    D&D General What races/species populate your DnD world?

    I ended up with a Gully Dwarf PC, because I saw a picture in the Dragonlance Chronicles compilation (it was my book), showed it to the DM, and said "I want to meet THIS guy!" He ended up being the guard at an out of the way intersection, outside the sunken city. STILL not certain anyone...

    D&D General What races/species populate your DnD world?

    The standard, classic races. (and variants thereof) Possibly adding in some from the 3e FRCS, like Aasimar, and tiefling. (with THAT flavor, not the 5e kind) If we're in the Realms. The monster races, anthropomorphic animals, warforged, odd Spelljammer races etc are excluded...

    D&D General Would You Buy an RPG Product Printed on a Gutenberg Press?

    Darn tootin' I would!! Scribes aren't what they once were... Atrocious handwriting, ink blots and spots everywhere, and now they're putting in snarky little opinions in the side margins.

    D&D 5E What could 5E do to make wealth worthwhile?

    When I read "Charge for adventure hooks, I thought HA!! For each hook I dangle that they ignore or refuse? 300gp! Those players with zero ambition, but to sit around town jacking their jaws, and soaking up ale will quickly be broke, lol. Anyhow, carry on.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Haste question

    I had similar thoughts when reading thru the 3E metamagic feats. Neat, but... REALLY expensive! +2 or more to spell level hurts- esp when you only have a few slots available at +2 levels higher... Same with Quickened spells. Just how fast do you intend to burn through your daily...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Haste question

    I'm curious, having seen the discussions for decades, the carrying of lit torches and pitchforks, etal. Would it effectively stop the abuse, if I simply disallowed the ability to cast a second spell in a single round? I ask, because in all my years of playing and DM'ing, I've never used...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I see you've played in a "Bill" dungeon before, lol. Seriously, he was so evil, when it was my turn to DM, he was utterly paranoid- sure I'd take the opportunity to get some payback. I didn't, but it was sure fun to watch! TBF, in the 3e game I'm running now, half the party got dropped...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Not for nothing, but my first impression upon reading the OP, was: you ARE familiar with the internet, and what folks do there, right? lol. But, yeah- the constant kvetching about this or that gets old. As a recovering message board junkie, I know it all too well, lol. Been like that...

    D&D 5E DM imposed restrictions to the game (+)

    Depends on which version we're playing. but, for 5e: I restrict character options to the 2014 PHB. With Dragonborn, Tieflings, Warlocks, and Sorcerors being banned. The latter, because the current spellcasting rules made it a moot point, really. EVERYONE'S casting now works like the...

    D&D General What do you want out of your D&D/RPG games?

    This sounds like exactly how we used to play! THAT'S what I want out of my "D&D" games. (the first half of the post) I've played with people who could turn a simple errand to the mercantile for a coupla flasks of oil, into an agonizing multi-session rp extravaganza... uh, no. Or those you...

    D&D General Is Your DM Out to Get You? [Humor]

    Quite possibly. Not ME , specifically, but he get's requests like " Can I play a plasmoid??" all the time. And he's gotten himself into the deep doo doo, by never putting his foot down, or disallowing anything- while playing with casuals, munchkins, etc. (or the old standard, we NEED this...

    D&D General What modules have you reused for multiple campaigns

    Like the others, I've run Keep on the Borderlands many times, in B/X games, AD&D games, and most recently, 5e, with Goodman Games' conversion. I may even have run parts of the Return to the Keep 30th anniversary module, too. I've played it many times as well. Sunless Citadel. Run it...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Combining 3.0 and 3.5 - A Thread

    I got the latter. Interesting ideas, to be sure, but I hated the races... Never cared for anthropomorphic animals as PC races. I must say, though- 3.5 did the monster summoning spells WAYYYY better. Much more interesting/useful list of possibilities there. I had a Sorcerer use Monster...

    D&D General Why did you have to cancel/reschedule your most recent session?

    not so much cancelled, as stillborn. Work schedules just do not line up. Lack of interest is playing a role, too. The more the other DM and I discuss the game, the less interest I have in playing in that campaign. Add in that it's now a 3 hour round trip drive and...

    D&D 1E Old module question.

    Yeah, we pretty much ignored that, lol. Like we needed our nuts squeezed to convince us to adventure- it's why we played the darn game. In those days, tight fisted and stingy, usually meant no players. I find myself having to beef up the goodies in WOTC era modules- not to Monty Haul...
