That's the only thing I idealize about 3e - not the class builds and theorycrafting, but the breadth of the simulationist toolbox that it provided DMs (and simpler mechanics). AD&D was similar in many regards, but the rules are not as smooth for those who are only used to 5e. Maybe a5e is my...

a5e is your favorite iteration on the official rules?

How do you feel about a5e in comparison to AD&D?

The PCs in 5e also get exploration-negating spells/skills at a fairly low level that make the challenges of wilderness exploration moot. Then, if you ban or alter those spells, skills, or rules, you run into a player-culture issue.

Couldn't/wouldn't the architects of the OGL be called into court to talk about the intent of the license?

That must mean that the old-school is coming back since players often don't learn the rules anymore 😅

Just some flow yoga I found on YouTube (Yoga with Adrienne, I like the dog) - I wanted to fit in some activity on off days and do some flexibility work since as I approach my 40s it’s only going to get harder.

I started running 3x a week last week for the first time, and got two runs in so far this week (one was in the snow!) Did yoga twice on rest days, and there’s more forecasted snow tomorrow, of course on my run day!

I’d think you could do the same but with like “replace pg xx mechanic in paragraph x with DC15” type of thing instead of copying any of the content.

I always wonder why you can’t have a conversion document that only makes things clear within the scope of owning the original document, like referencing page numbers in the original. I did think about just mixing SD with Dolmenwood and crossing my fingers that things don’t break too much -...

Yeah, totally understandable.

I wish Gavin would partner with the converters and release an official conversion. I have the current conversion PDF, but it’s not as comprehensive as it used to be if I understand them correctly because they got into some trouble.

I thought I’d be running Ptolus in SD, but my players surprised the heck out of me and want me to run Dolmenwood (when OSE has not been successful before).

I definitely miss ribbon abilities for classes.

Wow.
