Man, if that counts as perverted, count me among the most vile and debased gamers around. Most of my games are around DC Vertigo level of Mature, because real people do fun stuff without clothes sometimes. We don't describe things as they happen at the table, because, well, eww, but certainly...

Decouple character advancement from performance in battle. Award experience for completing objectives, roleplaying well, advancing the story, or some other behavior you want to encourage.

Welcome! Play whatever you like, but don't feel like you have to play a caster to keep up. The planes tend to screw with casters to a really large degree, actually. I'm not planning on capping things at 5-6, but it's more of a recognition of the limits of PbP. We probably won't get past those...

Yup, that's how I'd do it. Give him one level in an NPC class like Warrior, and apply the template. You should then replace the level in Warrior with another class (perhaps the Wolf or Dire Wolf class) when he gains a level. Although Savage Species forbids it, I don't mind if you want to split...

Both sound fun to me! The Libris Mortis Half-Vampire template has a +2 LA, so we'd need to split it up into two levels and start the character with an NPC class. Awakened animals are a touch trickier, but the majority of them don't really warrant any kind of LA at all in my opinion. You're...

Just try naming a place in one of your campaigns the way the Japanese do: 熊本 Kumamoto: Source of Bears 福岡 Fukuoka: Lucky Hill 長崎 Nagasaki: Long Peninsula 東京 Tokyo: Eastern Capital 京都 Kyoto: Capital City 大阪 Osaka: Big Hill 横浜 Yokohama: By the Beach 広島 Hiroshima: Wide Island 本州 Honshu: Original...

Ooh, one more nit I want to pick: Kara-Tur, and more specifically, Wa and Kozakura. They've got two islands that roughly simulate two different periods of Japanese history. They've named one of them "Child of the Cherry Blossoms" (it's so japany!). They named the other one "Harmony" (wa), but...

Yeah, it's a little odd to start with, but I'm really glad they came out with rules for distributing those big hefty LAs and Racial Hit Dice over a few levels. Harder to keep straight, but it works better than the 2e level caps, at least. And don't worry about his stats; for this game, having...

Yup, recruitment is open until September 2nd (Japan time). :)

The problem for me is that the most enthusiastic, interested players will gobble up all the available information on the setting. That's great, in that they do a lot of the legwork in hooking themselves into the setting and bringing a lot of the setting's unique flavor to the table. The trouble...

Excellent! I was hoping to see you here. :) Sounds fun! Your character can have any alignment you like. Related note: I don't mind chaotic monks, lawful barbarians, or evil paladins, for that matter. Consider all alignment restrictions lifted! Well, I changed the experience model in part...

Hello, berk. Look at your campaign setting. Now look at Planescape. Now back at your campaign setting. Now back to Planescape. Sadly, your campaign isn’t Planescape, but if you stopped playing around in puny little Prime worlds and joined my game, you could play a game in Planescape. Look down...

RG • IC This game is currently full, but I will continue to accept applications for alternate positions from interested players. Welcome, cutter! Welcome to the worlds beyond your world, the great wheel of the cosmos. This is a great place! Where else can a poor sod mingle with mighty minions...

I dislike how much of the setting is already mapped out and broadly familiar to most D&D players. That makes it great for computer games and novelizations, but for my style of play, I need to be able to make more stuff up on the fly. In a homebrew world, or any setting that has less material...

Hey now, that's my hometown! :lol: I still cannot believe no one has opened up a Wishy Washy Laundromat of Walla Walla Washington. There is a record shop called "Hot Poop" that bills itself as the "Walla Walla Bing Bang" record shop, though.

I used to live in Pullman and game all the time in Moscow. Believe me, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Moscow has a very healthy, very active gaming community--hop on over to Safari Pearl and introduce yourself!

Is that the TSR Marvel game I've heard so much about? I still have yet to find a copy, but everything I've heard makes it sound absolutely fascinating. Ooh, I love Ars Magica's system, too. Pendragon is great for this as well. There is the small problem that it constrains the kinds of games...

I work for a very traditional Japanese company, so there is a correct way to do everything, and a correct response to every question. The correct response to "What do you do in your free time?" is "I go drinking with my co-workers, play (golf/tennis), and spend time with my family." Being...

I've been thinking about character advancement and experience schemes recently, shopping around for the best advancement system I can find for the kinds of games I like to run. Which are your favorites? I really like Keys from The Shadow of Yesterday. Define what is important for your...

You start play with 2 0-level spells, 2 1st-level spells, and a bonus 1st-level spell for each point of INT bonus. At each level thereafter, you learn 1 new spell. That one spell can be of any level you are able to cast, although most players will choose a spell of the highest level they can...
