    Gurps? Where do I start?

    GURPS4e is my no.1 game of choice for everything from cyberpunk gutter scum to living gods - so just one remark: - "deadly" is misleading. In fact in GURPS4e characters are a lot less likely to die the "instant death" of D&D PCs. However, unless you use certain "cinematic" rule modifications...

    Monte Cooks WoD is for 3.5

    hmmm... so it'll be something like an almost-postapocalyptic scenario using the basic features of the xWoD... ...sounds ok, but since I use GURPS for most of my games and I've always felt that GURPS Cabal is "the WoD done right", and since this here is a postapocalyptic version of it that's...

    Looking for settings or complete rpgs along this line

    The Wilderlands of High Fantasy also have sciene fiction / high tech level background (like Blackmoor which is also from the 1970s) - but it's not about our planet. BTRC did WarpWorld in the early 1990s - which is about Earth in the 24th century, including magic, active deities, elves & dwarfs -...

    ErfWorld

    no sympathy for the characters, not even a smile for the "humor" = no more reading of Erfworld

    How do you use settings/worlds?

    bought settings (esp. D&D stuff): as written, though player actions may change the *future* details of the setting - I never buy settings with meta-plots and/or Über-NPCs

    How would you explain this for a campaign setting?

    a) place the country to the north, but no too far (like somewhere between northern Scotland and southern Poland) - long dark winters are always great for adventures involving the undead b) make the whole area mountainous - a mix between the Alps, the Pyrenees, and the Carpathian Mountains. Then...

    Plot & Logistics: Transporting a certain artifact...

    *reads spell describtion* D'OH! :o ...well, let's see how long it takes them to come up with the Portable Hole idea ;)

    Plot & Logistics: Transporting a certain artifact...

    Cool, I really like the portable hole solution - especially since they'd have to get one first, thus giving me the reason for their next adventure! However, while the rules say that it's not a good idea to use a "Gate" spell on the Sphere, I cannot find anything prohibiting a Teleport spell to...

    Plot & Logistics: Transporting a certain artifact...

    my players may soon aquire a Sphere of Annihilation (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/artifacts.htm#sphereofAnnihilation) - they already have a Talisman of the Sphere, though they don't know it yet. Question Since the dungeon they're currently in is on top of a mountain about 150-200 miles...

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    Transhuman Space: Guardians of the D&Dead inspired by this thread: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=219100 In this version of TS in 2100 AD many virtual "Kingdoms" (think: WoW meets Second Life turned to 11) have become permanent havens for (legally) xoxed spirits (=software-based...

    Recommend a Dungeon Crawl Classic?

    very cool: the level-0 "Halls of the Minotaur" (GMed) also nifty: Mysterious Tower (currently running) looking very good: Curse of the Emerald Cobra, Legend of the Ripper, the complete upcoming "Saga of the Dragon Cult"

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    wow irrelevant crap by a second-rate sf writer who would have thought such a thing possible?

    Commercial Settings with little popularity

    Known Realms is the perfect lovechild of all that's good & awesome about Mystara and Greyhawk - it's also the background for more than 40 published adventures (Dungeon Crawl Classics), and there's a Level 1-10 campaign box set (Saga of the Dragon Cult) on its way... ...and on GenCon there'll be...

    Choices, Choices, Choices, or what's a DM to do?

    run the Halls of the Minotaur adventure from DCC#35 with them - they'll insist on playing a full campaign with their characters after that :)

    Crown of the Kobold King Cover--What do you guys/gals think?

    GREAT picture! Just shrink "Gamemastery" to 66% of it's current size - and make the level range part of the D1 sign... e.g.: D1 L1-3
