    Will D&D ever be able to regain a base of "casual" players?

    Much the same way. Started playing with 2 of my friends in the early 80's. I would call it a casual start cause between us we had a PHB/DMG/MM. I ended up buying the old Red Box set the next month with the ECMI following each month when I got my allowance. I played 'Advanced' with those 2...

    It's Dark Sun

    I like it a lot. In a way that explanation can also be used in explaining how Athas is removed from the normal Planar Cosmos. Magic the very fiber of the universe was unraveled with the loss of the Feywild. Like when you break a cookie it isn't perfect little breaks. That is why there might...

    It's Dark Sun

    Glad to see Darksun make a comeback. Fluff wise it might be worth a pickup.

    WotC forums down for a week or two?

    What type of cake cause I hate carrot cake, and what if I'm not home when the books are delivered and its raining........ . :cool: Really though, as was said Migrations and Upgrades are typically measured in hours in the IT world. But we do have to keep in mind the general spagetti nature...

    Cable or Satellite tv?

    Basically it turns into a preference choice. Personally I have Comcast. I'm on the Internet all the time when I'm actually inside the house. For the Football package I just go over to my dad's house 5 minutes away. Cable is unavailable there. So he has DirectTV. My neighbor has DirectTV...

    The thing I miss most from AD&D is...

    Remember the stronghold rules fondly. The first time they really came into play we were playing TOEE, the DM altered the structuring of the Temple so that there was no collapse at the end if she died, same with the nodes. It became the new base of operations for 3 players with several characters...

    D&D Fan Site Toolkit

    Very true they do seem to have them regularly now a days. Honestly for as much grief as many of us put him through with him unable to just freely speak his mind he should. ---------------- So how long till these threads are merged?

    D&D Fan Site Toolkit

    True, but also recognizing the fact at least they are moving in the right direction. While not as far as we would like. I'm willing to watch them take the baby steps needed. The thing is negative feedback alone won't change things. If they see you like a direction, but feel it's not enough...

    D&D Fan Site Toolkit

    So basically to get it directly from Wizards you have to agree to the 'Fan Site Policy', or you just ignore it and download it from somewhere else. Sorry but forcing 'Fan Sites' into an agreement where they can't have folks download things they create for free won't fly in the majority of the...

    The Temple of Elemental Evil

    Non-Weapon Weapons?

    DM'd a game where an immovable rod was used by a character against dive bombing dragon. It wasn't pretty for the dragon. But did lead to a new magic weapon being developed. Immovable Long Spears.

    AD&D1 training rules

    Here's what we used. Base - Flat rate of 1500gp X current level = Training Cost Took (current level) weeks. From that base we were allowed to double the time and half the costs for 'self-training', or shorten the time by spending more gold. i.e. 3000 x current level would be 1/2 current level...

    Kindle - Amazon Remote Deletion of E-Books

    By that logic, WoTC could simply decide to revoke the licensing of all your hard copy OE/1E/2E/3E books and demand them back. It doesn't really fly right does it.

    Kindle - Amazon Remote Deletion of E-Books

    Interesting article of Amazon remote deleting purchased E-Books. Without going into pirates good/bad debate, lets discuss is it right that Amazon could do this? What's to stop WOTC from taking the same stance if they are to sell E-Books again? How Amazon's remote deletion of e-books from...

    Okay, 'fess up

    Guilty of it in Past Editions. Haven't done it yet in 4E, mainly cause not a subscriber and don't have the books. But I will admit I would do so just to see it. It would be tempting to port the one Wizard I converted from 2E to 3.5E mechanics to do both a 2E to 4E and a 3.5E to 4E conversion...

    What are the no-goes for you?

    Player versus Player very bad Character versus Character can be very fun indeed. One of the fondest in character friendships developed from two characters constantly fighting each other than when the fecal matter hit the fan it was an instant bond and teammenship. Far as things I don't want at...

    D&D 4E The still "complete" list of official 4E products, now with 2011!

    Kinda glad I haven't jumped to 4E yet looking at those lists. I've started to debate buying the Core 3 (PHB 1 / DMG 1 / MM 1) but seeing this list kinda makes it daunting to want to jump into it. Not opposed to 4E, just seems like as was said can they resist doing more? I would probably have...

    Does PC equipment tend to go into Hammerspace when not in use?

    I use 'Hammerspace' very simply. Coins have a special coin purse that can contain all of their thousands of gold pieces almost completely weightless. But I also use Trade Bars in 100/1000/5000/10000 amounts to help with major purchases and storage. Really the only time it is an issue is when...

    Oots 660

    Could make for a whole new adventure for Team Evil to recover it in Door #3. Azure City - City of Paladins, whose to say there isn't a Good Metallic Dragon in there slumbering away. Would certainly put a twist on things to show teamwork of Team Evil in an adventure of their own.

    Surviving low-level old school D&D

    Quite possible, they probably lived with the adage of "Run Away To Fight Another Day". No but honestly it is quite possible to have a low mortality rate, just like you had a high one. My first experiences were of the higher mortality rate, our 4 person group went with the theory of starting...
