I am looking at running some short (1-5 session) horror games and I was thinking of setting some or most in the same world, but I haven’t really nailed much down. But I’m trying to think of a fantasy world / situation that would lend itself to horror. And each game, while it might be...

This isn’t how to run a spooky game but how to do so with the D20 system itself. Edit: I do not need tips on how to run a horror game, I am struggling with the rules getting in the way. I want to run a horror campaign, and I feel like D&D is my only Real option because finding players for any...

It’s been a long time since I played RPGs beyond Convention one-shots, but I have the bug to try it again. I’ve moved to a new area and know no one. While I want to run/play RPGs, the only games running here are D&D and maybe PF. I’m unwilling to play D&D/PF. II try to play it I’ll end up that...

Anybody out there? Most interested in indie systems.

Trying to track down some Dungeon PDFs from before it went completely digital. I used to own the hardcopy of two, before they were lost in a move, and I know the third one was in Dungeon issue #50, which was posted on WotC's site in PDF form. The specific adventures are the Victor St. Demaine 3...

As a DM, the older I get, the lazier I get, and one type of product that I have grown to love are gaming products that are nothing more than lists of liittle details to toss into a game. It could be a list of garbage you find in a dungeon room, to a list of various dungeon entrances, to exotic...

I have a habit where I'll remember a single element of something - a name, a scene, an image - and I will obsessively hunt for it until it's found. Well, it's happened again, and in this case it's a single encounter. The encounter is a single encounter, a side-trek or stand-alone lark. The...

What programs are out there to handle tabletop online, and which are Good? I mean, WotC was talking about their own years ago, but I never heard much about it. My old standby has been MapTools, but it's a bit of a pain to design stuff and their Looking For forums seem rather quiet. I'm curious...

I've been absent, became a Fate fanboy/gave up on RPGs. But, occasionally, you want to kick in the door, slay some monsters, and do it with Encounter powers while wearing a role. (Or imagine you do while having the book in a shelf, not playing). So, older editions of D&D got Castles and...

There's a local convention this weekend and 95% of the games are Pathfinder Society games. Do I need to show up with a character in order to play, or do these games come with characters pre-made for this purpose? Because I don't own any PF stuff.

I was wondering, are there any resources out there for one-shot game designs? What I would really like is something like a list of some scenarios that you could drop a system on top of and go. There are some systems I want to try out, and the best way to do that is to do a one-shot. But my...

Ran across this article and thought it not only would help me, but might help you: http://lookrobot.co.uk/2014/01/06/three-game-plot-make-actual-game-happen/

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum. Ari Marmell, ENWorld's Mouseferatu, has had some very bad luck in RL and in need of some help. More info at his blog here: http://mouseferatu.com/index.php/blog/i-need-your-help/

Nailed to a tree: Gronk say he the biggest strongest. Gronk use lifts in boots and padded armor. No trust Gronk. Vote Torgh. Torgh give mercy to elves. Torgh weak. Are you weak? No! Vote Gronk!

I'm designing a board game, and need both a review of what rules I have, and assistance with some elements I haven't been able to address. Yes, I know about Boardgamegeek.com, I posted there, but have not received as much help as I would like - besides, ENWorld is my go-to place. So, the game...

PUt this in the wrong forum.

What clever tactics or ideas have your players come up with to address a challenge? My new group came up with some great ideas this past session. They were in a city that was assaulted from within; an ancient tower with the magical equivalent of the Borg was opened, and the guys inside began...

So I just started running a game for a new group, and one of the players comments to me, "We are a group of analytical guys. We love puzzles." And I just sort of blanked. Because I am not a puzzle guy. So ENworlders, can you recommend some good ones? Typical 'solve to unlock door' puzzles...
