    What Should You Be Able to Accomplish in Four Hours?

    Our game is really just an excuse to get together. I've been gaming with these guys for 7 years and the group has (mostly) been together for about 10. At least one of the players won't show up till 20-30 minutes late. After which we eat, enjoy beverages, and talk about work, spouses, kids...

    How To Resurrect D&D Miniatures

    As has been mentioned before, the market is pretty saturated. So without resuscitating demand somehow (ie renwed support for the skirmish game) I'm not convinced that a tweaked business model will create enough additional sales for WOTC to consider it worthwhile. And by tweaked business model I...

    Steel Dragon's "Tales of Orea"

    SteelDragons, not sure where this SH went, but I've been enjoying it and am looking forward to more.

    Does anyone want to talk about D&D?

    In my 3.5 game, my players made their way through the Underdark to an ancient dwarven city. Many undetected traps later (the rogue burns very well) they came to the city and discovered it was completely inhabited by dwarf-sized shadows. Most of them ignored/couldn't see the PC's. Once they...

    [RBDM] Who is it going to be?

    Ahh... Blissful clarification!

    Running "Intro to D&D" at Library --Suggestions?

    You may consider modeling the pregens after pop-culture characters that they're already going to be familiar with. The same way most of us did if we started as kids. Dwarf fighter as Gimli, Elf archer as Legolas, wizard as Gandalf, any martial artist as monk, etc... I'm not saying use the actual...

    Bob Salvatore on the various editions of D&D

    Thousand Orcs is where I started getting frustrated with the books. You'd read a couple of hundred pages and by the time you got to the end, nothing had been resolved. Then in the next series (Transitions, I think?) it was more non-resolution and a few random, pointless deaths. I haven't read...

    'Tis the season

    During this period of holidays (regardless of which, if any, you celebrate) I was curious what holidays are celebrated in your game worlds. The fact that I'm currently world-building and looking for unique holidays, etc... has nothing to do with this thread. ;) For instance, in my previous...

    Fake TPKO ("It was only a dream")

    As others have said, we need to know why this information is being imparted. Is it a threat from the BBEG, a gift from a certain character's god, or something else? And why is it happening here and now instead of in other circumstances? Will this continue to happen in the future in other...

    One Book

    I definitely appreciate all of the responses and suggestions! While I'd love to GM a PF game, I don't think it will happen in the near future. Since I'm currently GMing a 3.5 game and expect to be for the next few years, does that change any of your recommendations? Thanks again, Tam

    One Book

    I always prepare to run the game, but I do love to play. I thumbed through the Bestiary today, and pardon my ignorance, but is there enough difference between the 3.5 MMs and the Bestiary to justify the new book? Thanks for everyone's responses and help!

    One Book

    I just received the Core Rulebook as a gift and am loving it. I have a gift certificate that will cover another PF book, but I don't know which one to get. I'd like one that is extremely beneficial to a potential Pathfinder game in the future, but that I might also be able to use with the 3.5...

    Looking for a good fantasy city (d20)

    There's also Saltmarsh in the 3.5 DMG2.

    Gaming, Adults, and Growing Up

    In my mind it's all about balance. You need to do something that entertains you and helps you recharge. She needs the same. But this is also a relationship involving two people. In order for that relationship there needs to be time and activity together. You two need to figure out what works for...

    X-COM (updated M-W-F)

    And we would have all been worse off. Ken, I really appreciate all the time and effort it's taken for you to bring these worlds to life. I know it wasn't easy and even with reader posts it probably felt thankless at times. I've spent hours reading your stuff on "extended lunch periods" and while...

    X-COM (updated M-W-F)

    Seconded. This was absolutely up to the standard we've all come to expect. I'll definitely miss reading your stuff here. I guess it's time to dig back through Travels and Shackled City. Thanks for all the time and effort it took to keep us entertained! It has been thoroughly enjoyed and...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Intro Set

    Sounds an awful lot like the 2000/2001 D&D 3.0 Adventure Game. Which is what got me into gaming to begin with. And I have a huge soft spot for products like this.
