Keldryn reacted to Don Durito's post in the thread D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Gladiator: The Narrative Dissonance with
Like.
I tend to think a lot of the issues of this kind are that while NPCs don't have to follow the exact same rules as PCs they should at... -
You have that talent, it's just not written on your character sheet: skip your turn in combat and spend the action trying to hide...

Keldryn reacted to Whizbang Dustyboots's post in the thread Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+] with Like.
Yep. In some games, people brought multiple characters. Now we've switched to a troupe-style play, so that people can rotate in whatever...

Keldryn reacted to Whizbang Dustyboots's post in the thread Shadowdark Let's make Shadowdark monsters! with Like.
A belated to companion to the homebrew Shadowdark classes thread. I've been making custom Shadowdark monsters as long as I've been...

My experience so far is that it delivers much the same experience as Basic and AD&D back in the day, with fewer house rules or much less...

Sounds like I might understand the premises of the OSR better than some of the Shadowdark GMs I have played under. Maybe I should try to...

Keldryn reacted to Whizbang Dustyboots's post in the thread Shadowdark Finally Played Shadowdark with Like.
You do you, but you should note that 99% of the people in this thread are saying that Retreater's bad experience is largely due to inept...

Keldryn reacted to Thomas Shey's post in the thread D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight? with Like.
And no offense to people who feel otherwise, but I do still stand on the point that the problems with 3e were to a large extent, baked...

Keldryn reacted to DeadlyUematsu's post in the thread D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight? with Like.
The higher levels (13-20) weren't really playable space. Gary Gygax is oft-quoted as saying that 16th level in 1e is the practical...

Keldryn reacted to DeadlyUematsu's post in the thread D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight? with Like.
This was a bit of a toughie. Based on my more unpleasant experiences with 3e and inferring from what I saw as a GM, 3e seems to be good...

My favorite debunking story: In my philosophy class at university, the professor asked everyone in the room who believed in ghosts to...

No, the goal is rarely to kill a monster. The shadowdark (and OSR in general) intention is that the monsters are a danger/challenge to...
