    D&D General Your Core Classes if The Core 4 Aren't Allowed

    I prefer settings without Fighter/Cleric/Rogue/Wizard. And settings without Elf/Dwarf/Halfling/Orc are something I like to toy around with. Doing this in 5e is hard for me. There just aren't enough 1PP classes and I'm not familiar enough with 3PP to really make it work. Using 3.PF classes...

    What's the best food?

    Though I am partial to a good Indian butter chicken.

    Why do you play games other than D&D?

    Speaking of being able to drive nails with anything if it's heavy and hard enough: You can use Cortex Prime to build an incredibly traditional old school game, like a cross between Runequest or Pendragon and The BoL Hack.

    D&D General Best D&D Setting?

    I see you and I'll raise you: Filipino. You're welcome. My go-to is usually Spelljammer; a lot of people are telling you Eberron. My next 3.X game is probably going to be in a kind of Eberron/Rokugan Spelljammer. My current 5e game is more or less generic D&D plus Phantasy Star, more or less...

    AD&D 1E AD&D Retroclone Design Goals

    Group SNE is the Japanese publisher of Sword World and Record of Lodoss War. It's coincidental, but Japanese D&D adaptations/spinoffs are a lot closer to what I think of as "old school D&D" than either "new school" D&D or most of the OSR. I wish I'd known that twenty or thirty years ago. Iron...

    AD&D 1E AD&D Retroclone Design Goals

    Oh, I am not planning to. Just thinking out loud about what I'd like to see-- my WIP owes more to Group SNE and ICE than TSR and I'm only vaguely hoping it'll be of interest to the broader OSR community. There's a lot of overlap between what I'm trying to do with my house system and what I'd do...

    Maintaining your secret identity

    I actually meant that if I were doing good and helpful things with my powers, I'd out myself in a matter of days. I don't need validation the way other people do, but I gloat. Whereas if I could resist the temptations of heroism-- which I really couldn't-- and just stuck to being a bastard, the...

    Juggalo makeup. Whoop whoop!

    Maintaining your secret identity

    I'm certainly not going to be able to maintain my secret identity for very long. Especially if I'm doing good things with my powers. On the other hand, with Superman's powerset? They still teach physics at West Point; I'm not good at math myself, but even I can look up a high-ranking military...

    AD&D 1E AD&D Retroclone Design Goals

    Certainly not the 2e supplements. I'm speaking in the context of an AD&D 1e clone, like OSRIC, where the supplemental classes come from all of two books, unless you wanted to nick some Best of Dragon material. The only 2e supplemental material I'd want to include in a 1e clone would be a quick...

    AD&D 1E AD&D Retroclone Design Goals

    I've wanted to do it myself, but I never landed it. (I've tried.) I'm doing something similar now, but it's too far removed from D&D to really appeal to the retroclone fandom.

    D&D General I Just Want To Teleport and Stab Things

    It's PF1, and it's based on superspeed instead of teleportation, but you might find this helpful: Accelerist Always wanted to rock one of these in a 3.PF Gestalt game-- Magus|Accelerist into the Swiftblade PrC from the old WotC site.

    3PP Release Complete Class Compendium Playtest has ended (Thank you! 🙏)

    I'm not judging. I just don't have positive associations with the stuff; I don't like the way it smells or tastes, I don't like sticky things on my skin, and between poor health and poorer lifestyle, it's ruined a lot of my favorite clothing. If the cyberpunk dystopia I live in weren't so much...

    3PP Release Complete Class Compendium Playtest has ended (Thank you! 🙏)

    I am... really not a fan of "blood magic" and vampire stuff, but Tzimisce and Vicissitude are basically the #1 class I want to play in D&D. Healing and aspirational body horror.
