    FFG Campaign and Session Resources

    No, not really - other than a collection of sites. I know FFG is a decent spot to start but I've actually found more of value on the surface in this thread than I did digging around over there.

    D&D 5E (2014) MUSING: An Evergreen, static Fifth Edition...

    While I'd like a little bit more in the way of publications from WotC (more campaign settings, less player *stuff* because I'm a GM 99% of the time...and lazy) I would be content with continuing to get the current output from them. I have found 5e really easy to run for my group and they have...

    FFG Campaign and Session Resources

    Are there any other resources floating out there? I'm looking to collect as much as possible for a possible EotE campaign that I'll run at home for my group (XP given for the earlier resources) and wonder if anyone has stumbled upon any other sites and/or resources floating about on the interwebz.

    D&D 5E (2014) How many gamers ACTUALLY play in AL?

    I was a member of the RPGA for a number of years and was really into the idea of playing in a Living campaign, be it Greyhawk, FR, or Eberron (my personal favorite). Alas, I have yet to ever play in a public setting, be it a convention, FLGS or otherwise. There are four gaming stores within 35...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dealing with a trouble player and a major blow up

    I do this, but only if it's figuratively a life or death encounter. Otherwise I have a standing rule at the table that allows for rules discussion after the session. I don't want to slow the game down with argument or perspectives in the middle of the action, and my players (after experiencing...

    D&D 5E (2014) What would be your ideal 5E yearly product output?

    For me, I'd like to see more in the way of campaign settings. I almost feel ashamed to admit that I enjoy reading and rely heavily upon them in my games, but there it is. Bring on a fresh Forgotten Realms, an Eberron, Dark Sun and all the others! But make them BIG. I wouldn't mind paying 50...

    D&D 5E (2014) Enhancing "Hoard of the Dragon Queen" (Practical stuff to try at your table!)

    As I'm preparing Episode 4: On the Road for my group I wanted to drop a note that this episode seems to be the most polarizing (some love, a lot hate) of all of them so far. I have been reading across multiple forums and found that a lot of GMs dislike this as it's almost two months of in-game...

    D&D 5E (2014) Theatre of the Mind or Miniatures?

    I have used both over the years and personally prefer miniatures along with my group of players; however, I've always been fascinated with TotM and wanted to run a game using nothing but that. I just can't seem to be able to keep up with positions and so forth to be able to do it with any...

    The Ultimate Tabletop RPG Room Wish List

    Hi all! Just a quick update for my group's gaming room and where we are currently with the project - Sound system - Check! Fridge - Check! Wall o'Bookshelves - Check! Soundproofing - Sort of...we decided on using a detached two-car garage, which while addressing the initial concern of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dealing with a trouble player and a major blow up

    That's a true and valid point (perhaps we should brag more on our players - positive reinforcement and such :) ). However, it seems like there's a disproportionate number of unhappy folks in our little hobby.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dealing with a trouble player and a major blow up

    I too am interested to see what happened in this week's episode...ahem...the ongoing drama...AHEM...man, I hope it worked out okay. But seriously - I know that I've read a hundred threads about problematic players/GMs if I've read a single one. Does it seem that our hobby has more than it's...

    D&D 5E (2014) My Session 0 notes. How do YOU handle it?

    My zero-sessions are typically not generated toward providing knowledge for the players, although I will answer any questions that they may have about the setting, house rules or other points. I guess this is a bit of an unfair advantage in this aspect as I have been GM'ing/playing with the same...

    Anybody like/play The World of Darkness?

    One of my very first RPG experiences (as a player) was with the old VtM that was GM'ed by a friend of mine while I was in the military. We played every Saturday night for almost 3 straight months, eventually ending the campaign in an epic battle between three different vampires from three...

    A New DRAGON+?

    I'm living in the same nightmare as you, friend. I have completed WotC's survey a number of times, with my #1 complaint being difficulty finding what I'm looking for. It's a visually appealing one-stop shop...except I can't find what I'm looking for and go elsewhere to try to find it! (Like...

    Data map of the RPG Community

    I didn't even know Myth-Weavers existed until this forum. As the community over at P&PG has become (relatively) inactive I know that a lot of members have moved on to other communities in an attempt to continue discussions, etc. My activity (as a snapshot): Myth-Weavers EnWorld P&PG D&D...

    How big is your RPG collection?

    And with that...I have become the most powerful necrothreadmancer in the WORLD!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    How big is your RPG collection?

    My collection is right at the medium/large range (just over 100 items) in physical books and box sets. Granted, I've only been playing/collecting since 2000 with D&D 3.0 and I've lost a good number of items over the years. Primarily my physical collection consists of D&D 3.5 items, with 4e and...

    Troubleshooting - Community Thread Moderation Issues

    Morrus - Any update since the last post (4/26/15)? As it stands currently I cannot delete forum threads within my community game or allow others to post. I tried to adjust the settings to allow members to post without moderation but for whatever reason it didn't take. Thanks for the help!

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons and Dragons and the RPG Stigma

    Yours too? My parents fell victim to the 1980s "D&D is Satanic" panic and so anything having to do with it was inherently evil and must be destroyed. Fortunately my mom is not so prideful not to laugh at herself about it; however, to this day when she comes over she still asks me if I'm playing...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favorite race/class combination?

    Dwarf cleric - the grumpy healer who, while not the *nicest* person to be around (gruff, generally no-nonsense) he will absolutely put himself at risk to keep the party on their feet, wading directly into melee if necessary (probably not the *smartest* either...)
