    Burned Circle - OOC Thread

    I think sometimes when I visit the thread on ENWorld it doesn't register that I opened the page, and it won't send another email until you visit the page. That's my theory at least.

    Yeah, it seems like a problem. I've had it as well ever since the hacking of the site.

    Burned Circle - ThirdWizard's Dresden Files Game

    Fizzy licks his lips at the thought of a large pizza all to himself, his eyes growing to saucers. The little guy starts pacing back and forth. Well, buzzing and hovering back and forth about four feet off the ground. "Ghouls, huh? No problem, no problem. I've got some guys for that..." He...

    Dread

    Which is also a pretty fun game! One of my favorite PCs was a Chill character.

    "Pizza!" The little guy's wings speed up a notch and he rises a bit, his eyes level with Logan's. He licks his lips and a little bit of drool escapes from the side of his mouth, which he ignores, or maybe doesn't even notice. "Yes yes yes. I always liked you, you know. No matter what those malk...

    Nice roll! FYI, will be on a backpacking trip for Memorial Day Weekend and not available again until Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning.

    The back lot of the pizzeria connects to several other shops, an insurance agency, a bakery, and a thrift store, all nestled into a little corner together. They share a dumpster that smells like the city sanitation workers must have forgotten about it a couple of months back. But, it's solitary...

    Dragonwriter give me a Contacts check. It needs to be at least Good. Also, I'm going to compel your aspect PISSED OFF WINTER'S LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES if your contacts roll is a success. Word gets around the faerie community, and through no fault of your own it could easily get back to Winter...

    The closest nearby pizzeria is a small mom and pop shop on the edge of downtown. It's getting late, and ask you walk in the kid at the register gives you a pair of finely rolled eyes, as you've arrived about five minutes before closing. Tough luck for him. The inside is dimly lit, with pictures...

    Game Design 108: Realism vs. Fun

    Well sure. I guess I was being a bit too generalistic. In regards to the original post, it seems to consider abstract rules at odds with whatever he means "realism" to be, so I would venture to say that his use of the term matches my preconceived notions of how it is usually used. That is...

    FYI guys, keep going, but if Bluedevil doesn't respond by the time you guys make it to the cemetery, I'm going to auto-compel his MISSING IN ACTION aspect to gracefully-as-possible remove him from the next scene. I've sent him a PM, so hopefully he'll not miss out! I'll do what I can to keep...

    Game Design 108: Realism vs. Fun

    Completely disagree. What they usually seem to mean, in my experience, is "rules describing how things work." With rules relating from anything to how to hit someone with a sword to describing how an economy works. Very internally consistent/genre consistent rule systems that aren't descriptive...

    As Officer Manny starts to direct traffic around the wrecks, more sirens are heard coming closer. Pretty soon an ambulance and a tow truck arrive, allowing traffic to start moving, although a few daring individuals took a shortcut through some poor family's petunia garden while the officer's...

    I'm very sorry guys. I've been busy, and I keep thinking that I'll get back to the game real soon, and I just need to do this one more thing and then I'll definately get back into it. But, of course I haven't been. Well, if you're all willing to forgive me and give the game a second chance...

    Hey guys, sorry for the silence here for so long. I'm a software dev and the last two weeks three projects just happened to become shippable at the same time, and of course I'm lead on one, and co-lead on another, and helping with the third. Then my boss took a week vacation and I'm taking over...

    Talk to me about Planescape factions

    I love the factions. They're brilliant. A setting as expansive as Planescape could have a tendency to cause player as well as DM paralysis with regard to what to do with it. But, the factions ground the players, they give them a connection to the world that serves to link them to it, to give...

    At this point, the sun has fallen behind the horizon and the cemetery is layered in shadow. For people who aren't keen on the supernatural, it can be a spooky place. For people who know that sometimes spooks are real, it's a really spooky place. This is the oldest cemetery in Atlanta, dating...

    Buying off the compel, we'll say Juno got cut off due to a wreck ahead and got caught in traffic. You're stuck for the moment, with some cars ahead of you and behind you making any progress in the chase over. They'll clear out in a few minutes. The police want to have a word with you. They're...
