For my money, it's Kalamar. There are SO MANY options out there, you have to be careful what you pick and choose--and Kalamar seems to be a well supported, clear, interesting, and thorough setting. It's growing expansively--catching up on the sourcebooks and mods for the setting may be an...

I see. Thanks! Maybe I shoulda done a search first. I appreciate your list of links. Anyhoo, I guess I can summize that no one is doing an officially licensed Firefly campaign setting for any game setting yet. I'm sure that probability will change when the movie comes out next year. I am...

Hey all-- I was wondering if anyone had heard anything about a Firefly setting using the d20 system. I just rented the first three episodes from Netflix, and am chomping at the bit to purchase the complete DVD Box set now. I'm now a total Browncoat... Since there's a movie in production...

San Diego Gamers I guess I'm just very fortunate then. In the San Diego area, the Living Greyhawk group has got a LOT of older gamers--in fact, I'd venture to say that about half of the players are 35-40 and above. In fact, the definition of "older gamer" is really relative here... It's very...

Just wanted to know if anyone else had picked up the Mongoose Modern Pocket Handbook, and if they'd had a chance to check it out. It's pretty cheap, and seems to be a repackaging of the OGL rules, but I haven't been able to find any reviews on it. I wanted to know if it might be a good...

I have recently started judging for RPGA events, and I gotta say my big hangup is the rules. I have judged less than a dozen tables, and I think I've had maybe two players I've actually judged twice. In my opinion, DMing a friendly, reoccuring home group is a real luxury. Especially one...

Here are some articles about WotC business origins, including some bits in the beginning about Palladium. http://archive.salon.com/tech/feature/2001/03/23/wizards/index.html http://archive.salon.com/tech/feature/2001/03/26/wizards_part2/index.html Coreyartus

That would be an excellent idea! It takes the onus off the particular setting itself and helps DM's see firsthand how they can adapt it to their own campaigns. I understand about increasing page count to the point of being impractical. You are very right. My suggestion would be this...

I've seen the current sidebars. While they're a great start, they hardly make each adventure "easy" to adapt. In fact, half the adventures I flipped through were dependent upon the specific politics, geography, and history of the individual setting (regardless of whether it was GH, FR or a...

Erik-- If there was ever a decision worth investing in, it's hiring someone to write a page or two of sidebar material on how to adapt the "generic" mods in Dungeon into specific settings--i.e. Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Greyhawk, and even Kalamar if one is so inclined. One of the BIGGEST...

Anyone know when the minis will be out? Not that I'm chomping at the bit or anything, just curious. Anyone purchased them yet that has had the full "new product without the preview" experience? Whatcha think? Coreyartus

An Analogy It's obvious the consumer base for adventures is fragmented--the advent of d20 and 3E is still promulgating a renaissance in RPGs, with players exploring different aspects of rules and how they can be applied in various situations, settings, and campaigns. To create an analogy...

Those same long adventures are almost two products for the price of one: isn't it fun to read a mod through for the first time? It's like a novelette--I kinda "play" it in my head as I go along. I love that! I don't mind paying around $15-20 for a good mod, as long as it has the quality...

In defense of Living Greyhawk, I have to say I think the RPGA/Circle of Six are doing a great job. It's hard to coordinate a world with 200 mods coming out every year. It's hard to manage story lines from hundreds of middle-management folk (triads) and almost as many writers. It's hard to...

Okay, sorry, try this: here. If that doesn't work, here's the thread: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?threadid=60906 The issue is not that Sovereign Press is doing two new shared-world-campaigns. The issue is that RPGA has said they are not going to support ANY new...

Ah. Confusion is cleared up at this thread: here.

A couple months ago, in numerous emails to WotC and posts on the Wizards boards, those that expressed an interest in a Living Modern campaign were told that RPGA wasn't going to be starting any more campaigns because they didn't have the time. We were told that even those of us who were...

Nah, I just found it ironic that they kept saying there was absolutely no hope of a Modern campaign, and yet they somehow find the time to assist two more variations of something they've already got... I find that sorta frustratin'. Coreyartus

I don't get it. Mortality Radio's interview with Sovereign Press and Margaret Weiss says that RPGA is going to start two new fantasy campaigns: Living Dragonlance and Living Sovereign Stone. That means they're ignoring a Living Modern Campaign. Aren't Living City, Living Arcanis, Living...

Yeah, I don't understand why everyone feels Gencon has to stay in Indianapolis. If the move from Milwaukee proved anything it's that a change of venue won't kill it, and it seems to me that Indianapolis just can't seem to make room for our measly little convention in the face of so many big...
