I feel bad right now. Currently, the gaming business is bad in my area. The FLGS I go to is the oldest in the city. Nearly ten years it has stood across from a university and by a plethora of fast food restaurants. New management and relocation in the year 2001 resulted from the then shop owner...

From what I've heard is that WotC shelved the idea, let it collect dust until third party publishers wanted to buy it, then decided that "Hey, you know, based on the bids we're getting from publishers like Green Ronin, we might be able to make some money off of this." But that's from what I've...

Thanks for the response. Voadam, I completely forgot about Pluto. The article I read in pantheon.org said that he was the Roman concept of Hades. Here's another quick question: Is Baba Yaga mentioned in BoVD?

[Edit: My attempt to put another perspective on the thread topic has resulted in a completely biased reply that contributes nothing to little to the discussion. I apologize for my remarks regarding this issue. I hope that there are no hard feelings. I hope you understand my point of view and...

I've been interested in the Ghostwalk campaign setting, and in all of the reviews/interviews I've read about it, they make references to Orcus. I understand that Orcus is the Roman equivalent to Hades, but was he published in some earlier product of some kind? I was just hoping someone would...

I was planning to run it during the Rise of the Empire Era, but I'm not 100% sure yet. I'm going to have at least 2 players. I have 2 more willing to play, but they are not definite and could decide not to play at any time. I'm guessing the classes will be a scoundrel and/or noble and a...

I had originally decided to run a d20 Modern game with this idea, but instead I'm going to run it Star Wars. It takes place on Coruscant, and the PCs are introduced to the crime underworld there. They are assigned such mission duties as assassinations, ship stealing, blackmailing, laundering...

I've been thinking of a game, kind of a Dope Wars meets Grand Theft Auto (I know that sounds irritating. I hate it when movie ads say things like "It's like Treasure Island meets Star Wars"). Anyways, it takes place in a crime-influenced Spencer City, where law is corrupt and you can only rely...

I'm planning on running a d20 Modern Cowboy Bebop campaign that takes place in the year 2075. I need suggestions for stuff that might exist in that time period. I'm talking about items, appliances, electronics, clothes, trends, music, movies, vehicles, video games. Basically everything and...

I'll probably be DMing the group. For my first game, I want to run my Morrigea game. I've posted that here before, but Morrigea is a dark and depressing game that takes place in a world that has no sky. A powerful being only known as Vaiden placed a magical barrier between the earth and the sky...

I need a name for a role-playing group. I've decided to leave my old one and start a new one. At the gaming store I frequent to, there is an RPG registry where role-playing groups sign in. Most of the groups in there don't accept new members, and the ones that do usually play White Wolf or GURPS...

Violence: In my games, I use different types of violence for different moods. Usually, if I want a 'heartless' view towards the thought of violence, I'd have it happen "off-camera", so to speak. When I describe violence, it usually means that the players are in big trouble, and they've caught...

I just got the ELH and I'm a little disappointed to find that most of the classes were slapped together with extra feats. Spellcasters get to know, cast, and make more spells as they progress in levels while the other classes are stuck with feats that will eventually become meaningless. I know...

I play for several reasons. One is too escape from this reality (which is full of hatred and melancholy) and into the warmth of an alternate world. I also like to use my imagination in campaigns. I enjoy seeing others admire my use of creativity. But the most important reason for why I play D&D...

Movies: I can't believe no one's said "Cube". That movie is a good example for depseration. "Fight Club" could also be interpreted into a CoC game, but instead of Project Mayhem, Tyler was trying to create a cult that worshipped one of the gods (I think, however, that this may be a cheesy idea)...

Irony Games at irony.com has a tool that lets you make your own calenders by creating the months, number of days in each month, phases of the moon, etc. I don't know if that might help.

In my games, I have a system for such nomenclature (depending on what the object to be named is, its origin, descriptors, and effect on the world), except for a bounty hunter campaign I'm running, in which I used the last names of musical artists for the starting cities (Kiedis, Cantrell...

I once ran a Resident Evil RPG. It was based on the "Don't Look Back" rules. The characters had to escape Raccoon City (just the generic scenario). When I bought CoC, the thought did occur to me to run an RE adventure. Then the thought occurred to me that I should run a campaign based on the...

rotten.com has an excellent selection of pictures you could use for crime scene photos. Be careful, though. You might need a strong stomach to view them.

I have several ideas for a CoC game, and I want to combine all of them into one story. Trouble is that right now I'm bad at synchronism. I'd rather have the PCs be regular people (unique but generally ordinary people) with little to no excitement in their lives than the PCs be cliched private...
