    2E vs 3E: 8 Years Later. A new perspective?

    This description rather obscures what's really going on. A multi-classed character doesn't get the sum of all his levels as his attack matrix column, or to determine his saving throws, or anything like that. For anything that could potentially "stack," the multi-classed character only gets the...

    Dragons Through the Editions: An Analysis

    All or nothing, huh? Near-godlike or squished like bugs. Nothing in between. Nope.

    2E vs 3E: 8 Years Later. A new perspective?

    I've got two asides to make here. First, the problem of level limits not taking effect because of retired characters was much more prevalent with AD&D Second Edition; the limits in the first edition were much lower. Second, Gary Gygax and others have stated many times that level limits weren't...

    Dragons Through the Editions: An Analysis

    If a dragon is too powerful for lower-level parties to deal with, then think of how long it'll have to be before the players of Dungeons & Dragons have to wait before they get to actually deal with a dragon. Some iconic monster! One that never appears...

    2E vs 3E: 8 Years Later. A new perspective?

    I've only been half-paying attention to this topic, so forgive me if this has been mentioned or is behind the current tangent. In the classic style, isn't it up to the players to decide the strength of the opposition they face? "We're only 1st level characters; maybe we shouldn't go down that...

    Saddest Song Ever

    Kilkelly, Ireland I'm not sure. I heard it on the radio once years ago, and somehow managed to tape it. I don't know if I still have the tape, but you can certainly find some version of it on the Internet. If you do a Google search and include mp3, you'll find one that I think is the one I...

    Is D&D the only game that radically changes each edition?

    Doctor Who, Star Frontiers, Gamma World, Paranoia, (Land of) Og, Lord of the Rings... P.S.: Oops! That first one was already mentioned!

    Groundhog Day

    The scenario was such that we had to discover the way out of the loop — and we couldn't. Our characters woke up on a spaceship (this was a GURPS game) in the brig. The ship was controlled by powerful aliens and was being invaded by even more powerful robots. My character, a fantasy-style...

    Groundhog Day

    Having been subjected to a Groundhog Day style adventure myself, I can only express my passionate dislike for this shtick.

    What DON'T you like about 1E AD&D?

    One thing I don't like about AD&D is that people misunderstand the rules and make fun of them on message boards. Oh wait. That happens with every game.
