... If you live somewhere close to Lebanon (halfway between Harrisburg and Philly), I know that (at least a few years ago) there was a gaming association...
Greetings fellow gamers! As you may have heard, Ye Olde Gaming Week (YOGWe <http://www.yeoldecommons.com/yogwe.html> ) will be held Nov 19-25! We are proud to...
If you live in the Boston area, this should be a great chance for new DDM skirmishers to learn a bit about the game, and a good tournament opportunity for all...
Heya, folks. Just a heads up that Pandemonium will be participating in the Worldwide D&D Game Day again this year. The adventure is set for 5 players in each...
Giant Monster Smash! Be the monster in a Bash-em, crash-em, and Smash-em miniature game unlike any you've ever seen! Choose from Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, or ...
Hey all, I am busy working on my next campaign: a Pirate campaign. I'm using the True20 system, which will hopefully eleminate the need for armor and clerical...
I could see a lot of potential in that (so long as the players aren't inherently opposed to having someone tell them what to do). They start as a subgroup of...
After the disaster at Canary Wharf, which led to the near-total obliteration of Torchwood 1, and the total disappearance of Torchwood 4, it seemed prudent to...
Hi all, I am new to the Boston Gamers group and I have been reading you discussions for a while, since I don´t live in Boston (or even USA) I joined this...
I met 4 potential new players last Wednesday and skirmished with them, and combined with my local posse and other potential players, Pandemonium wants to make...
... I have done this in-game before, more than once, both with the Tarot and the I Ching. It works very well if it's plausible in-game: the I Ching reading,...
... I would be somewhat hesitant to do this with players I didn't know reasonably well. It may be something of a mine field. If you have any players who take ...
Out of curiosity, where is the Boston Torchwood HQ hidden? somewhere associated with the Big Dig makes most sense, but other possibilities include: -Beneath...
And of course, is there a Rift? Hmmm,,, in this case they must be acting more covertly than the do in the series. Since Torchwood was set up under Queen...
... No, there isn't. ... There is a British consulate right next to MIT; Torchwood agents can reasonably expect limited help there, but not if they screw...
I find myself in the surprising position of agreeing unequivocally with Evan - his suggestions allow the focus to remain on the players. Not to mention, if you...
... You know, not to raise debates on the quality of the work, but I think the manga and anime One Piece did handle this fairly well - the characters started...
Survivors of a battle works well.... Other possibilities would be survivors of a ship that was abandoned in a storm and didn't go down as expected (they could...
Hi there! (I'll assume for the moment that the players and GM are comfortable with the use of tarot cards in this context.) It seems to me that using them for...
Take a look at the "StoryCard" system by Carl Klutzke. http://storycardsrpg.com/files/StoryCardsFAQ.html I played a game using these at The Black Road...
"StoryCard" System: The problem with these, as I see it, is the licensing limits. They technically don't let you "alter, transform or build on" the cards, so...

Also might want to take a look at Psychosis (if you can find any of them). It integrates tarot cards into the game completely, serving as both character sheets...
Well, I don't know that you are interpreting things correctly... You can obviously do whatever you want with any system on a personal game level. I believe the...
... Ok, I guess my interpretation comes from having to deal in many situations with 'public gaming' vs 'private gaming', and the 'non-commercial' tag on the...
