    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    I think initially when I started in 2e we use the chance to learn a spell but it was quickly discarded along with maximum spells known. It pretty much became "You've found a scroll, is it from a prohibited school? No? Then you can add it to your spellbook." There was probably downtime/costs...

    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    Spell disruption was still in 3e but it was definitely easier on the casters as long as they put decent amounts of skill points into concentration they might be able to "save" against being disrupted or even set themselves up to cast defensively without having to worry about an attack of...

    New Lord of the Rings movie in the works centered around Tom Bombadil

    Is Tom Bombadil and important character? Like, I've heard he wasn't affected by the one ring but that he otherwise didn't do much.

    Yet another "How old are you?" thread

    I just barely count as GenX. I work with some other genX people and they're much closer to retirement than I am.

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    Seriously? That's insane. I can't imagine the amount of hate in their heart someone has to have to do that.

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    The kid playing Harry Potter has to be one of the most Harry Potter looking kids I've ever seen.

    AD&D 1E Revised and Rebalanced Cavalier for 1e AD&D

    When a paladin or ranger loses their status in 2e, they remain the same level and simply lose any excess xp which would, presumably put them 1 xp off from levelling. I'm not sure where I saw it or which edition it was from but I also recall systems setting their xp at the halfway point, this...

    EN World What you thought a thread title said.

    Would love to see that as the title of the setting book.

    EN World What you thought a thread title said.

    I know this is the What you thought a thread title said, but have people ever read a title, gone "WTF, mate?" reread the title, only to realise you did read it correctly? Like this classic from a few weeks back: Do you go in RAW 100%.

    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    1e initiative sounds crazy confusing. I far prefer the ease of rolling a d6 and the highest side goes first. I remember using weapon speeds and casting time in 2e but not sure I can recall how it works now, I don't recall it being as difficult to figure out as 1e though.

    Trailer live action Moana | "Official Trailer"

    I just don't understand the drive Disney has to make live action movies (well, I guess I do if it's just "we want more money"), Moana is one of their more recent movies and it was great, I really don't think that it benefits from a live action adaptation. Still, I do think that Diseny is gonna...

    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    If I was to run 2e again, I'd simply remove exceptional strength from being coupled with an 18 and allow warriors to roll it no matter their strength score. Half the time, exceptional strength only gives a +1 damage bonus anyway so I don't see this as a big deal and you can play around with it a...
