    (World of Darkness) What Would You Do?

    I make World of Darkness entirely open world, ditch the whole "storytelling" blah blah, and really make the game reflect the fantastic "City by Night" play style that wasn't explicitly championed by the text but was glorified by the actual gaming content. This is the real gold mine here in terms...

    So, Ben in the house...

    Tonight, it's poutine sausages. Like, sausages infused with poutine inside! I'm not kidding. LOL

    In-game discussion and justification of dungeons and "A wizard did it"

    No, not the *specific* Mythic Underworld interpretation of the baseline which is Philotomy's, but the baseline is there, the idea that the world of the dungeon was in fact beyond the mundane is hardcoded into the D&D rules since chainmail, by virtue of creatures having hit dice, characters...

    In-game discussion and justification of dungeons and "A wizard did it"

    Not immediately, though that'd certainly be something I would love exploring in a manual for high level characters in a Duinnsmere campaign. At this stage, with the PCs discovering the world and starting to explore it, this is in the background and hints at the metaphysical forces at play behind...

    Happy Alien Day!

    Did someone say Spelljammer?! :D White Star RPG? :D

    Facebook/Google+ Integration

    Same as Tommy, I initially tried to log with my Facebook account and got an error message.

    Critique this region hex map I'm working on?

    I'm not trying to suggest you *should* change the scale to be clear. You could just live with your initial scale and it'd be fine, really. Just explaining the logic behind the 6-mile hex and why I like it/use it as my default for regional maps. :)

    In-game discussion and justification of dungeons and "A wizard did it"

    Yes and yes. The two first would be generally smaller and fit the term of "lair" as applied in 1e AD&D. "Dungeon" is more appropriate to the latter two, and implies a bigger underground network, but these aren't hard lines, the definitions are blurred. What I really wanted to do was explain the...

    Vampire: The Requiem First Edition and the New World of Darkness

    That I don't need it, I guess. I never felt the urge to run out and buy the 2nd ed books.

    In-game discussion and justification of dungeons and "A wizard did it"

    "You will find of course all sorts of subterranean forms of habitat scattered throughout the depths of the Eurth. Tunnels and caverns, sinkholes and chasms are natural places for all sorts of predators to dwell, find sustenance or protection. Humans and Demi-humans will also shape living...

    Hey Randall. Long time no see. :)

    Critique this region hex map I'm working on?

    Yeah an army will move much much more slowly than a couple of guys on foot walking on their own with moderately heavy gear. The army will only be as fast as it's slowest components. As to whether that should worry you or not, that entirely depends what you have in my for your game, and what you...

    What are y'all up to these days?

    He he no no it's cool. I get that people want to get their hands of the stuff, hell, I'm just as impatient as everybody else. It's been a long ride and I want to see it through to the finish to see your collective ohs and ahs and gaming the hell out of it. That's just about the best compliment I...

    Vampire: The Requiem First Edition and the New World of Darkness

    I'm not sure. I stuck with the first editions, and don't care about the 2nd. I happen to own the Requiem for Rome books, and this is where the Strix appeared the first time, if I am not mistaken. They are pretty integral to the Fall of the Camarilla campaign, but if you're running RoR for other...

    Critique this region hex map I'm working on?

    Yeah the original scale of Outdoors Survival was 5 miles an hex and carried over into AD&D by osmosis, but I agree with the consensus that emerged from the OSR and made 6 miles an hex a standard. When you are standing on a flat surface with a flat horizon before you, you can see about 3 miles...

    So, Ben in the house...

    Would I be correct in assuming that SJWism and politics of all stripes are just not cool here. This is a neutral ground, this is about gaming, and bringing in politics and agendas here is frowned upon. Would that be a fair description?

    Gaming in Hyboria

    You should absolutely do that, my friend. He he. :)

    Sounds good.
