I created a theme song for a 5E Dark Sun game I'm playing in, it's the first time I've ever done anything like this. It's in a hip-hop style, with a small amount of NSFW language. I think it came out all right. Let me know what you think! And if you like it, think about sharing it...

EDIT: I have my group, so this can be considered closed for now. A year ago, I wrote an ad on the Roll20 forums, seeking a certain kind of player. I received a lot of messages in response to that post, but at the time, I wasn't actually ready to run a campaign yet. Now, I am. So I'm going...

I'm going to be running some short 4th edition D&D adventures on Roll20, each stand-alone but tied together into a sort of mini-campaign called Sands of Slavery. It will be set in Calimshan, in the Forgotten Realms, around 1479 DR. Roleplaying will be a priority, and I'm a DM who likes to...

EDIT: I have received far more responses to this ad than I can possibly accommodate, so this should be considered closed for now. This post will be brutally, inexcusably long, so here's the TL;DR early for you. The TL;DR: I'm an experienced and passionate DM who is looking for a bunch of...

This post pertains to the Denver, Colorado area. I'd love to run a new 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons game for people who haven't played before. The focus of the game would be on teaching the basics of the rules, roleplaying, group storytelling, character concepts, the general themes and...

I'd really like to audio record the sessions of my upcoming campaign and make them an actual play podcast. I have no experience with this, however, and no recording "stuff". I'll be running these games in my home, and have a desktop PC at the table. Any advice for what kind of microphone or...

What I'd like to do is paste large blocks of text from Microsoft Word 2007 files directly into a series of posts on the Story Hour forum. When I do so, all of the formatting, like bold and italics and such, is lost. I know that I could go through and manually re-do all of that in the post...

I just want to say, I adore this place. This is an amazing site, and wonderful forums. The community here is the best I've ever seen on the Internet of any sort whatsoever. I love all of the brilliant ideas that people post here, the wonderful discussions, the intelligence, the creativity...

Hey all. I LOVE Dark Sun. Love it more than any other fantasy setting, ever. It's always been my favorite, since it first came out. I'm thrilled that WotC is releasing a new version of it for 4E. Also, I -like- 4E D&D, and play it a lot. But as I've been re-reading all of my Dark Sun...

I've looked through the Pathfinder beta book, and it looks pretty neat. I have a question, though, for those of you who played 3.0/3.5 D&D, and are now avid players and fans of Pathfinder. What's awesome about Pathfinder, compared to 3.5 D&D? What, if any, are the biggest, coolest changes...

Hi! I'm working on a custom-written campaign for D&D 4E (though the info I'm looking for is not system-specific) based very, very heavily on the theme of Aberrant creatures, the influence/infiltration of the Far Realm, and sort of vaguely Lovecraftian/Cthuluesque elements. So, lots of mind...

Here I will post my ongoing campaign notes and the basic storyline of my new 4th Edition Forgotten Realms campaign, called New Wine, Old Wineskins. Let's start with some exposition... New Wine, Old Wineskins – Setting the Stage Sir Brianthalantyrael Emberdance -- Noble...

I'm wondering if there are any good alternatives out there to D&D that I should be looking into. I have certain parameters, though: 1.) An original, built-from-scratch system. NOT a reskinning or adaptation of D20/OGL/3.x or older D&D, or of any other old school system, like HERO...

So, I have a theory. Let's see how the poll turns out. For those of you who are largely happy with 4E, especially its classes, powers system, and resource management model . . . did you typically prefer spellcaster-types or non-spellcaster-types in earlier editions? For those of you who are...

I don't like character death. Well, I do, actually. I just don't like the aftermath. I'd like to run games where there really isn't any permanent character death, where there's never a "okay, roll a new character" moment for anyone. However, I do NOT want death to be trivial, meaningless, or...

Hi folks. I thought I'd pick your collective brains for some helpful ideas regarding a few challenges I'm running into as I prepare to get heavily into playing a bunch of D&D and running games at my home. I've got three main things I'd like to ask for advice about: 1.) Miniatures. I've...

Greetings fellow gamers! My name is Josiah, and I'm planning to run at least a couple of new 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons campaigns in the very near future. I live in Littleton, Colorado, so I am looking for players who also live in the Denver area, or perhaps even Boulder or Colorado...

I'd like feedback, please. Mainly, I want to know if this critter is relatively "legit" as a level 3 minion, or what changes you'd make. Fey Owl Level 3 Minion Small Fey Beast XP: 38 Initiative: +9 Senses: Perception +10; darkvision HP: 1; a missed attack never...

Is there a particular reason why you couldn't make a solo swarm monster, or why it would be a bad idea? Has anyone tried it in a live game yet? Discuss.
