Alternative magic system for DD
March 2008
I converted Mage's sphere system to DnD for a game once. It worked about as well as you'd think.

Alternative magic system for DD
March 2008
If you're really gung ho, you might as well give every culture a seperate magic system. Look at the real world. Even if in your setting magic has one "source", the means people invent to access this source will vary. You could have rune magic, he…

Alternative magic system for DD
March 2008
Depends on what you want to do with it, I guess. How does the magic in your setting differ from the standard DnD Vancian "magic goes away" memorization scheme? I once ran a dnd game where every spell was a different feat. They came off as more …

Counter intuitive? That's how wiki works, man.

In Memoriam to 'a Father of Role-Playing'
March 2008
Now nothing stands between Steve Jackson and world domination! Seriously, I'm going to pour out a 40 of mountain dew for Big Daddy Gygax, who's off rolling his 20s in heaven with Don Kaye, Tolkein and that kid who got lost in the steam tunnels.

Or a general PDQ might be useful.

A third option
February 2008
I tend to personally agree with DMaple, but some people just aren't comfortable with sharing their creative efforts with other people. Some people are even afraid of having their ideas 'stolen'. It'd probably be far easier just to avoid puttin…

Problems with ratings - official thread
February 2008
Actually, I think that a simple "Like/Dislike" plus mandatory comment field would be pretty cool. Popular campaigns would just have the most "likes-dislikes" - as it is, if a game with three people marking '5' is more popular than one with eight '5…

I'd like, if possible, a "homebrew" option. I create the occasional system from scratch.

Problems with ratings - official thread
February 2008
I like the idea of allowing constructive criticism in any form. I welcome it. Positive or negative. I just don't like seeing accounts created, marking my campaign a 1, and then never doing anything else - not creating any campaigns, characters,…

How old are you?
February 2008
My mom thought DnD was satanic. I thought that was a childish attitude, and took about an hour to explain to her what it was, what it was about, and that it had nothing to do with judeo-christian cosmology. And yes, at 11 I was pompous enough to…

It's not the kind of wiki that's going to get better or worse - only more complete. It's just an organized site for my players to refer for setting data. It's hard for me to imagine someone liking or disliking it any more than they would an encycl…

Palladium published it. I think it was called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Stranger Things - don't really remember, this was years ago.

I wouldn't really care either. I don't care if people don't like my work... especially if they're not playing in my game... I just don't like the shadiness of the whole thing.

Maybe... maybe they just accidentally clicked on the score and didn't realize it. Yeah. Maybe. And... and they'll be back to fix it, somehow. Soon, right? Yeah. Gamers are good people, right?

So, it's possible that it's just a proxy account someone made to maintain their secrecy and still be able to vote down other people's games? What a jerk. I wouldn't have cared if it wasn't the first vote I'd gotten. Haven't even started the gam…

people creating accounts just to vote down your game? I only ask because someone marked one of mine as a favorite, voted it a 1, and has no other favorites, created stuff, forum activity, or anything. Just seems a bit weird, that's all. Maybe I…

DnD 4th edition
February 2008
Having played dnd since basic, here are my two copper on the entire issue. When I got into DnD, TSR was still actively marketing both the basic redbox DnD and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. I don't remember the switch from 1e to 2e, but I've hea…

That's kinda what I'm trying to recapture with the GURPS Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk games I'm running via pbp.

How old are you?
February 2008
I turned 30 at the beginning of the month. I've been gaming since I was 11, rolling up a wizard named "Sparky Spelljammer", when an older friend (a fellow boy scout) was running the adventure that came with the DnD red box. I remember you had to…

Review of Obsidian Portal

Default Initial Tab

If it's possible, an option to default the view of the campaign to the Player Wiki rather than the Log might be advantageous, particularly during the creation phases of the campaign. Perhaps a simple flag on the game setting page, to set as defau…

Review of Obsidian Portal
February 2008
You're on the right track to a 5/5 - you've just got to get it all done. If you can pull off all you want to pull off, you're there. Bear in mind that my blog takes things from a play-by-post angle. My scores do not reflect your utility for oth…
