As an aside, just thinking out aloud, really: How does "derailroad(ing)" sound to you? :) (Yes, I know guess the polar opposite of a railroad is a sandbox in rpg context. "Derailroading" could be the verb for moving a railroaded, tunnel-like construct towards a sandbox without getting it...

No. Now you missed my point, apparently. We definitely did not use them because of Jaquays, because we did not have access to anything she wrote. For a while we didn't even have a PHB, we started out playing a 100% homebrew based on a few paragraphs we read about D&D. See, this was before the...

I may have missed the finer details. Or even the whole thing. 😬 In that case, I'm sorry. I admit to have only very, very superficially looked into this thing. (It's just weird in general when somewhat better known people write an article about some ancient thing or practice that most...

A friend of mine called John wrote an article someplace about rolling dice (summary: you pick up some dice and throw said dice in your hand on some surface, with a force nobody present has any reason to object to, wait for the dice to stop, then read what the dice says). John now wants you all...

Andor is also a Hungarian male given name (so yeah, travel to Hungary, and chances are you'll find a few more Andors even today.) The etymology of the name is somewhat unclear afaik, but one theory is that it's a shortened version of the old "Andornak", which itself is the Hungarian version of...

Though not exactly the same as it doesn't feature bands, but in case you missed it give a try to the soundtrack of Planescape: Torment (just search youtube for it.)

My AD&D 2nd edition Menzoberranzan boxed set. Weirdly enough I'm not a huge fan of Drizzt (read about 3 books of the series only), nor was the box especially great, yet I miss it for some strange nostalgic reason. (Sold it because I needed the money ages ago.)

1) What is your favorite DND class? Monk 2) What is your favorite race? Half-elf 3) What is your favorite setting (if own setting such as a homebrewed one, just write homebrew)? Homebrew 4) What is your favorite alignment? True neutral 5) How many hours per session do you...

Are you sure it dies? We see it stop trying struggling to get in and drift away, but does that really mean it's dead?

A bunch of them go rogue to get THE PLANS and in the end they get THE PLANS but they all die (and aren't even mentioned in the sequel which gets released about 30 years earlier through tricking time.)

@Dannyalcatraz Now that's a bit of a flood, isn't it? :D It would've been easier to post a public playlist of all these songs with a write-up about what's what. @Eyes of Nine Amazon's The Rings of Power (2022) is rather divisive, but I haven't yet seen anyone disliking its music. (I'm not...

Considering what they've done so far with RL and SJ, I'm not entirely sure I'd want them to tackle any other old setting. YMMV, of course.

There's a conversion posted / linked over at reddit at . The same may have been posted elsewhere too, go check it, see if it's the one you're looking for.
