I hope someone can explain this to me. I am working for a big company (about 70000 people). This year the profit is five times as high as last year. Exactly after making this success public there goes the second announcement: Next year they want to reduce the staff by 32000 people. IMO our...

Maybe someone read my rant about Frank, a player in our group. He never is concentrated on the game, never gets what is going on, never acts on his own except for slowing things down whenever he can. He generally is the most uncreative and boring person I have ever seen in my life. And he...

What are the soundtracks you like best? I mean whole albums, not only one theme. For me the top five are Conan, LotR, Hero, Rocky Horror Show and Gattacca. Dougal

Hi there! For anyone who wants to relive the splendor of nostalgia, google for abandonia - they have tons of good old games for free download usable with dosbox. There are some interesting old RPGs there. Dougal, who dumped Diablo II in favor of UFO Enemy Unknown

This comes exactly from the mouth of Frank. All his characters are named Frank, since he never bothers to think of a name. He rarely gets what system is being played (although we only play D&D3E, SW D20, AU and Spacemaster), he never knows, what skills his char has (he always plays either a tech...

Hello! Is anyone else unhappy with the ship sizes used in D20 Future? I mean a corvette is gargantuan, as is a deathstar - so both have same sizemodifiers etc. How do you solve that? Did anyone make up another way to handle ships sizes? Like Tiny for one-man fighters for example? Dougal

I have had fun reading story hours for quite some time, improving my english over the course of time and now want to try writing down the adventures of our group. It may take some time from update to update, since we don't play this campaign periodically. I hope you enjoy it and comments are...

Hi there. I need to vent a bit, so here it goes. We are a group of 7 people, ages between 26 and 36. We are playing D&D 3.0, Starwars, Arcana Unearthed and some homebrew. Now one player keeps getting on our nerves more and more. Whenever you say something like "Duh, now that probably wasn't...

Hi there! I am planning to set up a campaign in D20-Modern with the Aliens vs. Predator Setting (the players as colonists). Has anyone already created the stats for one of the different Aliens or a Predator? Or could someone with more knowledge of D20-Modern help me with that? I only got my...

Hi there! since watching Predator 1&2 (again) lately i wondered if i could put up some campaign with the chars being stuck on a lousy colony between Aliens and Predators. The System should be D20, because the players are familiar with it so i settled to using D20 Modern. I think it can cover...

Hello! I have recently started playing AU with my group, starting with the "Plague of Dreams" Adventure. There are nice plothooks included, one of which i plan to use like the following: The goal is to obtain the Orb of Dreams, which one of the NPC's tries to unlock. If he were to achieve...

Hi there, tonight will be a crucial point in the campaign i am playing in. We have a group of 12th lvl chars who have to attend a meeting of the key powers of the country we are in. The GM told us that it is of utmost importance, how we "perform" our appeareance. For this we acquired 3 of 4...

"Why is Meepo the Mighty saving the day so often?" I am not sure, but to me Meepo seems to have his own life. Lately i ran Sunless Citadel twice with different groups of people and played Meepo differently, too. With the one group i had him all naive and cowardly, with the other one he was...

Hi! I have a situation here... Sorry, i am fuming, so directly to the point: I can't stand it any longer! All the time people are twisting and turning the rules of D&D and get upset when i tell them that all i want to have is a nice D&D with standard rules, maybe SOME houserules, that are...

I liked this story so well i wanted to share it with my fellow ENBoarders :) ************************************************** (written by CobraMKIII of the moo3planet.de Community, translated by Peterle123) Part 1: The worries of Mr. S. Audio-Recording of the 79. monthly session of the...

Let's say you have a scroll of permanency and let's also say your DM tells you, there are 2000XP "stored" onthis scroll, too. What would be the spell you would choose to put on you?

Hello! Last week a GM made some very strange ruling, i simply do not understand. The party met cloakers, and one party-member botched a will-save and got wrapped up. The char flying upwards, the GM said "well, i guess, you lost control now and drop your weapons. Since you are flying, they...

Hmm, it's no art, but it's all too true... Try out those playing-scenes. http://www.dailor.grofafo.org/englisch.htm Have fun (and i hope i am not in the wrong forum, again ;) Dougal DeKree, retired gnomish Illusionist

Hi there, right now i am beginning to set up a game for a couple of people i know. The problem is that i have very little free time, so i decided to go using bought modules. What i am asking for is: Can anyone give me ideas, how i can span the range for the chars to go from lvl1 to lvl16+ ...

What Gender Is It? ZIPLOC BAGS - male, because they hold everything in, but you can always see right through them. SWISS ARMY KNIFE - male, because even though it appears useful for a wide variety of work, it spends most of its time just opening bottles. KIDNEYS - female, because they always...
