I'm putting together a pbp campaign and am looking for interested players. The premise: The rules; I only have one player so far and am looking for it to be a largish group.

I'm going to be starting a pbp E6 game soon and was wondering what nonhuman races would spice it up some, I definitely want a lot of races due to campaign specifics (it's an ocean world that creatures stumble upon, the portal from Earth is the Bermuda Triangle.) I'm dropping elves because I...

I was looking at the Unearthed Arcana generic classes and noticed something, they are absolutely perfect for E6 play. I’ve been trying to find a good multi-classing system for the system and had even dabbled in gestalt feats, but there’s no need when using generic classes. The reasons are two...

A recent episode of Good Eats mentioned that panforte was commonly carried by travelling knights due to it's high caloric and nutritional value. Panforte is a sort of fruitcake popular in Italy. I thought it might be interesting to create a thread of foods that could constitute "iron rations"...

Anyone in Tempe still play or looking to play Alternity? I'd be interested in a Sunday game.

A newly starting E6 campaign using the Conan RPG rules is starting. We have 1 GM and 3 players, but more are welcome. Post here, PM me, or e-mail me at steven.woyach@gmail.com if you're interested.

I'm trying to put together a gaming group in the Tempe area. The plan is to play 2 games on rotating weekends, currently we're looking at Conan one weekend and 7th Sea on the other. Neither of these is written in stone however and we're open to suggestions. If you're interested leave a reply...

I've put a lot of time and energy into attempts to improve the skill system, and the results are usually improvements (in my view at least) but are also much more complex than the rules in the PHB. So I've decided to go in the opposite direction and am contemplating using the following house...

I'm thinking of using the wealth system from Modern, has anyone done this? What do you use as a general rule for converting gp costs to purchase dcs?

Is anyone else having trouble getting on P&P games? I've been having problems all day.

I'd like to get a group together for some Conan D20 gaming after the new year. Ideally I'd run Conan on a biweekly basis and another DM will run something on the other weekends. The system will be Conan D20, but it will also be a modified E6 game. If anyone doesn't know what E6 means the...

I currently have a PBP Alternity game running on Obsidian Portal, but it's not taking up much of my time and I'd like to start another. Since my current campaign is Star*Drive I'm looking to run something else. Also, I'd be willing to share GM'ing duties if anyone is interested in that.

Our group has decided on Star*Drive as our campaign setting. We are an intrepid crew just trying to scrape through life in the Verge. Our crew so far: Damien Storm: A human expatriate from the Thuldan Empire. He is the owner of the Excalibur. He needs a good crew to maximize his profits, and...

I've had trouble putting together a face to face game so I'll be running a pbp instead. The system will be Alternity, but the campaign is not decided on. When I get at least 4 players together we'll have a vote on the campaign details. I'm comfortable running everything from sci-fi to stone...

Since I haven't had any luck getting an Alternity game going I'm going to try my luck at getting something going that I've been wanting to do for years. Is anyone up for playing 3.5 with a deck of cards instead of dice?

Trying to put together an Alternity group. Possible campaigns include * Mutant Rising (PL 5): In the near future the divisions between rich and poor are stark and unbending. Mutants have begun to appear in the slums. Feared and despised, they are forced to hide their abilities and band...

The Earth is no more, devoured by dying Sol. Thankfully Earth’s scientists were able to predict the cataclysm, allowing time to construct titanic space transports capable of saving enough of humanity to be reborn on far off Novus Terra. The Ark is the greatest of these transports, home to 100...

Something I've noticed is that "what are your houserules" posts tend to be fairly unproductive, mostly due to the huge amount of rules presented. That or people just give a taste of their house rules to keep it short. I think a good fix for that would be posts for small sections of house...

When it comes to world design, the devil's in the details. Yeah, different kinds of dragons, chimeras, and other magical beasts are nice but what about the common creatures. Are the breeds of dogs and horses different, or are they just like the real world's with different names? Or do people...

Most DND pantheons seem dead. Hey look, it's so and so. She's the godess of rain. That's as far as they really go. Gods are created and just assigned portfolios that follow a theme and we move on. I find this unsatisfying, and I have a hard time believing I'm the only one. Mythologies exist for...
