Great timing! I promised my group I'd put together a True20 Pulp genre one-shot. I was thinking something along the lines of shipwrecked on Skull Island. These dinos will fit right in! Thanks.

I started a thread on this topic in February. Here's the link: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=189484

Yes. My posting has been off from what it was this summer, with 4E playing a major part. I participate on ENWorld to get tips on running my games, help others with their games, and finding out what's new (or old) and neat. Debating rule minutia about a game that won't be published for...

Relatively difficult in Big-D. With six million people spread out over 9,000 square miles, the ratio is pretty small. Add to that all the other kinds of fun you can have, then finding a gaming group can be akin to job hunting. You have to look through want ads online, network at Meet-ups and...

I think its something you need to do individually rather than asking the group. How about going out to lunch with a different player once a month or so? They might be willing to open up more if its just you and them, rather than in front of the group.

With one group I GMed, we had a post-game wrap up to discuss rule interpretation. They all agreed that during the game I had the power to make the decision, no questions asked, but the matter could be discuss it in further detail during the wrap-up phase. That kept the arguing down somewhat...

Here's some ideas: * Have someone else GM for a while and play in their game. * Pack some or most of your RPG books away. Read something that has nothing to do with gaming for a while * If no one else will GM, play other kinds of games * If you get the creative bug, write a short story or two...

At work today my department cut out early and saw a couple of movies - "The Reaping" and "Shaun of the Dead." I suggested Shaun, having not seen it before, but hearing it was really good. It was great, but I think I'm going to get stern looks at work tomorrow. When the first "sentance...

Sounds like our two groups could be interchangable at times. When I started with my current group at the pre-game meet-up everyone said they really like the story telling aspects, but once we got started most of them only responded to combat situations. I now feel that RPing seems a little...

I watched the first half of the first season and found other things to watch. Now we have our kid's gymnastics Saturday morning so we miss cartoons all together. The only cartoon we try to watch is Avatar, and so far this season I'm two for five.

Remember Bottlecaps? I think WW made those too and they tasted like different soft drinks - Root Beer & Cola. I'm pretty methodical about my online purchasing. THe only time I felt light-headed buying something online I was unsure of was DCC #35 box set, which, while on sale, was still...

From Mat Smith's September and Beyond preview: October: Dungeon Survival Guide Last month, you got a look at the back cover text from this 64-page illustrated guide to dungeon adventuring. As I mentioned, this book is aimed at novice adventurers interested in the world of fantasy, wizards...

True, but if you look at most kid's picture books in general, you're paying $12 to $20 for anywhere between 30 to 80 full color pages. Here's a ramdon sampling of popular full-color picture books that don't have as many tactile parts as the Ology series: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: 32...

You all are judging this book against other RPG titles. It's not an RPG title, it's a children's book. It's published under the Mirrorstone imprint, which has also given us children book series like the Knights of the Silver Dragon, Dragonlance the New Adventures and Star Sisterz. The book...

Irish Coffee! Oh, I thought we're still talking about favorite drinks. :heh: One cold weather dish I like is Pumpkin Chili, where you cook chili, corn & other fall veggies inside a cleaned out pumpkin in the oven. When you scoop out the chili you also scrape a little pumpkin as well, then...

That's another reason to eventually mark something down. Maybe the original MSRP was too high for the market. I know there's many times I look at an item and think "hey - I'd buy that if it were $X cheaper."

A big factor to me is: why do you and the other's in your group play? If RPGs for you and your buddies is an excuse to get together, drink beer, smoke cigars and tell off-color jokes without the wife and kids around, then having a 14 year old girl joining seems a little strange.

I'm one session away from finishing B4. If you're going to run B4 I recommend using the new intro adventure which appeared in Dungeon 142, Masque of Dreams. Saving party goers from slavers was much more interesting premesis to my players than to just stumble across the pyramid.

No - my assumption is the retailer pays 75% of what it costs MSRP, so they get 25% off. I think in real life it's really about 40% discount, but I wanted the math to be easier. BTW, went by a HPB on the way home and saw the glut of Eberron and other WoTC 3.5 books on their shelves that other...

I started in 1978 with the blue box, so my experience was with B1. Back then there seemed to be less than ten modules on the market - the G and D series and S1. I think the lack of product and poor organization of the rules killed much of my enthusiasm for the game. I'm glad some things...
