    Gencon UK debacle

    mm. Apparently the bug prevails post-polite-notice. I think some people are printing their original receipts and taking those as proof of payment.

    Gencon UK debacle

    Dorkiest Thing You've Ever Done in Gaming...

    That was you? Wow, that story nearly made me wet my own self when I heard it. That's not just one of those pretend stories huh?

    Is a popular non-D&D traditional fantasy RPG possible?

    Magic the Gathering is a good example of innovation, but I wouldn't personally call it RPG. What I mean is, it could be argued that WoW, a fantasy game, outstripped D&D since it has more players worldwide, but it isn't an RPG.

    Is a popular non-D&D traditional fantasy RPG possible?

    Hm. A product that could outstrip D&D is possible, yes. D&D is, at the end of the day, only a product and no product is guaranteed success, especially if it caters to a relatively small audience. But the contender would need to be innovative (ie, traditional fantasy is not innovative), it...

    Out of Print games You Miss...

    Those little plastic box games you used to get from Steve Jackson, each of which was a self contained game. Most memorable being Awful Green Things From Outer Space. I used to collect them. That's what I used to do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Awful_Green_Things_From_Outer_Space

    [DM Question] Roll-Play or Role-Play

    I used both the instances you mentioned in a recent game. Jumping through a ground floor window required a check because the PC in question was chasing a burglar NPC who just did the same. Had he failed the roll his splendid vault through the window would have been a slight scramble and he would...

    Fellowship of the Witching Hour - Part I

    Yes, sure thing. Here's the recruiting/ooc thread http://pbphouse.com/forum/index.php?topic=1704.15 Feel free to port Sam over, or come up with something new if you prefer. It's a slightly looser game. I'm not setting it in the Witching Hour bar, but that's not to say Sam can't still be owner...

    4e is so like WoW

    I played 4e for the first time the other night and I can only agree with everyone who said the game is heavily influenced by WoW. In the first session the following events occured: The PCs headed straight for the first major city they could find then proceeded to congregate in the city square...

    Fellowship of the Witching Hour - Part I

    Lucean has dropped out of the game. I got an email to that effect today. I'm not really happy to carry on playing with just three players (and recruiting on Enworld is too long winded to start over looking for a replacement, so it's with regret that I announce the end of this game. I'm trying to...

    Is Arabella shopping for any specific items, or just general everyday shopping? Which incidents are you referring to? Can you be a bit more specific? Lucean

    Fellowship of the Witching Hour - Part I

    As IC discussion doesn't seem to be the best way to go with this, I'm moving the game forward using the zoomed-in/zoomed-out method I mentioned before (someplace in a previous thread, answering Kook's question about sharp/soft focus play). The rest of that evening is spent in polite discussion...

    FYI Enworld speak made sensible AFAIK

    I've put all the abbreviations in alphabetical order and added everyones' suggestions. I think it would be good to sticky this thread so that my name can live forever on Enworld newcomers to the forums have a handy reference.
