    RPG Evolution: Taking the Initiative

    I have a 7-player game coming up. I'll probably just go around the table, starting with whoever had the highest init contest. I'm curious - unless single actions are make-or-break (at what, 1st level?), what's the reason that each PC needs its own initiative count?

    OD&D Using magic to help build an undispellable castle

    Unseen servant + haste. Give it a belt of ogre strength if necessary. Or find a band of dwarves and promise them their own tavern.

    Yet another "How old are you?" thread

    I'd rather see Member Level. I have 3,602 XP, putting me comfortably at 3rd level on the unified 3e table ;)

    Bad news for Duncan Idaho

    It's probably because sexual reproduction produces the errors anyway, and those errors are called evil by the parents/community, who then float those errors down the river so the gods can decide what to do with them. Dog breeding is quite a bit older than cloning, and has already resulted in...

    Bad news for Duncan Idaho

    Humans needed to clone something 58 times to see why mutation and Darwinism have worked for eons?

    I made a website to compare TTRPGs

    Wow! Way more convenient than the previous GLOGs* I've seen. The "dice" category in the overviews doesn't seem to be doing much work; it seems to mean "you won't be able to play this game if you're missing this die in your set." What about diceless games? I might like to see categories like...

    Antimatter transported by CERN

    No, those are for transporting ectoplasm. In fact, a ghost trap looks a bit too large for 92 anti . . . Negatrons?

    Is this what it feels like to be a forever GM?

    Step 1: print 20 shirts that say "I'm always right" on front, and "Rule Zero" on the back. Hand them out to any "GM" who completes a game session. Step 2: run easier games. D&D has one rule book for all the rules, another rule book that tells you how to use those rules, and another one that's...

    D&D General Favorite Underrated D&D Monsters for Low-Level Encounters

    And here I thought it was a thread about how WotC broke 6e. 5.5e. I guess I have some reading to do . . .

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    RPG Evolution: Me vs. the Mob

    Players are like toddlers; it helps to tire them out. Throw a handful of d20s across the room and tell them they can keep whichever roll they grab first!
