You might find Anthony Huso's blog useful, since he went back to AD&D and has a lot of advice about how to play it. Blue Bard He also claims to be playing AD&D "by the book" which most people think is impossible.

That version of the puzzle seems a tad easy ...

I think the WotC campaign titles are intended to convey "buy this, it'll be awesome" rather than provide useful information. I'm always interested in new adventures, for any edition of D&D, but I've stopped buying WotC ones. The titles may have had something to do with it. For some reason...

I've only seen this once, in a 3rd edition game. The party were on some kind of floating platform, with another platform nearby. The whole area was shrouded in mist, and we had no idea how far down it was to the bottom. The armour-wearing fighter, quite strong but with no ranks in Jump...

Raging Swan has converted a few of their adventures to 5e, available as Print on Demand at Drivethru. This one is a pretty good short adventure for 1st level characters (at least, I like the Pathfinder 1e version) for £7.25. 38 pages, but about half of that is the description of the nearby town...

I actually had a player who insisted that his character died, which I found surprisingly impressive. We were a player short (and the way we run it is that if the player isn't there, the PC isn't there either) but I decided not to tone down an encounter to compensate, on the basis that the key...

Am I the only one excited about Miska the Wolf-Spider? I thought this site tended towards the (ahem) more experienced demographic.

Have you seen Pathfinder's Anadi? Cuteness personified (unless it's just me!) https://2e.aonprd.com/Images/Ancestries/Anadi02.png

I think you could get very long odds on a San Francisco 49ers win at this point ...

I've been playing PF1 for a long time, and I have all the books apart from the hardcover Book of the Damned (haven't been able to find that at a reasonable price). I feel like I know how to run PF1 games, even high level ones, and the groups I play in are happy with PF1. I have enough PF1 to...

From what I can tell, Pathfinder Society adventures are really short, designed to fit into 4 hours, and each "season" has a metaplot that some of the scenarios advance but others are "stand alone". I like the metaplot of season 8, so decided to buy the ones that were linked to it, for a possible...

Ah, that explains it. I was replying to (and quoting) your post #298, in which you said there were 5 editions of D&D.

Where, prior to my post #355, did you mention AD&D? Apologies if I missed it.

So long as I'm confident the DM has spent lots of time and effort coming up with a coherent magic item economy, created a lot of memorable and quirky NPCs and magic item shops, and generally gone all out for verisimilitude, such that I could spend the session shopping if I wanted to, then I'm...

So when you said there are clearly only 5 editions of D&D, in the post I quoted earlier, what you actually meant was there are 11 editions of D&D. Is that clearly 11 editions of D&D, or are the first 6 a matter of opinion?
