FR wiki have an explanation at Dagult's page. I didn't check their source, but it makes sense.

Maybe OSRIC? It does a good job making the AD&D rules understandable for newcomers, and it's easier to reference. And if you think AD&D books (1e or 2e) are good as they are, you can get print-on-demand of both editions at DriveThruRPG.

I'm a SF fan and I heard a lot about Traveller, but I still don't know how the game plays. What are the game loops? What kind of characters you can create? What kind of adventures and stories should I expect? What do I spend most of my time doing in a game session? If you think Traveller is a...

I use feet, miles and pounds even if I don't know exactly what they mean. I know inches are very small, 1ft is about the size of a 30 cm ruler, a mile is more than a kilometre and 10 pounds is the average weight of a cat, and that's all I need to know. It's like B/X, that used "coins" as a...

Rolling with the OD&D idea of prime requisites and the four classes, I would keep Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom and Dexterity with the Fighter, the Magic-User, the Cleric and the Thief respectively, and create a new class for Charisma. Since Charisma governs your ability to amass followers on...

This is big news! A BX / 1e SRD would be the best-case scenario for the OSR scene that relies on hacking the 3rd edition SRD. Do you know where he said that?

They are saying "previous editions" instead of "previous SRDs". Am I reading too much, or is it possible that 4e and/or AD&D will be added to Creative Commons?

Short, older style adventure for 5e? I strongly recommend Winter's Daughter.

I like 5e how it is, maybe I borrow some rules, but I think it's unlikely I'll ever switch entirely to One D&D if it goes the way it's going. Not because it's bad, but because it's unexciting. It's just 5e but more unfamiliar and not really better.

I used to, but I found out that my creativity for titles runs out pretty quickly I'll post the list of titles of a previous campaign if I can find it.

Into the Odd, because it captures the exactly feeling I want to convey when the characters begin a adventure.

About dragonborns and tieflings: I agree with @Yora that fully returning to the Old Grey Box feeling is impossible without AD&D or an adjacent system (like OSE advanced). My personal reboot idea would not have the same feeling the OGB had, but the same density, as in a setting that you can...

The history of FR maps is quite convoluted. They change dimensions across editions, whole new regions are annexed from other planes and vanish some years later etc. I think the current Map of Faerûn by Mike Schley is the closest that we have from a "map without lore that won't cause plot holes"...

Everything is unique and takes practice and patience if you ask ChatGPT.

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion lately, but I actually like the Forgotten Realms setting. However, every time I start a campaign set in the Realms I see myself going back to the Old Grey Box. The amount of lore current FR has is overwhelming, and I think it would benefit from a reboot (soft or...

I had all three kinds of failed campaigns: "Failed to launch" campaigns are by far my largest collection. The vast majority failed because of scheduling issues, some because I couldn't make the necessary prep to kick-start the campaign, some because I had a "very good idea" but couldn't see how...

I don't think I can see Rowling's views as anything but pure and vile hate, but that's me. I agree JK don't deserve death threats, but I can't see how someone standing for a position that threatens the very existence of an already endangered group can come from a good place.

Asking for clarification: I know that moral correctness is subjective, but what do you mean by "concerning itself"? I wouldn't classify the example you gave, Mazfroth's Mighty Digressions, as "concerning itself with moral correctness". It says that killing everybody without dialogue is a...

I voted for something else: I like the houserule that when healed, downed PCs take 3d10 minutes to wake up. It makes getting to 0hp very dangerous during combat.
