    D&D 5E How Are Orcs Different In Your World? (+)

    How are they different from standard D&D Orcs (mindless monsters that worship Gruumsh and can be killed without moral repurcussions)? Well, it's plain to see where your feelings lie. For me, they're fecund monstrous humanoids that worship Gruumsh and are often killed because they give blood to...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    If Hasbro wants my money they'd release pdf's of earlier editions (at the old pricing scheme). I'd prefer dead tree versions but I can't pay eBay prices for some of them.

    The Worst Awsome thing done in a game.

    Kender for the win! My brother was playing a kender handler in 2e days. The group was adventuring near a dormant volcano. The caldera was mostly solid with some sinkholes leading to molten lava. The kender had a ring of feather falling. He decides to jump down one of the sinkholes so see where...

    What are you a minority about?

    Some ways in which I'm in the minority I don't like 4e (It's not D&D just a new frpg that happens to have the D&D name on it). I love 2e (We never power-gamed it. We house-ruled it when needed. Combat is short but meaningful). I love Kender from Dragonlance (my brother could always play an...

    Advice on using GURPs to replace 4E?

    I had the same idea I just finished picking up a bunch of GURPS books to play some fantasy. I decided not to follow D&D 4 and look into other systems. I'm really excited to start reading my books.

    RE: Reveille

    How How bout for those who follow the christian belief we have a fast for him? Prayer is very good as many believe but I also believe that a fast, particularly by a group of people, has surprising power. I plan on this and invite others to as well.

    What was so bad about the Core 2e rules? Why is it the red-headed stepchild of D&D?

    I Love 2e! I love 2e. It's what I play to this day. I love specialty priests, specialist wizards, druids, fighters, some kits. It lets us play the game we want. Mostly through familiarity but also it lets us focus on the game and not on what our characters can do.

    OotS 614 up

    OoTS just gets better and better. diaglo, it's good to see you around. OotS just keeps getting better and better. I'm really glad Rich didn't 'convert' to 4e. Sometimes I almost forget the game when I read these even though the references are still there. Well done Rich.
