    Recommend a Spaceship survival scenario please.

    As a slightly free-form scenario, "Under a Metal Sky" (for the Dread RPG) is quite good. It's in the Core-Book, or available online for free at the publishers website. Also, there are 2 "Underwater" Cthulhu scenarios that you might be able to tweak fairly easily to sci-fi/space stories...

    Do You Read This News?

    First, THANKS for all you do to keep this site a hub of information for all RPG's. We may not say it often enough, but your hard work is appreciated. Gratned, the news page is my default "Landing Spot", but I do try to actively look at it every day, and find all the categories useful in...

    Ars - Is it just me?

    The Hermetic Magi are generally creatrues of habit, and are pretty hide-bound when trying something outside their specialty, though it is always possible to attempt. There are many parameters to spells, so lowering one of the less important parementers by a small amount makes it more likely...

    Boston Game Day - May The Fourth Be With You (PLAYER SIGN-UPS)

    Boston Game Day - May The Fourth Be With You (PLAYER SIGN-UPS)

    As far as I know at this point, Scoundrel and I will be there on time, if not early for the breakfast bit. (We're riding in together.) Ah, yes! I'd forgotten about the questionairres; THAT should be a blast!! (One of my favorite part of the Dread process!)

    Ashes of Athas DarkSun Campaign now available!

    Many thanks to Alpahstream & compabny for all their hard-works on this endeavor! As a DS player since 2E, it's great to see it continuing to be supported. (And thanks to Wizards for their generosity in letting it be distributed.)

    Boston Game Day - May The Fourth Be With You (PLAYER SIGN-UPS)

    It's always exciting reading about the awesome ideas presented; there's almost TOO much variety! :) For the AM slot, could I be signed up for the "Dread" game? And for the PM slot, could I be signed up for the "Sertorius" system? Thanks kindly, Rich (ShadowDenizen)

    Boston Game Day - May The Fourth Be With You (GM Sign-Up)

    Unless there's a sudden, unexpected outburst for a CoC game, feel free to take that second slot, FickleGM! (And thanks for asking!)

    Boston Game Day - May The Fourth Be With You (GM Sign-Up)

    As always, I'm happy to run something if needed and we're short on GM's, though I much prefer to play. If I do end up running, it would be something like Call of Cthulhu (I have the Trail Rules, but I'm not quite as comfortable with the ruleset), or perhaps a small indy game called "School...

    Silver Spring Hobby & Games Closes Its Doors

    The Boston area has lost quite a few stores over the years, but there's still a solid staple fortunately. Just this week, I hit both "Compleat Strategist" and "Pandemonium Books", and was able to find everything I needed for the Marvel Super Heroes RPG, Ars Magica, and CoC.. The former is in...

    Next Boston Game Day on May 4th

    Yay! It's been WAY too long since the last Game-Day! And of course, thanks to FickleGM and Pirecate for taking the lead on this!

    Who's playing Marvel Heroic Roleplaying?

    Agreed. I got to try a scenario at one of our local Gamedays, using some of the Marvel Pre-Gens. It modeled the Marvel Universe well, and people were able to jump right in. And we've since run a 6-episode arc with my current group that left quite a few plot threads dangling for us to return...

    Is it WotC’s responsibility to bring people to the hobby?

    I’ll try not to veer into Edition Wars in this thread. (Not hard, since I’m actively playing in a PF/4E and 5E Playtest game currently!!) :p And I still stand by my thought from some time ago that it’s a collaborative responsibility of both the Publishing Companies AND the player base to bring...

    Is it WotC’s responsibility to bring people to the hobby?

    I am very much an impulse buyer when it comes to RPG’s. BUT I am forced to (for the most part) put a “ceiling” on the items I buy. I’m MUCH more likely to buy something that’s reasonably priced than I am something that doesn’t give me as much enjoyment. (And WotC’s rising prices/decreased page...

    Kickstarter Call of Cthulhu - Horror on the Orient Express Boxed Set Kickstarter

    Speaking as someone who own the original, and is chipping in on the reprint…. Orient Express was a great adventure for it’s time, and really upped the standards from Chaosium. The contents of the boxed set was extensive for it’s time, including a carbboard cutout of the Simulacrum (see below)...

    Pre-Release Review of Atlantis Rising by Z-Man Games

    Thanks for bringing this up and the in-depth review! (And that's why I love the ENWorld Reviews section in general.) This sounds like it might be right up my alley, and yet I may have missed it due to the HUGE amount of new games coming out every week.

    Kickstarter Too many Kickstarter projects? Is Kickstarter the new d20 glut?

    Interesting topic, and thanks for posting, Morrus. I think there is a current glut of KickstarterProjects, personally. And it's apt to compare it to the early days of the D20 glut. But we're in the very early stages of this fad, and I think, as with the D20 glut, this will tend to even itself...

    20's guy in boston looking for a group

    Hey there! When you say "The Game" I assume you mean some stripe of D+D, or perhaps Pathfinder? If you're looking for a 3.5/Pathfinder group, either reply here, or shoot me a PM. My Thursday night group is always looking for new players, experienced or otherwise. If you're looking for a 4E...

    Mike Mearls interview at Slashdot

    Thanks for the link! Not much new, content-wise, but interesting to see things from a semi-new perspective. Personally speakng, I wish there were some more concrete ways of giving feedback other than replying to polls or posting in general threads. I think people, if given the chance, would...
