    Why is it so hard to get people together to play?

    This is why me and my friend play D&D in one on one groups. We can never get a reliable 3rd or 4th, much less a 5th. We still invite friends to play when they can, but the stories center around our characters. If we find a reliable person to join in, then we shall add that person. With just us...

    "Gateway Drug"

    I'm 26 and started with 2nd Edition AD&D, as did most of my friends. I actually am having trouble converting them away from Thaco, lol.

    Is D&D Insider worth it?

    Well, I don't plan on buying any of the essentials stuff. I have the core books, PHB2, couple of the power books, couple of setting books and several of the adventures. Now that I have subscribed (for one month), I have enough in the character generator to keep me satisfied for years. I also...

    Is D&D Insider worth it?

    Well, thanks to you guys I went and downloaded the character creation demo. It is fantastic, but like said above, it only goes to level 3. Once i get home, I'm going to subscribe for 1 month and see how I like it. Thanks for the input everyone, I knew I'd get the info I needed on here. Nik

    Is D&D Insider worth it?

    Okay, so I can basically subscribe for one month, download the character generator, download all the pdfs, and still keep both without having to subscribe for another month? If that is the case, I might give it a try this month. Also is there a mapping program with it? I used to have CC2, but...

    Is D&D Insider worth it?

    Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is D&D Insider worth the purchase? I used to subscribe to Dragon and Dungeon Magazines, but that was back when they were in print. I have a hard time not having a printed copy in my hand. I don't make my own adventures usually, so not having Dungeon...

    Keep on Shadowfell...how long?

    I am DMing Keep on the Shadowfell right now for one player. He controls two characters and there is one NPC. The first four hour session was only his second time playing 4th edition and he took out all the way to the kobold layer and beat them, finding out more about Kalarel at the Keep in the...

    Help me flesh out my idea for a campaign world...

    My first thoughts were to put them in that kind of situation as well. I'm thinking of using Keep on the Shadowfell as a rival goblin tribe going after the goblins and elves.

    Pay to Play at FLGS?

    I think you should all count yourself lucky you have a FLGS. I've never walked into a public building and seen people playing rpgs. CCGs, yes, but not rpgs.

    What kind of encounters can I throw at a solo character?

    The PC, after killing a couple of goblins, made friends with a goblin and helped to rescue his family. So the PC had two goblin warriors helping him through the first encounters I had set up. He dropped to -1 once, and a goblin warrior stabilized him. After the combat part of the session, me...

    Help me flesh out my idea for a campaign world...

    Well the PC did end up befriending a goblin. Now a settlement is forming that has approx 300 elves and 50 goblins. Anyone want to throw out thoughts on how this could work in the long run?

    Help me flesh out my idea for a campaign world...

    Well I have the first session for a few hours tonight. The very first encounter could will alter how everything in the setting will start to look like. He will be trapped underground, and when he frees himself, he stumbles upon three goblins, trying to uncover rumble that has collapsed a...

    What kind of encounters can I throw at a solo character?

    I made a few encounters last night that should work. His first encounter could actually change the course of the entire setting. The first encounter is with a goblin warrior and two minions trying to dig through to noncombat goblins stuck from a collapsed ceiling. He can potentially help the...

    What kind of encounters can I throw at a solo character?

    I will be DMing my first solo tabletop game. The character is going to start at level 1, and figure he will reach level 2 very quickly. I plan on giving plenty of roleplaying experience, especially at first so that he can get into some more complex battles if needed. This is also the first time...

    Help me flesh out my idea for a campaign world...

    I am thinking of something similar. A cataclysmic event destroys any and all civilizations. Those that survived were not in even the smallest of village or largest of city. The population of all races is utterly annihilated. Those that survived were those wandering alone, the adventurers. What I...

    Help me flesh out my idea for a campaign world...

    Using that explanation, they would spontaneously travel at random times. I want a small, concrete area of a world that the player himself helps to build. Thanks for the link, but it didn't help with any of my questions, just added more questions. Perhaps the campaign could be plague driven...

    Help me flesh out my idea for a campaign world...

    Me and a buddy of mine have not played in a table top game in a very long time, mainly PBP in the last few years. We talked it over, and we want to give a 1 on 1 table top game a go. If we enjoy it, we will add more players that can work around our schedule. I will be the DM. Here is the kicker...

    Recruiting for Scepter Tower of Spellgard PBP

    The New World Follow the link. The game will be on those boards because it seems to cluttered here. The ads on the forums will be gone once play starts up.
