    Chicago Gameday 27 is October 23rd: sign up to play now!

    Alright. I think I've given it enough time, but I want to respect the drop deadline, so I'm making the call now: Please cancel my current morning event. I'd much prefer that someone else with a full event that'd benefit from the private room have it rather than just a 2-3 person event, and I...

    Chicago Gameday 27 is October 23rd: sign up to play now!

    With only two players, and two other non-full events in the morning PLUS gamma world demos, I'm tempted to shelve my event and try it again another gameday. Ill wait for the one week mark to make the decision final. WJ, yours is probably the game I'm most interested in, if that weighs in on...

    Letting Players Narrate in the Game?

    I tried to do a bit of this in my one and only long-term foray into 4e DMing last year and I was very pleased with the result. I opened up the offer right from the outset to have some say in world-building via the wiki, and even offered some incentive to help get me some deities (thanks for the...

    Chicago Gameday 27 Planning Thread: getting ready for October 23rd

    Reid, My guess would be that #2 would be the more popular request, though both sound like they could be fun. Don't let another "i'm already running something first slot" guy be the decider though. :)

    Dark-Colored Battlemats?

    When i wanted to buy my first battlemat, I was at a GenCon, and on the last day of the con, all Chessex, or whoever was selling, had left was a small black mat. I've had it for years, but never used it for lack of anything to write on it with. Thanks to this thread, I can finally get some use...

    Chicago Gameday 27 Planning Thread: getting ready for October 23rd

    Let's give my poor event a title, and slightly edit the event blurb! This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things! System: D&D 4e Players: 6 All good things must come to and end right? You’ve adventured together for the better part of five years, but now, you’re all seeing life pull you in different...

    If it means you getting to have your session, I'd be willing to give you the private room, Michael.

    Chicago Gameday 27 Planning Thread: getting ready for October 23rd

    This isn't what we usually have at gameday, but it's certainly a neat idea. Would it fill a whole slot? As far as fitting ten people...especially ten average gamers into that room? That's more punishment than fun. :-p

    I'll take a morning slot, private room, 4e game Title: TBA Blurb: All good things must come to and end right? You’ve adventured together for the better part of five years, but now, you’re all seeing life pull you in different directions. Whether you want to settle down and run a business...

    Thinking of returning to AD&D 2nd ed... Advice needed.

    This thread has got me thinking again about running a 2e Players Option style game at the next Chicago gameday. I just stumbled across a copy of the core rules 2.0 cd too, so I've got RTF copies of the rulebooks, which makes me a happy man in terms of ability to look up rules quickly. I too...

    Best Forgotten Realms books (any edition)

    I'll always have a soft spot for the 2nd edition boxed set, simply because it was the home of the first game I ever DMed. That said, I've never seen the grey box, so I can't rightly compare the two, and if you're looking for the absolute best, my votes have to be: 1. 3e FRCS: Excellent...

    What's your favorite RPG that you've never actually played?

    I was IN that game, and it worked like a charm. As a matter of fact, I bought the book on the spot during a break in the action because of that game! I adore Feng Shui, but don't much care for its own story, so my games are usually random cheesy (and delicious) action movies. I've never had...

    3.5 better for world building?

    For purely building a world out of my imagination? I can do that in any system. For cobbling together stuff from published sources to use an established campaign, albeit with my mark on it? Same answer, but, it's much easier with 3/3.5 simply because there's more material out there, and it's...

    males playing females and the other way around, opinions?

    Doesn't bother me a bit. I play women all the time behind the DM screen, don't see why I'd need to stop on the other side. For me, the decision on what gender my character is largely depends on what I find in the way of inspiration for the character, be it a name that really grabs me, or a...

    Returned Abeir "Continent"

    The 'returned Abeir' thing was my biggest gripe with the 4e realms. I can live the the Spellplague, and other various changes, but that one bugged me. For one, I'd never read about this twin-world thing in the first place (in either the 2e box set, or the 3e FRCS), nor any of the supplements I...

    What's your favorite RPG that you've never actually played?

    I've always wanted to play a game of Werewolf: The Apocalypse. I've always had a soft spot for lycanthropes, and bought the book at an age when I was just getting into RPGs, and saw a big book full of werewolves. I have quite a few books for it, but never have been able to run it. From what...

    My Nentir Vale

    Great looking map! Hexographer is a neat little product that I get occasionally tempted to use. I own CC3, but the learning curve is incredibly steep and I'm just not sure I want to spend the time it takes to learn it. Seeing this makes me wonder how many people have made an effort to put the...
