TIME: 1:00pm to 5:00pm Wednesday LOCATION: Embassy Suites Hotel Bar I've been away from these boards for nearly a year but hopefully some here might recall my style. For the past several years, I have been developing a simulationist-style RPG modeling Europe in the Early Middle Ages. This...

At 9:00pm, some of the ENnies judging panel will be serving our favourite drinks to thank the voters for electing us to the panel this year and in the past. Our hosts will be: Cthulhu's Librarian will be serving Gin & Tonics Fusangite will be serving White Russians Teflon Billy will be serving...

Hey -- I'm going to be staying in the Utah Valley from June 30 to August 13 and would love to find a temporary spot at a gaming table or two. I'm a fairly versatile gamer but tend to prefer fantasy games over sci-fi. As I'm serving as an ENnies judge this year, I have some familiarity with a...

Due to popular demand, I have decided to launch a second section of my Paranoia game (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=196282). It will run from 1 to 5 on Thursday afternoon. Because I'm still sorting out who is in which game, forgive the temporary incoherence of the list: 1. Romp 2...

I will be beta-testing my new Trailer Park Boys game at Gen Con this year. (My Toronto gaming group will be alpha-testing it this June). Based on the popular TV show, the game will work off simple mechanics designed to enhance and emphasize the show's own special genre. Although none of the PCs...

I'm planning to put on a pickup game of my friend Steve's adaptation of Paranoia. It combined classic distopian Paranoia elements with 1990s management theory. If you do not like filling out weird, forms, don't sign up. But, if you enjoy my style of humour, as exemplified in last year's Gamma...

Well, in the last episode of the D&D campaign in which I play, my character's familiar was reincarnated as a duck. Our group lacks duck stats. Can anybody direct me to stats for a mundane duck, ideally a mallard?

Hi. I'm still getting the hang of the review posting process but I think I need to request that you add the following Mongoose products so I can review them: 1. Glorantha: the Second Age 2. Runequest Companion 3. Runequest Monsters

Towards the end of another thread, ThirdWizard, Crothian, wayne62682 and I got into an interesting discussion of metagaming. As a result, I thought I would start this thread to solicit other people's opinions about where they draw the line between gaming and metagaming. Here's how part of the...

Runequest, from the moment I first discovered it, became my game. I was a thirteen year-old D&D player in 1985 when I first picked up Runequest in 1985 and from that moment forward, my AD&D books began to gather dust. As I grew up and became more sophisticated in my thinking about world-building...

Forgive my idiocy but I am trying to post my first review and I cannot figure out how to do it. I think this problem has two parts: (a) There is not yet a database entry for Mongoose's Runequest (b) Even if there were, I still can't figure out how to post a review at all. There is obviously some...

I'm not really interested in mass combat systems or making large-scale battles part of my games as a regular thing. Nevertheless, there is going to be a clash between armies that my characters will be an important part of. Any advice on how to make the battle as a whole feel real while...

I'll be running a 1E Gamma World adventure based on my experiences in the hotel last year. Slots (Thursday 1:15-5:15): 1. PirateCat (confirmed) 2. Francisca (confirmed) 3. GM's friend from Toronto 4. Psion (confirmed) 5. Contrarian (confirmed) 6. (vacant) 7. (vacant) Slots (Friday 1:15-5:15)...

I'm looking to play a pre-literate Celtic-style bard along the lines of Taliesin. Needless to say, the core Bard class doesn't cut it. Could people suggest alternative classes in third party materials? Better still, anything conveniently available online?

Hi guys, A friend of mine has asked me to post his concerns about readied actions to this forum and solicit some reaction. The views expressed below are those of my friend and not necessarily mine. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. An odd problem came up on the weekend during the...

In the suspension of disbelief thread, Afrodyte just observed How do people feel about the rules' treatment of chases? Are the dramatic possibilities of chases curtailed by the way D&D handles movement? I'm struggling with this in a D20-BRP hybrid game I'm running now. Both BRP and D20 assume...

I'm pretty good at suspending disbelief in an RPG but certain kinds of events in a session can just ruin it for me and put me in quite a foul temper. My current DM has made a very culturally rich world that I find it enjoyable and easy to get immersed in. My PC naturally remmebers his culture...

I'm running a game tomorrow set in a medieval-style town of about 2000 people; it is a garrison town and, in some respects doesn't fit the medieval mold due to the peculiarity of my setting. Still, as a starting point, I'm wondering if people could give me a sense of the average surface area and...

I noticed my post count hitting 2000 and wondered how different everyone relative ENWorld stats would look if the system tracked the total words posted instead of just total posts. Not that I'm advocating that anyone waste their time doing this.

I am running a quasi-historical fantasy campaign set in the 13th century. Historical Europeans have shown up in an alternate North America on a quest for the Holy Grail. Of my seven characters, six are Europeans and one is a local. So, while six of the characters are part of a clear quest that...
