Oh definitely. This actually ties back to a root idea that Vincent has :"Lumpley-Care Principle" - anything that happens ("exists") in the fiction, in the stuff we imagine, does so because the group agrees to it. Different games work differently in how you organize that agreement- the GM...

Well, here's the thing- there's groups out there, for whom, BW's crunch is actually fun, and easy for them. Some people have an easy time coming up with interesting and consistent events in fiction and a hard time with mechanics, and some people are the other way around. You can look at the BW...

Vincent has a really good post on currency that you should probably check out on that: anyway: Things on Character Sheets (2) (Also, his archives are here, if you want to dig around: anyway: index of entries and stuff) #1 A lot of games out there have pretty weak reward mechanics, but still...

Hi, I'm also "Bankuei", the guy who wrote that post on Fictional Positioning (based on Emily Care Boss's writings). One thing that's pretty interesting to see with D&D 4E, in general, is that you'll often find that how a group handles it's Fictional Positioning is also related to how it's...

D&D pretty much ends up swinging in one of two directions- either magic is commonplace (perhaps not for commoners, but still), or it's rare. If it's commonplace, then you have a magical item economy- people are making magic items, selling them, and buying them (ditto with casting spells for...

I ran a year long IH campaign. It worked great... more fun than anything I've had with any of the 3E stuff. Obviously, looking ahead to the top end feats, we could see some stuff that wasn't finished and would need house ruling, but we never got far enough to have to deal with it. Frankly...

Hi Buzz, Actually, I didn't know of this thread until you tossed me the link. Those thoughts were from playing in a game of Iron Heroes last night at a local mini-con, plus perusing various game books at the store it was being held at, and mulling over different game experiences. But yeah- a...

The great Conjunction of a Thousand years is upon us, and the Temple of Amara has begun sending its priestesses upon a mission to make prayers and offerings at each of Amara's temples, shrines and holy sites, though most have fallen into disuse and ruin over the centuries. Brave heroes, strong...

Hi, I'm looking to form a new group, around doing short runs of games based around anime and anime related stuff. I'm in downtown Oakland, not far from Chinatown, a few blocks from BART. If anyone's interested, please email: yeloson AT earthlink DOT net. Thanks, Chris

(Bump) Still looking for 2 players for Sunday afternoons. Please contact me at yeloson at earthlink dot net. Thanks, Chris

We have settled on Sunday afternoons 1-4. Again, still looking for 2 more players. Chris

Hi Conaill, Sorry, won't be able to make it :/ I've got a friend flying in from out of town, and we're going to be kicking it the whole time. I DO have 2 committed players and a stack of emails from other interested people. Do let me know if you're interested in joining up. Chris

Also- If anyone is interested, I'm going to be at the SF D&D meetup tonight at 8pm at Caffe Espresso at 462 Powell St. in San Fran. I'm also trying to get folks to meet up on Sunday if they're interested in playing. Thanks, Chris

Hi folks, I'm looking for players to start up a new group for weekly gaming, either Weds nights(6/7-9pm) or Sunday afternoons, like 1/2 pm to 5/6-ish. I'm in my mid-20's been GM'ing a wide variety of games since high school, and enjoy a mixture of drama and action in my games. I'm looking for...

More Info: A Gate Unheld The Empire came without warning, in their ships of steel and iron, across the skies and waters- and we fought. They came with their hard soldiers, without mercy or decency, and we fought. They came with their forbidden and dark magics, their foreign gods, and we...

Hi folks, Looking for players interested in a short campaign(looking at maybe 3 months, at most), starting fresh at 1st level, high rewards for roleplaying, with action every session, and an anime feel. I'm near the BART station, and parking is freely available on weeknights and weekends. Hit...

Hi, I'm looking to form a new game group out here in the Bay Area. I'm into mostly small press games, and am looking to run a lot of short story arcs with different systems. Right now, I'd really like to run Riddle of Steel set in Legend of the 5 Rings' Rokugan, as well as get on to doing...
