    Don't horn in on my action, pal. Find your own charity cases. Move along. Nothing to see here.

    Forked Thread: 3.5 Discounts (FREE TOOLBOX)

    Good point. I never said when I'd mail them. Fine. A decision by week's end on the best reason… both so far are really good, too… although, I need money to buy games from other people is not as salient an answer as I'm dying of d20-itis and toolbox is the only cure... and no, you can't use that...

    Um. Right here. If you have a good reason for getting one… er two. But seriously, it's still on the net. Amazon and others have it.

    Forked Thread: 3.5 Discounts (FREE TOOLBOX)

    Free? What the hell are you playing at, Jeff? We all know nothing is free. And like a cheap date, you give it up to the first e-mailer? Well. I'm going to one, and then two-up you, Jeff. I'm going to give away two copies for free to the person who can explain the best reason why he deserves...

    UPDATE: We added a new player this weekend. And we could use one more. The new guy has never played RPGs before and really grokking the concepts. He's smart, eager, and already looking into new books to help him "play better." I think I've entered the twilight zone.

    Modernist and Postmodernist RPGs?

    I agree. This is a much more accurate way to look at RPGs. Ironically, post-structuralism is a type of critical theory stemming from post-modernism.

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    There are about a hundred ways for the WLD to destroy your game world, so that you can game in a fresh new 4.0 world after the fact. If you need such an excuse. To the people having trouble with Region B map... I can only say I'm sorry so many times. GAMER: "So say it again." jim: "Sorry."...

    Modernist and Postmodernist RPGs?

    Modernism is a response to Romanticism. As more and more people become disillusioned with the state of the world before and during World War I, especially those artists and writers in self-imposed exile, modernism grows to encompass all creative human thought that places the power of the...

    Hey, We are playing an experimental city campaign every two weeks in Culver City on Saturdays. We need one, maybe two more people for about 6-10 hours of gaming on average. That's right. We game all day when we game. Contact me if you'd like to know more. This is set in the city of COIL as...

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    the beauty of the northern regions is that you can make them A LOT taller if you want to (especially J and L) and it merely pushes the cavern maps further away, without disrupting meticulous cartographers

    D&D 4E What would you want to see in 4E?

    i agree with all of this add to this, a simplified social interaction system that allows anyone to derive a quantifiable bonus to gameplay simply by "asking around." this is an extremely complex idea to explain (but easy to use)... that i've addressed on my blog very recently

    and of course, there's the issue of cleaning out the regions that the PCs missed the first time btw... did anyone notice that this thread has been read over 90,000 times?

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    yeah. that's a better call. the PCs go in KNOWING that the dungeon is a prison. but no one has been inside for 10,000 yeas so know what knows the contents. and no one has any IDEA where the RELIC might be.

    Political Topics in a campaign

    Tithing. What crops to plant. Famine. War. Disease. Religious freedom/oppression. Roads. In a fantasy society, all of these things are cureable, with enough magic. This sounds like an awesome idea for a campaign.

    Jon Hodgson and I created this game for charity, so it would be great if people could spread the word about it. And since today is National Child Safety day, it seem an appropriate day to release the game. Thanks for your help. georgeschildren.blogspot.com
