    D&D 5E Why not Alternity? (Or, will or how might WotC do SF?)

    One of my favorite setting in 3e was called Dragonstar. It had all of the core classes but modified in a way that just worked (with a few added classes like pilots).

    D&D 1E Giving an AD&D feel to 5e

    Have you checked out castles & crusades? It's closer to 3e that feels like 1e, but it is pretty cool imo

    D&D 2E [2e] Monster Mythology Update Project

    Okay, so this is just awesome! Do you accept requests? Personally, I'd love to see something like this for other settings (e.g. dragonlance). I would really love a write up like this on the religions of Eberron. Yeah, I know they don't have avatars, but I'm interested in seeing what that setting...

    D&D 5E What is the appeal of the weird fantasy races?

    D&D 5E Specific overrides general: a general rule, or a specific rule?

    I did not notice this! And yet still, I imputed. And I don't think I was the only one Edit: I looked again in his basic rules, and I didn't find it I found this in the section titled "using these rules" which seems to say something different: "Part 1 is about creating a character, providing...

    D&D 5E Specific overrides general: a general rule, or a specific rule?

    Exactly! I would put it like this: rather than using terms like "general" and "specific" I would place these rules in a hierarchy; at the top are the "first order rules" that apply to all rules of a lower order, but not to themselves. Here you can say that all rules of the lower order are domain...

    D&D 5E Specific overrides general: a general rule, or a specific rule?

    You have me confused with the rule, my friend! My logic is impeccable; the rule is incoherent. But it is interesting that it still "works", isn't it? And it is interesting that is 'seems' plausible when in fact it isn't.

    D&D 5E Specific overrides general: a general rule, or a specific rule?

    Lol, a stern look cannot override the logic. It cannot be a general rule that specific rules override general rules.

    D&D 5E Specific overrides general: a general rule, or a specific rule?

    The rule that specific rules override general rules seems to have the form of a general rule; that is that it should be applied generally, in all relevant situations. However, if it is a general rule that specific rules should override general rules, then what of this general rule itself? It...

    Testing a theory

    My suggestion: don't let your participants in on your hypothesis. ;)
