    ENnies 2014: dead or alive?

    Hi, I went to the ENnies website, and submitted an online form, as I want to participate in the next ENnies. HOWEVER: I noticed that the website has not been updated since the end of 2013 (i.e. 4 or 5 months ago); and that the address of the sixth judge should have been given 5 or 6 months...

    What style of science-fiction in your D&D ?

    Lets say you want to add science-fiction in your D&D game, to run a campaign where science-fiction elements are added to an otherwise fantasy world. My question is, how do you envision its style ? So far I only know of: 1) Modern sci-fi: the 3e supplement Dragonstar has such a style, with...

    Leaving ENworld at last

    For those who did read some of my posts back in the days, I am closing my account and leaving ENworld. Everything I enjoyed disappeared, mostly due to the 4e flood, but also with things like the download-thread function having disappeared (how useful it was!), and the forums becoming...

    Closing my account

    It's time for me to definitely leave ENworld. Due to my hate of 4e, I have nothing more to post here, except for the occasional insulting comment on the new edition. I wish to close my account, as if I had been forever banned from ENworld. How can I do this? Thanks.

    Advanced/prestige classes in d20 CoC?

    Anyone ever thought of letting d20 Call of Cthulhu PCs take d20M advanced classes? Of course, it's for those who prefer more effective/powerful PCs, for campaigns that are pulpish rather than hopeless horror. Now, instead of using straight d20 Modern, I was thinking allowing a few advanced...

    What non-4e would you play if there was no OGL at all?

    Well, this for those who are not interested in 4e, and will instead choose Pathfinder, True20, C&C, whatever. The thing is, that such OGL games do exist solely because the guy who first wrote the d20 OGL license, didn't do his job very well. He left a bad-wording / loophole that let publishers...

    Minions whatever the system

    In reading 4e threads, I have seen this come up often: the 1 HP minions. First, can someone tell me about this concept of "minion" in 4e? It seems borrowed from Savage Worlds, with a bizarre implementation. I keep hearing 1 hp minions is a dumb idea, but why minions should have 1 hp only? Why a...

    For those who played HARP, tell me about it

    Perusing the Internet, I got a look at the HARP rpg. Seems like an interesting old-school flavor type of rpg, with some flexibility in character creation, yet archetypal races and classes. However, reading reviews is one thing, reading about experiences with that game is another. So, could you...

    You don't like the new edition? Tell me about it!

    I have no time, no money, and no interest in the new edition, not even one hour to spend to go and get a look at it in the LGS. But... :D I would like to hear from others how smart I am to remain away from it. ;) This thread is for those who are disappointed, angry, whatever negative...

    The REAL Indiana Jones

    I just thought I should share this article with you. Apparently, the Indiana Jones fiction was inspired by a real figure... By the way, I can't wait for the last Indy movie in a few days!

    What are the ideal % of success for PCs succeeding skills?

    Thinking again about houseruling skills (and using a much shorter skill list), I got to think about the method (how to get them, skill-points or not, what dice to roll, what the difficulty level, etc.) and the percentage chances of success it could give. But now my question is about the % chance...

    What about skills ?

    I perused several pages of threads, but apparently couldn't find anything pertaining to skills in 4e. Can someone tell me how skills are supposed to work in 4e? What's the mechanic, what skills, etc. Thanks.

    Future of gaming companies with the impending recession ?

    Well, for all what seems to be happening right now, the US, and then most of the world (at least Europe is concerned) is at the doorstep of a huge economical depression. Now, more and more economists see 2008 as being difficult if not disastrous. I was thinking, how will this affect the gaming...

    Where to buy dice online?

    I had found dicepool.com and wanted to order several dice from them, however they don't ship oversea... :( So, what are other online shops that propose strange rpg dice (such as d16, d24, d30, and all other sorts of strangely shaped dice or regular dice with special printing, etc.)? Hey, I...

    How much would it cost to hire a rpg writer?

    Well, Lately I have compiled my various notes (some of them well detailed and complete, others just ideas and wiki copypasted texts) for my campaign setting. However, I see that I really won't have the time to write it down. I still want to do it, especially as I will do a nice layout with lots...

    Beautiful and Ugly needing refinement

    These feats for you to comment and criticize! Thanks. :) First of all, these feats assume that Charisma does not represent actual "comeliness". Even if charisma represents physical attractiveness, here (IMC) it is not due to the character's physical traits; rather a high charisma would...

    Discussing about hirelings, henchmen, followers, and cohorts.

    Several questions about those people in the PCs' service. Be it either about game mechanics, or from a role-playing standpoint while forgetting about the acual d20 rules. So, about Hirelings and followers, henchmen and cohorts : what's the difference? I mean, the Leadership feat enables a...
