    Ship-based adventures

    Surprised that the original pirate 3.0 adventures haven't been mentioned... Green Ronin Freeport The original trilogy is quite good The Freeport city of adventure - campaign source book detailing the Freeport city is good Unfortunately Black Sails over Freeport is not so good. If you use this...

    D&D General What Are Traps For?

    1) Grimtooth is one of those RPG books that is much more enjoyable to read than actually use. 2) IMO White Plume Mountain is an excellent example of traps done well. Some obstacle traps, some puzzle traps, and most are different/fun/unique environments to fight a monster.

    How to use the OGL

    That's pretty good. I would emphasis that people should make sure that they do not include anything that has been designated as PI in their product. So... no Mind Flayer.... but could describe them in your own words... "tentacled faced aliens that eat brains"

    How to use the OGL

    This means you have to clearly indicate what is Open Game Content, even if it is OGC that you did not create and are using.

    WotC Unveils Draft of New Open Gaming License

    I haven't read all 32 pages... Obviously it is better and maybe usable IF you are only making content for 5e or OneD&D. But they still don't get it that 1.0a can be used and has been used for non WOTC SRD based content. I find this very narrow, short sighed and not an Open Gaming License. It...

    WotC Talks OGL... Again! Draft Coming Jan 20th With Feedback Survey; v1 De-Auth Still On

    I am a long time user of the OGL from the 3.0 days. I actively lurked and participated in discussions on the open gaming foundation forums https://www.mail-archive.com/ogf-l@mail.opengamingfoundation.org/ IMO WOTC should not change the OGL at all. If they do they need to still honor (as in...

    D&D 3.x Working with the Half-Fiend Template

    The abilities work off of Hit Dice. When you gain levels in Fighter or Wizard or whatever you gain Hit Dice. So, Yes a Fighter 10th level Half-Fiend will be able to cast Contagion (as well as other abilities) as a spell like ability. Whichever way ends up being closer to the original I suppose.

    D&D 5E (2014) My Simple Spell Rarity House Rule

    And... I go the opposite way. Every 'named' spell gets renamed to my characters name... Nabrun's Acid Arrow Nabrun's Magnificent Mansion Nabrun's Sword Nabrun's Forceful Hand

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Version of Freeport/Other Pirate City...?

    Pirate's Guide to Freeport or Freeport City of Adventure if you want a 'setting' book. Black Sails Over Freeport - The beginning and end is decent. The middle of it is a mess and should be completely re-worked. Original Freeport Trilogy - These are solid adventures. But starts at level 1 and...

    D&D General Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth - welcome your thoughts and suggestions

    I am currently running the 3.5 version. Not sure how 5e plays out, but in 3.5 it is easy to have a 5 minute adventuring day as most of the monsters are do not co-operate and their is not unified resistance. You should also consider what happens when/if the part gets the Demonomicon... Some...

    D&D General For those that find Alignment useful, what does "Lawful" mean to you

    I agree LG But... I picture him more of a the noble barbarian. In more than one episode he has a combat rage ability. Does 5e still restrict Barbarian's to chaotic alignment?

    D&D General For those that find Alignment useful, what does "Lawful" mean to you

    Just to throw some fuel on the fire... Is Worf from Star Trek NG Lawful or Chaotic and why? He has a code of honor yet his rage takes control of him at times...

    D&D General How has D&D changed over the decades?

    I didn't read the whole thread, so I apologize if it has already been mentioned... internet, social media, and online availability of rules and alternate rules. 1e - We had Dragon Magazine and Tournaments. This resulted in very little cross-pollination of ideas and when it happened it was a...

    D&D 3.x What was the original intended function of the 3rd edition phb classes?

    Very true. This is why it is difficult to get a picture of how people played 1e or 2e. Everyone played it different... ignoring certain rules and adding home rules in other instances. By the time skills & powers came out I had given up playing D&D as it was too difficult to find a DM that ran...

    AD&D 1E Inquiry: How do fans of AD&D (aka 1E) feel about the Unearthed Arcana supplement?

    At the time I used it most of it. Since I subscribed to Dragon there really wasn't a whole lot of completely new stuff, repackaged and updated, but not completely new. But... I must not have used it very much. Because my binding is still intact.
