    Backgrounds of Military Characters - an observation.

    The Spycraft Militaries series are designed with just that outlook in mind, allowing PCs to be created with ample background information provided. Indeed, US Militaries provides more background information than I daresay most groups will require on a session to session basis. By the nature of...

    Looking for some good published serial adventures.

    I've got the original (3.0) Freeport scenarios and, although I've not run them yet, they are perfect for a starting point to a campaign (although I'll be using them with AEG's Swashbuckling Adventures - and some tweeks).

    She's A Keeper!

    13 years here - and the weird thing is that she loves reading fantasy novels. She's read all the Forgotten Realms novels, most of the Dragonlance ones, even a couple of Ravenloft novels. Not forgetting her (and it is hers!) collection of David Gemmell and Katherine Kerr novels! I've tried...

    Which year did you start playing D&D

    1984 here... I'd been playing/reading the Fighting Fantasy books and got the D&D Basic Set as a 13th birthday present. Although, really, I didn't start playing D&D (or, rather, AD&D 1st edition) until 1987 as my first games of D&D were with me as DM... so I can honestly say I've been DMing...

    I'm not in Northampton myself, but I run the UK Role Players website which aims to try and get people in touch with other clubs and gamers. You might have some luck there.

    Ranger without spells: what compensation?

    Although I haven't received my copy yet, I believe that Swashbuckling Adventures has a ranger variant that doesn't get spells.

    A request if you will... Kalgonard is a muscular dwarven barbarian with a dwarven waraxe in one hand and a tankard of ale in the other. His style of dress brings him lots of strange looks as he wears a rough, cotton shirt, half tucked into a kilt. Attached to his belt is a sporran, while his...

    Do you use Internet Homebrew settings for your games? (include links)

    I'm actually very interested in your homebrew (it's similiar in outlook to one I was about to start work on myself!), however the campaign setting download links don't work. Do the RTF or PDF documents still exist? Not a problem if they don't, I'll just use the information you've got on the your...

    Call of Cthulhu (sp?) is another excellent convention game.

    It's been 45 Days....

    Believe it or not... my son. He's just turned 2 and, although I've never smoked in the house (always went out into the garden), just looking at him and thinking, if I keep smoking I might not get to see his children (I'm 34), made me seriously think about it. Then, coming back from a convention...

    It's been 45 Days....

    Congratulations. I'm on 8 days myself and still finding it tough. The longest I've lasted was 38 days, so I'm hoping to beat that this time (this is my third attempt at giving up).

    I'd give the official Living Greyhawk website for Onnwal a visit - http://www.onnwal.org.uk/ The Scarlet Brotherhood feature heavily in that regions current plots. There's also a free Onnwal Gazetteer available (I think from the Living Greyhawk - Onnwal mailing list -...

    [Spycraft] More realistic, politcal intrigue-ish game?

    I honestly can't believe that people are suggesting using d20 Modern for an espionage game! Spycraft is THE espionage roleplaying game. The different levels of realism can, as has already been stated, be easily obtained just be reading through the Control section (pages 261-263 deal with...
