    Brits United

    First, my credentials - I was born in the North (north of Chester!) but have lived in the South basically all my life. Secondly, for the rugby reference: In November 1886, an unusual series of events led to special consideration being given to the question of whether a dog could be considered...

    Lone Wolf Game Books back in print!

    Book 29 was the last one that Joe wrote before he passed. Books 30 & 31 were co-written by Vincent Lazzari and Ben Devere (Joe's son) using Joe's notes between 2017-2019 and 2020. Those last two New Order books are real chonkers though, with Book 32 reportedly coming out in two parts...

    Lone Wolf Game Books back in print!

    The Collectors' Editions stalled twice, firstly under Mongoose and then under Mantikore-Verlag. Holmgard Press then took back up the baton and have been steadily finishing the Collectors' Editions (including the first ever editions of 29-31), whilst also printing the brand new Definitive...

    It's been a while for this thread, but now all the Definitive Edition Grand Master books have been released! The inside cover of The Curse of Naar also has this spiffing map of the Known Planes.

    D&D General Pick your PHB (Ancestries)

    If I wanted to be really ecumenical, I'd go for: Human (various cultures, including half-elves and psionic humans) Elf ((urban, forest, deep, sea, maybe avian) Dwarf (something a bit different, maybe arctic and volcanic versions) Halfling/Gnome (only one smallfolk analogue, but multiple...

    D&D 3.x 3.0 third party books

    Magical Mediaeval Society: Western Europe is one of my favourite third-party books, taking a thorough dive into actual mediaeval society (and not just Western-styled fantasy settings), urban demographics and even how magical items might factor into feudal inheritance and land management. Monte...

    High-quality systemless books [+]

    The obvious choice for me is A Magical Mediaeval Society: Western Europe, which goes into great depth about how mediaeval society actually worked, with pointers on feudalism, inheritance, farming, the church and so on. Although nominally produced for 3rd Edition, the historical stuff is...

    D&D General Sci-Fantasy Setting Thought

    "Aliens with space blasters" make cameo appearances in the classic Might & Magic RPG franchise. Of course, by the time you get access to the alien parts of the games, you're facing off against dragons, demons, angels and titans, so you don't feel any more like an instant god amongst men than...

    D&D 3.x Still playing 3e? Share your 3.0 and/or 3.5 house rules

    From what I remember, d20PFSRD has a whole bunch of alternate skill uses, both from Paizo and other 3P books. I have used those before.

    D&D 3.x Still playing 3e? Share your 3.0 and/or 3.5 house rules

    Would you be interested in sharing any of this separately? I'm always interested in other people's rules ideas. :)

    WHAMMAGEDDON 2024

    That ***** is very cute! I was walking home through my town's Goodwill evening last week and the gits were playing Last Christmas. It wasn't even December yet!

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Wow. I got maybe two minutes into that video where she's patiently explaining that people should disregard the O in Don and pronounce it as "ah" (you know, rather than the same sound as lot or cot), and I'm suddenly realising how bonkers English must appear to non-native learners.
