For me, Classic Traveller and AC/DC - Long Way To The Top

I'm going to be playing in a campaign of Chaos-worshipping, power armor-wearing, bolt gun-shooting futuristic warlords. In the course of creating my character for this game, I had to come up with a name. I found several names. Here are some of the best. See if you can guess the common thread...

I need adventure seeds for a group with 3-6 players, none of whom have gamed before.

Suppose that I, as a player in your game, decided to choose as my primary weapon a sturdy oak plank about 3" wide, 1-1/2" thick, and 3' long, with several iron spikes driven through one end, a hole in the other end with a loop of rope to swing it by, and the name "ANNELISE" (the Scandinavian...

D&D = Characters having Adventures. Character = (fictional) Living Being. Life = Eventual Death. Adventures = Excitement. Excitement = Risky. Risk = Eventual Loss. Fun of Adventure = (Excitement)*1 Time remaining before Loss = (Remaining Lifespan)/(Risks Taken) Therefore, if D&D = Fun...

Adventure Time is a cartoon created by Pendleton Ward and produced by Frederator. The show is set on Earth "after the bombs have fallen and magic has come back into the world". It features really weird monsters and weirder people, several mutants, some magicians, dungeons, D&D references...

It sounded like a good idea at first. I thought that I might be able to just house-rule out the stuff I don't like and house-rule in stuff I do, and get something not too far from the system. Looking around, though, I really don't think it will be possible to unite the fractured fanbase this...

Encounter Critical was a science fantasy RPG published in the late seventies on a school mimeograph, and playtested and illustrated entirely by the authors' gaming group. The only reason anybody remembers it is this post. This play report caused the game to be blogged about by Jeff Rients and...

The general assumption is that old-school gamers are entirely Gamist and Simulationist in the GNS typology, but I think that there is definitely something to be gained by injecting a bit of Narrativism into the game. Simulationism teaches that people like to believe the game, and that in order...

I go to 'edit profile picture', I click the 'browse' button next to 'upload from your computer', I click 'save changes', and nothing happens except that the field goes blank. I've made sure my picture is the right size and pixel count, I've tried .jpg and .png versions, but it still doesn't...

This is a homebrew assassin class I made for Rules Cyclopedia/BECMI/BX. I wanted it to have 36 levels, while still following the balance shown in 1e and Advanced Edition Companion. I also wanted to distance it from the thief class- I mainly wanted to REPLACE the thief, which is essentially...

Bear in mind that this post is largely based on my own moral upbringing, which is non-church-going judeo-christian as dictated by parents who love Bob Dylan and the Grateful dead, flavored with Tolkien, Dennis Schmidt, Joss Whedon, Heinlein’s ‘the moon is a harsh mistress’, south park (gradually...

I was trying to make a paladin NPC the other day, and I realized that there was just no way to allow compatible full-plate and two-weapon fighting without seriously Nerfing my character. When I started thinking about it, the two-weapon fighting rules are unbalanced, and extremely unrealistic...

I didn't really know how the forum worked before, so I accidentally posted this in pathfinder rpg discussion (dorp). I'm looking for about 4 players who can provide an engaging character with a detailed background, APG/core only, no Alchemists, Master chymists, or drow. I prefer to keep track of...

Starting a play-by-post campaign, going to run straight from level 1 on up to 20 hopefully. will be running self-created adventures (maybe stealing a plot hook here and there from OD&D or 1st ed) unless I am absolutely forced not to. if you want to play, Email me and I will send back your stat...
