Howdy! I'm new to Marietta and looking for a group. I'm ideally interested in Pathfinder, but I'll consider various editions of D&D. I might also be interested in a game set in the classic World of Darkness (Wraith, Vampire, or Mage), but the group really has to be right for those games...

After several months of steady freelance work, I'm taking a bit of time to work on the ol' homebrew again. I keep returning to an issue that I've ran into with D&D settings over the years. In short, I'd like to make a setting where humans were the only race available as a PC option--no elves...

Howdy EN World folks! I'm going to Atlanta this week for business. While I won't have much free time during the week, I've scheduled Saturday to see what's around town. I'd love to swing by a game store and pick up at least a set of dice--it's become a tradition for me to pick up dice while...

I've been using canonfire's wiki for over a year now in my Pathfinder game set in Greyhawk. It's down now... Does anyone know of a good wiki-style site for Greyhawk?

Just like the title says, how do the rogues in your game go about getting their sneak attack damage? I've seen a great deal of confusion about flanking at home games and Pathfinder Society games over the past year or so. For whatever reason, there is a perception that "flanking" is a condition...

I received a rather pleasant surprise in my email today. Although the hardcopy hasn't shipped yet, I got my copy of the 20th Anniversary Edition Vampire: the Masquerade today as a .pdf. Anyone else have it tonight? :)

One of the things about Pathfinder that I really like (that I've realized perhaps a bit slowly, over several months of regular play) is that very few Pathfinder players aspire for their characters to take levels in a prestige class. With abilities that scale through single-classing (barbarian...

I've been discussing an idea with some of my gamer friends about how to sell and distribute setting content. Here's the gist. The idea is to post a website with the setting material on it, free of charge. You can view and download the setting material, and perhaps even go so far as to have a...

I'm running a regular Pathfinder game these days. Since we're not playing this upcoming weekend, I used some of my regularly scheduled prep time tonight to whip up a quick reference sheet for information and tables that aren't on the GM screen, but I constantly find myself flipping through the...

Full disclosure: I know that it's fake. It's supposed to be "funny ha ha," and I did have a laugh at it. It became less and less funny as I saw more of the people that I've had the misfortune to play with over the years. YouTube - ‪Francis is Upset about his 4ed Dungeons and Dragons Game‬‏...

Looking for a group in the Triangle area that can play on Saturdays or possibly Sundays, beginning in April or so. My preference is for Pathfinder, but I'd also consider a 4E game or an older version of D&D. I might consider a classic World of Darkness game, depending on the interested parties...

I'm running a 4E game with a hexblade warlock in it--the player just joined us tonight and he's new to 4E, so we're all a little green on the hexblade. I've actually already run two sessions and some of the characters have magic items. What magic items would be good for a hexblade warlock with...

Howdy folks! I'm gearing up to do a good ol' 1E game at my FLGS. I'd like to do random treasure, but some sort of application would speed things up for me. Can anyone point me toward an online resource that does 1E random treasure generation? Thanks!

I'm really digging Pathfinder, but it does have one glaring thing that I want to change. Druids are still a bit too over-powered to me. They can do a bit of everything, and I don't quite want them to be so versatile. They also have a grab-bag of odds-and-ends abilities that are situationally...

I've had a situation in looking for a 4E group and I'm wondering how common it is. I've been trying to get into some 4E games on and off for the past few months. Two local games match up with my schedule and I was invited to play. Two or three other games, I might be able to sit in on every...

I've been working on companion characters a lot lately, mostly as a method to patch parties that are small or have a role uncovered. An idea occurred to me, one that I'd actually like to see in play some time. Elite monsters are (theoretically) supposed to function as two standard monsters in...

Am I the only person who has a problem with "gamer humor?" Back in the 2E days, players constantly quoted Monthy Python and the Holy Grail. Every NPC in plate armor was a "knight who said Ni," major temples were suspected of harboring a "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch," and every damage roll was...

I realize that I'm dating myself as an old dude when I bring this up... But bluntly, I don't understand what some of my players are saying to me. I've gathered that a "toon" is a character. I also understand that "aggro" is a term for marking creatures. Could someone tell me what a "sherrop"...

I know this is probably a topic that keeps coming up every once in a while... But I actually haven't purchased D&D miniatures in about three years. The quality took a nose dive a while back, but the newer sets actually seem to have good sculpts and paints and I wanna buy some. Unfortunately, My...

I'm gearing up to run a paragon-tier campaign that's been going on since 1st level, way back in June of 2008. I've got a problem that I haven't been able to resolve, despite frank discussions with my players and several different approaches that I've tried. Please give me insights as to your own...
