Inquisition of the Week :RPGing over the Internet?
School season is starting again, and our members are going to school all over the country. Surely that shouldn’t mean we still can’t play D&D together, right? Have you ever played a traditionally tabletop RPG online (using software like OpenRPG or Fantasy Grounds)? Does this interest you? Why or why not? Personally, while I’ve played […]
RPG Motivational Posters
I really got a kick out of these “RPG Motivational Posters.” They’ve been making the rounds for a while, but I came across them in a forum while researching my new rpg that I’m preparing to run. My favorite was the “World of Synnibar” one, since I’ve actually played a game of what is probably […]
