Lately I've been playing a number of games like Torchlight, Titan Quest, Overlord, and Age of Empires. These are all top-down games with fairly simple world/dungeon maps. As I play them, I wonder why there isn't a tool like that for a GM to use to create a game on the fly. I know the original...

As my player base may require me to start running 4E, I've decided that breaking into such a different system should be done with a published set of adventures. I liked the 3E versions of War of the Burning Sky, so that seems like a good place to start. Can anyone give me an estimate of how...

My group this week decided to get into 4e. If we purchase a copy of the hardbound book, can we still then purchase a PDF copy of the book at a reduced or free level? I know WoTC pulled their RPGNow PDFs, but have they removed all PDFs? Our local gaming shop didn't know the answer and I can't...

Does anyone on EN World have experience with running or participating in "pickup" type D&D games? By that, I mean games run at a local gaming store (or other location) where the DM pledges to come in and run a game on X day at Y time and people can sign up or just show up if there's still slots...

I am looking for a game system to run a zombie apocalypse type game in. This game is going to be fast paced, short lived, and will lean toward a style similar to a number of zombie movies. We need something fairly easy to learn as this won't be a long running game, though it's a game type we...

In my current game, the PCs are in service to Jican, god of knowledge. I had originally had his holy symbol be a silver quill. The players were all less than enthusiastic about this choice. Since it's tattooed on the forehead in this setting, I can understand they want something they can...

I am doing some research into game systems to run my next campaign in. I've got some months before my current game ends, but I want to start looking into the game systems so that I have time to read several and then learn the one I choose. I am looking for some recommendations of systems that...

Folks: I've always come here for my resources on D&D. Now, I find myself getting ready to run a Third Edition Shadowrun game after not having run Shadowrun seriously for more than five or six years. I don't know where the resources are anymore. Most of my old browser bookmarks don't work...

When you get back and have some time, would you please add "Gamescapes" and their product "Story Maps, Pirate Set 2" to the review database? I would like to post a review of that product. Thank you.

I hope I have put this in the correct forum ... I have just started a campaign that is quickly going to need a more detailed pricing list for various goods and supplies than I generally use. The characters are ship based. They are going to be acquiring cargoes from pirates (and maybe some...

I've run into a physics of flight question in my new campaign, and I'm hoping some of you out there can help me figure it out. It has been a lot of years since college physics, and I'm not sure if I've got this right. (I realize I could hand-wave it all away as magic, but that doesn't sit well...

My question and poll are about the class names. I am working on a custom campaign where the classes are heavily changed. Rather than use set abilities, each time you get an ability, you get to choose from a list. This will allow players to customize their classes. There are six main classes...

Our group is starting a new campaign in the next couple of weeks and we are looking for some additional players. Unfortunately, that darn real world has made several of the people who were going to be in the game quite unavailable. We play every Saturday night -- or as "every" as we can manage...
