Over at the Augury Blog, the poster, a random gamer wrote what he wanted for the future of d&d. Now, the thing is... he wrote this LAST YEAR. for some reason, I got offended, and just started venting... And venting... and... Well, i'll shut up, and just re-post what I posted in his article...

It's Up! Three ball, corner pocket.

Okay folks, it's bull time, resurrections, and play experience. So many people kvetch about "disrupting the narrative flow" and "in the literature" that it makes me vaguely ill. I just want to know. Have you seen one? Did it really break the game? Personally, I've never seen one in play, ever.

Okay... here's the thing... My players have just finished the second "act" of my Dragonstar campaign at level 8. (It ended, as always, with a grand set piece battle. (Though this time they were the ones who were in the tank.) Sadly, we lost one PC. i only have three players in my campaign...

It certainly looks like it... Robert Zakheim's Legendary is drawn with a style very reminiscent of the Order, but instead of pen and paper, it focuses on Console games. Just thought you might be interested :)

The Newest strip And he definitively said "The elf"

Ladies and gentlemen, the single best resource i have ever seen for Honest, understandable oriental monsters. Obakemono Illustrated in a respectable style without the absurdity of Manga-art or the Final Fantasy-inspired stories. This is an incredibly complete and detailed listing of Authentic...

It started less than a month ago with a post over on Story-teller about the Secret Language of Cars. Although the icons & avatars were already leaking over, the first RPG.net discussions showed up here two weeks later. It now has it's own web-page. This could be the next step for gamers...

Hey everyone. I know this isn't a "Is this Fair?" thread, but I've got a poll anyway. I want to create a game where my players will be somewhat out of their element... 1. Toy Soldiers. The players' souls were captured by an evil wizard. They wake up as animated children's toys. (Wooden duck...

I'm trying to find an old thread, I recall that it involved people describing characters seen in artwork. It may have been lost in the big crash... What I remember was: "Fess up! Whose character is this?" Then a picture of a LARPer with a thick red beard and a big axe. And people stepped...

Pretty basic forum game: name a system, name one thing you Love about it, name one thing You Hate about it. You can do this as many times as necessary Feng Shui Love: Over-the top combats by the players in a loose, rule-light combat system. Hate: The name. I know, it's a major part of the...

My players are currently in a Sci-Fi/Fantasy Campaign setting (Dragonstar D&D in spaaaaccceee). They happen to be clones of a team of crack infiltrator operatives, who were supposed to keep their memory tapes updated, but conveniently avoided doing as such for almost two years because the...

My current players seem quite happy with the world i've created: not because of it's originality (it's pretty blatantly ripped off) but they are enjoying the little noncombat encounters I toss in every day. In the last campaign session, the players had to make a three-day trek from the...

My players are in a campaign right now where they are disguised as military personelle to infiltrate a specific place... i don't feel like playing fast and loose, so if any of you can help me... 1. Does a Sgt. at Arms outrank a: (First Sgt, Gunnery Sgt. Regular old Sgt.?) 2. What is the lowest...

Warning: The following post is nearly all me kevetching about a gaming group i'll probably never play in again. I should have known that there was a problem when I arrived at the game store and found out that one of the players was banned from entering. The GM strikes me as being a nice guy...

Okay, after running a very successful Feng Shui campaign for a few weeks, while talking shop with my players, I let it be known that I had Dragonstar, and had allways wanted to play it, but had never found a group to play it with. Problem: the game is tonight, and my players just called me...

Hey folks I'm sure that by now everyone has been in at least one bad group. Well, right now, i'm in a bad one, I've seen all the warning signs. -Characters that are conversions from 1st edition (Did they have half-orc monks in 1st edition?) -Gross difference in effective party member's...

I saw this posted on another message board, and it got me so riled up that i had to repost it over here and disect the stupidity of it point-by-point. That is because there are more pizza places than there are hospitals. And it is within my experience that the speed at which a pizza arrives...

Back again with the funny! http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript C'mon, like this has never happened to YOUR party. :)

After being with several gaming GM's in the past few years, as well as playing the role of gaming GM, i have begun to determine that there are a wide variety of signs which you should be able to find ahead of time that warn you of a bad campaign, either by fault of the GM or by fault of the...
