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

    What? How far off in the deep end do you have to be to consider that woke??

    "The Suicide Squad" trailer

    Nah, even though he even looks like roadkill walking, there's jokes & gags aplenty to be made using Weasel before he's offed. Yeah, he'll (probably) buy it, but only partway through/late. I'm picking Javelin - the idiot in the super bright yellow & blue costume. I don't see him adding anything...

    D&D General Justifying dungeons for the modern age

    Oh I like mega-dungeons as well. I just don't think there needs to be only one explanation for all of them.

    Worlds of Design: To Move or Not to a New Edition?

    Well, one of the things I've always liked about 1e is it's arcane clunkiness. I liked it as a kid, I liked it as a teen, I liked it once 2e had arrived, & I still like it.... I largely lose that in 2e+. :( Wether a new edition is technically better isn't enough. I also have to like it. I also...

    Worlds of Design: To Move or Not to a New Edition?

    Sometimes stay, sometimes move, sometimes play both, sometimes move & then move back, sometimes play mostly one version & occasionally some other. Depends upon the edition and, to an extent, the group.

    D&D General Monster ENCyclopedia: Flail Snail

    Gods I love monsters out of the 1e FF..... :) I find it most amusing that the thing wails loudly for 1=3 turns as it dies. Lol. The final FU to the adventurers after they've expended resources beating it down & maybe being affected by their own spells. "Fine. Kill me. But I'm going to tell...

    D&D General Justifying dungeons for the modern age

    Sure, that could explain some of them. But I'd never adopt it as the de-facto explanation for all of them.

    News Digest for the Week of June 25

    Ooh, I like that picture of the Enterprise. Who's the artist/what's the original source?

    D&D General Monsters from secondary Monster Manuals you got a lot of fun out

    My favorite extra monster book is the 1e Fiend Folio. Open it to just about any page. Odds are very high that I've used the critter more than once. :) Several particular favorites (that aren't Drow) are: *Osquips *Death Dogs **Hook Horrors **Grell *Crypt Thing *Oriental Dragons But the list...

    D&D General My Problem(s) With Halflings, and How To Create Engaging/Interesting Fantasy Races

    1/2ling weren't an uncommon sight in BECMi/1e/2e games. At least not in any groups I played with/ran games for. As for that 2e book? TSR was scaping the bottom f the barrel in those "Complete" books loong before they got to the halfling/gnome book. They got worse & worse and this one read...

    D&D 5E D&D 5E: Ranking every published adventure, using Amazon reviews

    Hmm. Not terribly useful. I see 11/14 entries sitting at a 4.8 rating, with the outliers of that group within %5 points of each other. That doesn't help me narrow a choice down. At the best, and pretending Amazon reviews are all accurate & truthful, that just tells me WoTC produces a very...

    D&D General My Problem(s) With Halflings, and How To Create Engaging/Interesting Fantasy Races

    Or, you know, more pages could just be added to the PHB rather than cutting the halfling. That way you can rejoice that xyz was finally added, those of us who like halflings/Hobbits remain happy, and the vast majority who don't give a( naughty word) about either continue to not give a (naughty word). We all win...

    D&D 5E How long does it take to level?

    There's a flaw in your assumptions. And that's that assuming adventures adventure (I.E. having those 6-8 encounters) every day until they max out. I don't know how your campaigns run, but in 40 years I've never yet run a game where that pace has occurred. There's down time, hand waved or...

    D&D 5E When is a dark elf NOT a Dark Elf? (Mechanically and roleplaying purposes)

    No. At least not in games I run. She's not a pure elf. Therefore she's (mechanically) a half-elf and has the natural lifespan of such, no matter how she was raised. You want the elven perk of living forever? Then you gotta make an elf....

    Poll: WWYD if You had Your Fav Character’s Powers in the Real World?

    Well if it auto selected my favorite.... I'd wake up as a 5e 1/2ling Warlock (pact of the chain, fey patron) with a slew of utility powers/spells. Or possibly my PF1 Summoner version of the character who's virtually same (minus 1 spell) & a whole crap load of skill points - in odd things. My...

    System: PF1e The characters: All 5th lv. Jack - Human male, an ex-pirate, Rogue.3/Monk.2 Bree - 1/2ling FM, self-described awesome adventurer, Summoner.4/Druid.1 Heeb - Male Assimar, Heal Bot incarnate, Priest of Cayden Caylen, Cleric.5 {??? can't remember name as I type this} - FM Elf...
