    Into The Mystic (4E) -- Please Help Shine A (Point of) Light!

    Shayuri, I'm currently trying to figure out what setting to set 2 PbP games for 4E in. Right now I'm considering using Ildur! There are two other settings that I've seen and liked but do not know how they stand. I have a feeling I may end up seeing if I can get several of you to combine settings...

    Simulationist Question on PoL

    I can understand that! No offense taken. Btw, 13th warrior was a great movie. But i can't recall any specifics as to whether it was a good example or not

    D&D 4E The Search for a 4E Campaign Setting (Or the Creation there of...)

    I'm itching to make something so decided to create something that can easily be added to any game world [I think]. It's influenced by a chance, random idea from a post I made for DMMO's game. I feel this is a good sample of my writing style. It presents the type of detail I like to get into...

    Into The Mystic (4E) -- Please Help Shine A (Point of) Light!

    I'm glad I could be useful. I must say, Shayuri you are a great writer! DMMo your setting is taking some really nifty precedents that I like. Darn you for making it even more difficult to choose a place to alight my 4E games! I figured it would be easy since I'm pretty picky but your world is...

    Simulationist Question on PoL

    You know not only did I start the thread but tried to be kind about telling that person to go away. I dislike having to say it which is why I include it at the beginning of many of my threads. And as for where I got the data Agriculture and as a note, Medieval demographics made easy is such a...

    Simulationist Question on PoL

    there's a distinct note on the first post to all mentions of those who tell us to leave well enough be to not bother entering. Please take your opinion elsewhere. As a side note, I got bored and did some research into food/subsistence farming. It seems that 100 good farmers with a mere 27...

    Into The Mystic (4E) -- Please Help Shine A (Point of) Light!

    I like where you're going with this. I hope to be able to help a little: For your monotheistic religion: Several symbols immediately jump to mind depending on the direction you want it to move in. 1) Directed away from an elitist perspective of the clergy: Perhaps the pagan clerics are...

    D&D 4E The Search for a 4E Campaign Setting (Or the Creation there of...)

    Nightwing--I've never heard of the Exiles games, sorry. I didn't discover computer games until I was in high school. Bold or Stupid: I'm glad you liked what you saw! I was thinking of shrinking it to where each province is a much smaller area, perhaps 2-3 villages at most instead of the 3,000...

    D&D 4E The Search for a 4E Campaign Setting (Or the Creation there of...)

    I suppose as par for the course I should supply some of my own writing here. this is the site for the 4E setting I began and plan to rip parts from for whatever CS i end up joining. Comments on stuff you would like to see/would be willing to use would be great in helping out! The areas that are...

    D&D 4E The Search for a 4E Campaign Setting (Or the Creation there of...)

    From what I read on the harvestlands site it looks promising. A couple of quick questions though: 1) Do you have plans to include eladrin, feywild/shadowfell, shifter/warforged and other races to the game? 2) Would one player group's (of the major people involved in the setting at least)...

    D&D 4E The Search for a 4E Campaign Setting (Or the Creation there of...)

    Bold or Stupid--I really like this! Main points of Like: 1) Not too much detail yet 2) Interesting Power/race dynamics. Notes: I'm a bit of a simulationist so exact sizes of things, how many farms/supporters are needed to maintain a city of X size and such are all within my favored domain when...

    D&D 4E The Search for a 4E Campaign Setting (Or the Creation there of...)

    Come May, the fourth edition books come out (I think?) Come sometime in May I will be beginning one, possibly two PbP games and come June will be beginning a face-to-face game when I return to my home country. I began to create a campaign setting using the PoL ideas spread throughout EN worlds...

    Simulationist Question on PoL

    Wow thanks for all the great advice. I made a short checklist of sorts regarding posts that had things I'd love to implement in my game. Whoever mentioned armored caravans as a sort of PoL gave me a great idea for this small group of merchants/hunters/gatherers who travel from area to area and...

    Simulationist Question on PoL

    Vymair--on weapons/armor. With the need for iron I was worried less about the PC's wantign weapons and more with the need for regular implements. Horseshoes, spades, axes, saws and not to mention pots, pans and other such are all needed daily. I know nothing about farming or cutting lumber but...

    Simulationist Question on PoL

    Note: This is really a sometimes simulationist's perspective. I intend no offense to anyone and request not to be hailed with numerous responses of 'Just ignore it, it's a game' answers. Thank you! So first of all let me say I love the darker look of official D&D campaign fluff with the whole...

    To the Noble Born. (finished)

    I've been away for the past week and will be leaving again in a few days for a month. As such I won't be able to continue any of the Pbp games I've been involved in. Although i must say that this was the most interesting one and perhaps the only one that I'd love to rejoin when I come back from...

    A dwarf in time- OOC

    I was away this past week and will be leaving again in a few days on a semi-unplanned travel trip. It will last a month and I may not have time to play any games weeks later. So I must respectfully withdraw from the game. I enjoyed the little time I was able to play and wish the rest of you good...

    Arabesu's Eyes of the Lich Queen, w/ Boons! - OOC

    I've been away for the past week and will be leaving again in a few days for a month. So I am sorry to say that I won't be able to continue the game. I'm really sorry and hope I don't piss anyone off by withdrawing. I simply can't pass up traveling so far and long for such a low price. Arabesu...

    Burning Heretics OOC

    Hello, I am back. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to keep these two games up. I am not available to play long enough and will be leaving in another two days for a month. I doubt I'll have internet since I'll be traveling computer-less through Paris, Madrid and Brussels. It's not quite...

    Round 7 Heavily wounded, the undead begins to defend itself and move backwards. However, Smoothedcrest rushes forward and pushed it with his shield while tripping it up with his sword. It is pushed violently backwards into the wagon, which due to a broken axle is stuck fast against a nearby...
