    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: 2e vs. 3e

    All I gotta say is that 1e is about the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on....

    Marking Miniatures

    I went to Litko Game Accessories (LITKO Game Accessories) and bought some thin wood bases (3mm) in both 1" squares and 2" squares. Got some high-quality white spray-paint at Home Depot and gave them a couple good coats. Then I got a permanent marker and wrote numbers on them. Being white...

    Gaming, Adults, and Growing Up

    Growing up is DEFINITELY overrated:D I've often made the point to my wife: I could be out drinking in a bar (which costs money), playing golf (which costs money) or sitting in a strip-club and drinking (even more money), or sitting around with 5 or six folks I have a lot in common with...

    Problem with Canonfire!

    Hey, does anyone know if there's a problem with the Canonfire! website? I keep getting messages that I am forbidden & "don't have access on this server"

    Your best Villain (or Nemesis) in Campaign Adventures

    The best villian was a creation of a friend. He was first used against us as a side story going through the WFRP 1st edition modules. His name was Roger Oakenshield. He was a rogue through and through. He would pop up at the wrong times and always had an escape route. Had a couple of...

    Worst fantasy names in our Real World

    Up north in Illinois are few: Volo (named after the explorer?) there's a body of water called Third Lake and a body of water called Fourth Lake....but I'll be damned if I can find First Lake or Second Lake Keeneyville Old Mill Creek which doesn't appear to be anywhere near a creek Big Rock...

    Worst fantasy names in our Real World

    There's a Hell in Michigan, too. I thought Dante said there was only one way to get into Hell..... I just noticed....it's near Ann Arbor. So when michigan fans tell visiting Ohio State fans to "Go To Hell", are they just being nice and recommending a local sight-seeing trip?

    Always with the killing

    Never in my almost 30 years of doing this have I been in a group either as a player or DM have I had anything like killing the innkeeper as they did. The only time I remember that was similar was when we got the first Village of Hommlet module.....the party went to the first farmhouse, killed...

    Is Greyhawk Relevant?

    To Olgar: hallelujah, brother! I can still sit and stare at that map of Darlene's for hours, wondering what was going in some of those far off places.....

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

    The original adventures GW put out might have been the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on.....:-) Seriously, it is fast-paced, a little scary, a lot crazy and affords you a TON of role-playing chances. You can learn to play in about 10 minutes and make a character in about 20. And for...

    High Level 4e

    Got a question. I play with some folks who don't seem very interested in any kind of adventure that requires a character over 6th or so level. My persaonl feeling is things don't really get interesting until you're at least 10th. So my question is this: how is 4e for high-level adventuring...

    Weekday gamers in Batavia, IL

    I tried a year ago with no luck. Maybe that will change. Given the cost of petrol, I'm looking for people closer to home: the 2 hour commute once a week to the North Side of Chicago isn't cheap! I'm in my 40's, played since 1977, and only have time to play on Monday thru Thursday. Looking...

    Tell me your tale about the Tomb of Horrors

    This was conveyed to the group of us getting ready to play in the tournament module of that year. I don't remember why it came up, but one of the Head Judges told the story. I guess if EGG mentioned it in the Return To The Tomb of Horrors, it must have happened to this Judge or a friend of his.

    Tell me your tale about the Tomb of Horrors

    Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but I'll post it anyway. SPOILER ALERT!!! Imagine a gigantic room at GenCon, back at UW-Parkside. GenCon 15, I think. The beginning of the first round of the AD&D Open. There must have been 200-300 of us getting the explanation of the module & somehow...
