My account has involuntarily switched to viewing ENWorld in Light Mode, and I cannot change it back. I can’t even switch to “Default”.

Inspired by RangerWickett’s venerable “Campaign In A Nutshell” thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/campaigns-in-a-nutshell-adventures-in-a-sentence.102706/ I’m starting this thread to create a system/genre-neutral resource for those seeking organizations they can use in their own...

I’ve been playing since ‘77, and I’ve gotten to try most of the D&D stereotypes across the various editions. My fave so far has been 3.X, because of the flexibility. As 3.5Ed ran its course, I started playing odder and odder characters, built using unusual classes & races. I haven’t gotten to...

I’ve tried posting a link to a new thread in order to break out a topic from the main one. But I keep getting an “Oops!” message. The link cannot be posted. I tried posting it here, and get the same error message. The link in question is to the “Enworld’s Electric Bards’ Gear etc.” thread in...

Do you play electric guitar? Electric bass? Synthesizer? Theremin? ReacTable? Here’s a place to talk about it. Post pictures your gear and your practice space! Brag! Ask questions about future purchases! To open… This is my Dean Special Select EVO, one of my first 2 electric guitars...

Just saw this, and agree with the commentator:

…but I know my 2 favorite classes- the Psychic Warrior and the Soulknife- are flawed. I still play them & build future potential PCs using them. I like the others, too, but I almost always choose one of these two. I have 2 questions: 1) Besides Hyperconscious and assorted Dragon Magazine...

So i had this idea of making a Troglodyte Paladin. Paladin builds aren’t new to me, but I’m wondering what things I can do on the TROG side. I can think of some Templates, of course, but I’m saving that for last. I’m looking for Feats, racial class levels, and that kind of thing.

Towards the middle of this thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/naming-fey-characters.694874/ I started thinking about The Green Knight from the old Arthurian tale with Sir Gawain. In this thread, I’d like to brainstorm a 3.5Ed warrior PC that does him a bit of homage. For those...

In my life, I’ve had to deal with the estates of several people, in both a personal and professional capacity. Of all the several passings, few of the people had a will. And that’s a problem. Wills are not the only end-of-life document out there, nor is one the solution for all potential...

Just saw this on CNN this morning:

Sometime last year, I designed a 3.5Ed PC who was centered around taking those Fey Heitage feats plus a few other wildcards. I figured out most of the mechanical details, but- strangely for me- I’m having trouble settling on a good NAME. Everything I’ve come up with is too much of an inside...

Scientists have succeeded in getting elkhorn coral to produce offspring in aquariums, meaning it’s possible they could slow or reverse their die-off in the wild. If so, this could be a game changer for rejuvenating reef systems...

This might get me to go: THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING (MGM Studios)

Y’all, I haven’t been here but for a few minutes since the 8th or 9th. Sorry to anyone trying to communicate with me in that period. None of it is personal- May and June had already been an adventure and I had a whole bunch of additional stuff hit the fan simultaneously a week ago, and...

One thing I’ve noticed and done is modeling PCs after existing superheroes or using superheroic archetypes in non-supers games. The same happens with Pulp & Western heroes as well. For example, I cannot count how many threads I have seen modeling Batman for D&D. (Usually as a Ranger, but not...

After some serious digging around, I finally found some of my old notes on designing a Fantasy HERO campaign for Magic: the Gathering. I abandoned it because nobody in my game group was interested in learning HERO. But over the intervening years, several people I’ve talked to about this were...

30 or so years ago, a brilliant little meditative puzzle game called Heaven & Earth was released, first for PCs, then for Macs. It had 3 types of activities: Illusions (where you rearranged tiles on your screen to match the provided image), a pendulum you nudged to hit targets, and a...

…that uses opposed pools of die rolls- high rolls wins, tie goes to the defense, 1s being a failure- to resolve skills, but using various die sizes? Point buy based. To clarify: much like certain board or war games, the player & DM would roll dice, High roll wins. But not only does each side...

…and I picked up the Starfinder Armory, Character Operations Manual, and 2 copies of the Core Rulebook (1 hardcover, 1 softcover). Any recommendations on what other supplements that are good/essential for running a Starfinder campaign? Any you’d recommend avoiding? (Give reasons, if you...
