Greetings, gentles. I've been playing SWSE quite happily for a few months now, but I've found I'm stuck for ideas. I need help for a dungeon. Setting: Old republic, the Mandalorian Invasion has just begun. A group of sith-like black magicians called the Krath have had some plans to destroy...

Greetings, all. A strange event occured recently; I recieved an email from my yahoo group messageboard from a random person wanting to play. Logically enough I asked a few questions - how old, what games did they like, that sort of thing - and got back a message that it was a 14 year old and...

Well, I just had a very successful Star Wars Saga game; lots of combat, investigation, and so on and even (Yes!) buddy banter, and leaving some nice plot hooks for the next adventure. Just a question - one of the characters, a Jedi focusing on Force powers and the like was wondering if he could...

Hi guys! I'm going to run a game this weekend and one character wanted to be a custom droid. I'm wondering how to do this idea - Basically, one of those blue think tanks (Touch-coma?sp) without the giant pod on the back that people sit in from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. This...

Hi everyone - there's little that bothers me about the latest star wars, but theres just one thing. How do we make the Dark Side more tempting? I know it's tempting to use force thrust and so on against people, but I'd really like a mechanic where calling on fear/anger/whatever is at first...

Hey guys. I picked up The Ragged Edge some time back, and its a fairly awesome if difficult module (IMO). It basically leads on from The Cold Equations. I haven't picked that up yet, and I'm just wondering if TCE was a worthwhile intro adventure. I've never run a B5 game before, but don't want...

Hey guys. I'm just wondering - is there any reason at all to trip in True 20? It seems to give no decent bonus to the tripper; the fellow will be up again before you can get the bonus, and unless I'm blind theres no Improved Trip - trip and get a free attack or anything. Am I blind, or did...

I was just reading the Anime thread and a poster mentioned that there's a generation gap in RPGs - the older gamers being S+S junkies and the newer ones being anime/LOTR visual junkies. I was just thinking - are games changing due to this generation gap? Do we have a marked explosion in a more...

Hey guys, I'm asking for help. I've had half my players cancel for my normal game due to life issues. (Bodgy life never helped anyone.) Anyway I went out of my brain and said I'd do a one shot star-wars game with three PCs. Plot so far - A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY... 3...

Hi guys. I've been playing a little Jade Empire and I'm interested in a bit of asian-styled fantasy. Could anyone recommend me to anything in particular? D20 or otherwise? I'd really like a system that emulates different martial styles well. You know.. My Storm Dragon will defeat your Rising...

www.fantasyflightgames.com You guys know Midnight, right? Sort of Lord of the Rings gone Morgoth won? I just looked on the site above and found that theres an independant movie set in the midnight setting. Being on dialup I didn't bother downloading the previews, but I was rather suprised to...

I'm out of good ideas. After two highly successful Midnight campaigns lasting for about 2 months each (Crown of Shadow and a further 5th-8th campaign dealing with a plague carried by tainted water) the PC's have hit a few of the prestige classes and have had a few weeks off. My plan was to...

If anyone can clear this up for me I'd be grateful. A gunmage can apparently channel a spell into a rune bullet, which does extra damage. However, does the spell go off normally, or does the spell energy just go strait into the damage? I.e. Gunmage channels a third level spell into a rune...

Hi all. I'm sort of at a loss. After a long journey and adventure through some forests and hidden temples, spider-sages, and hostile elves in a plague ridden land, my PC's will find out that the reason for the plague itself is a ritual cast by a powerful sage in the lands of the ice-elves on a...

I'd like some help dealing with a particular PC. Or player. Now, I'm not dealing with this in a sheer RP sense. He's nothing more than a 4th level fighter with a greatsword. I do use the armour as DR rules, which works well enough. He does have rather good armor (Which I contrive off him as...

Well, like many people it seems there comes a time when there's a player issue. Let me explain. After finishing a successful WoT campaign (!?) which was our first successful complete campaign in about two years, due to another GM entering the picture and he being a beer-and-pretzels type of...

I ran most of the first part of Age of Worms the other day. I had a group of less than average size but made up by giving them an extra level. I had been planning to have to up the encounters on the fly. I didn't need to. I had two character deaths and several all out retreats so many times...

Having read the Cape post, I suddenly realised that the players in my game pay very little attention to clothing unless they are charisma types anyway. I wonder. Realistically, everyone wants to look good despite telling themselves they don't care what others think. A three-piece suit makes...

Picked up Midnight and the Crown of Shadow campaign. I'm very impressed with the style and feel of the game, but Crown of Shadow has for me got it's nose all over the place. (Well, it does try to be all over the world and all. but..) I don't know. I like the adventure, and I like it's feel, sort...

What is the preferred mood in your game? Examples; gritty and depressing survivalism, chipper and cheesy optimism. Which particular mood do your players really, really go for? Lately, my group have gone down the darker path; Personal honour/security vs. what is right is the main theme, and...
