Those are last years games. This year's schedule is still being finalized. I don't know much about the bureaucracy but not being an RPGA member shouldn't factor into you wanting to run a game. Best to contact the dudes, who are very friendly and always looking for people to run games.

My group usually goes every year. Eye-Con is bigger with more people running games while Syd-Con is usually smaller. The Blacktown RPGA usually run Living Forgotten Realms but another 4E game would probably be popular.

Fairly simple dude. The GM set it up, didn't get the desired reaction, table singled out a player (through roleplay or otherwise, it's still singling out). The GM, The Group and the player all made decisions that led to that monster yet the rogue was the only one to suffer negative effects. At...

Just because the majority of people agree the GM wasn't a dick doesn't mean he wasn't, it just means there are a lot of dicks in our hobby, which isn't news I suppose. Solutions, I would have suggested to the player that his level and treasure were elsewhere. Failing that, I would have put up...

My point is, this was set up by the GM purposefully. It doesn't matter who did the gagging and who nerfed the guys character because it was enabled by the gm. It's not appropriate, there are heaps of ways to deal with a player that doesn't involve group bullying. With attitudes like this, it's...

If you think that is an appropriate way to treat people and will not lead to more and worse OOC behaviour then all the power to you. However, speaking from experience, you never single out anybody and you especially don't pull something like that. If the player is metagaming then it's not a...

As the DM, you know the guy with all the story, he could have said "There is nothing in the cave" or something to that effect or how about "Come on dude, I got your back and will hook you up in due time". He could have handled the issue a million other ways that would not have ostracized the...

You could look into the EABA generic system, I found it refreshing.

Congratulations, you effectively ostracized a player because he/she doesn't play the way you deem fit. That's a dick move, you could have addressed this any number of ways but instead you felt he needed to be singled out and consequently now is not trusted at the table.

Anything inspired by Weird Fantasy. More specifically I really prefer pseudo-early modern to medieval with magic being something corruptible and heroes being Cryptozoologists and Cartographers rather than Knights or Wizards. Also, if anybody starts their campaign pitch with "It's a Western...

My mando is extremely rusty and I'm just trying to figure out how to type the pronunciation. You pronounce the SH like J-EH but soft and end with an inflected E. So it ends up SHJ-EE and not SHE. I've heard it can be pronounced like YH-EE (which sounds Vietnamese) but I think that's a Cantonese...

I totally reject this logic. If you're going to be offensive, ignorant, creepy or bigoted then don't be a coward and hide behind humour. There is nothing humerous about something designed to belittle and demean others based on traits they have no control over.

As somebody who loves the weird spirit of the game, I agree but as somebody who loves to play Goblinoids, I bitterly disagree.

Best show on television! Isn't Dan Harmon a member of the Dead Alewives?

I don't remember saying that Australia was any more or less racist than other countries. Perhaps I was being unclear, it's not that Australia is rife with racism. It's that Australia's brand of racism is masked as a joke and it's these jokes that lead me to kicking people out the most out of all...

It's okay dude, it's hard for people outside to grasp the full extent of what autistic means and how to deal with it. I know I've come along way since meeting my girlfriend's autistic brother. I've mostly had to kick people out of my groups for being racist or sexist. Australia's a country...

I don't know what sort of game you like to run but I enjoy tough decisions. You could have the guild's membership exclusive to children or at least pre-teens. Urchins who have either banded together in desperation to rise in fame, brutality and effectiveness (nobody wants to get rid of the...

Basically in any sort of narrative a character has a main motivation. For example, Inigo Montoya was motivated completely by Revenge much like Batman and the Bride. While Virtues and Vices act kind of like a moral compass anchoring the character's most positive element and their most negative...

I had similar problems with alignment but have since switched to the three tier method. Motivation, Virtue and Vice. Motivations are taken straight from Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs while Virtues and Vices are in line with what ever age you're playing in. I've found that this paints a much...

YouTube - Black Flag - Tv Party Replace tv the rpg I guess.
