Considering that most people know what you're talking about if you use the term D&D half edition, it has an accepted meaning. OK? So we can only use terms as WotC has defined them? That particular chain of comments was about D&D, not about all games.

Wow, you want to give more than just one-word answer here? Something to support your claim? And yes, half-editions are a thing. It's why it was called 3.5 and not 4e. You can call it a revised edition if you prefer, but that's just nitpicking on the name. And no, it doesn't matter what Call...

@Soloist didn't say that 2e was a dramatic departure from 1e, and 3.5 was a half edition. If AD&D was being published today, I'm pretty sure people would be calling 2e a half-edition. Also, what Pendragon and CoC do isn't what D&D has historically done and so is irrelevant. Especially since you...

Pick the undead one and say you're an agent of Azalin. He and Strahd are rivals, so that would be a lot of fun.

Yeah, but you also get like, Tier 4 minions, so... I dunno.

Speaking of SJG, I'd kind of like a new edition of In Nomine. I've only played it once but it had an almost-but-not-really-GURPS clunkiness to it.

Holy cow! Welp, I'm signed up.

In all seriousness, since there's no way to adequately represent real-life damage in a game (simply because there are so many different bits here), yes, they would. In real life, a well-placed shot would automatically kill any of those. So unless real-life people are critting all the time, yes...

I just grabbed the Mortasheen book (in pdf). I'd been waiting forever for it to be released, although I've been wanting it as a setting guide/monster book for reading rather than as a game. As a setting guide, it's great. Fun concept, fun monsters, fun world. As a game, it seems simple enough...

OK, I've seen that huge collection of house rules your table uses. It's practically a brand new game that's only vaguely based on AD&D. Do you honestly think that might not be a turn off to people who thought they were getting into a regular AD&D game?

I just say 5.24 and 5.14.

Because people like consistency. They don't want to necessarily learn a bunch of rules that are only applicable at certain tables. Especially if they play at multiple tables. "Oh, wait, I've been rolling critical damage all wrong. It's Bob's table that maxes one die, not Steve's table." Because...

...in a cameo in Captain Marvel #14, in 2013, by, among others, Sana Amanat, an editor at Marvel and a woman of Pakastani descent. Her first solo comic, Ms. Marvel (2014) was written by a woman who converted to Islam. So no. You're wrong. She wasn't created to be a "positive token." She was...

Perhaps not, but it explains why people may be less willing to resort to lots of house rules anymore.

There are people who get offended if they see a character in a D&D book who looks like they could have a name like "Luis Carlos." That is, if they see someone they don't think is white enough. So, how do you propose one should seem ideologically neutral in a situation like this? Do you do this...
