    AD&D 2E Let's Read the AD&D 2nd Edition PHB+DMG!

    Our group always used it... Just not in order. Roll six times 3d6 and then put in the stats you wanted. On old times, we saw a player paladin just once because the pre-requisites. One of my Birthright chars had Str 6, Dex 7, Con 5. A abjurer mage whose mother had her womb trumpled by a horse...

    Sneak Peak of Planescape: A Preview

    It is ok to have new factions to present to new players. But what I would really love is if at least a sidebar gave me the option to play with the 15 "classic" factions from 2e. Call me a nostalgic man, I do not deny it. But I really like the way that fifteen were.

    (+)Do Any TTRPGs Do Dueling Really Well?

    This... Song of Swords is based in the Riddle of Steel. I was attempting to remember the name of this game. :)

    (+)Do Any TTRPGs Do Dueling Really Well?

    There is some games based on a same old engine and I will not remember the name of them all, but one is Song of Swords. It is a system with a Combat Pool. Essentially, you have X d10 each turn of combat and split them between offensive and defensive maneuvers. You also must stat, at the start of...

    D&D General Alternatives to spell slots and spell points

    4e has an alternative to make every power (maneuvers for martial types, spells for spellcasters) have a cooldown. Some are at-will (like 5e cantrips). Some can be used once per encounter (recharged in a short rest), while the most powerful can be used only once per day (recharged in a long...

    D&D 5E (2024) The WotC Playtest Surveys Have A Flaw

    I know metric tons and imperial tons, but goblin tons is a new unit of measure for me :p

    D&D 5E (2024) The WotC Playtest Surveys Have A Flaw

    I know at least three people that will buy the new one no matter if they think they are good or bad or if should have more/less changes. They will buy that only for "collector's urge" (in a lack of better term). See, the new books have attached to them the fact they will be the 50th anniversary...

    Spelljammer WTF Spelljamming? (5e) Orbital Mechanics

    This remembers me the arguing about giants being unreal because their bones never would support their weight, to do not mention all the hydrodynamic troubles to pump blood in such scale.

    D&D General Character named after someone more famous.

    I attempted to convince the rest of the party to change the party's name to Oingo Boingo. To no avail. They are so stuborn that is like a nightmare before Christmas.

    D&D General Character named after someone more famous.

    A diviner cleric named Bruno (no, we don't talk about this char). A paladin of Tyr that is Sir Tick, brave, bold, incredibly prone to nonsense talks. Of course, his squire is named Arthur. A elf bard named Danny. He is Danny Elfman. Hold Person must be cast singing "Stay, don't you go"

    D&D General What is player agency to you?

    Perhaps an unpopular opinion here (and not in that other thread), but for me, player agency is "what my character would do in these circumstances, given these constraints". And yes, this includes they being mind controlled. While most people say mind control removes the agency from players, I...

    Unpopular opinions go here

    Multiclass should be banned from every D&D-like game. Restrictions are very fine. All clerics of Elistralee must be female. All bladesinger must be elf, and so on. If you want to play with one of these, abide to the restrictions.

    Planescape Planescape Pre-order Page Shows Off The Books!

    Also, I am disapointed that are 12 factions, not 15. :(

    Planescape Planescape Pre-order Page Shows Off The Books!

    No. In 2e, it is clearly not a torus. It has even a description of what happens when you stand in a higher point of view and look to the "nothing" (the space out the ring).
