After this game Gabe gave DMing a try, and is now running a campaign. He posts about it periodically, and maintains a campaign wiki on Obsidian Portal. He's mentioned that listening to the podcasts, he winces at some of his newb mistakes. The other players have also now have quite a bit more...

:lol:

Having played computer and tabletop games since 1st grade, I've seen (and imagined) thousands of fantastical places. You'd think that the impact of seeing photos of real-world places would be diminished, then. Wrong! These photos are no less majestic, and stand just as tall as Minas Tirith...

I wonder why no one's made a mod based on an existing, finished full-featured character visualizer, such as that which can be found in Oblivion or Mount & Blade. Seems like you can simply add a screen-cap & print utility, and you'd be done.

And here's the link to the full page, which includes the description, an intro to Acquisitions, Incorporated and its newest employee, and the custom art that accompanies this particular podcost: D&D Podcast: Penny Arcade/PvP #1 (February 2009). Just wanted to post the full link because the...

I vastly prefer the content in digital form. Easier to read, easier to store, easier to access. That content is available to me wherever there's a computer and Internet connection, so: pretty much everywhere. What annoys me is that the content of Dragon and Dungeon is still in "magazine issue"...

The Lawyer class is broken, and should be banned.

I think that's a fundamentally flawed system. The point of Live Action is that it's live. You're actually *doing* whatever it is your character is doing. If you're just going to pretend to be a good swordfighter, and don't want to invest any time in learning how to fight, then you may as well...

Belkar is great. My favorite Belkar strip is the wandering gnome merchant.

OOTS is so great. And hey, a nod to 4E's Encounter powers!

Oh, and speaking of american-style LARP.... http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/248560-holy-cow.html

Skill in Boffer combat ramps up very, very quickly. If the new players are at all athletic, they'll pick up a reasonable amount of skill in no time. And I see nothing wrong with skilled fighters being represented in-game as "skilled fighters". @ pawsplay: totally agree. In the huge LARP I...

Good idea! But, er... how do I do that? Oh! And I hereby grant you permission to use your moderator powers to change the title. :)

I've played NERO, SOLAR, Amtgard, Curious Pastimes (a 2,000+ person event UK LARP similar to Maelstrom), and Mind's Eye Theater (in the US and London). Of those, I found the UK larp to be the best. The rules were dead simple, and the accents were great. :) Seriously though, the best part...

This is... this is the best thing ever. For many reasons. YouTube - Red Fang "Prehistoric Dog" (high quality feature)

Decanter of Endless Water Foldable Boat Feather Token: Tree Ring of the Ram

Food is wonderful for establishing mood, and getting players to immerse themselves in a game or world. The few times I've made the effort to bring session-specific food, the results have been fantastic. I remember a seafaring Al Qadim campaign, where the first session began with a table of...

Good find, Wulf! Honestly, he sounds like a smart guy. And I'm pleasantly surprised that he's a gamer and a Star Wars nerd. And he knows how to make things happen in Hollywood, apparently. Who knows? Maybe with him at the reins, we'll finally get a decent D&D movie.

First: welcome, Mike Selinker, to ENWorld! Second: while the layoff is terrible, I'm really looking forward to what an independent JoT will create. He is a brilliant and amazing man.

Layoffs suck, but let's not make this into more than it is. Turnover and new talent is generally healthy for a company, particularly for companies that depend on new ideas and innovation. If TSR/WotC had never hired new talent, we wouldn't have had the products we've enjoyed over the years...
