I'll always have a special place in my heart for B/X where I had my first games... but the 1e AD&D DMG made me a DUNGEON MASTER! I haven't looked back since.

You don't need to bash anyone to tell them that the current schedule just isn't working out for you. Just be up front and tell them that you're dropping out/calling it quits while you figure out what you want to do. In the mean time you can poke around and look for another group to join, if you...

Yeah, I should have read that a little closer.

I'm guessing it doesn't free up your allies from the 1 AP/combat rule, so it's not going to be a game-breaker.

You can type in over the ability scores listed. Don't use the +/- buttons, just type a score into the square boxes to the right of those. It let me put in arbitrarily high values, but I didn't test up too high (but it let me give a dwarf 40 Dex)

I think as long as the Blade Barrier is there I would consider it Hindering Terrain and give anyone forced through it a save to fall prone for each square that they would take damage.

Yeah, we're houseruling no +1 if 5', but you can still move and attack. It just broke it for me too much when a player standing from prone had to charge the guy 30' away instead of the guy 5' away.

I played it a fair bit with my friends (original version, we never had SI). For some reason we always did quests to kill Anne Beatrice. It always involved using kung-fu to get into position, shooting her, then battling out. Not exactly how the game is supposed to be played, but we were 13-14 at...

How about Derro?

While I think that Lizard is probably correct, I would also think that after falling prey to the same problems on and off for the last 4 years or so (the earliest I can remember XX is Complete Divine), I would think that they would add 'search for XX' to their signoff process for the document...

I would imagine that they're a little worried about the WotC product taking away business (which it's probably doing, even unreleased), and they want to get some press showing that they have a product worth ripping off. They've likely factored the cost of the lawyers against the pr value, and...

It's a contract to both use their toys, and put their logo on your product. In this case the restrictiveness means a couple of things. 1. All the wahoo engine stuff like M&M, Spycraft, True20, etc. will still be the purview of the OGL crowd. 2. This is about getting support for D&D, with...

I think they fudged things inelegantly to hit 1000000. Look at the monster xp. Standard monster xp starts at 100 at 1st, adds 25 xp each level for 4 levels, and then doubles the amount added every 4 levels. Except at 22nd, where it's messed up as well. It's not as odd as character xp, but it...

I don't know if you'd consider it an easter egg or not, but some of the art in the DMG references adventures. The ones I recognized: - Drelnza's chamber from S4 as seen from the balcony - Forge of Fury cover battle with 4e characters - one of them looks like the recent caves of chaos picture...

I want to play a star pact Eladrin Warlock who fey steps as much as possible to revel in the space between worlds.
