    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    We were down a player this time (wich in a 3 player + DM PF game is significant), so we concentrated on things that didn't require combat.

    D&D General Endless Quest books, remember them?

    Oh yes. I had the first dozen or so. Loved them. Especially the Clyde Caldwell covers. I've used bits & pieces of some of them over the years in various games. Every now & then I've even considered making them into actual adventures.... But then I never get around to replacing the book to...

    TSR TSR3 Blames Widespread Pushback On WotC

    Oh please. It was the recollection of what he thought of as a bullied kid while carrying a violin case 50 years ago. If he'd instead said that he'd wished he could've cast a spell like his D&D character & make the bullies just disappear? None of you would be yapping about it.

    TSR Companies & Freelancers Distance Themselves From The New TSR

    {shrugs} Hating them because they're different (skin color, eyes, whatever) = that's wrong. Hating them because of their actions (or in the case of the complicit civilians, their lack of actions in reigning in their Govts.) that F* up the world, kill 70-85+million people, cause injury &...

    TSR Companies & Freelancers Distance Themselves From The New TSR

    I can't fault your grandparents for that. Based on what was going on when they were children to young adults? They had damned good reason to hate the Japanese & Germans.

    D&D 5E [Hit Points] What method do you use to determine HP after level 1?

    Average or roll, your choice each lv. Declare wich your going to take & roll any dice with the group. There is no option for re-rolling a low result. Afterall, you had the option to avoid that potential & still chose to gamble on getting a higher result... If you're not OK with getting a low...

    TSR Companies & Freelancers Distance Themselves From The New TSR

    Wow. How exactly did your Dad miss: A) shows too numerous to list from the 50's up to that point in time that had no PoC at all. Or, at best, often only some random token character of little importance. B) The all black sitcoms of the '70s?

    D&D General Player Numbers - The Sweet Spot?

    As the DM I generally prefer 4-5. • Because at 3 or lower if someone can't make it you run into canceling games, nerfed encounters, or encounters that are beyond the capabilities of the PCs who are present. • Because in my xp things bog down exponentially at 6+. • It does depend alot though on...

    The problem with Evil races is not what you think

    Yeah. See, I'm lazy though. So I'm just going to keep using evil orcs, goblins, etc. I'm not going to reinvent the wheel. Tell you what though. I'll throw you a bone & concede that somewhere in my make believe world there might well be not-evil-people-orcs. But as the DM? I guarantee that...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    I got the Moderna version. My 1st shot? Several hours later I got the munchies really bad. It was as if I'd smoked half a bag of pot. My 2nd shot? Nothing. Then the next day I woke up with my shoulder aching a bit. And that was that.

    D&D 5E Starting to Hate Hexblades

    Bull. It depends on 1) the character you're playing, 2) HOW you're playing that character. I have a barbarian character who, for her 2nd feat, I took Linguist. She's now fluent in fantasy pseudo-Egyptian/Arabic - wich was of great help to both her personally & to the party during that...

    D&D 5E Starting to Hate Hexblades

    The mechanical answer is an easy one: Don't allow spell slots to shared/interact between the classes. You want to be a Paladin/Warlock? Fine. But you'll track your paladin slots and your warlock slots separately and they aren't affected by the other class..... I implemented this years ago &...

    TSR TSR (2) Confirms TSR (3)'s Acquisition of Trademark (Updated!)

    I vaguely wonder what it would cost me to completely buy them all out of the copyright/trademark/logos etc. Basically put them out of their/our misery. Maybe I'll just have to watch & wait for TSR.3 to slip up & miss a deadline. :)

    TSR TSR (2) Confirms TSR (3)'s Acquisition of Trademark (Updated!)

    I think you need to put some more pts in your Persuasion skill, roll higher, or both....
