Kopang for running his game, my fellow players at that game, and the people who played with me in the event that...

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    That is what the back pack is for, when I am not holding things to make the lives of player characters a bit rougher. I am looking forward to Saturday.

    Chicago Gameday XV: Thanks for the memories

    Hi, Buzz Sign me up for Slot 0, Breakfast and in Slot 1, sign me up for Game 2: Hero's Banner. Also, Buzz, maybe we can have a few borard or card games on the side for those whose events wrap up early.

    Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

    Let us hope that the bear does not have the gas generation mutation. :lol: Buzz, I can let COWS know about the sign up thread. We may also want to let the people on the various local D&D Meetup groups know about the gameday.

    Burned out and stepping out of gaming for a while.

    Take whatever time you need to heal, Hellhound. It is hard losing a friend, especially under the tragic circumstances that you shared with us. What matters most is that you focus on what is important in your life. Gaming will be around if you want to get back into it. I think you have...

    Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

    Okay, I have slightly modified my event description. The Staff of the Seven Winds, a D&D 3.5/Arcana Evolved adventure. You and your allies have been asked to retrieve the Staff of the Seven Winds from its resting place. In the past, your allies have helped retrieve other ancient items in your...

    Did you know...?

    We really have grown since the days of the Third Edition rumors. So, thanks to everyone who helps make this site run so well and feel so friendly.

    "Roleplaying": Thank you, Mr. Baur

    I think that roleplaying can perhaps be defined as actions that a player character takes in an adventure. For example, a player who has a character charge a hated enemy -- either silently or with the character throwing out invectives questioning the foe's courage and parentage --- may be...

    Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

    Digital M@, this is very generous of you. I will miss having you at the Gamedays, but I hope you can get one started in the Pacific Northwest. Buzz, put me down for an event in the afternoon slot at present. I will begin working on my event, which is tied into some of the previous events that...

    Worst Value for Money RPG Purchase

    Chaosium's Stormbringer book for D20 was spectacularly bad and showed little understanding of the basic rules of the D20 system.

    D&D 4E Will 4E be announced?

    I will say no, based on Eric's latest information. Mind you, I would hope that WoTC at least would try to do a few surveys of the gaming public. I think that WotC would be wise to figure out what the customers want out of a new edition.

    Eric Noah's Info

    Well, since we are still uncertain of what's happening with a possible 4th edition, I guess we can continue to speculate. While RPGs may never become a mainstream hobby, there are perhaps some ways to attract more new gamers. Perhaps an improved basic set might work, as well as some products...

    Bye Monte!

    Good luck, Monte and Sue!!! I wish you success, and thank you for your hard work and your insights into the hobby. Good luck with your future projects, and I suspect that we will be seeing some more gaming products from Monte Cook down the road. We must have the courage to follow our dreams...

    Eric Noah's Info

    I could easily see more products that work with miniatures along the lines of Dungeon Delve, as they are modular and might be fairly easy to adapt. Cards, similar to the ones the RPGA uses in Living Greyhawk, are something that I could see being used in a new edition. (Generally, these cards...

    Eric's Annual Trip down Memory Lane

    Eric, thanks for the memories, the hard work, and the laughs. It is hard to believe how your original site in 1999 evolved into today's EN World. Your site was one of the few things that sold a rather stubborn group of gamers on a new edition. I would bring in materials for review, and there...

    I'm curious about the RPGA...

    The RPGA can be a mixed bag, but most gamers are decent. I have run into a few min/maxing jerks, a few overly dramatic roleplayers, and a few bad players, but most of the players I have met are pleasant, fun loving, and enthusiastic. I think that the RPGA attracts a wide variety of players...

    Do you mix D&D and Arcana Evolved?

    I am not currently running a campaign, but I have combined AU/AE and D&D in a few events I have run at Chicago Gamedays. The two systems work well together, and my players have had fun with the characters and the events. I have in such events replaced Hide and Move Silently with Sneak, and...

    They'd revoke my D&D gamer license if they knew....

    EN World Gamedays might help mitigate against this.
