Alternity was great! I picked up a black-covered prerelease version at Gen Con, and we tried its mechanics for a D&D-esque fantasy mini campaign when we were getting tired of 2e. (It petered out.)
Pick your poison.
Voted Menace. I fell asleep during the final battle(s), and I’ve never made it through in a single sitting.
Rise however gave me a horrible throbbing headache and it JUST WOULDN’T STOP. May I never see it again.
(I like Solo and Rogue One, BTW.)
D.C- <1974 (Superman costume and lunchbox in 1974. Adored 1973-4 S1 Super Friends. )

Sigh. I miss enjoying Harry Potter. I do love the first three books.
It's hard to believe that the author's anti-trans crusading only dates back to mid-2020, and before that her shortcomings seemed mostly to be an overreliance on stereotypes, and an inability of her characters to grow much...
I don’t understand. How so?
I see your post as 417. There are a couple missing numbers on a page when I am on my default viewing setting, and those ignored posts reappear at their previously-missing post numbers when I press the “show ignored content” button. The other numbers stay the same.
A block (ignore) list is a wonderful thing for maintaining civility.
Note that the list can be set to be invisible/one-way- thereby not advertising to the people you have blocked that you are not reading their posts. Also, it can be set so the blocked posts are only hidden behind spoiler-like...
My 3.5e-fu has atrophied terribly, but there’s some good/quick discussion of 3.5e elf archery clerics from 2004 in the thread here:

In a 3e campaign, my bard (the eponymous Riley) was eaten by ghouls, because we were lacking front-line defenders, healing, and anti-undead options. So I replaced him with an optimized-for-dungeon-crawling, spiked-chain-wielding elf cleric who could fill our battlefield control...
I might unblock Wizards’ Twitter accounts, and I might re-preorder that Keys book.
But I’m going to wait a few hours first, to see if someone finds a ginormous loophole in this latest Wizards’ gambit.
So: are the publishers and games created under the OGL actually safe now?
My trust for Wizards is low; I would like to know that the CC for 5.1e would preclude them from trying this again next year?
I’m curious about Planescape and Phandelver, but 5e Spelljammer has set my hopes pretty low for Planescape, and their intentional shift to adventures made in small chunks makes me dubious about Phandelver.
Plus, the general Wizards fiasco. 🙃
It may be a pretty cheap year for me! Probably just...
We now have a new subforum called Publishing Business & Licensing where you can discuss all aspects of the publishing process, including the OGL and other open gaming issues, as well as logistics, crowdfunding, and more.
