 LordVreeg
no, but I'll certainly say that 'girly-drinks' take a lot less time to 'get a taste for'. I think aquiring a taste for some things takes a while, and is not always worth the effort.

 Rose Of Montague
I agree with sparkletwist on this matter.

 sparkletwist
Girly drinks are the best!

Apparently "real men" like the taste of battery acid.

 LordVreeg
hey ishy, I added a new Bardic fave on the dockside thread, on the bottom post.

 LordVreeg
at work.

 Nomadic
How are you gentlemen?

 Higgs Boson
VOTE!

 Sdr$g$n1984
EE: Yea, pretty much what Polycarp said. Have you heard of a fuzzy navel?


Me? I like my rum.

 Polycarp!
because it is a girly drink

I drink neat bourbon like a real American

 Elemental_Elf
I discovered the best tasting alcoholic drink the world has ever made... Its called Sex on the Beach!!!

Why had no one told me this drink existed!?

 LordVreeg
might have to post on 'beer' tonight

 Snargash Moonclaw
Words cannot express the joy, wonder and excitement of anticipation I feel at this news. But how could they? After all, it's a silent film. . . URL

 Snargash Moonclaw
Psionically controlled muppets: isn't that the present administration or are they still being controlled the old fashioned way - with someone's hand up their ass. Sadly, it's getting too hard to tell anymore just from watching C-SPAN

 Ra-Tiel
*sigh* Good to see that the WotC boards are "legs up" again.

 Kapn Xeviat
it's over *smash* nine Testudineses! (that's the order turtles come from; I'm not refering to balls)

 Nomadic
Sparkletwist what does the scouter say about his turtle level?

 Nomadic
or perhaps a psmuppet

 Sdr$g$n1984
That would be my guess.

 LordVreeg
a psuppet...with a silent 'p'...

 Nomadic
what would that make a muppet controlled by a psion?

 Sdr$g$n1984
I just heard the best anime quote /ever/! :

"They're just puppets, controlled by magic- they're Muppets!"

 Crippled Crow
Cool. My previous message was my 100th in the Tavern. Hurray for stalker-ish site statistics.

 Crippled Crow
Hmm, i'm creeped out... there is apparently a webpage going by my "name"...
Do truly original handles even exist anymore?

 Snargash Moonclaw
But fortunately we like their kind and shiny things don't have fingerprints

 Snargash Moonclaw
Although neither Tavern litterbugs have reformed themselves. . .

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!
-Ishmayl

Vote for the Guildies, 2008!

 Ishmayl on Tuesday 01 July 2008 - 08:49:11 

Well, it's that time once again to vote for the best of the CBG. We've got some seriously awesome nominations for our categories this time, and it's going to take everyone voting to make sure only the best wins. Here's how it works. It's quite simple, really. You copy the list I have below into an email, and just delete the people in each category who you aren't voting for, leaving only one person per category that you vote for. Or you can come up with other clever ways to send me your votes. Send your votes to thecbg.votes(at)gmail(dot)com by 9:00 PM EST, Thursday, July 31, 2008. That's it. Get crackin! I'll tell you when the Awards Ceremonies will be at a later time - we may even do it live in the new CBG Chat this year.

Whoa, is that an official CBG Chat Room????

#theCBG

Yes, it's official. When CBG 2.0 goes live, there will be a widget on the site for people to automatically access the channel. Until then though, you can use your favorite IRC client to access the channel. Sometimes there are people there, sometimes there aren't. Come chat us up live.

Cheers!
