    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I just wanted to swing to say that once again I started a thread, but X'ed out the window and said, "forget it" before submitting.

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    Except for one case, every thief I saw in 1E or 2E was a multiclassed character. The one case was a party where people played more than one character, so I played a thief who always was uber cautious and rarely got into direct combat and a elven fighter/magic-user. As for finding and then...

    This thread is like an Edition Cold War. :LOL:

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    I started with B/X-CMI (I never knew there was a difference between my Basic and Expert sets and the continuation in the Companion Set until sometimes in the 2000s!) but dropped it before M and I came out in favor of AD&D. I'd probably try any edition of D&D with the right group (except...

    I checked but both my copies, purchased in 2019 and 2021, are 10th printing (2018).

    D&D General Homebrew Witch Class ideas +

    While I created a witch class by modifying the warlock a good deal, I know you are not looking to do that, I did however control for flavor (I didn't want a witch to be much of blaster either) by curating their spell list from among the lists for other classes (mostly wizard, druid, and cleric).

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    What's that thing where a poster is taking both sides of an argument no one else in the thread seems to be making?

    D&D General Using the Deck of Many Things Tomorrow, Will I Blow Up My Game?

    Well, it didn't blow up the campaign, but it certainly disrupted it some. The drawing of the cards (see OP for their results) went as follows: Fin, the halfling gloomstalker ranger (who I knew would not be able to resist) went first, drawing two cards: 1. Well - learns a cantrip! (in this...

    D&D General Using the Deck of Many Things Tomorrow, Will I Blow Up My Game?

    I don't disagree, but I really want the players to go into this knowing the potential scope, so they don't feel "gotcha'ed" when something really bad happens. Of my current group of four, I have 1 player I know for certain no matter what is gonna draw at least one card (probably more) b/c that...

    D&D General Using the Deck of Many Things Tomorrow, Will I Blow Up My Game?

    I don't disagree, but the cards are being pulled a fortnight before the next full moon and right at the beginning of at least a week of planned downtime, so if someone chooses this one they will have it for a week at the most - and a lot of that will be during overland travel. Yeah. I am...

    D&D General Using the Deck of Many Things Tomorrow, Will I Blow Up My Game?

    OK, so the tl;dr version of this post is the simple poll question, "Will using the Deck of Many Things in my 5E game blow up my campaign?" The party is 4th level, about to advance to 5th. My games usually end before 10th level. The longer explanation is as follows: So, I received the Book of...
