    Dragon Reflections #92

    My thought on seeing it is not a wyvern but just a fire breathing dragon. It has bat like wing arms similar to an AD&D wyvern instead of both forelimbs and wings like an AD&D dragon, but it breathes fire and has no scorpion poison tail with a stinger.

    Dragon Reflections #92

    I remember loving the AD&D version of thunderlance. My mage PC picked it up from a later 2e source though, Forgotten Realms Adventures maybe?

    Savage Species (3e) 3.0 Ghost Brute: Ghost brutes are the spectral remnants of animals, magical beasts, and sentient plants—creatures without the minimum Charisma needed to become normal ghosts.

    D&D General Arneson, Gygax, and Lawsuits, Oh My! An Actual History of the OG D&D Litigation

    I read the MM II litigation decisions when I was a law student in the 90s with free access to Westlaw and freedom to look up whatever hit my curiosity. I remember being appalled at the court finding that a volume II is just a revision of volume I and not a separate book with additional different...

    D&D General Advice for revolutionary campaign

    There was a pathfinder 1e rebels six part adventure path set in Cheliax the Asmodeus theocracy empire. Hells Rebels? Worth checking out for both plot ideas and a rebel downtime subsystem (bards shine). I think it is Spire for Forged in the Dark where the premise is oppressed dark elves in light...

    I own this, have read it cover to cover, thoroughly enjoyed it, and used it as well for some bits in my eclectic homebrew. Much better overview of the setting than I even got from my friends evocative 1e WFRPG book and playing in our multi year campaign. Amazing full color Warhammer art...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    My understanding is Bledsaw 1 wrote the original ran JG and I am not aware of anything problematic on his end or generally in his work. My perspective and understanding as a backer of the 2014 kickstarter. The CSIO 2014 kickstarter and JG was run by his grandson III. 80,000 was raised and...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    The original CSIO was only some 50 pages, the revised was 100+, the d20 version was 200 pages or so. I expect the new OAR to be a big chunky hardcover like the OAR 1 my friend was using for our group with more stuff than the originals. I have a pdf of the original and the revised from the 2014...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    I expect the product to be like the original Bledsaw Sr.'s CSIO and not include antisemitism or other such stuff in it. Some who like Bledsaw Jr.'s non gaming views may support it to support him in a small way (moral support or the 10% royalty going to subsidize his paying off original backers...

    That is my take from what’s been posted. My understanding is the GG project began before the 2020 Bledsoe blow up, not after.

    For those of you who have set up play-by-post games, how do you do it?

    Ppb is slower, so I suggest going for shorter adventures and systems that are simpler with fewer interrupt powers and contested rolls. Side based initiative seems like it would work better than individual initiative for example. Theatre of the mind is great as maps and positioning can be a pain...
