As we all know the BGC, (Back ground character, also known as an NPC), in your world add flavour, voice and realistic engagement to your world as a whole. After all, who would you save if no one lived in the village, or no one posted a reward? Who would run the world around you without the BGC...

I remember, when what was it, 3rd ed DnD came out there was a big reaction to the art, that seemed to set a trend in the RPG world of great art or bust. This is an impression, not a fact. That said I am wondering does art still carry a lot of weight in the RPG comuunity and if so, I would like...

So I would like to say a gracious thank you to Staffan . I watched your video the first time and found it informative. I watched it a second time, and took notes. In the spirit of that, I would like to change gears a bit. So I am curious, what was your favourite first time RPG, and your...

So I have introduced Karma as an optional rule in my system. It is often used as a reward system, and even other players can suggest karma if the occasion calls for it. I have brought forth the idea to other communities who abhorred the idea, claim there will be excessive favouritism, over reach...

I have heard of many games speak of game balance, and have often struggled with many of the ideas presented as such. My easiest example is a reference to DnD 2nd edition Dragons. I always wondered, how do you rationalize a scaley walking fire breathing barn, having the same HP as a 12th Lvl...

So in most of my gaming experiences, rolling a Nat 1 was bad and a natural 20 was like double Dmg or something. In my own system, nat 20's are bad, and nat 1's are good, 30's are death and 00's can cost you a limb. What are your house rules for determining the result of a really good roll?

So with a great deal of systems, I see a dedicated profession of thief. I would argue the need on the basis that, thieves do not have special powers, just skills. You could play a warrior, and rob people, take advantage of someone you caught off guard, a servant could walk away with important...

So I have sold 15 advanced copies of my book, the printed locally, soft cover, ringed binding version. Today I sold my first hardcover, real deal version of my book. Do you have any advice how to proceed from here? What would you do, or want to see from a tiny little start up like me?

I am fond of too many to have a fav. Necromancers rank high on my list, Knights especially multiproffed with warriors and slayers, and of course Inventors, and mecha knights. Wizards and mystic combo's come after that. Necro's are just awesome, and I like minions, Templar Knight combos feature...

So I peaced out of DnD with the introduction of 3rd ed. I understand it did well, then 4th came out and bombed and now there is 5th ed. What has changed?

So I won't get into specific names, mostly due to memory, but I remember one guy who tried my game for the first time, and when he heard he could play giants he was like, "wait what", and quickly sat down to roll up his character. During game play he used a gruff, low bass sounding voice and...

I myself can think of a few products I would like to have for my system...Encyclopedia Magica from TSR, the full Undermountain maps and modules come to mind from Forgotten Realms DnD. Can you think of any product where the ideas and creativity of the product you would want to incorporate into...

So I have run into all manner of GM's in my time. Some of them plan out every detail, pages of notes and info, details and writing, where as I myself am an ad libber. I go with the flow, nothing is too powerful, or unbalanced, I will wing it and it goes usually well. What are your thoughts ...

I am curious about what draws people to the gaming table? For some it is roleplaying, other mechanics and for me it is being creative. Whether it is as the GM and story teller, or as a player and creating spells or tech. How about you? What is the draw for you?

I am curious what creative ways you have to deal with players who suddenly stop attending your games, for a variety of reasons. I had one player rage quit because she tried to destroy a construct, but ended up breaking her hand. The construct was invulnerable, and it was actually designed so...

So in my brief stay here I have encountered new and strange ways of being and in many ways feel like I am not hitting home with a lot of people. I want to tell the world about my game, and I want a great community behind it, but how do I go about discussing it? Well I have come up with...

So in the spirit of discussion, I am going to post this thread in an attempt to funnel most if not all questions about my gaming system here. In this way I hope to avoid coming off as spammy , or only focused on business interests. Background: I am a long time DnD player from a time where 2nd...

Hello everyone, I am QD, and I am new to this forum. I would like to inquire about a few things. First are there any unspoken rules, or paths of etiquette I should know about before proceeding with too many post? If so, I am all ears. Secondly I want to know for those of you who play alternate...
