Starting this thread for Raven Crowking. As commented in the TPK thread, I don't generally use the term campaign. I prefer the Episode/Season/Series division that I first encountered in BtVS and more recently appeared in the Dr. Who RPG. I'll mostly talk about Buffy, as while I own the Dr...

I'm not much of a D&Der these days, though I do have one idea for a campaign with the right group. The REAL forgotten realms. I'd need players that were at least somewhat familiar with the Realms to make it work. The PCs start in some rural location, the Dales maybe. Anything they know from...

My girlfriend is feeling like she's in an RPG rut. She typically plays characters that are empathic caregivers or airheads. Both of these are lots of fun, but wants to expand her roleplaying chops to well, a more violent character. So for our new Hunter game, she made a teenage barfly with...

Forked from: 4E Consequences: Being passive, cautious, or a loner is now unoptimized I agree. 4e may not be built for the lone wolf, but rather than say 'that's badwrongfun', I thought I'd start a thread about games where that kind of style is rewarded, and how to best run one. The game...

Forked from: Rant -- GM Control, Taking it Too Far? I really disagree with this attitude. I run games because I enjoy running them, simple as that. I don't expect nor do I deserve to control the game just because I did prep work. If you don't enjoy DMing, then let someone else do it. If...

I'm a newcomer to the Ways of Mearls, and think the 4e game is a blast. Like Rel's thread, this isn't meant to be a 4e bash at all. The game is really fun, but my group isn't used to games without any roleplay mechanics behind them. My girlfriend, who has played a lot of RPGs but little D&D...

Saw this over on the Consumerist Hasbro Casts Spell of Greater Invisibility over D&D Cancellation page Apparently trying to cancel your DDI account is not a simple, easy process, with some users unable to cancel at all.

I'm looking for some more gamers! Anyone in Springfield IL either looking for games or an opening in a game, let me know. We play lots of different systems, so if you're a 'D&D or nothing' kind of player we may not be for you. If you're eager to give anything a go if it sounds fun, then leave...

*Forge of Fury Spoilers in this thread* I'm running my group through FoF. They've cleared the top level, finally getting to King Ulfe the ogre. When they went in, they kept in a tight formation to protect the spellcasters. The priestess opened with a Hold Person on one of the orcs. They...

Adventurers spend a lot of time at the inn. In my new game, I plan on the village they are in being a regular base of operations. I want the inn to be memorable, someplace they *want* to go. So I put in some interesting characters that they'll actually *want* to go and talk to. But I want...

Just moved to Benton and I'm looking to join or set up a new game. Both my girlfriend and I are wanting to play, here's a general list of preferences - Will want to meet you outside of gaming first, no pressure, just make sure we all get along. - No system snobs! We're in a D&D sort of mood...

Yeah, don't order from the internet. Go support your local game store, right? Wrong. Just because they're a game store doesn't mean that they get a pass on running a business. I've recently moved and now have a game store within driving distance. Me and the SO head down there last Sunday...

I've been on hiatus from D&D. I think it was running RttToEE that burned me out, but I wanted no part of traditional fantasy for some time. After playing a few short term All Flesh, WoD, and Exalted games, as well as an extremely successful year-long Buffy season, I'm getting the itch to play...

I’m a big zombie fan. Zombie movies, zombie video games, zombie roleplaying games. There are few things that can’t be improved by adding a horde of zombies. They’re such a direct, imminent threat that can’t be ignored. There are hundreds of them. They feel no pain. They know no fear. They...

I'm trying to put together a group of like-minded players in Southern Illinois. Here's what we're looking for. - Interested in RP. We usually have a lot of action as well, but want players that get into their characters and are happy interacting as well as fighting. - Not restricted on...

I put together the basic framework of some rules for managing a realm awhile back for my game. I've typed them up into a pdf, and wanted to get some feedback on them. I have no designs on selling them, but plan to make them freely available. The system is designed to be a a sort of...

Here is Musashi. He is a ninja, and totally sweet. I made him 20th level (equivalent) because he’s so sweet that anything lower would be an insult. He could beat Drizz easily – in fact he did in the fanfic that I rote entitled "Maximum R0xx0r - Will the real Do'Urden please stand up ?", then he...

I'm getting the urge to run D&D again (shh, don't tell my players yet, or my All Flesh game is history!) When we first started, I ran a campaign with almost no house rules to get a good feel for the system. I wanted to know it before I started tinkering. And, well, I want to tinker with how...

Not d20, but I thought I'd share some of my zombies anyway. The deadworld I'm using is similar to It Came From Beyond - in short there's been an alien invasion. The aliens animate the corpses of the dead by having little creepy-crawlies wrap around the spinal cord and control the body. The...

My group indicated they may bite on a hook that takes them searching for a lost treasure on a deserted isle. So I was hoping to find some kind of book on these kinds of adventures. My world is pretty close to standard. I'm not looking for in-depth tactical ship-to-ship combat either. My...
