Anybody know a good science fiction conversion for 5E? It's been a lot harder than I had thought to convert it myself - looking for something that's already done the heavy lifting for me! Thanks! sci fi sci-fi science-fiction

Gonna pull the trigger on an alt-history, modern-day sci-fi game. It'd be awesome if the party, starting out, delivered standard 20-meter shipping containers with their converted, surplus Russian Tu-160 supersonic bomber. Would one fit? Thanks!

Just bought a skyship, want to see how long that trip would take. Can't get to my books right now, looking for the straight-line, as-the-crow-flies distance, thanks!

The party is six encounters from fighting the Boss monster at the end of the campaign. The Bad Guys are the ones who got the Boss resurrected in the first place, so they want to see him win; but - they also have a vendetta against one of characters. The Party's winning, the Bad Guys are losing...

Short version: need your help describing a Firefly/Serenity-Reaver-type ocean-going vessel that would work in our D&D game. Longer version: I’m currently running a SereniFly-based human rogue in our Pyramid of Shadows game. I’ll be DMing King of the Trollhaunt Warrens next, and my character has...

I'm the DM from a previous post http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/325626-dont-add-up-damage-use-blank-d6.html planning to roll damage using a specially marked d6 with some of the actual damage totals written on it. If a monster deals 2d6+5 damage, I'd mark a blank d6: 9...

I’m a 4Eer since it came out. I’m a story-teller and method actor, roleplayer not rollplayer, and I find 4E supports that really well. More importantly, my game group likes it. We have all the types of players and they all find something to like in it. It’s easy to DM on the fly too. I’m...

I’ll tell ya what, I’ve read about ‘edition wars’ here plenty, but it’s a for-real thing. I wasn’t at Origins a whole hour before somebody said something to me. 6 or 8 of us were in line to play test D&D Next. This one guy’s friend stopped by and made some knucklehead joke to him. The guy said...

I needed an oni mage for King of the Trollhaunt Warrens and don't have a lot of money to spend. I found a $1 Star Wars common at Origins and threw some stuff at it that I had laying around my basement. I'm no miniature painter, but I did study ink wash and drybrush a little bit. The whole...

I just can’t add. Quickly. When my rogue hits with a combat advantage daily it takes me so long to add up the 5d8+3+5 that the DM jumps in most times. It’s getting to be a joke. In a couple months I’ll be the DM (Trollhaunt Warrens) and I’ll be playing a cave full of monsters that do 2, 3 and...

"While many DMs want to build monsters using the target numbers-based system that 4th edition uses, some DMs may want to build their monsters like PCs, adding levels of cleric onto orcs to create enemies that also have many class features. Some DMs may want to use templates to create everything...

This photo surfaced last year on the blog "Vintage Wargaming." In April of 1966 The Minneapolis Tribune did a feature on miniatures wargaming at David Wesely's home. Wesely refereed history's first roleplaying game in 1967, with Dave Arneson as one of the players. He's in this photo too...

"... the local press showed up... I was away... one of the freshmen... providing the reporter with her version... a number of painful gaffs... the “essence of role-playing” was “finding monsters, killing them, and taking their gold.”" I am a news photographer and I can tell you that it is very...

Family bet: my sister and her one son, a gamer nerd, agreed that he will play a family game of softball with her and his jock brother (and 15 other friends and family) if she and the jock son play a game of D&D 4 with him and Uncle Varden. That means I have to write and DM a 1st level D&D 4...

Take the Firelfy/Serenity story and superimpose it on a D&D-type fantasy world: DragonFly. With D&D4 getting all the current buzz right now, it could be a good way to 'keep flyin' even though your gaming group is more interested in dungeoneering again. The Central Planets = Central Continent...
