My descriptive text is probably too terse on this. (It’s basically just my personal notes, so I can keep track of how this works.) But the dual pricing (“with tutor” option) only applies to characters who have not completed training for name level, so I think we’re the same on this. While the...

This is adapted from Gygax’s DMG, p 86.

I run games at home and PbP.

Make cleric and druid part of a highly limited selection of playable classes. Slings will be optimal ranged weapon attacks for those who choose Dex over Str, especially the ones that use shields and don't choose a subclass that offers an expanded weapons list.

Bible turns as Nosnra rushes past. "Avask there, chief!" she calls out. "S'jusk you an' me now. Le's dance!" She crosses one foot over the other, crouching low as she lowers the tip of Waithe at the center of the chief's body mass and launches herself through the air like a spinning torpedo...

Muhsin Hendricks, a pioneering figure in Islam who was considered the world’s first openly gay imam, was shot dead Saturday in South Africa.

A trio of films from director Alex Cox based on stories from real life, two from the mid/late 80’s and one from 2017: Sid and Nancy Walker Tombstone Rashomon

Wisdom (Survival) covers fishing: The DM might ask you to make a Wisdom (Survival) check to ... hunt wild game ...

A bit off topic, but this reminded me I've always wanted to watch Star Wars and Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, in that order, as a double feature.

No trilogies. The model for this should be the Martin Scorsese/Paul Schrader triptych: Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and The Last Temptation of Christ. While I was driving a few days ago, I started thinking about the connection (in my mind) between Star Wars and car culture, which I think comes...

The Dark Elves came from the common home shared by all Elves, a bay on the eastern coast of the Levantine Sea, possibly the Bay of Acre/Haifa Bay, where they first "awoke" roughly 80,000 years ago. After about 5,000 years, they were "discovered" by the huntsman of the Archfey who invited the...

Sam Nujoma, freedom fighter and Namibia's first president, who led his country to independence from apartheid South Africa in 1990, has died at the age of 95.

Following up on my earlier post, I've included the tables I use in the spoiler block below. They're basically the tables from the 1E DMG, but I've converted the modifiers for use with 5E. I've also included the tables I use for calculating the loyalty bonus which serves as the morale bonus for...

@pemerton , I'm a little surprised at how detailed and explicit the 4e text is. It even addresses the "supernatural power" question many seem to have and makes things that much clearer!

I do have such a system which I adapted from AD&D 1E. When certain triggering conditions occur, I set a DC based on the situation and various factors. NPCs and monsters have a morale bonus which is either the same as their loyalty bonus, if they are associated with the party, or based on their...

I've been meaning to try Torchbearer 2e or any of the other indie games, but so far I haven't had the chance. It's hard enough for me to get to play 5E on anything but a sporadic basis! I haven't played or read 4e, but maybe you could confirm my suspicion that its description of Insight isn't...

Call them daemons. Problem (mostly) solved. 😊
