    AD&D 1E AD&D (yes, 2e too) players and referees, what do you think of rolling under for ability and NWP checks?

    I don’t like roll low, though some % based games make up for it by otherwise being excellent. I don’t like yet another disparate sub-system for AD&D, which was my biggest problem with AD&D

    How Do You Decide What RPGs to Buy?

    Over the years I have built up quite a bit of resistance to buying new rpgs, for the reasons mentioned above. But then once in a while resistance will breakdown and I make an impulse purchase. Results are pretty random, but it does not happen very often.

    D&D General How Dungeons & Dragons Started, WotC video.

    Holy Zagyg! Could not sound more awesome. Goodmanesque, and awesome.

    D&D General The core monster lineup across all editions

    There were no animals (as monsters) in 0D&D? I pretty sure there would have been some in expert. Lots in the first MM.

    D&D General Joe Manganiello: Compares Early 5E to BG 3 . How Important is Lore?

    For the those 3 products implied in the OP it’s not about lore, it’s about lackluster execution. CoS is one of the most successful D&D products of all time. It has plenty of updated lore, it’s just better.

    D&D General The most played D&D Adventure of all time

    What does that even mean in the context of my post?

    D&D General The most played D&D Adventure of all time

    Pretty sure there were more AD&D players then 3e ones, and, at least for those modules, much higher sales

    D&D General The most played D&D Adventure of all time

    I think we know the top two. Ravenloft, if CoS is treated as a version of I6, has to pretty much be number 3. I don't think Sunless is 4. 3e was pretty popular, but not B/X or AD&D popular. And it had some serious competition, lots of good adventures for 3e thanks to the OGL. So for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Deck of Many Things was worth the wait

    Lots of complaining on Amazon on the quality of the cards, box, etc. Edit: and of course there is another thread on this very issue.

    The boy and the heron

    It felt like a combination of his WWII movies and his more standard fantasy ones. Theme, plot, and world building all felt underdeveloped compared to many of his other movies. But certainly better than a lot of other stuff put out lately.

    MCDM Patreon Playtest Packet 1 is out.

    This is looking more interesting then expected.

    24 years!

    I have been hear for about 20 of those years. I still think of the site in terms of what it was then, and what it was after. Then wonder things like “maybe buttercup is still here, and I am just on her ignore list”

    D&D General Why Is D&D Successful?

    It’s fun to play.

    D&D General 50th Anniversary WotC live panel at PAX Unplugged 2023.

    And the Deck is also coming in 2023, and I like all of them! I have wanted a full slate of D&D books like this since, well, 2014.

    D&D 5E (2024) The 2024 Core D&D Rulebooks Are Coming In May

    ….speaking of which, really looking forward to a corrected MM with many of the numbers moving up.

    D&D 5E (2024) The 2024 Core D&D Rulebooks Are Coming In May

    They have removed the slides and tweets announcing the dates. Maybe PHB and Vecna. Agree that the DMG and MM seem much less likely in May. (If Vecna comes out early, would be interesting if they post a PDF or something through D&D beyond with updated monster stats)…

    D&D 3.x Ben Riggs shares Sunless Citadel sales numbers

    The whole (sub) edition lasted just 4 years, and had just over 50 products. (Are there 50 5e products?) Skimming them they really are a mixed bag. You can see them here thanks to echohawk: https://www.enworld.org/threads/concise-list-of-3-0-books.254326/
