I have an idea that I just can’t leave alone or get out of my head, so I figure I need to blog about it. This is a baroque concept for a small audience, so I’m hoping that I can get some advice on where to post / what to do with it. 5e is this incredible engine for playing in so many fantasy...

The body count in D&D really bums me out, especially when it comes to my players (my kids). The kill count of an adventurer who makes it to level 20 is only one seen by a small number of machine gun operators in modern times. Soldiers who kill in war have high incidence of PTSD and other...

I was looking for great random tables, to fall back on when I DM. Stuff beyond the DMG When I search the web the blogs are so many but not grouped or ranked. Even “best of” lists are all over the place. Same for drivethrurpg. But it doesn’t have to be random tables. How do you approach the...

I keep getting these notifications that I have private messages, but then they turn out to be for something called Paycheck where I apparently have 5 gold pieces. How do I turn these off? I don't want to disable Private Message notifications entirely.

A game I'm planning is set in a world where some of the terrain is unstable - the distant mountains of the evening might have drifted by morning. The hexes are like a school of fish near the surface - sometimes one will disappear from view or appear from 'below'. Does anyone know of good...

Can I get Ryan Stou'n changed to Ry? I'm known as Ry now in most corners of the internet now.

Hi guys, when I look at several pages (including the Meta forum page, but not the post-a-message page) I see broken image tags. They look like this (example is me on my subscribed threads page, my favorite EN World page of all): http://ryswebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/RysDesktop.jpg

Hi... I think this was fixed for me before but something happened after my username was changed. Back in one of the crunch times I for Community Supporter account status that should have left me good through the end of Oct 2012. I paid for 2 more years @ 1/2 off on Mon, Oct 12, 2007. This was...

I've been away a while, playing lots of games, but not much d20. What's going on in terms of all things d20? I'm especially curious about licenses and digital offerings. Is there any sign of the virtual tabletop yet? How's Paizo doing?

Hi guys, I haven't posted in a while. I asked for a name change request a few years ago because I wanted to meet more gamers in person. That worked out OK but I find I'm a little too googleable now. Could I ask for a name change to "Ryan Stou'n" ?

All I want is a big stack of good wilderness encounters for the heroic tier. (good means with a map, and some terrain that isn't just flat plain or equivalent) I can't find them at WotC (paging through Dungeon mags articles that don't tell you level until you're in the .pdf, with mostly...

I'm putting together a kind of heroic tier handbook thing for my players, and I was wondering if someone could help me with a latin/greek translation of: The Book of Iron Heroics iroas-sideros-nomicon ? The Book of Forbidden Heroics iroas-koluo-nomicon ? Latin would be cool too, if it sounds...

Can someone tell me why I'd rather one over the other? I'd really like to hear both sides, figure what improved, what got clunkier in Pathfinder.

I paid up for 4 years in advance... now I have nothing... c'mon guys, I already posted in the other thread AND e-mailed morrus directly. Could someone please fix this?

Are there any powers of level 12 and lower that modify the critical range (i.e. crit on nat 19 & 20 instead of just nat 20)?

Can anyone suggest a good way to get a private forum for a campaign? I'm running a drop game and it would be super handy.

Hey, here's a habit I'm proud of breaking: Asking too little of my players. I'm just back from a 3-hour character creation session where we really didn't do any stats. This is for game I'm writing for a rotating player base (so I'm doing both GMing and game design to get it in place). My...

Wow, I finally got down to reading Murchad's Legacy, which I picked up just because it was 100% OGL. I REALLY like it. The opening anectdote, the adventures, everything is really good. The art and layout is comparable to pretty much everything from circa 2001-2002 in the d20 publishing glut...

Calling all setting critics! I need advice. My next campaign will feature a lot of player-created stuff; allies, enemies, contacts, background events, and so on. Heck, they might even end up creating countries and historical events, if I can get them to. What setting would you use as a base...

Is it possible for a Warlock to cover the rogue role in a party? We're starting 2nd level for a game of Tomb of Abysthor.
