I've gone back and read The Wizards and the Warriors by Hugh Cook, a book I remember reading years ago. I quite enjoyed it but, perhaps a little unfortunately, it has a point which feels like an ending and I kind of lost momentum after that. Still 16 chapters to go, I'll see about finishing it...

I loved there ending, it set up a second season so I'm glad it's happening.

I keep reading it as Rob Schneider is the product lead which I feel is an odd choice.

One thing I pulled into 5e was things triggering when someone is bloodied, technically already in 5e, high level champions regenerated when bloodied, I think life cleric's domain abilities could heal up people who were bloodied and restore them to no more than half health. I also brought in...

Oh nice, that must have been a great moment winning that, I think every auction I've seen quickly gets outside my price range.

I'm normally a 4d6k3 arrange as desired kind of guy. Back when I ran 2e in high school I allowed 8x 4d6k3 and discard the two lowest scores.

During covid I ran some friends through some old DnD Thunder Rift modules using 5e, creating a mini-campaign. By the time they were 3rd or 4th level they had plenty of magical items lying around, including a couple of spare +1 swords and a magical circlet that protected the wearer with a...

Melf the consipiracy elf. Should his name be changed to Celf?

I really like the old colour of magic article from dragon magazine and like having unlimited cantrip magic, but only for atmosphere, I'm not sure how I feel about the attack cantrips of 5e, on the one hand, I love them because it makes the spellcaster feel magical since they don't have to resort...

I wouldn't like that in TSR editions, once they standardised the xp across the board I think I became less likely to care about xp. If I was going to use milestone levelling in 2e, I'd probably use the fighter xp chart and hand out the xp needed for a fighter to hit the next level. At least...

2e doesn't really use level titles so I've never really been up on the play with them. I did look at your spell slot table but I wasn't able to quickly tell if anything much had changed. I think I checked level 12 to see if you'd altered it, I missed that 1st-level spell slots had 5 instead of...

It was also a rule in BECMI (so, presumably also early BX), spell memorisation only took an hour so it could also be a case of looking back at older editions.

I want to say that I didn't move on to the latest version of L5R which I think went the way of special dice which I normally can't be bothered with, but then I realised I mostly bought the books of the previous edition to read through and haven't ever played it.

Oh right, I remember that. I think he saw a whale or a pot plant or something. I don't think I was ready for that to come up as an acronym in a dnd context.

What does this stsand for?
