I'm thinking about starting a campaign in the New Year. It'll be a small group playing every other week. I'd be interested in some help with seeding long-term campaign plots. For that matter, the basics of building short-term plots too, considering I don't actually know how long this campaign...

I would like an ENWorld logo in downloadable format so I can make myself a GenCon badge that identifies me. However, my computer-fu is weak and I know not how to turn the handy big logo in the top left of my screen into something I can print out. Help, please!

I’ve heard it said that a good GM is well aware of the Law of Unintended Consequences. The other way I’ve heard to look at this idea is to think of stones being dropped in a pond. There are always ripples, and you can’t always predict where they land. Unintended Consequences means, to me, that...

I know this forum is mostly American in usership, but c'mon, surely there must be someone else other than me interesting in watching the upcoming FIFA World Cup in South Africa? Kicks off in 9 days time! The England squad was announced yesterday, with a few surprises. I also heard the USA squad...

I have a 12th level Warforged Cleric of Kord in a long-running campaign (Str-based version) and I've been looking at the Runepriest as a possibility for a remake. It'd fit well for thematic reasons (we've been tying a lot of stuff in with the Ghulra runes) but having taken a shot at it via the...

Neptune's Pride This is an awesome browser game I've been playing. However, rather than me try and explain it, let me turn you over to the good people of Rock, Paper, Shotgun and their game diary: The Complete Pride And Falls | Rock, Paper, Shotgun In short, it's a slow-burning...

Hi all, Firstly, let me offer my apologies. I said I would be running an Esoterrorists game earlier in the year when I was much more enthused about it. It's not that I think it's a bad game, but it doesn't suit my GMing style and I didn't have that good a time running it previously. So - game...

I'm going to be playing in a D&D 3rd edition game on Sunday, slightly unexpectedly. I've been told to bring a 10th level character, and I'd like to bring my old Elven Cleric. And he wasn't an Archer Cleric, either, no matter how tempting it is to stat one out just to show me how good they are...

Solium Infernum is a turn-based play-by-email game that came out last year, in which each player attempts to fill the vacant Throne of Hell by devious manipulation, terror and warfare. I've been reading a fantastic account of a game at Gameboys From Hell: Solium Infernum Part 1 | Rock, Paper...

I'm looking for some help on organising myself to go to GenCon Indy this year, from the UK. I've got the dates from the website, and obviously my first step is to see if I can get time off from work, but after that... what's the lessons learned from the ENWorld community? I'd like...

I just got this for Christmas, and it looks great on a first read. Here are some handy links for background info: GUMSHOE - Esoterrorist Review of The Esoterrorists - RPGnet The Esoterrorists « The Gist @ WordPress Anyone played it or can give me any useful tips? I'm thinking about running it...

Morning all, Just logged in this morning and instead of the normal black background it's all in white, much narrower than usual and lots of the icons are missing! I'm filing a bug report! What the heck has happened? All was fine last night! Matt.

Anyone playing the new Blood Bowl PC/Xbox/PS3 game? I'm thinking about purchasing it (if my PC will run it) and playing online but I'm not sure if I'd have anyone to game with.

Next week I'm going to be starting Demon Queens Enclave with a small group in the UK. We'll have 5 PC's each week, although the number of players will vary somewhat. I am DMing. I have a simple question - anyone played it? Any advice? Any pitfalls, or encounters that turned out to be way more...

For anyone that uses Twitter I urge you to search under #dndisney for your Friday chuckles. And my own humble effort: I hope to hear some more here!

I'm going to be starting a new 4e campaign next Thursday. I've got a lot of ideas about what to do, but I'd like a few more suggestions or modifications from the ENWorld community to see where I could make some improvements. At the moment I've only got two guaranteed players, so I'm thinking of...

Starting from the 7th August, a new D&D 4e game will be starting in Mid-Sussex in Haywards Heath on Thursday nights, weekly, from 7.30pm through to 10 - 10.30pm. The setting, themes and house rules will be set by the players and DM (that's me!). I've been running a fortnightly 4e game since it...

Just logged on and saw the link on the news page about the Examiner.com interview, and when I read it I find out it's quoting me! I only vaguely remember the thread asking about the ENWorld community, but given I'm quoted along with Eric Noah, Crothian and Rel I'm in amazingly good company...

OK, so we'd already had the debacle that was Sir Keegan in Keep on the Shadowfell (for those not aware of the problem, please reference the picture below of well-known soccer player Kevin Keegan in his playing days: Now, last night in Thunderspire Labyrinth my players met Murkelmor, Duergar...

I'd like some opinions on a ruling I made last night at our game, if people wouldn't mind. Drow Ranger (archery) wanted to run forwards, bounce of the Paladin's shield, tumble high over other people and land down on a statue, pushing it over onto an Enigma of Vecna. He said that he thought this...
