Google Hangouts is a great way to game with online friends. You can have up to 10 people in a single hangout, & there's even an app called Tabletop Forge that adds several RPG tools to the hangout, including mapping tools and a dice roller. As someone who has been running online games for...

I haven't played every RPG out there, but from my experience, nothing comes close to the detailed minutiae of Rolemaster. Don't get me wrong, I had fun, but more because of the players, NOT the system. I'd give 2nd place to GURPS, which I also enjoy playing. I've really gone away from...

This sounds like the Vitality/Wounds system option for D&D 3.5. We used the V/W system in our S&S adaptation of our 3.5 game, and it was wildly popular! :) To make the system even grittier, I also created Battle Fatigue. Essentially, as you lost Wound Points, you would take penalties to your...

Hey there Thulsa :) I PM'd you my registration info. :)

I've been waiting more than a week myself. I'm relieved that I wasn't the only one, as I was starting to feel like it was personal! LOL I'll try again. :)

Thanks for posting! I can't wait to give it a shot!!

No way! I saw that tour as well! In fact, I got to see Dio twice in the span of about 3 days. I had some friends in Minneapolis who had gotten me a ticket for Dio there in Minneapolis. When I got back to Wisconsin, I found out some of my friends back there were going to see Dio at the...

All right! Now we're cooking with gas! :) Nice summary! :)

I was kind of wondering the same thing. If the PC's killed a monster that was living in the abbey, couldn't they use the carcass to either win over the peasants by showing that they vanquished the beast, or at least scare them into realizing just how fearsome the PC's are?

Oh wow! I had nearly forgotten that I even had a thread here related to my game. :) Just a couple quick things. The first of which is that my Driveway account had some problems after they had some server issues. Since then I've switched to Dropbox, which is way easier to use and a much...

I've been reading this and trying to catch up; it's really fun to read. I had some ideas swirling around in my little head, but I'm going to have to email you some questions because parts of the campaign have me a bit confused. :) One thing is for certain, this has to have been a very...

To each their own, I guess. :lol: But I was thinking it might be fun to have some of those automatons they use for haunted houses on the wall, chained up like prisoners in a dungeon. Imagine using them for the first time on your group at a tense moment in the story, having them spring to life...

Oh pshawww..... :oops: I'm just the messenger here. I mean, it's true, I do rock, and thanks for saying so. But in this case, it was a matter of being lucky enough to remember seeing a thread relevant to another thread. But yes, I exude "rockness". :P All kidding aside, wyrmwood's set up is...

Thanks to my buddy Orchard at the MT forums, I now have a link for the thread on creating 3D tabletop maps. http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6476&start=0 This is a really cool application of Maptools! 8)

True dat. That's another great thing about MT. You can use the top-down/miniature method for your tabletop games, and the digital tokens for your online games. Either way, you can use the same tool in basically the same way. 8)
