It took me about an hour and a half driving the streets, as I worried about the state of the expressways --- which sounded like parking lots from a few reports. I think we might have had the worst weather yet of any Gameday. Still, it was a blast -- and not just the winter blast on the way...

Thanks to thalmin and everyone at Games Plus for being great hosts, and buzz for his hardwork in organizing the Gameday. Thanks to Reidzilla and my fellow Agon players. I had fun. Also, I would like to thank my players in The Hand of the Mountain. You were a fun bunch to DM, and I am looking...

I have bought it, and it is very good indeed. There are a few reviews of Hamunaptra here at EN World. You may also want to try Necropolis as well.

Less than one day to go for the EN World Chicago Gameday!!!

Welcome to the Gameday, George and Dalkai!! Okay, I have two more slots, but as I said, I am flexible. Remember, most GMs at the Chicago EN World Gameday are pretty accomodating. So, there should be some room for walk-ins.

Well, we still have some slots to fill as we are less than 36 hours until the start of the Gameday!! So, let's give this thread a big BUMP!!!!!

Buzz, I am glad to help out. I am already double checking everything for my event. Can you update the 1st post to reflect that I have Game 3 in slot 2. Also, I should be able to handle a few walk ins. If anyone has questions about the event, I will be checking in a few times today. Come...

Ninjacat, the Vikings did raid as fair south as North Africa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikings . So, a Viking ancestor is possible for the character -- along with perhaps a duo of quarreling Viking and Visigothic ghosts whom only the Valkyrie can normally see or here. (If you want to play...

Buzz, I am ready to step up to the plate. So, remove me from Mark's afternoon game so I can rerun the following event from two Gamedays back. (Buzz, I will also take walk-ins, as I have designed my events to be fairly flexible in number of players.) THE HAND OF THE MOUNTAIN An adventure for...

Well, a good tie in, would be that the character believes her family is distantly related to the Visigoths of Spain. (Hmm, maybe she occassionally talks to a Visigothic ancestor. It might be a good roleplaying hook -- especially if that ancestor is argumentative or sarcastic.)

I voted usually no, as their is a cost for characters and it does require some effort for a party to get this done. Note that it can also be a matter of finding someone willing to cast the spell on a character. So, it may take some effort to convince someone that an unknown PC is worth the...

Also, there are times when not telling a lie can lead to harm. An example of this would be telling the agents of a tyrant where an innocent person or a dissident is, knowing that the person they seek will be tortured and killed. I think that one thing that has to be considered is the...

Well, what if one of the old foes of the PCs has an ally among the Unseelie Court who wishes to do the PCs and their home communityharm? The cohorts and familiars learn of this while the PCs are busy elsewhere and out of contact, so they have to step up to the occassion. (Think of the...

During part of 2nd Edition, spells of a limited level could be gained by faith alone. (This is somewhat similar to Eberron, where no one can definitely say that the gods exist. Theoretically, in Eberron, someone who believes strongly in the power of Tommy the Talking Turtle has the same access...

Well, I recall that in 1999, one year prior to the release of 3.0, there was a quick preview game at Gen Con. There were early versions of the iconics (I played an elven wizard), and I know play testing followed. I have not decided when 4E will be announced, but I know that another addition...

I really like the book, and I have used it in some of my D&D/AE games at Chicago Gamedays. I think that it does a good job in presenting a variety of spells. Mind you, for a campaign, I would suggest looking over the spells --- and checking out some of the other AE supplements. (I...

Welcome back, Gary. I hope that you wil have a complete recovery. As for the Bears, I am rooting for them. Now the Green Bay Packers are playing in what post-season game? Darts? ;)(I will avoid the Wisconsin jokes that are perhaps better reserved for the succesor sites of Nutkinland.)

Congratulations, Buzz!!! One thing that I have done that has helped for large events is to add more support for the villains in the terms of henchmen, and have a slight increase in the power of single creatures in encounters. As for additional character ideas, you could try a talking, mobile...

Hi, Buzz: Sign me up for Slot 0, Breakfast; Slot 1, Game 1: Agon, "The Isle of Oryonica" Slot 2 Game 2: D&D 3.5, "Caverns of the Condemned" I will see about bringing a few things for the prize table and a few things for those who miss breakfast.

Happy Birthday, Monte!!! Thanks for all your good work over the years. I have been running Arcana Evolved/D&D 3.5 events at the Chicago EN World Gamedays on a fairly regularly basis. (They have gone over quite well.) I hope that this is a great year for you.
