I've managed to read less than half of the tributes here (and will read more later), but it is clear that this was a man loved by those who'd never met him. Gary was kind enough to answer some of my impertinant questions over on Dragonsfoot. And he did so with a wit and a courtesy which seemed...

At GenCon UK in 2007, I saw an entire table full of laptops - DM and players alike - deep in a Living Greyhawk game. The entire table was French players. With the amount of table-top taken up by portable PC's, I'm surprised they had space to roll dice! In my home game, laptops are banned. If...

I played a good chunk of Necromancer's Tower of Jhedophar - built for L14-L15 PC's. A log of the events therein can be found here.

NeMoren's Vault revised for 3.5e available at the Firey Dragon Downloads shop. The original 3.0e version is also available at their Adventures page. And there's a free epilogue adventure available as well.

NeMoren's Vault is quite good, and I think they have a 3.5e version available as a PDF on their website (Fiery Dragon Games).

Though I haven't used it in a game yet, I'd like to nominate the cool city of Gate Pass from the ENWorld War of the Burning Sky Adventure Path Campaign Saga. It's a great concept: a long, narrow city running the length of a ravine between two mountains. Gives a great feeling of enclosure whilst...

Wanted! Mature (twenty-something and upwards) roleplayer for established group, based in Southport (Merseyside), UK. We meet weekly on Thursdays between 7pm and 10pm. We will be playing Dungeons and Dragons 3.5, but are willing to try out other games and genres as the inclination takes us. I...

Would a Grimlock butcher a Held opponent without a second thought? Yes. As a DM, you have to role-play the NPC's, if that means being blood-thirsty and showing no mercy, then that is what is expected of you. All of us have fudged die-rolls to prevent random chance taking out a beloved PC...

Because we have two little ones (3 and 2), our gaming group meets at our place. We schedule the game for evenings and have them in bed (hopefully) by the time people arrive. It's the best solution for us. One of the players recently had a baby, his g/f has been playing as well, and she had to...

We generally meet weekly. When I am DM-ing, I generally try to summarise where the game ended the session before. If I need to add a couple more points, I do. Playing 2e years ago, I signalled the end of idle chit-chat and the start of carnage by reading "The Journal" - a couple of paragraphs...

Wilderlands of High Fantasy (Necromancer Games/ Judges Guild, 2005) DCC#35 Gazetteer of the Known Realms (Goodman Games, 2007)

Thank you to everyone for their suggestions. I am encouraged that so many people have taken time out to comment, and that there haven't been any "start from scratch" comments. I'll be talking to the other players on Thursday and asking them for their opinions. :cool:

They levelled after Session 6 and Session 14 (possibly Session 15) IIRC. But I remember that a couple of those sessions at Level 2 were heavy on role-playing and low on combat encounters, which may have been part of the problem. Our sessions tend to be quite short, as well, which may also be...

I've been following and enjoying the Sandbox thread on this Forum. I was looking at it last night, and it prompted me to ask Mrs meomwt (a player in our group) how she had been enjoying the game I'd been running before Christmas (currently on hiatus and replaced by some heavy-duty RuneQuest 3)...

I don't think sandboxes and plots are necessarily incompatible. But at the early levels, the "plot" should be firmly in the background, with a hint or two here and there (a tome in a lair detailing the Wizard's War 100 years ago, a missing sword wielded by one of the Knights who fought in the...

RuneQuest III had a Vikings supplement, which apparently was very good. I never managed to find a copy, however, so don't have any first-hand experience of it. There was a 2e Campaigns "Green Book" on Vikings, too, IIRC. Again, I don't think it's one I own.

Whilst Cleric is not a bad choice, Favoured Soul might be a bit easier to play.It is basically a spontaneous caster of Divine Magic (as Sorceror is to Wizard), so knowing only a few spells (rather than being over-whelmed by the entire Cleric spell-list) might be a better way of handling things...

I've a memorable one from 2e, when I was DM-ing a long-running Greyhawk campaign. The PC's had ha many encounters with Mighty Eater Of Many Wonderous Things (aka meomwt), a Bronze Dragon from the Abbor-Alz. Unfortunately, a Red Dragon called Sartis was trying to muscle in on his territory...

I think there is a file on BoardGameGeek which lists all the tiles (and numbers thereof) for the main set and all the expansions. I just don't have time to look for it right now. :o

Great clip - seems like my group (and my kitchen! :confused: ) teleported Down Under! Some good role-playing from both players and DM there. Anyone else got a clip on YouTube to share?
