I'm pretty familiar with lovecraft already, as well as his mythology. It has been a long time since I ready it, 20+ years actually but I think I'll be ok. I found a 5.5 book on ebay. I'll start there. Thanks.:)

I'm thinking of getting into CoC as a way of bringing a few family members into RPG gaming, but with so many additions and so much material, I have no idea where to begin. Any ideas?

I gamed heavily when I was younger and then got out of it when I had a family and job, etc.. but always kept my stuff and planned to return to it someday. When I married my second and current wife I wasn't gaming and hadn't for the first number of years, so it was quite a surprise to her when...

Pretty much serious apocalyptic gaming for me. I cut my teeth on the B-movies of the 80's and 90's so gowd knows I am steeped in the post-apocalyptic cheese of the time, and that's pretty much what I am looking for in my Gamma World game, minus some of the cheese of course. A boy and his dog...

I had the first four, that all got lost in a move, but I only ever played the first and a little of the second. I'll probably end up buying the 3rd edition because it is the easiest to find on ebay and I'll still be able to use the dragon material with it. I hear 4th is the ideal edition but the...

I agree with both of you. When I had a stable, large group that actually knew the rules themselves and owned their own books and learned on their own, I never played a character while DMing, for the reasons you both mention. Unfortunately I don't have that luxury and am the sole educator of the...

In this case, what happened was I had two sons playing and our friend. The two sons played half orc fighters and my friend a druid, who's race escapes me at the moment. When the youngest son got board (he's six so I was expecting this), his character went to the teenager who was playing both...

Back when I was running Pathfinder for my son and a friend of mine, I thought we were a little short on characters, and so rather than put another character on new players I ran one myself. I know some GM's do this and some frown on it. I really hadn't up til then, but I liked it and I think...

You make a lot of good points but i was going to use the skills from Pathfinder as NWP's and I was also going to allow the knowledge skill since my campaign is going to cover multiple settings and I want the characters to earn those skills as they play rather than choose them at creation. I...

Oh I know, it's nuts the prices they ask sometimes. I just want to play it you know? They act like it's got gold trim or something. Every now and again I can find someone on ebay who really has no idea what it is and I can get it at a good price. Not often enough though.

I owned the very first edition of Gamma world back in the day and played the second edition a few times, but we never really progressed much beyond that point. Now I've been looking around the Internet to see what edition I would want to get to play some adventures with my sons and I'm not sure...

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely be checking it out. I couldn't possibly agree more with every point you made. You definitely summed up why the pathfinder books went back on the shelf a few weeks back and I have been scouring ebay looking for 2e stuff that I don't have or used to...

That's true and you make a good point, but I'm taking my campaign to a level where other worlds are familiar with each other, including athas, which I am kind of treating like a 1970's USSR, iron curtain kind of thing where the pc's will have to be covert, conceal their identities and their...

Ok, but what I need to find out is do I need to have the original to play. Up til now it seemed as though I don't but some are saying I do. The original box sets are pretty pricey, even on ebay, and I'm not buying it if I can play with the revised set I already have. I'm not so much concerned...

I'm working on putting together an adventure that would take my players from grayhawk, through a spelljammer adventure, into an Al-quadim adventure and then on to Athas eventually and back again. You know, a real epic journey. I was wondering if anyone knows of any material out there where this...

I was doing some searches on ebay and came across a card game called Spellfire. Anyone played this? Is it worth pursuing? My son and I play magic from time to time, but I always have my eyes open for an alternative. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Then I definitely have all I need. Thanks for clearing it up.:)

I recently picked up the revised 2e dark sun boxed set from ebay, and a friend at work who played a long time ago says that there are two boxed sets you need aside from all the other adventure box sets. I think he is confusing the original set with the revised, but he insists that I need both...

That sounds good but I think I will keep to the 2ND ed rules as much as possible. I don't really care for 3.0 or 3.5 so I won't be incorporating too much. I found a copy of skills and abilities on eBay and it should be here soon. We'll see what it has to offer. Thanks for the information.:D

I am putting together the pieces of a home brew campaign and I have been all over the Internet looking at things others have come up with. While I was looking i have come across references to AD&D 2.5. Wikipedia says that TSR re-released 2nd edition with some revised rules which is now being...
