At this point, I feel like we have answered the original question many times over. I note that OP does not seem to be asking this question about Dragonlance, which got announced at the same time as Spelljammer. Maybe they just haven't gotten around to it yet. They did go "meh" about the...

Most any adventure can work in any world. Maybe it'll take some rewriting to localize it. Most any monster can work in any world. There's Spelljammer monsters that fly, you can fly in the air or swim through the water. The focoid can burn you with sunlight in atmo just as badly as out of it...

Yes, absolutely take all the time you need -- we'll be here when you get back.

Some of the older boxed sets might be nice -- Night Below, Undermountain, Eveningstar, the Old Gray Box. They update every Tuesday, but they kept jumping around for a while. One product from each edition might be a good compromise. I enjoy the histories and I also enjoy reading them as products.

Thanks, everyone, for your recommendations!

Hmm. If it runs a graphic program okay, that could be a nice little sketchpad.

My collection of PDF gaming and game-related documents is growing, and I would like to be able to read them without sitting in front of my computer. So my genius brain suggested maybe I should look into a tablet. As suggestions from my genius brain go, this one is unlikely to grow my waistline...

Oh man, spirit reproductions. That takes me back. For me, the 3E core books smell just like a pack of Magic cards, and I'm guessing it's the binding and the ink, maybe the glossy paper itself. I don't think I've ever huffed my 5E books.

This thread didn't have five pages when I started typing that comment, I swear.

It looks like you might be comparing XP award apples with adjusted XP difficulty oranges. The Adventuring Day XP table on pg. 84 says "Adjusted XP per Day per Character." Your ettercaps and spiders encounter is worth 4,200 XP as an award, but 8,500 as a challenge. There's a hair over three of...

Edit: Aw heck, I wrote all this out and forgot the OP was asking for 3.5!! Sorry, I'm a numpty. There are rules for creating monsters in the DMG. You could very easily import the Hit Dice and damage for the monster just by copying them over. The Hit Dice from earlier editions are usually...

My group doesn't usually use encumbrance, but we generally ask for a volunteer to write down all the loot we've discovered, so the players don't get confused and wind up with duplicates if the fighters all call dibs on the magic sword and all write it down. We haven't done mapping on graph...

All the discounted stuff on dndclassics is 1st Edition. FRC2 was published in 1989, so it's 2nd Edition.

Yeah, I knew it was official -- and only a couple pages after Gygax said we'd find none of that nonsense in his rulebook. Consider that official rule grumbled at, too. ETA: Actually, Gateway to the Savage Frontier just rolled me up a woman with an 18 Str, plus it lets you "modify" the...

I just got Gateway to the Savage Frontier and in the game folder there's a PDF called Passwords. For that one you had to look up a word in one of the manuals. Presumably for the code-wheel protection there's a similar PDF, but when I was playing Pool of Radiance last year there was 1) a...
