Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Greyhawk. I wanted to run the "Giants" modules, but first needed to get the players up to 7th level. I didn't have access to many of the lower-level mods or any sort of Greyhawk campaign book, so I had to make up my own and develop most of the background world around the adventures.

The smart (or lucky) thing was that I didn't overdo it and allowed the campaign world to grow with the characters. Later on, when I did get some "official" Greyhawk world material, it wasn't hard to integrate.

I did a Bro an Mabden/ Corum Campaign as my first real foray; then a Tolkien thing up in the Lindon area in the second age.

Then in the late seventies I made one called David's Delvings, which ran for a while, that was a true original, followed by the Gesana campaign, both island based, or a small continent, and both ended up destroyed.

Both of these actually survive as destroyed areas in the next Setting, that I started in 83, the Celtricia setting, which I have grown since then as my primary game setting.  This one was built with a game system to match the cosmology and setting.  This is still the setting where my current games are played and where my latest online game is.
Currently running 1 live groups and two online group in my 30+ year old campaign setting.

My first foray into GMing was WEG's Darkstryder campaign, for d6 Star Wars.
Quote from: dragoner;776244Mechanical character builds remind me of something like picking the shoe in monopoly, it isn\'t what I play rpg\'s for.
