    The New Forgotten Realms - (About) A Year Later

    This week the LFR adventure I am running takes place in some Mulhorandi ruins in a recently surfaced area of the Raurin desert. It's a MyRealms adventure, which means I wrote it myself. I loved Mulhorand too. Which is why I am featuring it in Living Realms! :)

    The New Forgotten Realms - (About) A Year Later

    There's actually a ton of 4th Edition Forgotten Realms material out there, all of it individually vetted and signed off on by the WOTC writing team. I'm talking about 80+ Living Realms adventures. Current, available now.

    Will D&D ever be able to regain a base of "casual" players?

    Not sure how relevant it is, but over at LFR HQ at GenCon, they literally ran out of new player signup cards. That's after going through around 500+. I had at least 6 "totally new" players in my tables that I had to fetch cards for and two that unfortunately never got a number.

    How is Old School not at least related to nostalgia?

    If you can reference the past (Blumes, Lorraine Williams, TSR) so easily, and toss off references like "subhuman garbage" and so on.. (and in other threads, references to Gygax)... I'm just having a hard time taking you seriously about not being influenced by the past. I really don't think...

    What is your favorite edition of D&D and why?

    I've been playing since 1978, and I loved 3rd Edition and AD&D1e. Neither of them are as awesome as my experience with 4th Edition. The reason is ease of use- for the first time.. ever- I can get a game together very quickly, the rules are easy to use and communicate even to new players, the...

    At Gencon, Did you learn or try anything new?

    We would love to have more LFR DMs! I played 50 hours of D&D (ran 8 LFR slots, played in 2) and had a blast, but as far as something new: I played one of those sit down in a circle "Werewolf/Mafia" games on Saturday night and had a really great time- I stayed in the circle about 6 times, and...

    Edition wars need to stop.

    I liked the title of the post. I agree with it! The content seemed like "why can't we have these edition wars related threads without being moderated?" Which I don't agree with. The edition wars will actually end (as they did in the 3e days) when the majority simply tunes out the angry guys...

    Ran/Played my first game of 4e yesterday.

    Hey Tortoise! Do you play down at the Haven in downtown Frederick? I played a bunch of LFR there during the winter and had a great time. It's about an hour away so I can't make it all the time, but I really love that town.

    I'll never live long enough to experience all of 4e

    I love all the options myself. I'm annoyed at the sly attacks whenever there is a positive mention of anything.

    PHB2 sold out!

    D'Karr organizes a monthly 4E gameday event in VA. There's tons of people who show up, and it grows every time he runs it. I run a similar event in Maryland on a weekly basis and it is now growing to the point that we are seating 21 people a week. What started out as a DM and 5 players is now...

    Hatin' the RPGA? (Forked Thread: The real flaw of 3E/3.5E/OGL)

    The RPGA has changed drastically not only in the last two decades, but also, just in the last year. For example: RPGA is 100% free. Free as in beer! There isn't just one RPGA style of game. There's several! There are living campaigns, delve events, one offs (like Beyond the Door which ran at...

    DDI, 6 months later: changing my mind

    The SRD doesn't have 4th edition. Anyhow, the SRD is a cool concept, and one I used plenty.. but in the long run, it's just a pale, pale comparison. DDI does more, it's configurable, and it builds stat blocks out of not only the standard sources, but also out of every monster in an LFR...

    Sweet Spot in AD&D1

    Are you factoring in training time/costs? I ran AD&D last year and had a great time with it. There's an interesting thing that happens during the low levels of AD&D: Let's say you are playing a thief, and you have accumulated 1300 XP. 800 of which came from gold. This is enough to go to 2nd...

    Putting your money where your mouth is.

    The monster builder is at D&D Insider You use the same one for NPCs in 4th Edition, although lately, when I stat up non combat NPCs I do it like so: Fizzbein (mayor): Diplomacy +9, History +7 Shalamat (sage): Arcana +12, Religion +12, History +15 ..because I don't assume they'll be in any...

    Anyone driving from the DC area?

    I am driving from the DC area. Technically I am driving from Columbia, MD, but I work in that area, drive around there often, and I have room in the vehicle. You can email me at pseckler13 (at) msn.com

    Mongoose 3.0/3.5 Grand Archive - Any Interest?

    It would be great if you set up a wiki at D20Haven.com. Even if this other wiki ends up being posted..it's still all D20 Open Gaming Content, so there's no reason it couldn't exist in more than archive.

    Darlene and the Dungeon Master's Guide

    She has officially dropped her last name, and goes by simply 'Darlene' now. But you can see that last name 'Pekul' in the credits of the DMG.

    I am running an AD&D1e game based around a multi-level dungeon complex and a little town of my own design. So far I have 4 players, ranging from germany to Utah. We can take more! You will need your web browser (for chat, dice-rolls, and maps) and Skype (for voice). The eventual game will run...
