    Runes And Strange Elves: Looking At Runequest Classic

    Loved Runequest back in the day. In fact, that's what I first GMed, rather than D&D.

    D&D 5E Why does no one play Goliath?

    Probably because they're not in the core three books. Still, I'm sure there are people playing them somewhere.

    I hate problem players

    Kick him out. No game is better than a bad game.

    The Most Straightforward Modern OSR Game Available?

    Yep, the roll under stat (for various things) has been around since at least the early eighties... and probably since the seventies.

    The Most Straightforward Modern OSR Game Available?

    Interesting, but for me the armor system is the worst I've ever seen. YMMV, etc.

    D&D 5E Faction Magic Items

    By all means, give them something a bit special. BUT, do the same for all other, including bad guy organizations. (Something to cloak the alignment of Zents, perhaps?)

    Nope, that was Mad.

    Accessorising Your Fantasy Warrior: Shields, Gauntlets, & Helms

    Very nice. But no salade helm? I'm heartbroken! ;)

    Elise Gygax as a Sultry Dungeons & Dragons Model

    I'm pretty sure its one of Gary's daughters. She also advertised Gamma World.

    Brigandine, Lamellar, and Aventails... Oh My!

    The brigandine wasn't. If made properly the plates would have been sandwiched between two layers of something (leather, burlap, or the like), with only the rivet heads showing. (Which is most likely where 'studded leather' came from.) But, yes, very nicely done. Congrats to all involved.

    D&D 5E Best Languages For Arcane Research?

    Dwarven if he's going to run into any runes.

    D&D 5E Non Variant Super Humans

    I, on the other hand, think its fine. But then, I prefer that characters not have any minus stats, and are better than the defaults generally. So is it broken if all the PCs are a little better than they are in most other games? I don't really think so.

    Do You Know Your Glaive-Guisarme From Your Bohemian Earspoon?

    Well, not nearly as steamed as I would have been if you'd showed the usual huge double sided thing (which would be physically impossible to wield) that mostly shows up as a warhammer these days, but still a bit steamed. Perhaps I should say disappointed instead.

    Do You Know Your Glaive-Guisarme From Your Bohemian Earspoon?

    Yeah, I was steamed that they included the 'warhammer' that isn't anything like one. Wish they'd left it out and just called the military pick that. Also, the picture of the bill is much too fancy for the name. A regular bill (or bill hook) is much plainer than that.

    D&D 5E Altitude and range

    For spells something needs to be done, like using one of the methods already mentioned. But for missile weapons shooting downwards you obviously get extra range. (Who's going to believe that a rock you throw off a cliff is just going to stop mid-air and hang there?)

    RIP Alan Rickman

    Absolutely loved him in Galaxy Quest. He will, indeed, be missed.

    Who was Katie Saylor?

    Thanks for the info. Nice to know she survived the Big C. (Ed Laprade here, using my original ID. Long story.)

    Last Night's Supergirl: 12/14/15

    A few things about last night's episode of Supergirl. 1) Not a very climactic climax. 2) I'm surprised the didn't have Astra got the "I'm your mother!" route, as they've made it as obvious as possible, without actually saying it, that she is Kara's real mom. 3) I just loved how Cat didn't think...
