Was anime even known in the US before 1990? Was it a negative buzzword before 2000? For the record, I don't search through the books and magazines to find evidence to prove anything. (Not that anyone is accusing me of it.) I just have all my old books and magazines on a bookshelf in my bedroom...

15 years of AD&D1 gaming: I DMed most of the time, but I was not the only one ever. I played a character, too, sometimes. And even when I was the DM, the Players were not ignorant of the rules (at least not because they were "mere" Players). Quasqueton

Yeah, it might show that I have a <gasp> sense of humor! The "trolling" comment is just a snicker at the last line I quoted: "I am not putting down the AD&D game, although I realize it sounds that way." This line is almost always found in a good troll on an Internet message board. I'm going to...

I haven't seen a "I'm quitting D&D" thread in a little while, so when I came across this old one, I thought I'd post it. Dragon #189, January 1993, "Forum" letter: [Deleted comment - I was being humorous, but it didn't come across that way.] Quasqueton

Regarding that book, check out this discussion on it, specifically: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=63501 Quasqueton

We just had another game session where this situation came up. The 3 PCs and 1 NPC exited the dungeon. They needed some special material components for very necessary spells (life or death necessity), so 1 PC and the NPC left to go get the materials. The other 2 PCs stayed at the dungeon exit...

With D&D4, we'll get to add another plane era to the list. Yay! http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3263976 It was a sad thing that so many took the analogy as offensive. Quasqueton

I had the idea of using Combat Expertise to counter Power Attack come to mind. Quasqueton

Mea culpa, on that item. I should improve my reading comprehension skill. But, that just means the number possible for a goblin and kobold encounter go up for what he is talking about. The complaint is weakened even more. Quasqueton

From "Design & Development" 8/27/07 I know this is a month old, now, but it has bothered me ever since I first read it. It bothers me because apparently the designers don't understand the very rules they've written and are tinkering with. Actually, "according to the rules" (DMG page 49), a...

Was the thoul ever illustrated? If so, where? Quasqueton

Dragon magazine #76, August 1983 Sage Advice, page 64 :-) Quasqueton

Feel free to post links to those "My Players insist that I include or allow things from the many supplements," posts. Either search for past such posts, or come back to this thread when they pop up in the future. Quasqueton

See, I read a lot of posts saying that they hear or read others saying this. But I've never seen anyone saying that *they* have Players insisting on this kind of stuff. I've seen things like, "A lot of Players insist the DM include or allow things from the many supplements," but I'm not seeing...

I had a DM (for one game session) who used the blind rolling method of decision making: DM: Okay, roll d-percent. Me: <rolls> 53. DM: Okay. . . roll d6. Me: <rolls> 2. DM: . . . Okay. . . roll d20. Me: <rolls> 14. DM: . . . Okay. . . you succeed. I think he was just stalling for time to...

It amazes me, all this complaining about too many supplement books. People claim they "must" get, have, and use anything WotC puts out for D&D. Some call it "rules bloat." There is actually a thread on this forum talking about that some think it is good that a new edition of the game is coming...

Since I had already gathered this information, I might as well put it out for view. (Hate to do work and then just let it sit unused.) * * * Let's look at the encounters in Slave Pits of the Undercity The pregen tournament characters at the back are: Characters Levels Dwarf fighter 6 Human...

Interestingly, there are no basic +1 daggers in the AD&D DMG. There are: Dagger +1, +2 vs. creatures smaller than man-sized = 750gp Dagger +2, +3 vs. creatures larger than man-sized = 2,000gp Dagger of Venom = 3,000gp But I remember seeing +1 daggers all over the place in the old days. ...
