URPGS would like to mention that there is some additional games within the forum. DM Daemon has started Evil Reborn. A long and forgotten evil has returned to the world of Toril. Mystery surrounds murder as the evil power grows in strength. DM Overlord starts Shadows of The Future. A 3.5 Dungeons & Dragons game. Political mystery involving a ruling faction that threaten the player characters. Also worth mentioning is the continuation of DM Nothings Troubleshooter game.
When the player characters find themselves with the ability to time travel they must do everything in their power to complete the tasks in order to change history, but there are some corrupt and willing to stop them.

I would also like to let everybody know that under construction is Café Unlimited. A non-profit store designed to help defray site maintenance and show our unlimited pride. Café Staff is in need of artists to help with different designs. These products are for friends, families and loved ones.

If some of you might recall the release of Dead Reign by Palladium Books. Dead Reign is an apocalyptic setting on Earth. Some speculation as to why sickness and pestillance spread, with the dead returning to life. Just recently Palladium has released the first offical sourcebook for Dead Reign named Civilzation Gone. The sourcebook contains three new zombies, zombie encounters, adventure path, combat and tips. A must have for the Palladium fan in us.

UnlimitedRPGs.com is kicking off the new year with the giveaway of the brand new Wizards of the Coast module, Demon Queen’s Enclave!

From Wizards.com:

P2 Demon Queen’s Enclave
4E D&D Adventure
By David Noonan and Chris Sims

Demon Queen’s Enclave is a D&D adventure designed to take characters from 14th to 17th level. In this adventure, the heroes must unravel the plots of the vile minions of Lolth, the infamous Demon Queen of Spiders. Along the way, they’ll face off against drow, demons, and worse!

But there’s a twist! Whichever DM wins this puppy, we’re suggesting they run the module as a “reverse dungeon,” wherein the players are the “vile minions of Lolth!” For full details on this contest, please see the official contest thread below:

Every player knows that when they sit at that game table take out their pencils, character sheets and dice they are fitting into the role of a entirely different person, during my first experience will role-playing games I would attempt and often fail to play the role of Lidda, Halfling Rogue, I would often act with male brash and show little elegance in the little things to do and many of my players at the time would agree maybe I should have been Redgar, Human Fighter instead. When we finally moved onto my first ever campaign (my first experience was that of the 3.5 basic game…) I picked myself a Human Sorcerer and found myself better able to role-play. 

Many Newbie’s like I did will often fall into the common mistakes a role-player can make when playing a character, and some of the problems that turn may even have been avoided if you did the first few sessions just right, everything has an effect on how you play your character including the other characters in your party and the world your characters are adventuring in. Firstly I will outline the common mistakes a Role-Player may encounter when playing as his latest character in the current campaign:

With recent speculation and surmised dismay, it does not seem that anytime soon the Wizards of the Coast supplement program Dungeons and Dragons Insider will be up and running on all wheels. There is no said date of release of the program that will bring Dungeons and Dragons straight to your living room. A very useful game application that allows the player character to subscribe to twenty-four hours a day access to the Wizards of the Coasts magazines, the Dungeon and the Dragon. They include tips, tricks, ideas and ways to bring out the fullest potential of your game. Along with reading material for your game is a compendium full of information regarding from every D&D rulebook and online magazine article. Along with the said above, there is a closed beta testing that a person may subscribe to. It allows the person to build characters ranging from level 1-3. Ingredients that are not included as of yet and are in production are the dungeon builder where the players will create a character in their image and create a mini for use on the game map. The dungeon builder will come complete with many tiles, monster minis and a dice roller. Some of the bonus tools offered now is an ability point generator, monster builder and encounter generator, these are some of the bonus tools offered at D&DI. There is some speculation that the dungeon builder is up and running and is being used for in office use. The word is that it keeps crashing and that there are many problems to fix. This leaves many to wonder when they will offer it to the public. There will also be a in-voice chat system that allows the player and DM’s to connect. Implementing role play and mechanics all in the same package.

We’re giving away gift certificate prizes to either Amazon.com or Paizo.com to the winners of this year’s annual holiday contest. Be sure to get your entries in prior to December 15th, 2008 to be eligible. All of the details and contest rules are located in the official contest thread inside the forums.

Good luck!
