I pretty much qualify as a "forever" DM. I have had stint at playing a Pathfinder Adventure Path (Strange Aeons) which is now finished, however I was still a DM during half of that for another group. The minute I joined my first group (all newbies at school) I was thrust into the DM role...

** Double Post **

For someone who has one child obsessed with the Power Rangers, I know I definitely will NOT be buying an RPG based on that material. I prefer him to run around fighting imaginary enemies and coming up with dialog rather than to have him sit down around a table and do the same without exercise. D

My spend on RPG stuff is nominally about $20 per month on average - some months nothing, some months a lot. Since I am a Savage Worlds person it is 100% PDFs and I never turn down a great Bundle of Holding collection when it comes up. My main aim here is interesting settings to mine, specific...

Unfortunately the trailer needs better modelling and rigging for the characters. Apart from that it does evoke the mood it most likely will try to portray - you have to kill everything with really general missions to go on. The previous two Dark Alliance Games fit that bill as does D&D Heroes...

@DMMike - the folding was so that it was really double sided without the players having to flip it over during play. For your idea have a look at the origami fortune tellers that all kids tend to fold ... it might suit your ideas.

@Morrus I like these - the application form more than the schoolbook (my schoolbooks were never that well organised) so it does not evoke the same feeling as one of a myriad of application forms I had to fill out for future tenants when I worked the front desk at a real estate agents way back...

Flying my own flag and tooting my own horn - if this is inappropriate then please delete the post. I am rather fond of the sheets I whipped up for a Savage Worlds conversion of the Pathfinder Adventure Path Strange Aeons. Here are the "advertising" shots of the sheet. D

The one-page format has been one of the building blocks of Savage Worlds for a long time now. Most of the documents are 2 pages because they include stat blocks and art work of the big bad, but it is a single sheet if that is removed. I have pieced together an entire season 1 from one sheets...

Personally, I find all of the holidays lend themselves to great gaming - no matter the country - as long as the holiday itself is fully understood. As I wrote that my mind wandered to the movie Coco - about Dias de los Muertos. That would be a great adventure for children to go on, firstly as...

My bad ... I was caught up in all the excitement of reliving the past :)

I was around 9 or 10 when my mother returned from the USA on a business trip with the start of my AD&D gaming life. Until this time I had played Basic and Expert. She turned up with the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual 1, Deities and Demigods and the Fiend Folio. Of...

The stat block looks bloated as all stat blocks tend to be. Why have all these similar abilities printed and reprinted even with different names taking up space! Irreligious should be in some kind of glossary, and simply listed as Irreligious (DC 17 Will) or something similar. One could argue...

Greetings, it is always great to see people playing with the Savage Worlds system. However there are some general caveats that one should look out for. Firstly have you played the system extensively "as is". Modifying the game without testing the bare bones system over and over leads to a...

As mentioned previously it is not the machine but the user at fault. If you use the machine to enhance your game - reduce rule book usage, quick access to character information, keeping notes that can be transmitted to others, then there should be no problem. Nowadays budgets dictate how...

Yes I do. Bought it for my 5 year old at the time. The card board games are quick and easy versions of the full board games and sometimes they take a slightly boring board game for adults and make it age accessible. The battleships game is just this. The essence of Battleships is there...

My first knowledge of RPGs was AD&D but I did not realise what it was. I was about 8 at the time. A lot of weekends my mother would go with me into the city by train and take me to the biggest bookstore at the time. I would browse and read and it was the best thing for me. Since I had been...

I downloaded the demo on XBL just to see what it was like. Even at the low price I do not trust low prices (crazy I know). Now I am someone who since my inception into the world of D&D in the 1970s has played every game that came out that was remotely D&D related. If it had a D&D official logo...

I own both a DSi and the PSP 3000. Both systems have their goods and bads and sometimes I think that you need to own both in the long term to get a good coverage of what is out there. There is a D&D Tactics game on the PSP which is alright ... and the PSP-ified Eye of Judgement is pretty good...

The very first game/group I DMmed in 4th had a Rogue striker played by my wife (not that it makes a difference to the situation). She was outputting the damage equivalent of 2 of the other characters. Given that the warlord was always giving her the extra attacks as well. However on balance she...
