    D&D (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    Is it, though? I'd say that it could be argued that PCs murder-hoboing "all the evil humanoids and the women and the children too" says rather more about the players than the module itself. As to the argument that all humanoids are evil and that that's racial stereotyping or even culturally...

    Amen to that.

    Leeching bots?

    Thanks. I see you've also caught the other one I found out about later.

    D&D (2024) You're not planning on getting 2024 D&D? Why is that?

    That would be AD&D for me - i.e., 2E with 1E whenever the rules or sessions call for it.

    Leeching bots?

    Perhaps it's nothing to worry about, but I've noticed that the number of views for a number of attachments in one of my posts has been increasing dramatically over the past couple of days. Now, I'm not very well versed in how the interwebs works, but it seems rather odd that all of a sudden...

    What Actors In Specific Roles Are A Joy To Watch for You?

    It's a tricky question. But here's some I've found an utter joy to watch, in no particular order (although Carrie Coon absolutely blew me away the mostest of all of them): Carrie Coon as Nora Durst in The Leftovers She is so good in this role, especially in Season 1, that it is hard to believe...

    User Name and Avatars: Origin Stories

    Speaking as one, I can assure you that this is not true. I mean, what would we do for servants?

    D&D General One Piece of Art X: The Weird Art

    Artist: Emmanuel Source: White Dwarf 40 (Games Workshop, 1983) Depicting: Um... Well, since my sense of "weirdness" has nothing to do with "gonzoness" (I have always detested Gonzo and the Star Trek critters with a passion, although age has softened my resolve a bit in the first case - poor guy...

    D&D 1E How do you play an illusionist?

    I was wondering the same thing. The document itself rather looks like a submission, what with the staples and all. The yellow bit looks a bit more like something that may have been in a zine, for it has a strong resemblance to what the pages in early issues of Alarums & Excursions looked like...

    D&D 1E How do you play an illusionist?

    I did some digging and found where I got the file from, so a shout out to Jon Peterson for posting it. Playing at the World Vette sjit, wat?* Agreed, though I suppose I can see why Aronson did it the other way round in a weird kind of way. *) Which properly translates to "It rather is, isn't...

    D&D 1E How do you play an illusionist?

    Yup. At least it says so on the yellow bit. So that would make the Aronson illusionist date back to either 1974 or 1975 depending on what month in 1975 Greyhawk was published.

    D&D 1E How do you play an illusionist?

    Et voilà! Fascinating piece. Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember where I got this from. 't Was fairly recent and I must have it bookmarked somewhere but there you go. Also, this rather seems to be some sort of original manuscript rather than how it appeared in The Wild Hunt? Or...

    D&D 1E How do you play an illusionist?

    Well..., technically..., that isn't entirely what Peter Aronson thought. 😄 Source: Peter Aronson, The Strategic Review Vol. 1, No. 4 (TSR, 1975) OK. All kidding aside, I agree, of course, that Illusionists aren't allowed to use wands of magic missile because, well..., Gygax rules! So I guess...

    D&D 1E How do you play an illusionist?

    Well, technically, they could. Source: Peter Aronson, in: The Wild Hunt 19 (1977) For the purpose of which we shall magnanimously assume that "(ALL)" stands for "(any)". All of which is a good thing, for otherwise I'd have to retroactively kill off the Illusionist I played, um..., some time ago.

    Name OAR desires from sources other than TSR?

    Allow me to add everything that Robert Kuntz made over the years after his separation from TSR (and especially before that). Now that would really be something.

    Name OAR desires from sources other than TSR?

    Heh, true that. And I do believe Games Workshop has a strong and well-established tradition of not being forthcoming in this respect - at all. Edit: g>G
