    [Recruiting Fresh Again!] The Old School: 1e AD&D

    Well if it can get going again I will happily jump back in with Amirad the Gallant! Call me surprised that it may kick itself back to life.

    Writing - When do you use\not use computers?

    I've always found just using some paper and pencil to be far easier. Especially if your just designing for your home game. Course now that I've been doing some writing to get published, the computers become an unfortunate must. Still I usually write the initial ideas by hand, then expand them...

    Dungeons & Dragons #2 out today!

    Having visit 51 comic and game shops in the Toronto area (Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Toronto) this summer I can attest that Comic Warehouse is pretty awesome. If depending on where you are in Mississauga you may also want to check Altered State - 1701 LAKESHORE RD...

    Looking for an investigative/horror system

    If I was running something like this I'd use mortal World of Darkness (just the core book) and probably add in Second Sight for the magic system. If you don't like werewolves and Vampires just don't use them. It problably be handy for a Player or two to have a core book, but only the GM...

    Map of the RPG Community

    Now we just need writeups for all those forums and we'll have a campaign setting! Something like: ENworld Capital: Population: 96 165 (D&D 3e 66.7%, D&D 4e 22.6%, Pathfinder 1%, Other 9.6%) *note the 3e has the weight of 10 years behind it and is comparatively a little distorted, some earlier...

    Map of the RPG Community

    I didn't say so before because I'm not sure how to express how much that map totally rocks. You clearly roled a 20 on a have a creative idea. An another 20 on execute creative idea.

    Map of the RPG Community

    Welcome to CORTEXSYSTEMRPG.ORG lists 4008 members, and with 4234 topics (threads). (Should be in the side bar, at least when I'm logged in it is.) Note this is pretty much the forum for all things Margret Weis Productions.

    Tell me about Hellas

    All I know about Hellas is that Game Geeks did a review of it a while back YouTube - Game Geeks #158 Hellas: World of Sun and Stone

    Good RPG shop in Ottawa?

    In terms of a good RPG shop Fandom II really is the place to go in Ottawa (they do also have some basement gaming space and billboard to post local games). I've actually visited over 50 comic and/or game stores in the Toronto area this summer for a project and am hard pressed to think of a store...

    [Lets's play] You're given total control of Dungeons & Dragons...

    Well first I'd buy/aquire/merge or form some sort of solid business arrangement with both Pazio, and Troll Lords. They'll keep all their properties and staff intacted, but now they can have rights to any 3rd edition, or pre-3rd edition stuff they desire and re-offer it as they see fit. Plus...

    Strategy & Tactics Magazine

    So . . . I know a lot about the history of the magazine . . . But how are the wargames that come with it these days. (I've even looked at a couple without the game part at a magazine store and they look neat in terms of the military history.) The price tag is a little heafty for a subscription...

    Oots 0731

    I've heard of 'the fuzz'. But then I have also read a lot of 60's comics. I preffer 'flatfoot' though.

    My version of a D&D movie

    My version openly acknowledges itself as a game, by showing both worlds, the players(the real world) and the characters(game world). Oh wait, The Gamers, already did that. Really to be any good you have to take yourself not so seriously.

    Blindness/Deafness in AD&D

    Hmmm thanks for the blindness pointer. Deafness seems a little trickier. Going with the 2e (20% spell failure) ruling seems reasonable. The only real precedents is the silence spell though that specifically states that it stops sound, and thus spells. I think adding in a small penalty to AC...

    CanGames

    Ah Steel Wind your posts are always filled with appreciated insight. While I feel like enhancing the FanExpo gaming ness is an excellent goal. I feel like Toronto needs another general caming con. Probably not something near the size of FanExpo itself, I doubt it could support that especially...

    CanGames

    I'm the same way, first started hearing about some of these cons about a year and a half ago. I can't believe that the only con in the toronto area is FanExpo, I'm sure there's gotta be some others, even small ones but . . . can't seem to dig them up.

    Blindness/Deafness in AD&D

    So I'm looking through my 1e books and OSRIC and I can't for the life of me find a reference to what actually mechanically happens when someone is blind or deafened. I could certainly infer things on blindness based on invisibility rules. (-4 to hit all opponents and must guess correct...

    CanGames

    Were you there for either of the previous years (it started in 2008 I believe)? I recall seeing an add for in on Fandom II website and checking it out about three weeks ago. They didn't have any RPGs listed at that time, has that changed? If your in the Ottawa area I can't recommend Go-Play...

    CanGames

    That does still seem to be the case. Allthough the boardgame crowd was certainly of a similar size (at least in numbers of players, eloborate wargames can take up a fair bit of space). That being said there was still a stong presences of RPGs and a good variety of games on offer. I don't believe...
