It was noted in the front page news back in December, but I wanted to re-share the Ehdrigohr RPG Kickstarter. Rules-wise, it's based on FATE Core, but it's really the fluff that draws me in. It's a decidedly non-Eurocentric take on a fantasy RPG. I've seen it described as a mashup of Lord of...

Hey folks, I'm in the south SF bay (aka Silicon Valley) area for the summer, away from my normal gaming group. I was hoping to find some pickup gaming. I'm particularly interested in finding a 4e group to help me learn, since my normal group plays 3.5/PF. Thanks!

I moved to Seattle relatively recently, and was hoping to find some 3.5 or Pathfinder gaming. I'd also be up for SWSE.

I was one of those gamers who was initially really excited about 4e, because I recognized some failings in 3e. I looked at Star Wars Saga Edition (which was mentioned as being a prototype for 4e in the early days after the announcement), and was really excited: it managed to make a...

Yesterday on the train ride home, I was musing about some comments I'd read around here about how the changes in 4e were in response to preferences noted in customer surveys, etc. I think the particular comment I read said that people usually identified finding new magic items as something fun...

So I just got accepted to graduate schools in Seattle, Houston, and Urbana-Champagne, IL. Of course there are lots of elements in making such a decision, but I thought I'd query the collective wisdom of ENWorld to find out which of the above has a decent gaming scene. I know the...

RangerWickett posted this in the Grand To-Do List thread. Not wanting to hijack his thread, I'm pulling it out here for discussion. I too have always wanted to either play or DM a game like that. The Explorer's Handbook particularly made me want to run it. So my question to ENWorld: Have...

So I missed the deadline for RPG Superstar, so I'm asking for your help: how would you price this item?

I've noticed recently various discussion where people are saying that they want their campaign worlds to be more firmly rooted in real world mythology/folklore/culture. For example, see the current thread about fey, and lots of discussion on the changes to the default cosmology in 4e. For me...

I was reading a textbook on programming language design, and realized that many of the issues it examines as criteria for evaluating a language are similar to the criteria involved in evaluating an RPG system. Writability: For a programming language, this means how easy for a programmer to...

I've been looking at the various rules-lite D20 variants, but repeatedly find that my desires aren't catered to by any of them. My basic dilemma is this: I want (modern) D&D, just simpler. To clarify, I want to play D&D, not another RPG. That means I'm looking for a system that approximates...

I really like the Dark Knowledge ability of the Archivist from Heroes of Horror, but don't feel that the flavor fits a divine caster as well as an arcanist. What would people think of having an arcane Archivist instead? Are there any changes that would need to be made to maintain balance?

Reflecting on the recent database catastrophe, I've been contemplating ways I could contribute to preventing future crashes. I, for one, would be willing to provide storage for periodic (monthly?) database backups. As a suggestion, we could make a monthly torrent download and allow people to...

Are there any campaign settings/roleplaying systems out there that support playing in the heroic tragedy genre? My feeling is that stock D&D doesn't support the genre very well. It encourages more of a pragmatic style of play. I'm looking more for a feeling of heroes standing up to great evil...

I made this PrC, because one of my PCs is really interested in working with House Cannith and the creation forges. I imagine them as being Cannith workers who maintain and repair the Warforged, and might even have been sent into the field during the Last War to help with Warforged maintenance...

So I'm sitting here thinking, and I had an idea for a new kind of supplement: setting fragments. Think of it like a setting that's split into sections. For instance, you could have a setting fragment for one particular take on arcane magic (for instance, a Faerun-like fragment with the Weave...
