The Stalker roleplaying game has finally been released in English. Originally written in Finnish and released in 2008 by Ville Vuorela, the game is based on Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's classic science fiction novel Roadside Picnic and published by Burger Games. It is the first game to feature...

So, anyone else here playing Pathfinder Society? I've been running the campaign in Finland with some other DMs ever since Season 0 started a year ago. Thus far, we've run over 70 sessions, with an active player pool in the low thirties. I'm also on my third character, thus far, after my cleric...

A friend of mine happened to mention that some time ago, he played an adventure module where the party of D&D adventurers are transported to New York to find an artifact. What little he remembered was that they first appeared in some kind of park or a golf course, and met a bunch of helpful...

I started this campaign some three weeks ago, when only three people showed up for my seven-man Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play campaign. For the second week running. I drew some quick conclusions about this, drafted one new player immediately over IRC and then proceeded to improvise a lead-in to an...

Some seven years ago, a bunch of Finnish kids started doing a spoof film of Star Trek. Then, somewhere along the way, Babylon 5 got mixed in. Then they finished the movie, a few years later than they intended but with some pretty spiffy special effects. It was released on DVD last month and...

Another guy in Finland has Eberron. Namely, me. And I tell you, boys and girls and you three somethings in the back, that it is Good. I've owned the book for about five hours now, so I haven't had an opportunity to give it a deep read, but one thing I tell you... Overall, it's got the best art...

So, I was on a Planescape binge, and my normal group had disbanded for a holiday. I was getting gaming withdrawals. Shivering, covered in cold sweat, I did the only thing I could. I started a campaign on IRC. A Planescape campaign. A campaign that is played at 2am, my time. What a geek wouldn't...

Calling players for an online Planescape campaign, to start on Friday the 27th of March, at midnight GMT. The server is PsionicsNET (chat.psionics.net, port 6667), channel #primeplanarpower. I'll be using some rules variants from Unearthed Arcana: Armour as Damage Reduction and Vitality/Wound...

Okay... As some of you know, the tenth RopeCon, the biggest Finnish gaming convention, was held this weekend. I had a lot of fun. My con report can be found in another thread. Now, during the con, Jonathan Tweet, one of the three main designers of D&D 3E, and the writer of the upcoming...

My second prestige class. I find myself liking doing these... Bone Dancer "The head bone's connected to the leg bone, the leg bone's connected to the hip bone, the hip bone's connected to the arm bone." - Dem Bones The sight of a bone dancer in battle is fearsome. Shimmering out of focus...

This prestige class was inspired by playing WAY too much Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance the other day. The flavour text isn't entirely according to the game storyline, but to make it so would've meant naming the class something else, and I think "Ice Warrior", "Frost Monk", and "Cold Ninja" are...

While I realise that not many EN World folks are going to show up, we have just enough people from Northern Europe around to warrant this thread... So, who's gonna show up to RopeCon in August? It's the 8th-10th weekend, and held at the Dipoli Conference Center, in Espoo, this little flea-speck...

Well, the Oscars ceremony has started. As was the case last year, there is an IRC channel on chat.psionics.net for real-time commentary, snide remarks, and cursing the commitee for not picking TTT, #oscars. You are all welcome to join us there. Granny's rules are in effect.

So, I'll be going to Dublin, Ireland for a few days with my mother, leaving on the 14th and staying for... a few days. I was wondering if any of you Enworlders would have any ideas of where to go, what to see, and where are all the gaming stores. We have already some museum trips planned, but we...

Slarzog White Belt Wins/Losses: 0-2 Powers: None Items: None Yen: 2 The orc Slarzog steps to the arena, bellows out his challenge, and thumps his chest with his fist. I find your gardener to be like unto a horror, your church to be puny, and your glare to be awful.

I had the idea of running an anime-themed one-shot game a while back, and whipped this one up, adding one to the worryingly large pride of feline character races floating about in the net. So... Does this work? Are the stats balanced? Have I created something so utterly bad that I must bury my...

Yes, the chapter you've all been waiting for is here, as the ship trip takes an unexpected turn! Come, read, enjoy! Warning: The story contains some stuff that's a wee step nastier than the average. Reading not recommended for minors, pregnant (wo)men, people with history of mental illness, the...

Okay, so I was bored. I whipped up stats for Rurouni Kenshin. You know, from the anime series. I think I did a reasonably good job, too. The enchantments in his sakaba are there to reflect the tricks Kenshin did and his fighting style, not because the sword itself was magical. These stats...

So... This is the sort of deformity that crawls out of my brain at three o'clock in the middle of the night, when I've had far too little sleep, and far too much tea, and have a new template (By EpicNichar) to play with. I know I've probably I've messed up with the rules, and corrections are...

This is my new story hour. Yeah, I know, the last one didn't work out, but that was because I delegated the writing of chapter 1 to a player, and you know what lazy buggers they can be. But, now, the players elected we start a new campaign, again in the Warhammer World, and who am I to object...
