I ve been mulling over some Known World/Mystara stuff. Although they use Immortals, there seems to be quite alot of local or national gods. Of course, versions of OD&D and AD&D didnt have to concern themselves with things like domains and such, so alot of this was for flavor. What do you...

I just underwent a weekend of pain thanks to this little piece of malware. My brother stumblede across it soemwhere and it was a pain. If you get it, it likes to mod winexplorer, and do things like dial out and drop ads on the desktop. And if you have system restore on it keeps a copy of itself...

Im working on using some tieflings as a PC race in a norse flavored homebrew Im working on. Its pretty basic Swords and Sorcery, with the "Norse" more akin to Normans than the sea going freebooting Vikings. Anyway, theyve been led to a Celtic-ish Britain like isle populated with D&D races. I...

James leaves the church into the crisp, cool sunlight of a bright morning. A quick look of the village shows it be quite clean and orderly. The cottages are all stone with green tile roofs. Marlowes is easy to find, just north of the church and the iron lion fountain. So after a quick short...

I recently saw Last of the Mohicans on television. I was impressed by the lethality of Chingachgook's weapon, blunt and sharp, heavy and rather impressive. Anyways, research informs me this is a gunstock tomahawk (or club) depending in the source. They oftern had an edged side, with sharpened...

I was surfing looking for info about the Conan action game-I still dont know its status-and I stumbled on this little gem: April 20, 2005 - Funcom, creators of Anarchy Online, today announced Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, an online action RPG which will combine a solo-style play with...

I just read the gamespot review of Jade Empire, and I was struck (again) by how gamespots reviews actually tend to review the game, analyzing strengths and weaknesses instead of concentrating on da hype. Other sites give scores, or make passing references to a games shortcomings, gamespot IMHO...

EDIT: I was originally going to recruit for a C&C game of my own. However, I joined an online chat game. The campaign just started but we have just two players (maybe 3). We just finished out first session, and the group seems to be pretty good. So, check out my DMs webpage with Houerules and...

When did the monk class make its first appearance? And well, why? Just wondering as I go through so older rpg material. I have nothing against the class myself. But D&D seems to be at least in its beginnings based on European style fantasy. IIRC monks and assassins were in the Blackmoor rules...

Our story begins with the party having recently formed in Verbobonc City. Banding together for adventure, fame, wealth or just simple escape, youve hit the road east. But obviously in such a short time you each know little of each others backgrounds and personalities. Our party- Norgim...

This thread is for PCs in the Castles and Crusades powered PbP game, A Lion in the Ropes.

Ok Ive looked and searched. But was there not once a FAQ/how to/do and donts guide to play by post rpg on the boards somewheres? I ask since I starting a PbP with soem relative newcomers to the genre, and I thought it might be handy. Or am I imagining things?

This thread is for our Castles and Crusades powered game. We'll be running the Troll Lords module A Lion in the Ropes. The module will be set in the world of Greyhawk for purposes of deities and flavor, but will otherwise have little bearing on the module. My 2 houserules: 1. Backpacks are...

Not sure if this is the right forum, but it is based on a computer game and looks to be non d20.....http://pc.ign.com/articles/596/596162p1.html

Possibly my weirdest post at ENWorld, but.... Given the large cross section of people around the world on these boards, I thought I'd give it a shot. I need a recommendation for a new "fuzzy logic" rice cooker. I currently have a an older Zojurishi 3 cup cooker/warmer, with the one button...

So according to amazon.com The Wizard, book 2 of Gene Wolfe's "duology" is out. My order shipped today. I was surprised since I thought it was to be released in November. Anyone seen it on bookshelves? I am anxiously awaiting the book-I loved The Knight. But then again has it been a year? Where...

I really dont read comics anymore. What with the instability of the industry and the total lack of regard for what was once canon I just dont keep up. But in the old days I was a big Avengers fanboy.But now nothing seems to make sense. This from USA Today: Comic books Marvel's 'New Avengers'...

So in my search for gaming bliss I recently got X men Legends. I was sort of frustrated with the single player experience and the stupid AI of your teamates, so I traded it. Except for Rome Total War I ve had bad recent mojo with games. Im still bitter over the crappy netcode and stupid...

Just wondering but.. For the past year or so, Ive mostly been a console guy..except for the occasional MMO, there hasnt been alot thats interested me. But with finally upgrading my computer and the new releases Im getting back into it. But wow..is it me or are games getting bigger? MMOs and...
