    I just GMed my 3 year old for the first time!

    Today, as I was reminiscing about the 20th anniversary of ENWorld coming into being, I thought I should update this thread. Last week I took Samantha the Red to college orientation. She'll be starting this fall at St. John's in New York City where she earned a full tuition scholarship to their...

    I just GMed my 3 year old for the first time!

    Wow, thanks to Piratecat for bringing this to my attention as I rarely get to ENWorld these days. Just so some of us can feel REALLY old, little Samantha The Red is going to get her Driver's License on Monday. She'll be turning 17 in July and is already picking out colleges. Over the years we...

    Social Conflict In Space - STARGUILD Is Space Opera Noir

    Wanted to pop over and lend my voice to the chorus of support, Alex! I jumped on this Kickstarter on Day 1 and I'm quite looking forward to seeing the final product. For those reading and on the fence, I've had the pleasure of playing in several Starguild games over the years and it has always...

    Saturday 9-1 13th Age "Tales of the Midland Sea"

    If you haven't tried the "new D&D" from Pelgrane Press, you're missing out. It borrows some of the best ideas from several editions and brings them together with a strong focus on character identity and background. Plus it has Owlbears. Six slots available: reveal Sandie Duncan Rusty Halo Kid...

    Friday 2-6 Old School Hack "Frost Queen of the Ice Peaks"

    Hop on board this delightfully slick rule system crafted by ENWorlder Kiznit to experience fast, fun, usually hilarious times. The characters and adventure will be crafted at the table but it will take place in the setting of the Ice Peaks and have something to do with the Frost Queen (all of...

    Details and Game Scheduling

    Time for this year's Camp NCGD to have its very own thread! I'm sure there will be many small evolutions as we get closer to the event but I'll try and keep this first post edited/updated with the important bits so it is easy to find. Let's dive right in and talk about... The Website...

    13th Age pros and cons?

    Just to throw another data point on the pile, Skyscraper, my group is pretty "beer and pretzels" since we have all known each other almost 25 years minimum. This week we got a bit of a late start so only gamed for three hours. In that time we had two fairly big combats plus a fair bit of...

    13th Age pros and cons?

    I remember talking to a friend at GenCon last year, having only picked up my copy of 13th Age 24 hours previous, and him saying, "I'm surprised at all the buzz around that game. Isn't it just a simplified version of 4e?" While it has a few definite similarities to 4e, the overall context of...

    13th Age pros and cons?

    I love this game and it has excited me more than any system since Savage Worlds (which I still also love). Most of the upsides have been addressed in detail and you can barely fill a teaspoon with stuff I don't care for about 13th Age. I'll take a second to talk about combat length though...

    Going shopping...

    I've become a huge fan of this system for a whole variety of reasons, most of which have been discussed here. But one thing I haven't seen mentioned much is how the game emphasizes cultivation of a really positive relationship between players and GM. It is something that many of us have picked...

    What are you doing with your Dwarven Forge tiles?

    I used them unpainted on the first night I had them and was fine with it. However they are so easy to paint that I'm going to go ahead and start painting some. I'm sure they will look loads better.
