    Of gishes and arcane defencers and whatnot: Is 4th ed. language for everyone?

    Personally, I dislike the term "gish" and I tend to use words like "warmage", "spellsword", "blademage", and the elven "bladesinger" to describe that kind of concept. These make more sense to me, they are evocative and flavorful, they conjure specific images that I can utilize to aid players in...

    Who is this person, and why do they not know what a gish is?

    I never heard of the term until a few months ago, and it sounded stupid then (as it still does now.) Apparently it not only means Fighter/Mage, but a specific kind of Fighter/Mage, and not just any class build of that type. I barely recall that it is associated with Githyanki, and since I have...

    What happens when you cast a spell?

    In my campaign, I envision it as such: As the caster reads the spell off, whether holding the scroll or having it float in front of them (all visual effects, it still occupies one hand to do either), the letters glow, enlarge slightly and vanish as their energies are released, causing a nimbus...

    A Merry Christmas to all

    Politically Correct Seasons Greetings One of my favorites... Seriously, I wish you all a Happy Yule, Merry Solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Kwanzaa or whatever other holiday you choose to honor, so given in the spirit of love, peace and good will. Oh, and may the coming New...

    How do you pronounce Drow?

    This thread needs a humor tag on it, because I think the subject has been beaten to death. If it were a horse, there'd be a smoking set of horseshoes where the dead horse was ridden so hard into the ground that even the hooves are gone. I'm pretty sure we all know the official pronunciation...

    Notes from a Savage Worlds fantasy campaign (updated with 05/28/08 session notes!)...

    Yes, for the arrow trap, you are quite correct. Forgive, as I am new to Savage Worlds and am still learning. :) The magic system is working out quite well, but be prepared not to have the diversity you may be used to with D&D. That being said, you can generally translate the big attack/combat...

    Notes from a Savage Worlds fantasy campaign (updated with 05/28/08 session notes!)...

    Good Morning, All: Due to some last minute work issues, I had to skip last week's game. Fortunately, I was able to pick back up with the campaign last session. Overall, the session was mostly roleplay oriented, but I got to drop a lot of background stuff of the players so that they could get a...

    GENCON 2008 - Who's Going?

    I think I could do a Tuesday arrival date, if it would help get some good game on before the Con... I'm probably still coming back on Sunday, though, unless I'm rolling in a lot more money than I'm planning on having. So, what's this about an ENWorld Con? Will there be one here in the US, or...

    GENCON 2008 - Who's Going?

    I'll be going, unless something radical happens. I already have the time off, and am putting money away each month in preparation. Definitely looking forward to seeing people from the boards while I'm there, and hopefully getting in a game or two. :) See Ya There, Flynn

    WotC Miniatures Promo

    Nice! If I didn't already have both dragons, I'd be getting them this year for the Holidays. That's a good offer, I think. With Regards, Flynn

    Notes from a Savage Worlds fantasy campaign (updated with 05/28/08 session notes!)...

    Exactly. I knew the details from my notes, so I didn't even translate that part of the stat block. It stands to reason that, since certain portions are not game mechanic-related, they would translate across the board equally assuming the costs are the same in the milieu as they would be under...

    Building Your Own Gaming Table?

    I have plans to eventually convert the two-car garage into a game room if we don't move into a house with a reserved game room, so I feel your pain, Wulf. :) When I start that project, there will definitely be another thread, but that's a few years down the road. With Regards, Flynn

    SWSE as Sword and Sorcery

    :) I can see your point, but I have to admit that I went with it because of the name recognition I had built up over here on the ENWorld thread where we had been discussing it over the last few months. If you have the chance to check Fantasy Concepts out, please let me know what you think...

    [BFRPG] The Isle of Impending Doom

    Ape-men, rock apes, girallon, and other killer primates are a good addition to a prehistoric jungle scene. Add in killer plants of various kinds, some monstrous spiders (colored emerald green and called jungle spiders for flavor), and an aboriginal tribe or two, and you've got yourself a great...
