    Your Current Game?

    For the past four years, I have been running my online (chat-based) 3.5e undersea World of Greyhawk campaign "Heirs of Turucambi". The party is now in possession of the third Tome of Apotheosis and a draught of Aqua Mortis, both required to restore life to the spirit hag Xaetra, who currently...

    Did anyone else read that as "Doctor Who treated JFK"?

    Kickstarter-Style Preorders: The Future of RPGs?

    One could also simply self-publish. Apple has some rumored changes due to appear later this month: "Goodereader sources claim that Apple is planning to introduce a new self-publishing platform based on the EPUB format. This would allow Apple to compete with similar programs run by Amazon and...

    The Guards at the Gate Quote

    The one that always irked me was: "D&D is a game about slaying horrible monsters, not a game about traipsing off through fairy rings and interacting with the little people." - James Wyatt, "Races and Classes" (pg. 34)

    Which can be overcome with semantics.. behold, the Gazer

    If Hasbro Pulls the Plug....

    I agree with those who have stated that the plug has already been pulled. The last time I walked into a gaming store to look for D&D products was the day 4e was released. For the past 4 years, I have been running my weekly 3.5e D&D game. With luck, I will be running it for at least four more...

    Choose the Illusion: Dungeon Mastering

    "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but it is by far the least interesting." - Doctor Who Suppose the daughter was due to succeed the king, so he had her assassinated and will frame her murder on the PCs who "rescue" her. Suppose she was not kidnapped. Instead she...

    The Escapist on D&D Past, Present, and Future

    Agreed. I see my campaign as a shared work of coauthored fiction. I set the stage and the players improvise within the scene I have set. Mind you, the extras (NPCs) will often try to steal the scene. When designing an adventure, it is easy to begin with "go from point A to point B to point C"...

    False identity theft?!

    Someone else uses the name Aeolius on YouTube, Yahoo, Skype, and a handful of other social media sites, even though I have been using the name since 1985 (AppleLink:PE, pre-AOL). Also, there is a famous actor in current movies that uses my name (I am older). That being said, I am also know...

    Merry Krampus, Everybody!

    A pity I missed this thread until now. For some time now I have been setting up Krampus as a new antagonist in my game. I made the krampus a male hag, of sorts, son of a night hag and second night hag shape-changed into male form. A natural-born hag-slayer, the krampus was imprisoned by his...

    Helen Mirren Interested In Playing Dr. Who?

    Never mind the tenth doctor having regenerated into the form of Barty Crouch Jr. ;)

    Helen Mirren Interested In Playing Dr. Who?

    When the Time Lords forced the second Doctor to regenerate into the third Doctor, they originally gave him a list of potential appearances. He was far too picky, so they forced the regeneration. That being said, maybe it's a "girl thing"? ;)

    And then bring the Master back as the Mistress, with her sonic cat o' nine tails?

    How many tabletop roleplaying games did you play in 2011?

    One: 3.5e (World of Greyhawk, Underwater, Chock Full o' Hags... ) Mind you, I've been DMing 3.5e exclusively since it was introduced, and 3e exclusively before that. So, since 2000 I have in essence only DMed 3.x. As for being on the player's end of the DM's screen, it's been over twenty...
