With something to celebrate - and several further lines of enquiry to pursue - our heroes have been engaging in a good old tradition known as a "pub crawl", and after an ale or two in a few of the better taverns in town (and giving Bruno a good...

Howdy. I was emailing Elendil's Heir, as I do every once in a while, and he suggested I might like to run a RPG thread over here in the same vein as the one What Exit? used to run (as any fule kno, I can't run one over at the Dope even if I wanted...

Yeah so it's a new one. So the rules is, you say something you said IRL, and all you need to know is .... OK, I having a problem saying L=W and I=R R=V so, that makes sense so a model M is the triple <W, R, V>, like the usual. Yeah, so...

I would like to give my own shot at running a campaign, perhaps. I discussed this setting briefly with Zuul and went "Man, that'd be pretty good." The premise of the setting is as follows: You are on an iconic super-hero world, filled with...

A new KriegSpiel game - White to Move

Hi, Just wanted to put up a board of Black's moves for confirmation. Also, any thoughts and plans you wish to share?

Opened by Malacandra to help WES.

I used to run an RPG on a chat server, but 1) chat games eat up a lot of time because everybody has to be online at the same time or the game dies and 2) I have the attention span of a gnat and always fail at #1. I do miss that world I created,...
