    D&D 2E Huh. AD&D 2e is my favorite D&D

    I don't have Revised, but Hovering on Death's Door was definitely in O2E.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    I would have liked more "filler" episodes. Filler is where we get to know the characters and learn to care about them, so what happens in the WHAM! episodes feels like it matters. That's why seasons should be 20+ episodes long.

    D&D General Honey, I shrunk the party!

    One of the adventures in the Strength of Thousands adventure path for Pathfinder 2 (either part 5 or 6) has the PCs miniaturized, but it's basically an excuse to place them in a sandbox setting that's actually a table with weird stuff on it.

    D&D 5E Why Do Higher Levels Get Less Play?

    The problem isn't wrestling a kaiju. The problem is that the way D&D is set up makes it more like "Wrestling a kaiju? Eh, that's just Tuesday."

    D&D 4E Rambling thoughts about D&D 4th Edition

    Heh. I clicked on this thread and noted that it was a necro. Reading the first post, with the stuff about how implements should get a proficiency bonus just like weapons and thinking "Well, they don't because powers using implements usually target a non-AC defense which is usually lower." Then I...

    D&D 5E Why Do Higher Levels Get Less Play?

    I wonder to what degree 3e epic stuff was kneecapped by the Epic-Level Handbook being for 3.0 and thus being mostly memory-holed by 3.5e (even if I reckon the compatibility problems were probably fairly minor). Oh, and by the explosion of classes in 3.5e which did not have any epic-level support.

    D&D 5E Why Do Higher Levels Get Less Play?

    I believe Primal Order was Peter Adkison's baby, but you're not wrong otherwise. When Wizards first struck big with Magic, they went on a buying spree acquiring moderately successful RPGs (e.g. Talislanta and Ars Magica) as well as making some of their own (Everway), but pretty soon their...

    90% of D&D Games Stop By Level 10; Wizards More Popular At Higher Levels

    DDB folks have mentioned that they have methods that control for that – basically checking if the characters are actually used online or not. Things like seeing if checkboxes get marked for being used, hit points going up and down, and so on. It likely won't catch characters that are generated...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Many things we call luck would more properly be called a combination of opportunity (which is at least partially luck, but can be mitigated by working on being in the right circumstances) and preparedness/talent/skill. There are doors to success opening all the time, but you need to be both near...

    D&D 5E Why Do Higher Levels Get Less Play?

    I'd be interested in seeing how the sales are doing for their three different AP styles: 1-20, 1-10, and 11-20. It seems they are making more 1-10s so I'm guessing those sell better, but it'd be neat to have more than a guess. And PF2 is a game that actually works at higher levels. It mainly...

    D&D (2024) Do We Really Need Levels 11-20?

    I think I've seen one of the designers mention that levels 1 and 2 are intended as "tutorial levels", which is why you gain your core stuff at levels 1, 2, and 3. This is also why those levels zoom by when you're using XP rather than milestones. I don't know if they changed the XP charts and/or...

    D&D (2024) Githzerai Psion? Thri-kreen Psion? Where's My Psion?

    I think the link between Intelligence and psionics is more related to science-fiction than comics (and, I guess, Pokémon), but I think it's more of a correlation than a causation. It's a reasonably common trope to have "hyper-evolved" humans that have developed their brains and are now both...
