    How does Savage Worlds play?

    I've been playing it for a few weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. It has a more mechanical focus on the non-combat side of gaming, compared to D&D. Obviously, the amount of rp-ing you do is down to you and your group, but in SW if you want to play an obese, cowardly mage you can do so and...

    How Do You Let The Players Be Cool?

    Really like this comment - will bring it up at my next game! For me, it comes back to the Say Yes principle. Example: last week, D&D 4e game, we were fighting a Tiefling cook in a kitchen (do NOT ask what that red stuff boiling away in the cauldron was...). I asked if my PC could jump on a...

    Mr. Noah does not play World of Warcraft

    Mr Noah once rolled a natural 20, and celebrated so loudly it did 4d6 sonic damage... ...to people in the next State.

    The Swordlands - updated 28th May; The Hanged Man

    Iben Falls The giant lizards proved to be eager and unpredictable mounts. One by one the adventurers spurred their hissing beasts out of the gaping window, lunging into the darkness, and down the sheer rockface of the Drow city. Far below, the vortex of clouds broiled and swirled, like a...

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    I'm going to be very specific. My only objection to this whole thing is that a company A asked another company B to edit posts in their forum, and threatened legal action if they didn't. I don't think any company has the right to ask another company to do that. I may be legally wrong. I do...

    Lone Wolf sends Cease & Desist letters to anyone using the term 'Army Builder'

    ENWorld haz teh funnies. :) When I played WH40K, I used to enjoy putting together imaginary lists of mini's I'd like to buy, so that I could plan out future purchases (which never came to anything). This would, of course, have made me an ARMY builder at the time. Hey, who's up for a .sig...

    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    Full. Of. Awesome. So, what spells did Zeg cast during that Time Stop, then? I can only assume he killed Ernie and Reanimated him, all during the spell. Ouch. Excellent dialogue as usual, particularly Dranko ("Not helping!") and Zeg ("At least my organs for something interesting!"). Now the...

    Requesting a Favour - Mystic Theurge

    Note (reposted from edit in first post): I've decided to make the character a Mystic Theurge. Before everyone starts talking about how it's a bad idea, please note the players are far from being optimisers or powergamers, so I don't think the power loss will be too bad. I'm also going to take...

    Requesting a Favour - Mystic Theurge

    Caster / healer / buffer (in that order). There is plenty of arcane & psionic firepower in the group already, so the ability to mess with the enemy in ways other than damage would be a good thing, alongside decent healing abilities and some short-term buffs. Looking at the d20 SRD it's all...

    Requesting a Favour - Mystic Theurge

    Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. Deity is Correllon, definitely good-aligned. :) Would like to take Good as a domain, if possible, but I can't remember what domains he has. Can someone also remind me of the amount of starting money I get?

    Requesting a Favour - Mystic Theurge

    I'm going to be playing in a D&D 3rd edition game on Sunday, slightly unexpectedly. I've been told to bring a 10th level character, and I'd like to bring my old Elven Cleric. And he wasn't an Archer Cleric, either, no matter how tempting it is to stat one out just to show me how good they are...

    Going to GenCon Indy for the first time

    That's what I was hoping for. I reckon I can manage to book out my time with unpaid games via ENWorld. Woohoo! A Hive meeting! FANTASTIC! Will be wonderful to meet you. What hotel? I haven't booked mine yet, nor my flight, but I'll get on it soon.

    Going to GenCon Indy for the first time

    Attending the Ennies - on the list. Volunteering at the Ennies booth - on the list, and as you said it'd be a great way of meeting people. Playing in ENWorld games - very, very much on the list, for many reasons not least of which is that it'd be free, as opposed to the paid games. ;) If I...

    I really want to play...

    I still have a wish to play a genuinely fanatical religious character - not in terms of unpleasantly ramming it down other peoples throats, but in terms of playing them well enough that other characters take him seriously. A lot of RPGs, IMO, treat religious characters with a big "Yeah...

    When the Session goes Pear Shaped

    I quite liked your diceless mass battle system, if it's the same one we're talking about. But the ending of Necropolis was just appalling - not your fault, by any means, but appalling. For my own story, I realised half-way through a session that I'd tried to completely railroad the group in a...
