I have been reading up on Mongoose Traveller for some time now and I was wondering where the best place to look for an IRC or PBP game might be found. I would love to run one, but right now I don't have enough time to provide a weekly game for my players, but I would definately be into joining...

This is Grey. My players stay out! Anyhoo, I have a particularly nasty plot trick that the players are slowly uncovering that I am quite proud of. Figured I would come share here for some new content, maybe you can share similar evil! Okay, soh: The party has been running into these...

The 'help me describe cities' thread got me thinking. And I think 1001 threads are one of the most entertaining and useful D&D things on the webternet, so lets go. Edit: That is FICTIONAL CITIES YOU HAVE USED AND VISITED IN YOUR GAMES + A LITTLE DESCRIPTION. 1001 Cool Cities: 1. Dar'es'Balat...

The twist is a staple of all forms of entertainment, movie, books, videogames, etc. It is an incredible tool that can make a simple plot memorable and breath new life into a story. As a DM and as a player, what have been some of your FAVORITE roleplaying Tweests? DO THE TWIST

I have the luxury of gaming with a group of some of my closest friends on a regular basis (once a week), yet until my Diemsmanship crested unto this mighty internet, I did not know how lucky I really was. All the same, being a DM who tries so hard to do right by his players, I was a bit worried...

I understand that this probably should be in the story hours section of the boards, however, I didn't want to clutter up that board anymore with anything other than an actual, ya know, STORY HOUR. If I really shouldn't have put it here, I'm sorry. So sincerely sorry. Forgive me. Everyone. I beg...

EVIL VERSION Ahahahahaha! Finally, some evil plans to be had with 4e items! Okay, we get a bunch of people to wear Bone rings of preservation (AV 156), pass a milestone, then go lie in the hottest part of the desert and fail their endurance checks. Lets say we get 100 people to do this. Pretty...

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4ex/20080828b A neat idea, feels somehow a little hokey, but meh. The ring is pretty neat, and the solitaire is okay if a little formulaic.

I have long mulled over giving my players special rewards for doing something especially memorable, neat, in character, or helpful, or for just being the MVP of a session. Well, after thinking it through a while, I came to the conclusion that it would be the most exciting and fun if the...

Dark Residuum: A strange mirror of ordinary Residuum, Dark Residuum has many interesting anti-magic properties. Rarely found naturally occuring in the Shadowfell, Dark Residuum Is most often created using the Corrupt Residuum ritual. Dark Residuum has appears as a deep burnished silver dust...

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4pr/20080807a There it is, black and white, clear as crystal! I love this for a few reasons: 1. It is a silly and fun item, useful in combat, but mostly just silly and fun. 2. It shows us how pets might, and likely will, work! Its elegantly simple. 3...

I am looking to start working on my campaign handouts soon, and was thinking it would be nice if they were all formatted and nice like the one in the recent dungeon article: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dudc/20080716 What are Enworld's favorite programs for this sort of thing? Any...

A player of mine wants to play a monk, and we both feel that the ranger-> monk conversion is the way to go (with a few changes). I've started homebrewing certain feats and extra powers to give it some more monk flavor. Ill post more later. Tell me what you think. Battle Acuity Prerequisites...

I'm going to be running an encounter in a town square soon. Basically a thematic variation of the 'zombies everywhere' trope. This town can be any shape, as long as I have an area where I can pin the PCs down to make it feel like a hopeless battle of attrition. What town maps have you used...

The Desonnen Shock trooper is an elite member of the Desonnen military that possesses formidable combat and magical skills channeled through a small focus placed in the back of their hand. They fight in well crafted but decorative golden armor (not real gold, just high quality and gold colored)...

I was wondering what the general stance on posting other peoples creations (with credit given of course) to EnWiki without asking is? The reason I ask is because I love the idea of EnWiki, but when I look at a page and see it empty (or also irritatingly, with a link to a PDF download) I want to...

I'm planning on running a one session game before our main campaign where the players play as the Elven/Eladrin stock FAR in the past as the entire race is wiped out by cataclysm. During the session I want there to be elven people evacuating, screams, elven generals and leaders barking orders...

Here are some house rules for more destructive terrain I was considering. Please give me your opinions! :) Basically, this system generates a flat Object damage number to be applied to obstacles when characters or enemies push each other into them. Character Level (char doing the moving) *...

The question is simple, if you had unlimited resources to make your campaign great, and you set out to pick out two composers to write background music for the campaign, who would you pick? I would pick Philip Glass for travel and exploration scenes, negotiations etc, and John Williams for...

Red Stone is an organization in my campaign world. It is primarily criminal, but unaligned, and is fraught with plot hooks for all manner of PCs. It could be converted to any campaign setting very very easily. Give it a read through and tell me what you think! Red Stone Knowledge of Red...
