I don't know of any but I remember a time when the WotC website had posted a news article about how fourth edition was going to use the d30 system...that never happened and I seem to be the only person that ever read that...

Elemental_Elf

I want to make a d30!

Speaking of which, does any game use that? I have one but i've never used it officially.

Llum

Nether is a d20!

Elemental_Elf

I don't think those are casino legal.

You do that Nomadic.

@SH - I shall ignore your latest comment and continue to believe that your first one was in response to my witty acronym in hope of sating my pride

That was in response to Cheo, btw.

Seraphine_Harmonium

Holy Shit! I'd never have thought of that. That's really cool!

G.E.A.R. system - Guildschool Eternus Alternate Rules system. The rules system for ME now has a name that gives proper credit to the system it uses as a foundation. Also, everyone loves awesome acronyms.

What Is the CBG?

The Campaign Builders' Guild is your one-stop source for information and communities centered around building and creating homebrew campaign settings, adventures, and worlds for role playing games. World building and campaign building is a craft and an art, to use the words of Raelifin, and goes far beyond just simply creating locales, NPCs, and adventure locations. These things must connect to each other in some sort of fundamental way. At the Campaign Builders' Guild, we will help you achieve a mastery of this art, either through reviewing your campaign setting, critiquing your adventure, or simply basking in the wonder of your campaign world. Go to the forums and ask for help for that new kingdom you're building, and ask for advice on the new magic system you're creating. And while you're here, please ponder others' works of art. Write your own reviews on someone else's setting, and play an adventure RPG in a new campaign world. You can't go wrong.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Campaign Builders' Guild. The original ideas of the CBG were founded by Xeviat-DM at the Wizards of the Coast Message Boards, and expanded upon over the course of several months to become the thriving community you see now. There is one sole purpose for this guild, this site, and these forums: to help with the creation of GM-created, homebrew campaigns. In an RPG market where there are literally hundreds of published worlds - some good, some not - it is difficult for GMs to choose a world to adventure in. Often times, they will begin work on their own, personal campaign, sometimes inspired directly by pre-existing campaigns, and sometimes inspired by nothing more than the memory of playing outside in the creek when younger. This site is to help mold those ideas, to shape those themes, and to inspire in even greater detail the creation of complete worlds and campaigns to play RPGs in. Come in, join the guild, join the conversation, have a great time! Please submit all site-concerns to "The Cogs" forum, and please introduce yourself in the Rogue's Gallery once you're registered

Cheers!

No stats theater: IT... IS... ALIVE!!!

Nomadic on Saturday 05 December 2009 - 17:00:00

It appears that our friendly pike whom may or may not know how to steer is trying to get a no stats theater version of his world Tempter going. There are already interested people but there is still space available so jump in while you can. It promises to be devilishly fun (see what I did there) so don't miss out.

Update: The event is now officially scheduled for 11am PST (2pm EST) on the 15th.

Update Update: The session was a rousing success, thanks to everyone who came. Logs posted here
