NCGD 2016 is April 21-25. There will be plenty of pickup games, as well as board and card games, but for those games that need to be scheduled for a specific time we are going to keep the Master Game Schedule on a convenient SignUpGenius.com page. Available game slots are Friday, Saturday and...

It has gotten to the point where I feel that I can come to EN World for help on virtually any subject. You kind folks have given me advice on everything from video games to hockey. Now, I have what will hopefully be a simple request: I need "clip art" of reindeer antlers. Being no good at this...

My sons, ages 7, 5 and 3, are going to get a new gaming console for Christmas. I'm not a big video game player, so I need a little advice. By far, the leading choice is the PS2. We have a PSone, which the whole family enjoys, but we are not typical console players. We get the most play out of...

My local PBS station is showing Guns, Germs and Steel tonight and for the following two Monday nights. According to a brief review in the paper, this is a somewhat dumbed-down and abbreviated version of Jared Diamond's book, and each episode will last one hour. Thought I would mention it here...

Am I missing something or are there no specific 3.5 rules for what happens if you go without food and water? I have started my online group in the World's Largest Dungeon, and I want to stress the fact that they are trapped in the dungeon and must learn to survive until they can find a way...

No access to my 3.0 books, as I am at work, and I am attempting to advise a player who wants to create a rogue/cleric under the 3.0 rules for multiclassing at 1st level. If I am remembering right, these rules do not appear in 3.5, and are not in either SRD. Anyone have access to your 3.0 DMG? I...

Wondering if anyone has any advance knowledge on Necromancer's Eldritch Sorcery. Thier website and messageboards indicate it will be out soon, possibly even June 27. http://www.necromancergames.com/upcoming.html A ton of spells, many of them updating spells from previous editions. I could...

So during lunch today I stop by the friendly neighborhood package store. The wife has become enamored with a wine we had on Valentine's Day, and this is the only place I can find the stuff. Plus, I'm running what will hopefully be the conclusion of Hall of Rainbow Mage Leads to Domains of the...

I'm taking my 6-year-old son to a AA Hockey game tonight, a first for the both of us. He won tickets at a school program. I know very little about the sport, and have never even watched more than a few minutes on television. I gather there are 3 periods of 20 minutes each, that each team has a...

I am running an online game session tonight. My players have completed a revised Morrick Mansion and are on their way to the Hall of the Rainbow Mage. I gave them an easy teleport option, but they are choosing a three-day horseback ride along a trade road instead. Anyone have any...

If you felt the foundation of the very earth move this day, if you saw the Heavens open and a ray of light shine down on a suburb of Atlanta, if a certain grognard seems a little more cheerful, you may have already guessed that our very own diaglo realized his dream today. At his home, a small...

Welcome to the EN World Book Club. This new thread is a continuation of the original Book Club Thread, which has grown large was scaring newcomers away from getting involved. Plus, we are revising the format a little. The original thread is here...

Just wanted to see if I can get some suggestions on a decent little adventure, nothing monumental or world-changing. We rotate DMs, and I just got the call to put something together because the main DM is too busy lately. The characters are far from home, and making their way back. They might...

Getting a late start on the recent selection for the Book Club, but would love to hear from all who have read Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner, either for the Club or previously. Comments from all are welcome, the EN World Book Club has an open membership and would love to hear your opinions. Note...

The military is catching up with fantasy gaming. "Vanguard Response Systems Inc. has won a $2.5-million contract from the U.S. Marine Corps to develop equipment to spay a slippery gel. The "Mobility Denial System" will be used to make roads and surfaces so slippery that it will be...

I just finished my first game as DM for my sons, ages 5 and 3. Joseph will be 6 in May, and Jacob will be 4 in July. (My third son, Benjamin, is 22 months old and napped during the game, but his time will come.) We have played several sessions of a simplified version of the miniature game...

With apologies to smetzger: What is the usefulness/must have of Improved Overrun Improved Overrun [General] REQ: Str 13, Power Attack When you attempt to overrun an opponent, the target may not choose to avoid you. You also gain a +4 bonus on your Strength check to knock down your opponent...

One campaign has ended, or at least gone on haitus, and a new one is starting. I am considering playing a mute character. Does anyone have any experience in this area? First some background, but if you are not interested in the gory details you can skip to the questions below: The campaign...

Just looking for some general info here, be it house rules, how you interpret rules, or fluffy stuff. Our campaign is potentially on the verge of having a couple of players take the Leadership feat, and we are curious to see how others handle this. Truthfully, the DM is Olgar Shiverstone, but...

Going to be a little busy this afternoon and evening, but I wanted to get the discussion started on Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay. I chose the book because I recently read Sailing to Sarantium by Kay, and wanted to read more of his works. Tigana fit the bill for the EN World Book Club, being a...
