    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    If original backers don’t get their full refund you will know that Bledsaw didn’t get any overflow payments.

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    I would generally prefer a system less sourcebook for the setting (as I believe was done for Willow) or an existing system for most of them over a wholly new system for most of these types of movies.

    Minimalist and One Page RPGs

    I played a fantasy D&D hack of Honey Heist and really enjoyed it. You roll to give yourself a multipart archetype as character creation and basically go. You have two types of skills both at 3. To succeed at a skill check when things were in doubt roll your stat or under on a d6. If you fail...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    $130 for the PDF even with the 10% old KS discount $117 is way more than I am willing to spend. I pledged $15 for the Pathfinder 1e PDF, about 8 times that for the 5e version is right out for me. Looks like I'll get about eight or nine dollars of a refund if it hits around $500K (a bunch of...

    D&D General Satanic Panic at the Disco- Did Beelzebubba Cause D&D's First Crash, Y'all?

    That hit too close to home for me. :)

    Do You Care About Cosmology?

    Most cosmology about planes I don't care about. I really like 4e's world axis. I like the Norse Nine Worlds. I have known a bunch about the Great Wheel since the 1e era with the little bits in the PH, DMG, and Deities & Demigods, then eventually 1e Manual of the Planes and it is OK. I enjoy...

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    AD&D 2e did have a rule for triggering on a failed roll, though it was not all failed rolls. 2e PH page 56 in the thief class description under find/remove traps: Once a trap is found, the thief can try to remove it or disarm it. This also requires 1d10 rounds. If the dice roll indicates...

    Do You Care About Cosmology?

    I really enjoy cosmology stuff and it can really engage me or turn me off depending on how it is handled. As a player I am first focused on what we are immediately dealing with and have no problem with a lot being undefined. I really enjoyed the Hobbit without having read the Silmarillion...

    OD&D Feb 16th: Holmes Basic Day (Anniversary of J. Eric Holmes' Birthday)

    Mechanically they were a Gish fighter mage, they could do both fighting and casting but not as well in either category as either dedicated class.

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    I allowed the UA human rolls option in addition to the DMG methods in my long term 1e campaign. I think those generated the highest average RAW legal stats in D&D's history of options and had the good stats tied to your class concept. Still ended up with a party that included 4 elves (two...

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    That's a lot for the 4d10 (avg 22, max 40) + con bonus per level that a 4th level fighter gets. 18 con and a little above average rolls or 15-17 con and really good rolls.
