    D&D General At what level(s) do you start your D&D campaigns?

    At this time : 81 votes. 66 votes for 1st level and 32 votes for level 3. When I started this thread I wanted to know two things: 1) How many start at level 3? Consistently since the beginning the ratio as been 1 for 2. That is quite a strong showing for 3rd level. I didn't think it was that...

    What's the most expensive RPG product you've bought?

    I voted 50-100$. I refuse to pay more than 60$ Canadian for a singe RPG book. But then I turn around and buy the whole set of Modern AGE + Fantasy AGE books within 12 months...

    [Wargame] Clash of Spears. Antiquities Skirmish Battles

    Received my SPQR models today. At first glance I'm happy with the sculpts. The elites and leaders are in resin instead of metal.

    D&D General At what level(s) do you start your D&D campaigns?

    Six months and only 2 games or six months and weekly games? Makes a big difference. ;)

    D&D General At what level(s) do you start your D&D campaigns?

    WOW! I'm curious. How long was each session? Do you award XPs or do you use Milestones?

    D&D General At what level(s) do you start your D&D campaigns?

    The only time I used level 0 (2e) was to play out childhood incidents that triggered the desire to become an adventurer later in life. I made an individual session with each player and developed the background. While it was an interesting way to build a character background it was too much work...

    RIP. His cover of B4 sold it to me. Great sense of humour in many of his drawings.

    D&D General So what colour are your dwarfs and elfs?

    Whatever the PHB, the Monster Manual or adventure says.

    D&D General At what level(s) do you start your D&D campaigns?

    We often ask at what level campaigns end but at what level do you start them? I used to start them at level 1. Now I start at level 3. I recall starting one at level 5. Highest I started was level 9 to do a specific module mini-campaign. What about you? You can make multiple votes.

    D&D 5E Should D&D 5e have Epic Levels?

    At your table maybe, but there are thousands of fans of the Expert Set (and BECMI or RC or AD&D) who gladly incorporated these notions in their games since it came out. There is nothing sad about that. I certainly welcomed it with joy in 1981. I play Munchkin when all I want to do kick the door...

    D&D 5E Should D&D 5e have Epic Levels?

    It comes from data not belief. From what I recall about the D&D Beyond graphic published a few months ago almost no one plays beyond level 10-12. I never GMed beyond level 12 since 1981. By the time we get to level 12 I'm usually tired of the campaign and want to DM something new. I voted no. As...

    [Wargame] Clash of Spears. Antiquities Skirmish Battles

    The counters they use a really nice and detailed. After playing INFINITY (Corvus Belli) I'm no longer bothered by an over abundance of counters on the table. :ROFLMAO:

    Dragon age GM help required

    Also, don't forget to adjust creature damage. It has to be fair on both sides! :ROFLMAO:

    Dragon age GM help required

    I play Fantasy AGE which is very similar. Armour damage reduction is a problem. In the Fantasy AGE Companion book Green Ronin suggests adding +1d6 across the board. I find that too powerful. 3d6+1d6 is too much for a two-handed axe. Instead my solution was to make all weapons with 1d6 become...

    Lesser-known sci-fi settings

    Having stats for weapons and equipment is nice. Less work. Psi powers could work for me as it is an old school sci-fi trope. Magic definitely not.

    D&D General The Importance of Page 33

    It all comes down to the pre-campaign discussion. I pitch a concept, the players tell me if they like it. If they do, then they abide by the limits of the concept. If there is too much grumbling I find a new concept based on the comments. I will say I'm glad Game of Thrones was published and...

    I went with the Macedonians. This game doesn't have official models. I chose Warlord Games SPQR miniatures. Leaders Troops Veterans

    Seems they finally published the Threats Database (Bestiary) and Campaign Guide in PDF. I've been waiting for them. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/285863/Esper-Genesis-5E-Threats-Database
