    Gamers Who No Longer Have Time to Game

    In fact that's how I run my current 3.5e chat-based game; combat-light and roleplay-heavy with an emphasis on story over stats. "When I was your age, television was called books." - The Princess Bride. I get loads of inspiration for my undersea game from the likes of NatGeo and Discovery...

    If you like Doctor Who and D&D...

    Chronomancy is a major influence in my current campaign, also set in the World of Greyhawk. The undersea adventure centers around three “Mysterious Places”; Turucambi, The Sinking Isle, and the Jungle of Lost Ships. The party seeks to thwart the plans of the blackwater hag Diadema, who wishes to...

    Gamers Who No Longer Have Time to Game

    I recently posted HERE about how many hours a week I “work” on my gaming hobby. I also mentioned that I have a wife, 7 kids, job, hobby farm, and a few hundred gallons in saltwater aquariums to fill up the rest of my time when I am not gaming. Did I mention that my last face-to-face session of...

    How many hours a day do you spend on RPGs?

    Let's see.. My Sunday game is 3 hours in length. I spend an hour or so writing a recap of the prior week's session and looking for topical information to put in the weekly blog post. I may spend 30+ minutes prepping for the game, as I prefer to DM on-the-fly with a handful of notes and a cold...

    Preparations for Super Bowl XLVI?

    Before my online game at 9pm, I will be walking in the woods attempting to spot this superb owl everyone keeps talking about. Last year I finally broke the cycle of enduring the football to catch the commercials. It's much easier to watch them back-to-back the next day on YouTube or...

    Kitchen Sink or Limits, Which for You?

    As my current campaign is set beneath the surface of the sea, PCs must have a natural swim speed and the ability to breathe underwater without the use of magic (Setting Restriction). Core races, as written, are thus not acceptable. I also do not allow evil PCs (DM Restriction). So yes, I begin...

    Uniting the [Publisher] Fanbase?

    It "will help put an end to war and poverty. It will align the planets and bring them into universal harmony allowing meaningful contact with all forms of life from extraterrestrial beings to common household pets, and . . . it’s excellent for dancing." :D

    New to Enworld

    As the resident aqua-phile, I suppose I would be remiss not to welcome a kraken... my mistake... THE kraken... to EN World. ;)

    D&D 4E A thought on WotC's imperative to continue to digitally support 4e.

    Agreed. It was my understanding that DDI relied on Silverlight, to which Microsoft has yet to formally commit future resources. All it would take would be one OS update, to potentially kill any current software offerings. I would be wary of any online tools unless they were based on HTML5...

    "We don' need no steeking card games" - TSRO Aeo (spoken in the days before WotC bought TSR) ;) I prefer combat-light and roleplay-heavy, with an emphasis on story over stats. I enjoy DMing entire sessions on-the-fly, spending hours having NPCs banter with PCs, and creating new treasures...

    Would you get behind Race levels?

    Works for me. As unbalanced as Savage Species was, the idea of "monster levels" made perfect sense. As a bonus, it would make non-standard races easier to use as characters, so I'm all for it.

    D&D 4E A thought on WotC's imperative to continue to digitally support 4e.

    If you look at DDI as software, I'm betting a year's worth of support would be pushing it, after 5e arrives. I'd expect after the release of 5e, there would be no more development of the 4e DDI. Instead, WOtC would encourage players of 4e to use the new and improved character builder, VTT, etc...

    D&D 5E (2014) So why are you buying 5th edition?
