Hiya! Not sure if anyone mentioned this...but what about Mystara? It's got all manner of interesting fantasy countries/races/regions/etc. Just the Gazateers alone give us about, what, a thousand pages? And this doesn't even go into the extra boxed sets like Dawn of Alphatia, Hollow World and...

Hiya! First.., @GreyLord ... O_O Last time I checked there was only PDF of this, no PoD. Certainly no "Colour Hardback" option! :D Still, I recommend checking Dark Dungeons anyway. It really is a nice little "retro-clone", and I actually prefer it's handling of how to determine ToHit v AC...

Hiya! In a nutshell...any/all of my AD&D/D&D (re: 1e through 5e) games use the Great Wheel as a base. I find absolutely nothing wrong or contradictory with having any other campaign world, with it's own creation, it's own elemental planes, it's own, well anything and everything. This is why...

Hiya! Talk to yourself...out loud. Seriously. It's one thing to come up with a cool description on-the-fly in your head or typing it out...but it's quite different when you are trying to SAY it out loud as you think it up. Practice changing the tone and pacing of your words to elicit some...

Yup. BECMI/RC is in my top 3 RPG's of all time. Still play it to this day, off and on, and use a fair number of the rules and systems in it for other game systems/versions (skills, war machine, elemental stuff, race "cultural focus"...Tree of Life, Blackflame and Forge, and sometimes the weapon...

Hiya! Not a person, but I swear I had a dog that was a psion once. He'd just walk up to me, whimper, and stare at me. I'd ask him "What?", he'd stare. "What do you want?"...more staring. "I don't know what you want..."... he'd stare, do a little front-paw dance with a slight bark, "Snack? You...

Hiya! Dungeon World is a bit far removed from "D&D style of play". Similar in some way, VASTLY different in how the game is 'mean to be played'. Still, if you are looking for "D&D, but with different play style goals", then absolutely DW! :) It's got classes, levels, hit points, etc...but the...

Hiya! Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. Great fun, cool art, fun to read, interesting mechanics based on the standard "d20 D&D'esque" game. Oh, and it has the Character Funnel. :) If you ever want to show a jaded Player just how amazingly powerful and strong his 2nd level Rogue is...play this...

1e: Custom made Wooden Armour...then Crystalbrittle....then Glassteel. ;) (no, I never did this or saw it in my game...but it was a "possibility" once your druid and the MU in the group made it to Ridiculous Level (18+, iirc... Crystalbrittle). As for the rest of the "Errata Commentary"...

Hiya! I don't think this sort of thing is possible in a large company. (EDIT: By that I mean Hasbro) I also think it would be a horrible mistake, at least in regards to D&D's potential for a 7e. WotC changed the way the game played in a HUGE way with 4e. Look where that got them; knocked down...

Hiya! Art. As I always say... it's nutty. I chose "Very Important". But that's in regards to MY preference for art, obviously. So "Very Important", then I see a book and flip through it, and say "Man, this is cool looking. It's got a nice feel to it..." ...and then the guy next to me says...

Hiya! shrug Art. It's nutty like that. :) Yes, I think that creating a character is "art"...mostly. It has technical "tools" (re: the game system and dice/cards/whatever) that you use, but the end result is a purely creative product: A Player Character. Because of this, I don't think I've...

LOL! True, true! Colds though...man! Those suckers can hang on to you like a bad habit! I've always said... "Give me the flu for 4 days over a cold for 14!". I hate colds with a passion! .. Maybe it's all placebo...but hey, if it makes me feel better and feel like I'm "doing something to get...

Hiya! You need to look into it more. While it is currently in the general "not recommended", but it is firmly in the "sometimes it is recommended" side of the medical community, it's not like taking it (via a legitimate doctors prescription, obviously!) is going to make you any worse off when...

Hiya! In a nutshell... Yes to some of those...but IN ALL CASES, the Players are NEVER PRIVVY TO THE ROLL OR RESULTS! I just use those results for myself to deal with the roleplaying aspect of the NPC's. For example, I might give an NPC a roll to "disguise themselves as a beggar" even though...

Hiya! Good that they apologized and added for future. When someone doesn't get credited it makes it hard to say "Yeah, I worked on that", because then you're always think they're thinking "No you didn't... I don't see your name anywhere on it...hmmmm.....". I also appreciate it that books are...

Hiya! In a nutshell... if I was looking to roll some dice... Divide them into "identifiable groups": "Irate Farmers", "Concerned Mothers", "Uppity 20-somethings", "Devoted Old Timers". Then assign each of these groups a Morale score. Personally I turn to Basic D&D for this; it's quick, easy...

Hiya! Why do the PC's have to fight? Or fight to kill? Lots of magic and ability to "subdue" things in the game. Unless the OP's group of PC's are just a bunch of bloodthirsty psychopaths. At 7th level they should have magic and items letting them "escape" or something. Sleep, Wall of..., Cause...

Hiya! All of my friends except for 1 are over 6', ranging from 6'1" to about 6'5" (I'm towering at 5'5" myself :) ). Each one of them is pretty strong based simply on their sheer muscle mass. However, I wouldn't consider them "healthy", per se. So it makes sense to break up STR and CON in my...

Hiya! Pretty sure her current mortality status is contingent upon a DM's campaign. But officially...? Not sure. Probably defaults to "yeah, she's alive and a Goddess". In one of my (my longest standing, actually) Greyhawk campaigns, Lloth died in/around 572'ish CY by a particularly effective...
