Apologies to Edwin Starr for the thread title. So, charisma - is it more trouble than it is worth? Many game systems don't have a CHA stat and handle how the PCs interact socially with the world in other ways, often more abstract. Others have no stat, but still have skills or abilities which...

Gokan spread the last of the rose petals on the surface of the pool, bowed deeply, then rose from his kneeling position and retreated 3 steps. For almost 20 minutes he had conducted the ritual of Chu An Shi, an entreaty to the water spirit that inhabited this particular pool to allow the...

Gaibrial's fingers felt along the top of the workbench until they hit the wrench he needed. Head down in the engine bay of Mike Jones' pickup, he grabbed the tool and started tightening a bolt holding the front suspension arm in place. Once he was sure it was snug, he carefully pulled himself...

RG for all characters in the game. This includes default personas (in PACE format, 7 points over 3 descriptors), plus individual incarnations suitable for each episode (i.e. game system specific). NPCs and 'companions' may also feature.

This thread is for discussion of Grufflehead's 'eternal champions' game, featuring Leif, Mowgli and GlassEye. Some spaces may open up on a limited basis (see details posted for how this might happen), but anyone with an interest in the concept and/or useful suggestions/knowledge are welcome to...

Try the right forum this time! Bless me father, I have sinned: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is one of only 3 movie DVDs I own, and I happen to really like it. So I was browsing a thread about Pulp Heroes and of course I had to put my oar in. One thing led to another and I remembered...

Doh, wrong forum - moved to Talking the Talk. If a passing mod happens to see this, would you, you know, sweep it under the cyber-carpet?

After many long hours of research, I think I have finally perfected the ritual to summon the Elder Gods and lay waste to this pitiful ball of rock. I imagine it taking several days to complete, during which time I can't afford to be distracted by computers and other trifles. If all goes...

The note you had received had been cryptic, but the intent clear: '...grave threat to the realm...', '...Rositania's finest sons and daughters...', '...all due haste...'. So you had dropped everything and come to this rendezvous, in the bustling market town of Merryvale, on the banks of...

Characters for the playtest here please. As this is an open playtest to get everyone familiar with the rules, all characters go here even though I might split them into groups for the game.

I'm looking for a list that I'm sure I saw here fairly recently of the Top 30 (may have only been 20) RPG adventures of all time. I think Masks of Nyarlathotep might have been #1 and I'm sure I6:Ravenloft and probably S1:Tomb of Horrors were in there too. I've looked back over 20 odd pages in...

EDIT: Game rules and info here OK, I've sponged off the GMs here long enough, so time to take my turn in the metaphorical barrel and offer up a game of my own. Now don't ask me where this brainwave sprang from - my usual source is eating cheese before bedtime but this seems to have emerged...

Fellow wise ENWorlders A few years back I briefly played an RPG (fantasy IIRC) where the combat was resolved with a series of cards (possibly only as a prelude to dice rolls, I really can't remember) with the result determined by the stat/skill of participants. There were around 4 or 5, along...

Hey all Fuelled by watching the first 3 seasons of Alias while on holiday, I'm inspired to run a conspiracy type game. I've just acquired ConX edition first Ed which I like bits of but found somewhat confusingly written in places, and I've got D20 modern as well, but I want a break from D20...
