Pretty excited by this! Will definitely need more details on the mechanics before I buy, but will watch closely.

I guess that explains that artwork...

Skimmed it tonight and nothing is clicking for me at all. Was Mercer involved at all? I don't see his influence anywhere...

It varies quite a bit: Digital Map Case - Etsy I'm quite the nerd, so have most of the electronics and cables for it, would just need the case. But that's still quite the investment for a game I only play once a week now.

@deganawida I think it's cool you're giving AD&D a shot, good luck! I find the original AD&D books to be the heart and soul of D&D and reread them at least once a year. I hope once you do the same you'll come back here and let us know what you think! That said, because Gygax approached his...

@MNblockhead Thanks for the amazing response. That sounds pretty close to what I want to start doing actually. Over the years I've amassed hundreds of miniatures though, so thinking of using a digital map case to get the best of both worlds:

Awesome! I certainly will. I'm only half way done, but picked it up again, so will update as I go. One of the first things I picked up on that he teaches (that took me a long time to realize) was the best games are ran somewhere between the "completely neutral arbiter" and "obnoxious...

Agree! I wanted to talk about it here soooo bad after reading it, but I knew it was just going to be pages and pages of discussion of him as a person and not his actual insights. I've already started enough of those threads...

My last order was a large pizza and two orders of breadsticks. $63!!! :eek:

Speaking of pizza, what's everyone's delivery fee's like? It's up to $7 here in California.

After just watching John Oliver's segment on Boeing, I'd be inclined to agree to at least a trail...

Understand where you're coming from. In my games, the mega-dungeon would not be the adventure. It's just a very enticing place to explore when the player's feel like it. That said, it better be worth it! Extra deadly, but rewards great enough everyone around town whispers about them. I said...

I've been gaming for over 30 years now and still struggle with how to run dungeon crawls, especially mega-dungeons, in the most fun way possible. Specifically, navigating the labyrinth, resource management, and encounter balance (since consequences of death in RPGs is so high). Video Games...

Really cool! In my last campaign I just used double Prof bonus and that helped. Can't remember what I did with Expertise...? Advantage maybe? Also used 2d10 for Skill checks, d20 for everything else (combat being more random makes sense to me!). Since then, I realized RAW is fine as long as...

Very true, and completely what they were going for. Also works really well for light-hearted, whimsical sort of games. It's one of the reasons I stopped playing 5E though because I can't stand it. I can't help but be a math nerd and want a strong system that actually rewards proficiency.

Honestly think you have that backwards. It's easy to get lost in relative percentages; that's why dishonest people use them to mislead. What matters is absolute value and what it accomplishes. With that in mind, I think 5E is mostly smoke and mirrors. For instance, take Initiative. Relatively...

Funny, because it's being added to a d20 I feel like the opposite is true. Being Proficient at Lv1 means you get to succeed 10% more of the time then someone just "winging it". Yay...

Have you tried jalapeño popcorn? So good!

That sounds too fun. Will try this weekend, thanks!
