    Woodbridge VA - Easy going game looking for players

    To tell the truth we haven't totally decided what we are going to play so it is still up in the air. Obviously if you join up you'll have a vote in what we play. One thing we have agreed on is that we'll have two games running and rotate between them every 3 months or so. That way the DM's...

    Playing without a tank

    As soon as the Druid can Wild Shape into a bear you'll have your tank. Don't forget that the Sorcerer and Druid both can summon plenty of Meat Shields. The Druid can swap any spell out for a Summon Nature's Ally on the fly. I wouldn't worry. In a game I played just over a year ago my druid...

    How do you prefer your WITCH?

    I voted other... I like the Witch class from Arcana Evolved. :)

    Tips and Tricks to speed up gameplay.

    I've got a great one... Not arguing a rule with the gamemaster until after the game. :]

    [Midnight] Defeating the Shadow

    Actually I was just thinking, I'd be kind of neat to run an Epic Midnight campaign where the PCs are Epic Level heros who submitted to being turned to stone to come back at a later time to stage a guerilla war against Izrador when Epic heros are needed most. Hmmmm... might have to give some...

    [Midnight] Defeating the Shadow

    Ancestral Bladebearer is a PrC in Midnight. The player started out as a Wildlander (non-magical Ranger basic class in Midnight). When the party found the undead city he recovered a covenant magical sword that had belonged to his family in ages past. The Ancestral Bladebearer PrC then enhances...

    [Midnight] Defeating the Shadow

    Here are a couple options that I came up with to make Midnight not quite so bleak and to provide hope to the party: 1) The Sleeping Army: Deep within the Kaladrun mountains a vast chamber was created. A mighty army was sent into the chamber and was subsequently voluntarily turned into stone to...

    [Midnight] Defeating the Shadow

    Since the mirrors collect ambient magic and transfer it to Izrador maybe the LOTR way of beating Izrador is to drive all magic out of the world and thus "starve" Izrador into submission. :)

    What Gaming Stuff Are You Getting/Giving For Christmas?

    If I manage to get together a new gaming group I'll probably pick up Tac-Tiles and retire my old Battlemat.

    Commuting to a game

    Wow! By looking at the distances some people are willing to drive and the amount of time they are willing to spend in their cars I feel somewhat silly complaining about a 1+ hour commute into DC. :)

    Commuting to a game

    Do you find that a commute defies your efforts to find a game or other players? Just how far are you willing to drive (milage one way) or how much time are you willing to spend in your car (traffic time) to get to a game? Personally I live to the south of Washington DC in Woodbridge VA. It...

    Do only DMs like rules lite systems?

    As a DM I prefer Castles & Crusades and other rules-lite systems. I can spend more prep time on story and less time statting out NPCs. As a Player I prefer more rules heavy systems like D&D 3.5. More rules usually means more options. In C&C a Fighter is a Fighter and every fighter will have...

    Poisons in D&D

    You really don't need rules because published rules can't cover every setting. The price for anything will be governed by the setting. What is the relative wealth of the setting? Wealthier settings would have inflated prices on pretty much everything because even the average commoner has cash...

    Mooks - a good idea?

    Your reasons for using mooks sound a lot like the reasons I had for switching to Castles & Crusades. No more skills and no more feats... prep time dropped by roughly 80%

    Looking for a game in the DC area

    I'm down in Woodbridge and am available Friday or Saturday nights. On Friday nights I could get another player. There is a Game Parlor FLGS down here that you could meet up with other gamers at. We could also play there as a neutral location but they are only open til 10pm I believe. There...

    What to do now?

    Funny! Actually I plan on selling quite a bit of my stuff on E-Bay. Mostly setting books & boxed sets and games that almost nobody plays anymore. I'll keep a few books to introduce my son to roleplaying when he gets old enough (my old Erol Otus cover basic and expert sets, Castles & Crusades...

    Does this setting exist?

    Check out Midnight. If I had a group I'd consider running it with RoleMaster or MERP rather than D&D. It is a great setting regardless of the system.

    What to do now?

    If the game was on Friday evening I'd be up for it (I've played C&C). I get up at 4:30 am on weekdays so the Monday and Thursday night games wouldn't work. Sundays I'm out with my wife and my boy doing family stuff so that wouldn't work. :(
