    D&D General Past and Future of D&D at GaryCon, w Dan Ayoub and Luke Gygax

    Man I loved getting more HP or just 1 new spell when I leveled in AD&D (and OSR). Meant you lived longer. My modern player taken back to Old School loved it to. Heck I'd say they were more excited.

    D&D General Past and Future of D&D at GaryCon, w Dan Ayoub and Luke Gygax

    I took a group of 5E players and had them play AD&D. All but one liked it. One guy said he felt like what he did actually mattered. He usually played a Fighter. Which yeah, AD&D you needed people in the front lines taking and giving damage. Not so much now. The magic users, cleric and...

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Coming From Luke Gygax & WotC

    I play OSR because I want a less bloated game that's not so pro-player survival. I say this as someone who is currently running (and enjoying) Daggerheart where the players literally cannot die unless they want to. D&D is just too much and too fluffy. I honestly can't say I'd ever run...

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Coming From Luke Gygax & WotC

    That mended rift came full of cash, I'd bet. Glad they've made up. Good to see Gygax names on D&D again.

    WotC WotC Winter 2026 D&D Community Survey

    Im not saying they shouldnt earn money, I'm not an idiot and I know how the world works. But I also know a Corp is in it for the bottom line and not for players happiness / whats best for the consumer. Yes, both can happen but at the end of the day money comes first. That's the real world.

    WotC WotC Winter 2026 D&D Community Survey

    “Do you trust WotC to do right by you” “No.” “Why not?” “I don’t trust any for-profit company. Corps are not your friends.”

    As someone who bought a TON of 3rd Ed Unofficial/3rd party stuff that just collected dust, I never to rarely buy 3rd party material anymore for anything.

    Vampire the Masquerade: Love the setting but not the system

    I was going to say VtM fixes a couple of issues I had with old WoD but I see that’s not your issue. Perhaps WoD D20? It’s certainly a thing.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    SD is a odl school style enough where having enough PCs/Hiringlings to fill gapes is needed. Need more front line beef but only 1 PC Fighter? Hireling. No Wizard or Cleric? Hireling. Etc Horses with saddlebags and/or a cart/wagon holds all the stuff they need instead of having to trek back...

    My Changing Thoughts on Science Fantasy Games

    Shadowrun is my fave Magic + tech setting. Used to lament the crappy system. Luckily Anarchy exists!

    OSR Castles&Crusades Interview

    I bought the retro style box set and was missing rules etc. I had to look up a full book to get all the info I actually needed to play. An amazing oversight on a rather nice product.
