Check it! A quick trip down memory lanes equivalent of Daigon Alley...My most unusual games and those of a few other... 30 Years of Weird - Strangest Campaigns Ever http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/195775-30-years-weird-strangest-campaigns-ever.html My most interesting...

Space...The Final Frontier I am a HUGE SciFi/Space RPG fan and gamer with the vast majority of my campaigns over the last 30+ years being set in the genre. While I am an avid fan of Star Trek (prefer Last Unicorn's ICON system version) and was a big Star Wars fan (there is only WEG's D6 for me...

I think part of the problem, at least for me, is that I could adapt Pre-3E stuff while waiting for more to come out. Cleaned, refined and such, the D20 system was basically an evolution of what came before. 4E has an apples to oranges feel to me. Its a new game with new mechanics. I can't figure...

That was a long time ago... In a galaxy far, far away. Brooklyn actually. The first game I ever ran was original D&D in the summer of 1978. I'd been playing for just about a year when I went off to summer camp and a friend brought the game in. Few people had heard of it or played it and since...

Oh yeah! One of my all time favorite systems, I am particularly impressed by some of the variations that have been generated over the years. Compare Star Wars D6 with Men In Black or DC Universe and you'll see what I mean right away. I haven't used it too often for homebrew campaigns but I...

One of our biggest complaints with 4E at present is that playing 4E after 3.5 is, at this point, like giving up your top of the line 3D art programs for CorelDraw 1. We've already built up and learned so much, gotten so many options books and tweaked it just so that asking my group to play 4E is...

Thanks Danny - Seems you and I are fairly like-minded from the comments on each others posts I've seen. Generally I just eyeball it, however I do own a great deal of books and we often create spells or ideas for spells, write them up and then do a good deal of research for similar spells by...

Don't play much D&D to begin with... But we tried 4E and came out of it with various opinions. Most didn't like it, one or two hated it and one thought it was down right ok. If I have to D&D it'll be 3.5 for me and my posse. We'll stick to Star Trek (LUG ICON System, Classic Traveller...

Not exactly By-The-Book The Wizards, Sorcerors and other spell casting magic users of my primary D&D world tend to be very unique largely thanks to concepts build into the milieu. As I've mentioned before in other threads, in order to graduate from apprentice level to becoming an actual first...

First, Second and the Third Kind Mutants & Masterminds: For me, an avid fan of simple D6 systems, the best thing you could possibly do with a D20 outside of the original Paranoia game. I was into this one before it came out (in a manner of speaking) and I've run many a cool campaign with both...

This is a painful one for me to 'cuz' ;) I really wanted this to be cool. I loved practically everything from R. Talsorian but they should have just worked to make their Interlock System actually interlock instead of recreating a poor man's HERO System. AD

I'm another that guy... Exalted: The art and the concept seemed awesome and right up my gaming group's alley until we realized that the game really isn't about what we thought it was. It may not even be about what the creators think it is. The asian influenced over-the-top martial arts are...

In my primary D&D campaign world, each of the Elven subgroups cover certain family houses. For example, Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning are all High Elven while the Sylvan Elves include Day, Ever, Morning and Dusk. So it can be easily determined that RainCatcher is a High Elf while DayCatcher...

I haven't done anything quite like this...though I have run worlds in which the only "monsters" were faeries, giants, dragons and other creatures directly from folklore, believed to be very real at the time those stories were written. Remember the works of Pliny the Elder were considered...

I think it may also have something to do with the heavy D20 bent that this site has, especially in light of the release of 4E. For example, it turns out the Anima: Beyond Fantasy RPG was finally released by Fantasy Flight Games, a fact that's not even clear on FFG's own website (unless you...

I NEED this book... http://www.hobbyjapan-shop.com/shopdetail/002019000096/order/ Not want - NEED. I have the original edition from the late 80s/early 90s and I would love to get my hands on the D20 version. I collect Japan RPGs but my old source is, alas, no longer viable. If anyone can...

Is it me or has there not been a lot of news and information coming from this weekends GenCon? With the up-to-the-minute coverage afforded San Diego Comic Con and Toy Fair, I figured the news services and sites of our hobby would give a comparable treatment to GenCon 2008 but things have been...

I've been doing this sort of thing for a good 25+ years now. A long time ago, in a campaign far, far away ;) , there weren't hundreds of books full of spells and magic items. My players and I developed the concept that new spells and magic items were hard to come by but customizing tried and...

It holds a special place in my heart... But D&D is by no means my favorite. My favorite game system is Mutants & Masterminds at present, though my favorite game of all is Last Unicorn Games' ICON system Star Trek Role Playing. Star Trek is my fave partially because its a great game...

I was actually gonna ask what the heck a "15 minute adventuring day" was but I think I've reasoned it out after reading the various posts. My next question is..."so people really experience this?" What do you do on an epic quest where your battling through hordes of enemies, facing off against...
