Good stuff. That is pretty much the approach I have taken as well. In fact, this current Epic Game is my second in the same setting. The previous characters are gods and legends and all that. You and I should compare notes sometimes.

Running an Epic Level campaign (note the operative word here: Campaign) is difficult to say the least when you are trying to be focused about it. One of my current campaigns has been running since 3.0 hit the shelves back in 2000 and the players have their characters almost to 33rd level by...

I dont know that I would want an entire book about Neutrality. The politics of indecision can only hold my attention for so long. I would, however, like to see write ups about the Elder Elementals and their princes plus discussions of various jinn sovereign organizations like was done for the...

Thank you Joe for keeping the bar set high. I really am enjoying the work you guys are doing over there. I cannot wait to see what the next product is going to be. I am sure, if you keep up the pace, it is going to be wonderful.

I just picked up Magical Soceity: Ecology and Culture yesterday. This book is three different stacks of sweet! For any DM that enjoys alot of 'realism' in their world building, this book is for you. It reminds me alot of the old World Builders Guidebook put out by TSR/WoTC several years ago...

yes to all EXCEPT shining south. I don't play forgotten realms

Or maybe, just MAYBE, there is more than one demographic that is being targeted by WoTC. I for one will buy it. Not because I feel compelled to buy everything that comes out of WoTC's shop, but because I think it is cool. I dont give a stack of rat poo if it is ever 'worth something'. I just...

Last year I brought 3 or 4 people. We will not be attending this year.

both Though I prefer to roll first, then tailor fit.

If this link doesn't get you anywhere send me an email with Jolly Rogers in the subject line. I am good friends with 4 members of this band, in fact 3 of them are regulars in my games. They have a really good suite of pirate music, their most recent album of all original material was just...

I sit corrected. I guess my memory came from having heard about the Tri Tac episode before the SJG episode. Aah well. Anyway, I still think it would be seventeen different kinds of cool for them to do d20 versions of Fringeworthy and Bureau 13. Stargate is not a suitable replacement for FW...

That's too bad. Yeah, Tri-Tac was lightyears ahead of other companies. They were even being raided by the Secret Service before Steve Jackson made it cool IIRC! I would love to see d20 versions of Fringeworthy and Bureau 13. I remember playing both of these games back in the early to mid...

I run three games. 2 of them purely for fun, the other I get paid for. For my personal games, one has been running since 2000 so it pretty much plans itself at this point. I have a 30+ page Story Bible that outlines all the plots and subplots I have running so I just review ti once ro twice...

How about a summary of the clues for those of us who cannot log on here everyday and sometimes miss a post or two?

This was timely. I saw Wildscape in my FLGS over the weekend and was curious as to how it compared to Wilds (which was okay in my book). Portals, Dungeoncraft, and especially Cityworks were all high quality publications IMHO. Any odds that the table of contents is actually useful? ;)

This is something that I have often thought about using! Thank you for reminding me... I have always wanted to begin an entire campaign that way, just sit them down and roll initiative.

Actually Scott, those are the THREE greatest worlds next to Novare (my campaign world). I have to agree though, I would have much rather seen a massive overhaul of an existing setting, preferrably Greyhawk. If for no other reason than to have all the old traditionalists come out of the...

I have to say that I am surprised by many of the responses to this, there are alot of you that are expressing some of the same opinions that I have voiced over the years. Thanks for sounding off on this folks!

I'll bite as well (bored at work today) My current longest running game began in December of 2000 and the PC's were not quite 1st level. I "levelled" them up to first over the course of 3 sessions. An interesting attempt to recapture the 0 Level rules, I wouldn't advise it. Anyway, the...

I also use the season/episode approach. I have a longer season though, about 25 - 36 episodes. I model ALOT of the campaign off of this structure. I even keep a campaign bible (similar to a series bible) that outlines the pacing and flow of the game on an episode by episode basis. I typically...
