    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    It's almost like the ratio between the discount and the full price remained constant! :p

    Dragonbane Announces Two New Books

    You say that like it was a bad thing.

    BrOSR

    Yes, but I wonder if, paradoxically, being so unclear actually turned out to be an advantage for D&D. Different folks saw different things in the game and thus it maybe was far more successful than it would have been otherwise.

    eBook Prices - Is it just me…

    Yes, exactly. And I'll go out on a limb and suggest that the huge majority of users didn't notice or didn't care.

    D&D General When We Were Wizards: Review of the Completed Podcast!

    Why are you calling Lorraine Williams as Kathleen Kennedy? Is it because Kennedy has been also attacked by rabid Star Wars "fans"?

    This looks fake to me. I mean, where does he find the time to game with four young kids at the same time? :unsure:

    eBook Prices - Is it just me…

    Same. I bought at least a thousand ebooks on Kindle, but I stopped the day they removed the option to download a copy on a PC.

    D&D 5E List of Saving Throw Boosts

    Dwarven resilience grants advantage on saves vs poison (or to end the poisoned condition in 2024),

    How long before you tire of a thread here?

    I tend to tire pretty quickly, since there is a tendency for reiterating points over and over and entrenching in one's positions.

    Adventures Dark and Deep Core Rules 2nd Printing

    I have the books. I've never run the system "per se", but I've lifted some stuff for AD&D. It's post-UA AD&D on steroids. If this had been available in the late 80's, I think that my brain would have exploded with joy... :D Nowadays, I prefer things to be a bit simpler.

    Pirate Borg: Buried in the Bahamas

    "Belong?!I I'm a free bird!" squawks indignantly the parrot.

    D&D General The First Demise of TSR: Gygax's Folly

    Yes, I can fully empathize. However, I must admit, that back when I bought it, I really didn't have a clear idea of what Castle Greyhawk was supposed to be. I was still very disappointed in the module and I thought that it was extremely lame. I've never used it.

    TSR I need assistance finding a possibly imaginary box set

    I guess they were somewhat rare even back then? I don't think that I have ever seen one of them here in Italy. In those years, I also used to go fairly often to the US and I would go to gaming stores and I didn't find them (or, maybe, saw them and forgot about them).

    D&D 5E Aerial combat in 5e

    It is actually fairly detailed with 2 1/2 pages of rules and some optional guidance on using hexes. True. In general, I don't think that it is easy to have decent mounted combat rules in the framework of 5e rules. But I'd love to be proven wrong from some third party supplement!
