    African Adventures

    Spears of Dawn by Sine Nomine And Nyambe by Atlas games. Spears is eminently playable, designed to be approachable, and user friendly to folks not knowledgeable on the african-inspired front. And add "Imaro" by Charles Saunders to your reading list. Father of the Sword and Soul sub-genre...

    D&D 5E Why does 5E SUCK?

    The only things that I hate that the release schedule is so low and that it does not sport an ogl. I really feel that those two things will lead it to be not as popular as it could be over the long haul. Other than that it is a perfect blend of everything I liked about 3e and OSR. Nice, neat...

    Recently bought 5.0, being drawn to 1981 Moldvay Basic

    There is an OSR version of the Rules Cyclopedia called Dark Dungeons You can get it in print from lulu for very reasonable price. Just a thought if you want the rules in a cheap hardback. It is a great tome. P.

    D&D 5E Can you like both 5e and Pathfinder?

    Exactly. We play a 5e/Pathfinder/OSR smashup and have a blast!

    D&D 5E Reasons Why My Interest in 5e is Waning

    My 2 cents: #5 - Online tools are not an issue at all for me. #4 - PDFs - interesting business choice. Bottom line is anyone who really wants PDFs of the core can figure out how to get the,. I think that WOTC is missing out on sales because there are folks like myself who buy a lot of PDFs...

    D&D 5E Playing with Hit Dice

    I think I would not make it permanent. I would allow it to be restored one HD each week or month depending on the campaign style. Still enough to significantly impact a current adventure, but ultimately recoverable. YMMV.

    D&D 5E How do you feel about the Forgotten Realms?

    I loved the grey box in the 1980s and the original 16 or so gazeteers. I pretty much played with that for a decade. It was *my* Realms back then with enough detail to inspire, and enough openness to make my own. Honestly, I missed most of the 2e Realms stuff, and never really read many of the...

    Pathfinder 1E Favourite adventure path?

    I am really enjoying "Mummy's Mask" I liked Reign of Winter too (except the trip to the "real world" ep).

    D&D 5E The Case for a Magic Item Shop?

    My take is that just because there are no magic shops, doesn't mean that magical aid cannot be bought or sold. I see the following possibilities: 1. Find a magic user that can create one for you and spend your hard earned coin on. 2. Hire a magic user to accompany you and cast the magics...

    Pathfinder 1E Where does Pathfinder go from here?

    I will continue to support both companies. I lean more towards 5e in style, and don't think conversion is that difficult. I still use my Pathfinder stuff with 5e and have no real problems. Maybe I just ran pathfinder like 5e - all hand wavey. Dunno. I want both to suceed and will continue...

    D&D 5E PHB Disclaimer - Epic!

    Yeah, I am one of those folks who always look at that page in books. When I cracked open the PHB a few weeks ago and saw that it put a big old grin on my face. Cheers.

    D&D 5E Hoard of the Dragon Queen - a solid D effort.

    I liked it. Wow, there is a lot of vitriol in the review and comments. I liked the adventure. It was intentionally generic to make it portable. I could really run this and in FR, Dragonlance, or any other high magic setting. I kept thinking how it was targeted at a newbie, and if I was new...

    D&D 5E I think we can safely say that 5E is a success, but will it lead to a new Golden Era?

    I was real big on 1e, 2e, and 3e. 4e went in the wrong direction for me and left me behind. While initially upset, I eventually accepted it, and then moved on to Pathfinder. In the last year, I have been drawn back into the exciting OSR scene – which is really exciting right now. Dark Dungeons...

    Dwimmermount PDF 1st Draft -- Its Happening!

    I picked it up a couple of nights ago. It is fantastic. Keyed for Labyrinth Lord, but would work for pretty much any OSR game. Would probably really fit Fantastic Heroes and Witchery really well! Quality product - if it ever ends up in hardcover, I will drop the change. P.

    D&D 5E Speculating about the future of the D&D industry/community in a post-5E world

    I vote.... BOTH I think people are pushing an antagonism between the two which may or may not be there. I remember when both Babylon 5 and Star Trek DS9 were on the air. Two sci fi shows telling arc based stories about a space station in space - galactic wars, character transformations, evil...

    Gothic romance horror adventure..?

    I think this is great stuff, and I know several female players who would eagerly play (and therefor I would be obliged to buy!) That said, it is DEFINTELY not Harlequinn. I was forced to read one once, and decades later am still recoverring. I think that it is indeed more Wuthering Heights or...

    Pathfinder Review: Bestiary 3

    Yeah, I thought B3 was better than B2. But then I like lots of unique monsters from a lot of cultures. I was a little underwhelmed by B2, but B3, I have pulled several beasties from it already. Well done Paizo!

    Pathfinder 1E WotBS Pathfinder Compiled Hardcover?

    Definitely. I just bought the Shackled City campaign to use with pathfinder, and would definitely put down the change on a compiled WotBS one. That said, I rarely enter this corner of the forums. You might get more of a response if you put this in the Pathfinder forum...
