    Age of Worms - Campaign tone?

    Possible Spoilers: I'm going to watch some episodes this weekend just to get a feel for it. I'll probably just choose characters from the show and use them as examples. Feral Dog gang: The thieves responsible for the norwiegan family's murder Balabar Smenk: Either Al or Cy Tolliver...

    Age of Worms - Campaign tone?

    I would say Cy Tolliver is worse than Al, but I might be biased because I love Al in the show. Al, although he is definitely evil, has a streak of goodness to him, that shows from time to time. Cy on the other hand, is just plain evil to the core. I totally agree about the veneer of civility...

    David C. Sutherland III passed away (merged)

    Very sad :( I still remember running around my yard fighting the monsters that I had seen in the original monster manual with a stick sword, before i even understood the stats besides the pictures. His art ignited my imagination, and began a love of this hobby, something that has been going...

    An open "Thank you" to Erik Mona

    You're doing a great job Erik! I love the new format and the online downloads for Dungeon. I may not use all the adventures, but I love reading them month to month. Age of Worms is some of the best adventure writing I've seen in a long time, can't wait for the next installments!

    Tears of joy. So happy to see you writing again. My inspiration for my own game is back. :)

    Iron Lore ... can't wait ... Any playtesters here?

    Im curious at how much work it takes to set up a location from a GM perspective. I barely have enough time to finish a npc, much less a detailed location like that. And if this is easy to use, how easy would it be to use the location rules in a DnD or AE game?

    D&D 4E OT: Shadowrun 4E announced

    Hehe...just look at the cost and weight of Pocket Secretaries (even in 3ed)...aka Palm Pilots :)

    I actually think this is a pretty cool concept. If they make the decker something besides a legwork npc, Ill be very happy.

    D&D 4E OT: Shadowrun 4E announced

    Yes, using the M&M system would require some handwaving on the money part, probably moving the reasons for doing runs to more roleplaying reasons, like influence with the corp, your contacts, or just for lifestyle perks. Less about actual cash numbers. To be honest, in the 10+ years that I...

    D&D 4E OT: Shadowrun 4E announced

    This is almost exactly what our Decking became. The main issue i had with it is that it makes the whole cyberdeck totally worthless. But its certainly easier. We had to houserule rigging too, since the rules didn't mesh very well with standard combat. IMO, the rigging rules should have been...

    D&D 4E OT: Shadowrun 4E announced

    4e SR: I hope they simplify and bring a consistent core system for all aspects of the game. Rigging and Matrix were effectively useless in 3ed. I remember having 3-4 hr combats in SR, that covered less than a minute in gametime. Thats a bit ridiculous in my opinion. The system was just not...

    List of Dungeon Rooms?

    Does anyone know where I can find a comprehensive list of dungeon room descriptors? Just one word descriptions will work (i.e. Barracks, Guardroom, Torture Room, etc) Usually when I create a dungeon, I use a premade map (like one of Phineas Crow's) and then populate using my own key. However...

    Against the Cult of the Reptile God - your experiences?

    Ive ran this module a few times. I even rewrote it once from memory because I had lost it. I later bought a pdf of it and it was fun to compare my memory's version to the actual. Needless to say, this is my favorite classic adventure. I love mysteries, either running or playing.

    Gameday Ennui/Laziness/Jitters

    Every week, I run a game for my friends. Its on a weeknight, after work. Every week, I work on my game and Im usually pretty enthused about it. But come gameday, I don't feel like playing. I usually ignore it and run the game anyway, and almost everytime, I have fun and Im glad that I ran...

    Something Awful reviews BoEF

    Most of it, if it truly comes from that book, reminds me of joking around in highschool during a marathon weekend session after drinking two gallons of soda. The stuff that made you laugh until you cry because you havent slept in 24hours. Nothing that you would actually use in a "serious" game.

    Something Awful reviews BoEF

    I couldn't agree more. Especially considering my group is all hetero guys. (Btw, that link has a really disgusting pic when you scroll down, not sure if its worth a warning or not. Didn't offend me, but you never know about other's sensibilities.) Just noticed that one of the author's names...
