I'm back in the DM saddle, preparing to run a game for my 10 year old and his friends. Very excited. I haven't DM'd in many years. At that time I had all the Paizo gaming maps, all the minis, etc. Sold them all when we moved. Decided this time I will streamline the game, put more emphasis in...

I haven't been on Enworld for almost two years... I had been DMing several games for middle school ESL (English as a second language) groups in Korea. My work changed and I only ran one game in the past couple years. I'm now going to start a new game with my son, nephew and a few friends, all...

Based on comments from posters here, I've done gone and bought Madness at Gardmore Abbey to DM. Pretty excited about receiving the box set. Like others, I wish WotC would print Siege at Gardmore Abbey. Alas. I think I'm going to try and create my own prequel one-shot campaign to give a...

I'm helping a doctorate student from Chile who is writing here thesis on using D&D to teach English as a Second Language (ESL). Great, right? Anyway, I wrote her a long message today answering a question she had about teaching D&D to an intermediate English level class - she has concerns about...

I just signed up as a community supporter. I did so b/c this is the single best resource I have found to learn and talk about the hobby I have recently come to love. I wanted to write this short thread just to thank the posters for being so helpful to the newer folks in this hobby. After a 25...

Success! We have been playing for a month in Ulsan, South Korea, every other Sunday. We have four people in our group - two from Ulsan, one from Pusan and one from Gyeongju. We're playing Pathfinder - new to all the players but we're picking it up quickly. The DM is very experienced and has...

New to Pathfinder. I've only played D&D4e and AD&D 25 years ago. I'm now on my 5th game of Pathfinder and really like it. I played twice as a half-orc rogue/fighter (who died), then played twice as a human sorcerer (who just died). Damn, this Pathfinder is deadly. So now I will play a...

I teach small ESL classes in Korea. Most classes are between 2-4 middle school students. For the past year, seven+ classes have been playing D&D twice a week. The kids love D&D and it has been great for their conversation skills. It's been an overwhelming success and we will continue playing...

I teach ESL and use D&D once or twice a week in seven of my classes. Four of these classes have just completed their campaign and I'm trying to decide what I'll be running for the next one. I've used mostly homebrews (in both Eberron and homebrewed world). For these new classes, I'm leaning...

After about a 25 year lapse, I started playing D&D again one year ago - one of my best decisions ever. I use D&D 4e in ESL classes and run seven games a week. At first, I loved 4e. But as the PC's leveled up and the power cards started increasing, I felt the joy of the new powers begin to...

Recently I bought most of the D&D Essentials line. I haven't yet played it, but I'm very optimistic about the revised builds. I'm starting a three new Essentials only games in the next few weeks and am pretty excited. Which leads me to: I went ahead and subscribed to the online CB. I've...

I've only played 4e and am excited about joining my first Pathfinder game - but I'm feeling unsettled about my character. I'd so much appreciate it if anyone could help me build my character so that I know I'm doing it right. (*I've found Pathfinder folks general love to help new players get...

My best friend just shipped this "critical hit d20" to me in Korea for my birthday. I then found this video of it on youtube and thought it was hilarious and wanted to share it with you. Be sure to check both the DM and player vids. Critical Hit D20 This dice is fun. I play with critical...

LOST: Sad Orc :( , too-bright green, funky-fuzzy torso/shirt. He is a little rough around the edges but he is loved dearly. Acts tough but is relatively harmless. REWARD if found. I recently had to reinstall my Windows. I saved my entire C: drive to an external hard drive. I was able to...

I teach ESL in Korea and play D&D in classes about 7 times a week. I've been less than inspired by 4e magic items so have usually created my own. For all magic items I give to the players, I create/print/laminate magic cards with Magic Card Set Editor. It's a great program and the cards look...

(I couldn't figure out where to post this - sorry if this is the wrong forum) I've been living in Korea for some time and have had serious problems being able to get rpg products (D&D 4e for me). Shipping for minis isn't too expensive, but books double the price, and shipping the new...

This isn't too rare of a storyline, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to find out how to set it up correctly and would LOVE some ideas, inspirations, or module recommendations. I tried to DM this campaign freer than I have in the past, but now after following the unexpected actions of the...

What are your favorite poster/battle maps? Share them here with links to photos if possible. Linking to photos of Dwarven Forge will not get you arrested by the town guard, but I'm more interested in poster maps that come with modules, map packs, etc. I'll start with a three of my favorites...

WotC's Nov 9th podcast (subscribe - they're pretty good) was about the new DDI and the Monster Vault 1 & 2 * There was a interesting bit explaining the DDI transition to web-based and it really sounded like they were on the defensive, pleading for understanding, and letting people know that...

I play/DM 4e exclusively. I'm starting to consider making a Pathfinder jump. I'm pretty ignorant about Pathfinder and just started playing 4e after a 25 year rpg absence - the last game I played was AD&D. I love the D&D 4e character builder. There is nothing like this at all for Pathfinder...
