    D&D General Basic Rule Set Help

    Of interest, though not relavant to the TSR Basic sets, there were two other later Basic Sets done for 3.0 and 3.5 editions of D&D. (this is not the Adventure continues box, but an actual Basic Box. Took you from levels 1-3 and had a fighter and Black Dragon on it's cover, 3.5 had a Blue...

    OSR There are TWO 'lost' Gygax castles crowdfunding right now

    I jumped into the Yggsburgh set two. They stated that those who ordered in the first 48 (at least via an email that had me sign up prior to it going live, so maybe only for those who pre-signed up) got a PDF of Gord the Rogue. Which is actually one of the big drivers I had for me to drive up...

    D&D General 1979 AD&D coloring album art sells for $57,500

    The craziest thing about this is I think this was all WotC and had nothing to do with HAS. It's dirt easy to get rid of warehouse stuff (even back then) and not lose every nickel and dime on it. You won't make a profit, you may even lose money, but you won't lose as much money as you would...

    Freebies, Sales, and Charity Bundles for April 6, 2026

    If I understand the blurb tossed in the middle and the gofundme page, it sounds as if SSI took your benefits about a month ago. Any idea why they removed them. Surely there must be a way to appeal that decision, especially if you are still paralyzed from the waist down? I hope you luck and...

    D&D 5E (2014) What would 5E be like if the playtest's modularity promise was kept?

    It's not as old a Rising as others have been. Too continue the trend of Raising the Dead though... It shouldn't have been too hard to actually make 5e modular, it was a choice to decide not to do that. They were too married to Bounded Accuracy and Continuous HP to make it happen. If they had...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms cover to "Guide to the Dalelands" revealed, book delayed

    I really like the Dale Lands. They are on the edge of great ruins, have some of the greatest characters of Greenwood's realms within them, have smaller areas to cover - each with their own set of rulers, situations, politics - and you have the differences between them that can cause opposition...

    2026 Book Club [Discussion]

    I've just taken the monumental step of starting Perry Rhodan. It is a trip that is basically impossible to finish, but I plan on reading here and there (on trips and such, not my basic reading which will still be other novels and books) and slowly making it through...at least the first few sets...

    AD&D 1E What is the best way to generate ability scores for 1e AD&D?

    Any method in the DMG. (Added Note: UA methods not included in this, if one used UA, they still had to roll in front of me, and that was what they got and no one else could use it...). After players have rolled the numbers, any player can use that set for their characters. Thus, if someone...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms cover to "Guide to the Dalelands" revealed, book delayed

    Good eye If you look at the bandit hiding behind the tree behind the horsemen you also see that his hand is at a very weird angle. Also, I'm not sure if the Horses have the right number of legs between them...it could just be perspective, or it could be that they are both three legged horses...

    Shadowrun deserves better

    My exposure to Shadow Run recently was the Trilogy of Games (top Down RPGs) from a few years ago (SR, SR:DF, SR:HK) which were awesome enough to get me to get the 5e version of the game. However, I don't know anything beyond that. I've normally been more of a Cyberpunk gamer as far as that...

    Project Hail Mary Discussion

    I saw the movie yesterday with 3 grandkids. One grandkid summed it up. It was weird, but I liked it. I enjoyed the film more than I enjoyed the Martian.

    Trailer Masters of The Universe – Official Trailer

    I'm kind of the opposite. I was already older and my kids were watching things in the 90s and 2000s. I didn't even see Thundercats until it was on Cartoon Network in the later portion of the 90s at night and absolutely loved it. Didn't require kids to even want to watch it! It was like one...

    $10,000 Lead Artist Contract Open Call for Plotweaver RPF

    10K is an awfully small amount of money. If that's for 4 months of work that would be the equivalent of 30K a year if full time. If they want the best, they need to up the money. Of course, some starting artists will apply, everyone needs to start somewhere, but that's a very small amount...

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Haven't they basically done something like that with things l like Radiant Citadel?

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    I have heard a little about her stances, almost all of it second hand. I don't linger in the crowds that follow this stuff, so overall, some of your post may pertain to people like me. If people realized how many anti-POC or discriminatory artists there are out there, how many there have...
