Personal preference is probably a significant factor as to what rules are used. Training rules were never used (as far as I can recall) in any of the many different games/groups of AD&D I played back throughout the 80's. GP=XP was largely ignored in most too. In fact now that I think about it we...

Alas I couldn't afford to back the print copies, but couldn't resist this offer. Looking forward to reading it! :)

Out of curiosity (and I suspect this is my ignorance) does anyone know if any credible research has ever been made public of the number of Online VTTPG players compared to Face to Face players? I get there's a mass of complications with that seemingly simple query (one set is comparatively...

Very true.

In the past I've found one solution for unconscious or otherwise not-in-this-scene pc's is to invite the relevant player(s) to act as mini-DM's in rolling/controlling enemy combatants. Normally I'd give a strategic objective and then allow them to make tactical decisions themselves. Kind of...

Well you do fun with rigour and style, which is a rare (and perhaps niche) combination that I for one applaud. :)

Superb article(s) @Echohawk , absolutely jam packed with detail and insightful explanation with top notch scholarship! Love reading these. I missed a lot of detail between 2nd and 4th editions due to playing other systems, so this series has become an excellent neutral window into the relative...

When first scanning the title I read "It's time for D&D legal!" and inwardly groaned wondering what NuTSR had been up to now..

Earnest or Lighthearted could be another. On one level these dichotomy discussions are making me feel a little like I'm creating a 1st Edition Pendragon character..

Looking at that map image suggests to me that in the 12th century (or whenever) the British mainland was actually the shape of an adolescent Geiger-designed Alien.. (which I've always suspected). It also hints at population and political power being prisms through which pre-modern societies view...

I was target age but remember being baffled by what I now recognise as 60's inspired early 70's British kids TV stylings.. All that stuff could be ripe for one shot conversions with the right (or rather left field) mechanics to charm and/or slightly weird out a whole new generation

I've no issue with Halflings as presented, but then again my gateway to rpg's was definitely Tolkein. I've played them many times (didn't play the Kender when we did Dragonlance way back when but then only because someone else had already bagged the character). On reflection I can't think of...

Donated; highest praise to you all for bringing your skills and reach to bear to help those displaced by this senseless real world conflict.
