For some time now I have been writing a novel to support a d20 sci fi rpg called "Dead Stars". The .pdf of the game is now available here and is free. With the rules comes the first chapter of my novel, Manticore's Run. The full novel will be available as a pdf by the end of the week. Check it...

I’ve scoured the web and cannot find the right picture I’m looking for. I’m searching for a picture of an unarmed man in a great coat with a scarf up over his mouth. The image I have in mind is Mark Dacascos’ character from “Brotherhood of the Wolf” from the first scene, when both the main...

I'm going to be running a superhero game for my group soon and I'mlooking for websites with cool inspirational stuff, especially concept art. I've got a fair amount of stuff so far, but I was hoping for more and Google's defeating me at the moment. Can people give me some useful links? Thanks

I have just finished reading this story: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,11913,987172,00.html Someone please tell me that moves are already afoot to end this evil. Edit: added OT to subject line.

I will soon begin to DM a PBEM game and have never done anything like this before. Is there a good reference guide or a list of dos and don'ts you could point me to? Thanks in advance

I have just filed my PhD thesis for permanent binding and booked my spot in the next graduation ceremony. :D :D :D :D :D Soon I will be Doctor No One of Consequence *happy dance* edit: ps. the thesis title is "Religion: Jedi Myth and Metaphysics in SF Film in the post-Star Wars Era...

Hi, I'm not sure where the War, Evil and Suspected Enemy agents thread broke the rules. Also, I don't understand what your comment about Nutkinland means. Could you please clear it up for me. This is an honest question, not an attempt at debate. I'm quite happy for you to answer this...

Something a lot of people have said on the TPK thread is that TPK should only result from party stupidity (or some paraphrase of this principle). The question is, how stupid is TPK-fatality-Darwin Award-stupid? I'm not talking about ignorance here - "Hey dude, so it's a floating ball with eyes...

I've been playing and running rpgs of many ilks for over twenty years and it occurs to me that I have not ever had a TPK in a game I ran. In fact, I would consider it something of a personal failure if I ever did. My campaigns are about the players, not about my ability to drop a (drow...

My current group can only meet once a fortnight and I'm looking to slot into a second game. Can DM comfortably but happy to play. Anyone got something going that can fit one more? Damn, feels like I'm writing a personal for the classifieds...ugh.

The current situation with prestige classes is that if a character wants to take a level of a prestige class they must first possess the necessary prerequisites. Typically PrC prerequisites cannot be achieved by characters of less than 5th level and frequently they cannot be achieved unless a...

OK, that's a provocative topic but this is not an excuse for meaningless debate or flaming. What I'm hoping to discuss is the way in which races are used to categorise enemies and monsters, as well as characters. IRL we know it's racist to attribute characteristics to a person just because of...

To all enworlders from Asia: As an Australian I feel constrained to appologise for my prime minister's racist attitude and most especially his most recent and condescending comment that he would be willing to order Australian troops to violate the territory of our South East Asian neighbours in...

A clarion call goes out - new adventurers must be found to trounce evil, get into strange, challenging and possibly humourous situations and generally roll dice until the fat lady sings. This is a request to the boards. My campaign is reaching a bit of a crossroads and some of my players are...

One of the best sources for scenario plots is, IMHO, films. For that reason, I ask everyone to name their favourite movies with plots which can, or have been, adapted to scenarios. To start us off: 1. The Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven 2. The Guns of Navarrone 3. Conan the Destroyer 4. Conan...

Can anyone tell me if there is a standing world record for continuous D&D playing and what it is?

Sidran suggested that I drop this in here. It's sitting on the House Rules forum as well. Please make comments. As is probably pretty obvious, it's based on Green Goblin from Spiderman(TM). Battle Glider (Magic Item) Description A battle glider is a magical device that acts as a flying steed...

As is probably obvious, this was all inspired by the Green Goblin, especially as he appeared in the recent Spiderman(TM) movie. I picked githyanki as the base race because I thought that their baroque styling fitted with the Green Goblin image. However, I think this would work just as well for...

It's stuck on 150. what's up with that? edit: Never mind. Sorry.

I've decided to start chronicling the adventurers of our Shadow of the Spider Moon (spelljammer) campaign. The story is told from the point of view of my new character, Prentice Ash - a level 6 Psychic Warrior. It's written in journal form. I hope everyone enjoys it. -------- My name is...
