I voted "other" for the PiL album Second Edition, aka Metal Box.

And quite a bit of the body as well, apparently.

In roughly chronological order: 1. Dungeons & Dragons boxed set (1974) 2. Chainmail (3rd Ed. published by TSR, 1975) 3. Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set (Holmes) boxed set with geomorphs and monster and treasure lists (1977) 4. Monster Manual (1977) 5. Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set (Holmes) boxed...

Oh yeah, it was great to get what looked like a sequel to the 1939 movie and have it be so creepy. The original material was pretty creepy too, what with Princess Langwidere and the Wheelers. Oz can be kind of dark, a bit like Wonderland in a way.

I enjoyed Tin Man, ymmv.

I haven't seen the musical, but the book was great. Of course, I was talking more about a direct adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.

Watched the fourth episode last night. I was taken aback at how extensively it mined LotR for plot elements that were cut from the Peter Jackson movies (Bombadil and the Barrow Wights) and how they were dropped in whole-cloth (taking many lines of dialogue directly from the book) with very...

(15d2) - 12 comes very close to a normal distribution. 10.5 average / standard deviation 1.94. Or you could roll three "averaging dice", d6's where 1's are counted as 3's and 6's are counted as 4's. The range is 6-15 with an average of 10.5 / standard deviation 1.66.

There's a requirement? I hadn't heard about that.

Assumption of compatibility with the Peter Jackson movies?

Here's what I figured out: The Human's ASI includes an increase to two most important scores = 40 pts, two moderately important scores = 24 pts, and two least important scores = 8 pts. Total = 72 pts. The Variant Human's ASI is an increase to two most important scores = 40 pts. A feat = 24...

To expand on my earlier response, Trent TREEZnor.

I mostly agree, but I think there's a work around that slipped my mind during this session. The 5E text of mage hand specifies the hand can't carry more than 10 lbs which I think could be interpreted to mean the hand can't exert more than 10 lbs of force. A quick Google of force required to open...

I had been thinking of the two options, insects vs reptiles, as a matter of color overlaying an identical set of mechanics, but I found the suggestion of an intensification of difficulty from insects to reptiles to be compelling enough to bump up the save DC when using reptiles (snakes) from 10...

Juan López, a prominent anti-mining activist, was gunned down in Honduras Saturday as he left a church in his northeastern town of Tocoa.

I decided to go with one large jar, sort of an amphora, containing the gold pieces along with a small venomous snake and to telegraph the presence of the snake by including the lid being punctured with tiny holes in describing the jar once the PCs were close enough to see them. I would call for...

I'm assuming the difficulties you've mentioned of avoiding poisonous insects or striking snakes are predefined in Torchbearer with the idea being it's harder to avoid snakes than it is insects. I think that's interesting with reference to the entry I'm working with in DMG, Appendix A, "Poisonous...

It's for a 5.0E game, but I wanted responses to the thread to be open to all editions. The situation itself is coming from the 1E DMG, Appendix A: Random Dungeon Generation, so I figured there might be a variety of approaches, possibly depending on edition, Haha, those are practically made for...

Ah, that's good. It brings it back to before the trap is triggered which is something I was missing to make it not a gotcha. I think I'll skip the spring loading, but thanks for the visual!

Yep, they're normal size insects/reptiles, so not much of a threat outside of the situation of blindly opening a jar with them inside. That's why I'm thinking about how to handle things if a player does just that.
