    So.. I got sucked back into Magic.

    I haven't played the game in ages. I swore the game off for awhile... it's a long story. A couple of friends who used to play started back into it and sure enough... as if it were a sign I found my cards the other day searching around the storage space. Last set I was into was the one that...

    3:16 - Any actual play or stories?/sell me on

    Jealous!!!! What I'm wondering now that my book has arrived and I've been able to read through it, is how do GMs handle games where the players start reach the higher-officer levels? Soldiers with those kinds of ranks are rare on the 'frontlines' so how do people get Colonel's and Major's to...

    Mercs, cohorts, and hirelings—do you let your players use them?

    They are a main part of the rules and gameplay so yeah, we use them often.

    What's the WORST type of encounter you hate to write up?

    All of them. I realized writing up encounters is like trying to nail jelly to the wall. So I stopped.

    3:16 - Any actual play or stories?/sell me on

    Is this one of those trick "What's it about?" questions? Or just in general? You can check out the official page here. But in general, you play space marines in an action-packed galactic genocide war machine against space aliens. Like Starship Troopers an Aliens all wrapped in a real easy and...

    3:16 - Any actual play or stories?/sell me on

    Hey party people! This was going to start as a "Sell Me On" thread but I already put an order in for it. So instead this is more of a "Has Anyone Been Playing This Game?" thread. So, has anyone? I wanna hear about 'em. Did the player-competitiveness work well or is that more of a undertone to...

    Defining "old school" by vote

    For better or worse Dungeons & Dragons itself is just "old school" in general to me. Any edition. Time period is not a factor.

    Have you converted your favorite novels into a campaign setting?

    No I haven't tried. I never really thought A Little Character Goes a Long Way: A 35-Year Collection of Ziggy Favorites would make for a good campaign setting. But who knows...

    Human + whatever fits the game.

    What can MMORPGs teach us about world building?

    What they tell me is that they are mostly irrelevant unless you are actually there using it. For example: That troll village on some other part of the game server that you'll never visit? Sure in an MMO where there is hundreds, thousands and maybe tens of thousands of people playing, there was...

    A Question for the 25 and under crowd - What have you read?

    I think we should base D&D off the book The Gas We Pass: The Story of Farts :angel:

    [Ars Magica - 5E] How do the rules play?

    Thanks ArghMark for the reply. A follow up questions if your still around and willing: About your last point and the vitality/combat potential of magi. What exactly makes them squishy? I'm still digesting the rules and have just briefly skimmed the non-magic combat section so I'm ignorant of...

    [Ars Magica - 5E] How do the rules play?

    Hey gang. So this game has been sitting on my shelf for a few years now and I've always been interested in playing. Good things come to those that wait I guess because finally I have some friends who seem not only interested in trying the game out, but actually gung-ho about it! The setting...

    Drinking and Whoring for XP

    Basically this is how Barbarians of Lemuria works. The GM is encouraged to let the character finds mind-blowing amounts of loot. We're talking like Scrooge McDuck, swimming in vault of coins amount. Then the characters describe how they squander all their riches after the adventure on whatever...

    Ahahahaha. . . um, haha? :/

    At least they credited their account for it. But it is pretty asinine.

    Host file is crystal clear. :.-( Edit PS: So I got a hold of my ISP and talked with them earlier today. They had me do some minor trouble shooting at first but then we got into the nitty gritty. I plugged my computer straight into my modem (I normally have a wireless router) and was able to...
