Zappa says The Return of the Son of Shut up and play yer Dungeons & Dragons

Just for the mischief I would really like to call it: Dungeons & Dragons FIRST EDITION

3 Players - 6 Characters Interesting Thread as it reflects many of the problems I have in DMing. When 4e was new I started a (Test) Campaign with 3 Players. As I wasn't dure about scaling the Adventure to 3 Chars I decided to keep a NPC with the group most of the time. After playing through...

3 Players - 6 Characters Double post

Where does all that money come from ? To put things clear: - I was a supporter of 4e on the first spot - I even like it more after one year of playing - I played 1st 2nd and 3rd before I really like a fantasy world that has some credibility I don't think that a realsistic combat system is...

No Minions without Solos Ahh the first post in this thread that makes sense to me. I for myself had a much harder time to accept Solos than Minions (and so did my players) at least until I realized their Abovementioned connection. While in 3e there was only the Diagonal of the Hp / to Hit...

and another 100% count me in on the 100%

The following changes I made on the fly after my players took agrid with them. I made the elven spy ninaran an actual villain. Agrid tells the players everything he knows, as he expects to be killed by ninaran the moment they appear with him in Winterhaven. But my players lied to him and did't...

My Vote for Loki I think you're quite right jeriatric, but in my opinion your'e Interpretation of the text rather leads to the same conclusion as Loki's. Because in the first part of the text there is nothing written that limits the engagement to the very turn when the DC was cast, you...

Simulation of economy Actually 3.5 was a very realistic simulation of an economy at least until characterlevel 10. I once did calculations on income according to the profession, craft and other skills and even including all phb spells up to level 5 and I found there is only 1 spell that was...

Make it 500 pages Actually I thought of reissuing the original PHB anew each year with all erratas, all improvements, all changes and and all extensions that make it core worked into the volume. Maybe there should be a limit to something 500 pages and 50 Dollars a volume. Of course there...

Last time we discussed the new editions stuff in our D&D party, I came up with a suggestion of which I thought It might be rather exotic. But in the end we all agreed, that that would be the thing we would really want, and that everybody at our table would luckily spend his money for: WotC...

Fluff of the DM As a player since AD&D (never played BECMI) I find the discussion above very interesting, but to my experience the factor DM is far more distinctive for any game fluff, than the different editions. If you have a DM who forbids everything that is not explicitly allowed by the...

This exactly reflects my opinion about 4e, the 1-1-1-1 movement is the only bad rule I can see so far. (maybe the automatic crit may prove problematic too, but I don't know enough by now about the system as a whole to really commit myself)

5 minute mage I think in a good crafted (or at least good mastered) adventure the 5 minute mage never standed any chance. If the encounter is a solitaire one it's ok that it has no impact on others by resting. If an encounter is part of an adventure the opponents should get a serious...

basically right Basically I'm totally your opininion, and so far I have only one rule of 4E discovered in the previews, which totally fails to represent a believable simulation in even a very roughly manner: A diagonal movement counting as 1 says that a Character can move up 40% faster in a...

Reading the forum for some time now Hi all, I'm an old time player from germany playing D&D since 1985. Currently I'm playing a 13 lv clericc / 2 lv divine agent (homebrewed Prestige class) in our ongoing camapign since 1996 (started at 4th lv) Currently our DM shows some tiring and I promised...
