    official modules only in rpga - why?

    I play Living Arcanis exclusively at cons. I try to play with a lot of the same people as often as I can. My girlfriend and I have met other gaming couples and play with them when we can. But usually it's catch as catch can at the muster. In Living games the mustering Marshall should be making...

    official modules only in rpga - why?

    There is a home play option for the RPGA. I'm fuzzy on the details but as I recall Ian Richards told me the the RPGA was supporting DMs playing their own campaigns. Also, there is no reason that the DM running a home game has to abide by any time restrictions. I personally reccomend playing...

    Best D20/OGL Setting I SHOULD Own

    Vote for Arcanis I am an unapologetic Arcaniac. I voted for Arcanis, Freeport and Nyambe for all three are incorperated into the Arcanis setting. Between Arcanis and Freeport there is a lot of source material available as well as over 100 adventures all down loadable for free at the RPGA...

    Oots #225

    Hey Shane... This is Edward Kopp, formerly of Miami, now of Lexington, KY. How are you and Fionna? I wish you would comment on my statement. I know that you have had some sort of problem with LA after the first year or so. What gives? Since I am a fan I do have problems seeing Arcanis's short...

    Oots #225

    As a proud and self proclaimed Arcaniac I am not completely sure why this strip reminds anyone of Arcanis, except the presence of blast powder, the 2nd gift of Altheres. We Arcaniacs, as a whole, have no more munchkins than any other Living camaign. I find that the opposite is true with the...

    Would you buy pre-made campaigns?

    You can get this very thing through Living Arcanis put out by the Ennie winning Paradigm Concepts (they're the fans choice). There is a year long story arc for each year since LAs inception, along with side adventures. They use a system they call Hard Points, Soft Points and Anchor Points. Hard...

    Has the RPGA failed?

    I've been member for years and that's because most of my gaming experiences the last decade or so has been at cons only. I too miss the "classic" form of play that the RPGA provided in it's earlier incarnations. I learned how to be a better role player through the pregen characters available...

    Please Help Me Select a Campaign Setting

    I recommend Arcanis Check out this thread for more details and see if it's for you. Arcanis is truly one of the most undervalued settings out there. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=140674

    Tell me about Arcanis

    Testemony from another Arcaniac I can only agree with all that has been posted here about Arcanis. It is this campaign that brought me back into gaming. I know the Miami members of Team Paradigm and I can say with out hesitation that these guys are into telling epic stories in their games. They...

    World Building Help - Finding the Lost Continent

    I use "Underworld" as a premise for my homebrew too. Only I use the maps of the Earth pre-deluge. Do you have an imminent flood? I've developed the setting to be played in three different eras; before each of the three great floods. As fpr why the continent has become lost to time... how about...

    Which settings are worth looting?

    Another Arcanis fan I think the Arcanis setting has more plunderable stuff than anything else I've read. Their recent book ":)Ssethregore: In the Coils of the Serpent Empire" is the best treatment of the scaly races I've seen. It's great stuff, check it out. Arcanis, for those who don't know...

    Arcanis Fans -- You May Now Be Jealous

    What is Arcanis?!? Arcanis is a world of political intrigue and heroic adventure. It's the largest member run RPGA campaign, easily running the biggest single event at both GenCon Indy and Origins last year. This year it is so popular at Origins that it has sold out of it's regualrly scheduled...

    RPG Society: The 2005 Thread

    I'm actually a huge Arcanis fan. Yes, it has a very strong RPGA presence, but that is under thier member run campaign program. The RPGA does no advertising for Arcanis, or Kalamar or any other nonWotC vehicle. The RPGA is trying to do more to include nonconvention goers. They are starting to let...

    RPG Society: The 2005 Thread

    I've been led to believe that GAMA is an industry focused organization. They have no plans for dierect player promotion. GAMA doesn't advertise the hobby as a whole to the general audience of nongamers. There is a growing recognition of D&D in mass media. The GE comercial comes to mind. The...

    What role do reptile people play in your setting?

    I use them as the original empire that destroyed all the other ancient societies. I get my take on lizardfolk from Ssethragore: Empire of the Serpents, by Paradigm Concepts. Though it is written specifically for the Arcanis setting it's so well written that it can be used where ever you have an...

    Paradigm Concepts has already written two source/adventure books. The first is Carnival of Swords: An Adventurers Guide to Old Coryan. It has a detailed history and lots of useful information about the city of Old Coryan in the world of Arcanis. Not only does it have a great adventure, it alos...

    Looking for a publisher

    Sir, It takes far more than being called a Crack Head to make me cry. In as polite a manner as I know how I am merely pointing out that I recognized my mistake, immediately corrected and agree that it's importnant to understand the legal ramifications of the OGL. If you feel retracting and...
