Hi all! I'm old-new here (been a member for a long time, but only posted a couple of times about unrelated games). I regularly play Pathfinder with my group for 5 years, as a player, not a DM. With my kids, I've tried to play Pathfinder, and previously DnD 3.5, that all ended in them being...

I am a ranger with a dire boar animal companion. She comes complete with 3 piglets. I gave one of the piglets to a new halfling in the group, and he made it his companion. I still have 2 piglets that I would like to grow to adulthood and make companions to enhance our group's strength. I saw...

I'm sure they're out there.Rather than playing the normal D&D medieval game characters and adventures, what are my options for playing in futuristic settings? I'm talking about adventures, races, classes, gear, etc. set in the future. Could be technological, nuclear wasteland, etc.Are there...

I played with a group on 5e a few months back. They had a monster called the Rug of Smothering. Now, I'm DMing a 3.5 game. I know balance can be an issue between editions, so how would I go about adding that monster to my game, fairly?

I have the opportunity to pick up good copies of both Book of Vile Darkness and Exalted Deeds. One of the people I play with has a lot of experience playing, and says both of these books are broken. I'd like verification that this is the case? Is it worth it to pick the books up?

I've been playing as a PC with some friends for about 3 months now, and it's been great fun! I'm now working on DMing some games with my family, all of which are new. 1. With my family, books are open all the time, searching for the "what to do's" for different situations (them, and myself)...

I'm considering purchasing the OSRIC and MoM manuals. Based on the copyright dates on the 2.2 manual (2008), and MoM (2006) I downloaded from Lulu, the current versions are a few years old. Before I go purchasing the books, I'd like to know if there are any newer versions due to be released...

I have the 3 reprints of the 1E core books. I'd love to have a portable version in PDF format so that I could easily refer to them when I don't have access to the physical books. Where would I be able to get them? I don't think I'm asking for anything illegal, since I already own the physical...

Back in the 80's I remember people wrote everything down on school paper, and drew maps on graph paper. There was no electronic technology involved. l) are very common, and I know they've permeated tabletop gaming to a big degree. There are character generators everywhere you turn, and people...

I'm the proud owner of all three 1st edition core reprints. I'm sure they'll get well used for the duration of my DnD "career". So far they are living in a satchel. And when they are removed, they are carefully handled. I'm wondering how you guys try to keep your books in good shape? Also...

I'd imagine that generally, a dungeon, town or land would still remain, even after an adventure has been completed, unless it was somehow destroyed in some catastrophy. And even then, ruins could still remain, as they would in real life. In the world(s) of DnD, do you recycle your maps for...

Is it me, or is the notation for speed and distance backwards in the 1E MM? For instance, the Groaning Spirit/Banshee's move speed is notated at 15", which would normally read "15 inches". I'd bet that this is actually meant to be "15 feet", which should be notated as 15'. On the same...

Would it be a faux pas for a DM to also play a PC in the same game? I suppose it could garner the DMs PC an advantage.

What would you consider the optimal number of players for a DnD session? My friend and I are working on building a group. I played a game last night that had 7 players and the DM. Game play was fun, but went pretty slow. In the course of about 2 1/2 hours I think I played about 5-6 times.

I could not find an intro forum, so I guess I'll post here. I'm new to DnD, for the most-part. I played a round once back in high school, 20 years ago. The DM was a bit of a problem, so I never returned. Now I found a new friend who also played many years ago, and we're interested in getting...
