This was supposed to be my 7-day RPG contest entry but unfortunately it didn't add the files when I tried to upload. I tried it four times and thought it had worked in the end. I tried to write Morrus, but he's probably sleeping already? I thought I'd post here and hope that my entry post can...

We dropped out of the playtest after the first playtest packet. Not because we didn't like it - to the contrary, we were quite impressed and thought the game is on the right track. Sadly we stopped playtesting and started a campaign with a different system. Since that I haven't had the time to...

So I have been reading the latest playtest material and I’m wondering about many of the new elements included. The designers have repeatedly stated that one of their important goals is that every rules mechanic in D&D Next has a direct connection to something in the game world. I’m completely in...

So, we had our playtest last Saturday and I finally got around to write up a report. Who? Our group of me the DM + 4 players. We're all in our mid to late 20s. All of us have been playing Pathfinder in the last years and 3.5 before that. What happened? The group chose the goblin cave to the...

Opinions seem strong regarding this subject so I thought a poll would be interesting. In the playtest document there is the rule about a Long Rest. Basically when you rest for eight hours you regain all of your lost hit points and your spent hit dice. Do you like this rule or not?

Recently I found an old FLGS that still has the first Dark Sun Campaign setting boxed set and is selling it in it's original shrink wrap for the release price from '91. Now I'm wondering if I should get it as a collector's item. I have no clue if it's worth anything though. Do you believe it...

Hi, Is there a rules-light fantasy RPG that gives the players a lot of possibilities for character customization? This is always my player´s biggest complaint when I suggest playing a rules-light game (e.g. a retro-clone like Swords and Wizardry).

What would you do with a Pathfinder group in which every character has Charisma 7, telling me that with 15 point point buy you have to dump the stat (and arguing that we´re not instead playing with point buy 20)?

I had an idea for an upcoming Pathfinder E6 game. Potions and scrolls function as normal. Instead of giving out any other magic items in the usual way, consider this: There are no regular magic items in the world. Sometimes, when the player characters solve a heroic adventure, they are granted...

So I had this absurd idea about D&D and I thought "what better place to go with it than good old EnWorld?". What if there was an edition converter that allowed to convert rules on the fly and during a session of D&D (all editions)? It would be an electronic DM tool or a fat book containing lots...

Hi, I just had this random idea and I´d like to share it with you. The idea is: What if - in your favorite edition of D&D - every creature in the world, including the player characters, had exactly 1 hit point? Also, they would never gain hit points by leveling. Everything else about the game...

What´s your favourite system for Mass Combat? I´d like to include some fantasy mass combat action in the next campaign but I don´t what the best system is for it. Right now I haven´t even decided which rpg we want to play so I´m open for recommendations.

I found this book (Necromancer Games edition) in my FLGS. They still sell it for the original price but I am unsure whether I should get it. So now I´m wondering: Is it a collector´s piece and will bring me a fortune one day? Is it cool? Cheers, Rob.

So it´s like that quite often: I introduce a cool new NPC into the game. Often a funny guy or a really interesting character. Someone with a lot of thought behind, meant to give an exciting twist to the game or just to be the nice one that the player characters can depend on in the future...

Hi there, maybe someone can help me here - I´m looking for a nice set of sturdy premade tokens for our fantasy rpg group. Buying a pdf and printing them is not an option since printing is ridiculously overpriced where I live. Cheers! Rob

What I mean is the pen and paper version from Green Ronin. I recently got it and think it looks like a slick light game that I´d love to run If I could find willing players. However, I wonder if it runs as nice as it reads. How does the Dragon Dice mechanic work out in play? And will the...

I know the Pathfinder Grapple Rules (combat maneuvers) so this is not a question about how they work. I am interested to know whether you think that the rules for Grappling have been "fixed", whatever that may mean to you. Doesn´t matter if your opinion is based on actual play experience or...

I´m looking for a Thieves Guild to put into my campaign, be it from an adventure, a setting book, someones homebrew notes, whatever. The members should have some kinda special shtick that lifts them from being ordinary thieves. Also great would be a map of the stronghold of the theives (guild...

(Edit: I had to repost this thread since the title ending with the word "Print" took you to the Print version of the thread and no one could answer. Thanks to the_orc_within for telling me about this!) This goes out to OGL publishers and to fans of E6: Following the forums on enworld...

This goes out to OGL publishers and to fans of E6: Following the forums on enworld, rpg net and Paizo lately there is a LOT of buzz about E6. Threads about it keep popping up and lots of gamers write that it is their favourite variant of D&D. E6 is, in my opinion, a great system that gives...
