1st and 2nd edition we never bothered. I think that was because combats were less tactical in their execution. The D20 system changed all that and battle map with minis became a necessity. We've stuck with them ever since.

I'd say mid level is something like 6-12 but that does cover a wide possible range of power levels.

Primarily at our FLGS these days with a few home games now and again.

That must be what I was thinking of then. Thanks.

Does the MM not have a conversion guide? I thought I read that it did or did I dream it?

I had watched that video last night and here's my thoughts on the topic. I think that the move towards an MMO feel and style of play came in with 3rd edition. 3rd brought a lot of new blood into the hobby which was great but the feat and optimisation mechanics seemed (to me) to bring in a lot of...

Preference and Other... meaning nostalgia. I would have voted Familiarity too but I could only vote for two. :cry: Nostalgia is my main one. When I first read about D&D at the age of 9 (about 1982) I was fascinated and hooked on the idea. In my mid teens I actually got to play and DM, and that...

We alternate at the moment. One Sunday night (this Sunday) I am running D&D 2024 and the alternate Sunday is currently Call of Cthulhu (I'm playing).

With regards to published/prewritten scenarios or campaigns, I am extremely unlikely to change anything. Not everything will always be in the characters favour. That's what makes adventures interesting. Homebrew stuff, I am more likely to include something from time to time that allows them to...

1920's Call of Cthulhu Abandoned Summer Camp. Lake Monster.

My player had already worked something like this in. He chose as his trinket an amulet which while worn hides the tail through a very minor illusion. Any dispel magic or similar instantly shuts it off for several minutes. He has it for the character background as a Kitsune princess whose family...

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I was so deep in pondering how to write them that I had completely forgotten the multi-tails aspect. That is great and I know my player would appreciate it. So this is what I came up with last night. It is based on what PF did but with a couple tweaks and adding...

I hadn't thought of looking at the Pathfinder version. Thanks. I'll take a look.

Hey all. I'm hoping that you good folks can help myself and one of my players out. My first 2024 campaign is in it's third month now (they are almost 5th) and one of the players initially asked to play a Kitsune since I do have a Asian themed continent off to the West for anyone who wanted to...

What do you folks put into a AI art generator to get photo realistic pictures? Everything I ever try just comes out looking like awful plastic art.

Story and world building is primarily my thing.

I don't think it is ever spelled out specifically, but even back under 1st edition AD&D/Basic D&D every group understood that you needed that balance. Other games that I have played, Call of Cthulhu for example, follow similarly. In the CoC campaign I am currently playing in I'm the...

This largely describes my DMing/Playing style over the last 40 years. D&D (and role-playing in general) is about becoming part of the world or setting you are playing. Immersion and perhaps less agency. We're here to tell the story that is presented to us. Not rail-roady but linear. Whether the...

Starting in 2025 these are my goals going forward into the future... 1. Continue and finish my current D&D 2024 campaign. Learn the system so I can DM better and improve going forward. 2. I'm in my early 50's now so I want to get more gaming in. I already do a fair bit of Warhammer 40K but I...

But in answer to your question, I've run fights on swinging ropes/logs, on rope bridges over cliffs and the like where balance was just as important as martial skill. One Pathfinder game a few years back, had the party fighting the final villain on the back of his colossal dragon mount. That was...
