2034: Brian, having long ago forgotten about TWG, is now a low-ranking officer in the Time Corps, and is assigned to clean up the temporal vortex set in motion by the chaotic time manipulation activity of the recently obliterated NTWG and its predecessors.

In doing so, he stumbles across long-secret documents outlining numerous Sinister Plots of Productivity architected by former members of the TWG, and makes a fortune when he publishes his fabulous expose on the subject, but is later killed by the assassin priests of SaintEhlers' cult..

Heh, I'd probably be too nervous to DM a game with players as experienced as SE..

As everyone who has had the rest of Douglas Adams' works knows, the meaning of the universe (and life, and everything else) is 42. So really, it doesn't matter if space-time is torn apart, because the answer will likely still be 42.

But for what it's worth, I subscribe to the scar tissue theory.

I've conducted a survey, and the results are in. This particular thread is precisely 56.2% funnier due to the presence of monkeys.

Note: Research conducted amongst simian respondents between six months and five years of age, and has a +/-81% error margin.

It sounds great... SE was originally envisioning something like this for AORP itself I think.. sadly I think for the foreseeable future, the AORP dream may not happen if SE moves the game to TWG. But perhaps it can still happen through TWG.

I don't know about limiting to only two games, but I do think if TWG ever became a recognizable hotspot for Play-by-Post RPGs, it would be good to regular games this grows happens TWG ought to figure out SOME way that players can "guarantee" they will post frequently.

There are few things more frustrating than when players have promised to post frequently and then forget all about your game.

I've always thought it would be cool to have a consolidated spot for PbP gaming though.

So its a custom mod then. Is there some way I could see the source changes for it?

I like the forum's RPG mod -- I chose to follow the path of the Student of Honor. But I'm curious, where does it come from? I couldn't find it on the website dedicated to YaBB mods. Is it a Custom mod? And if so, is there any way I can get it? I'd like to do a conversion for YaBB SE.

When I am DM'ing a game, my players all know that what I say goes. There is rarely any dispute, and if there is, a simple reminder does the trick. 3e does indeed lay everything out for you, but that doesn't mean I always stick to it.

I've DM'd only 3 campaigns so far, but I am not the kind of person that likes to do everything by the book. I enjoy making changes to suit a particular story or situation. So no, I don't think my enjoyment of 3e has much to do with my lack of experience as a DM.

I will say that I have never played 1st or 2nd edition, or any other system, let alone hosted a game -- so I won't say that another one isn't better. I will however stick to my belief that 3e is perfectly worthy as a RPG system and that it in no way hinders me from making changes to it to suit my needs or preferences.

I am considering running an entirely original d20 Modern game soon -- I've never picked up the d20 modern books and I don't intend to, I don't have the money and don't feel I really need them anyway. I am already adapting the standard d20 rules to fit my contemporary setting.
