Adventures... I see a lot of 'dungeons in space' type of adventures which is understandable because most people come from the Fantasy end of RPGs before SciFi. Derelict ships, ancient alien structures, etc. Sure, those are great but if that's all that you do, you're not exploring the things...

So I've recently been perusing some Traveller/2300AD rules, and watching Stars Without Number playthroughs with the eye towards eventually setting up a SciFi campaign involving characters with/assigned to a starship of some kind (merchant/military/exploratory). I don't know why, but SciFi seems...

Not precisely the same, but my Dungeon Crawl Classics world is on Faerun but thousands of years later. The capital city of the collapsing Empire of Man is Wardip, built on the ruins of at least two cities, the oldest of which was called Waterdeep. Castle Ravenloft is buried under a hill and...

So I just finished a chat with "seems to be doing it atm" referring to a software build. Then I came here and saw the last few pages...

What does DHS stand for? I assume H stands for Hobbies, because why wouldn't it when you call yourself DHS Hobbies.

Hi all, I'm planning to start up a new group in Northern Virginia (centered in West Springfield, but with some possibility of it being centered in Reston as one of my friends who lives there will be playing). I'm a new offline DM. I've run a few play by posts, and done one session of...

I'm not sure I grant him the second possible quality though...

So I just got caught up on this whole sordid thing. I had no idea there was this nuTSR, and at first was excited when I saw a reference to the new Star Frontiers. I find it amusing that a year or so ago they were saying they'd released a limited run of Star Frontiers: New Genesis and it was...

Whooooops! This is what comes from having a 4 month old baby and trying to do quick probability in your head. You are of course right! The probability of getting a probability problem wrong when one has a 4 month old baby? 100%.

You realize of course that your brother had a 2/3 chance of winning? When I first read it, it sounded like he would roll one die in which case it would be 50/50. But rolling two dice and adding them together? Even + Even = Even; Odd + Odd = Even; Even + Odd = Odd

Antares, I'm going to hold off until next week to update since right now it's just you... Hoping we get Voda Vosa back sometime soon-ish.

"Not insulting," replies the older man with a wink. "But I need it far less than young folk like yourself who are just starting out in the world. You can buy me a drink at the Half and Human when you get back." He pauses as the elf asks his question about the road ahead, "Young master, I know...

Well, Antares' biggest moment of glory so far was lobbing a lantern onto a gelatinous cube which seems to be somewhat 'fighter-ish' in nature. And there's always the "sometimes you internalize things when working on other things" so perhaps not working on his fighter skills let him become...

Beatrix looks up blearily at the conversation in the tent, and hears the rain on the fabric. She groans, "Malborka... I must have done something to offend you. I arrive at village at your request, and now sent out of the village. In the rain. Ah, but better to finish your work quickly to...

In truth, the night does pass uneventfully enough even if any crack of a branch outside gives certain elves a sleepless night. Or maybe it's the tent rattling snoring of a large Cleric. In any event, as the sky begins to brighten, a new sound arrives. The patter of rain against the tent and...

"Eliaesel's Breath, dwarf... Where the hell did you come from?" says a man under his breath as Muzdim approaches. The man automatically moves to the side, and on seeing the stance of the Dwarven cleric, sidles away as if trying to pretend he wasn't really meaning to be at the fire listening to...

Stellan replies to Antares. "I don't know. I think taking the Goblin in their sight would be a bad idea. The instigator is saying the Goblins were too eager to attack our town, and they're angry that they attacked Gregof even though they were tricked. I think they think it's safest to just...

Antares gives a long sigh and an amused smile. "Should have known that would be your reaction my friend. They're at the only full fire left." He points out the tent in the direction of a roaring flame. "I'm going to go to warn Antares just in case this gets out of hand." After Antares leaves...

I understand that this is a 'White Room' scenario but of course it would never be a White Room scenario. As a DM, if I were to use a Tarrasque, it would be in the context of the thing threatening something extremely important so that the players would either have to show great ingenuity in...

Beatrix looks at Antares with open amusement as he stumbles through his reply. "Yes. I am most certainly beautiful. It is result of much food blessed by Malborka. Maybe when you are certain that you are a mage, rather than asking me whether you are one, then you will worry when we are alone...
