    AD&D 1E Seriously contemplating an attempt at a retro AD&D

    Wait, a short bow can fire twice a round! I've read all my AD&D books over COVID cover to cover and somehow still missed all these rules, haha.

    AD&D 1E Seriously contemplating an attempt at a retro AD&D

    Huh, add that to the pile of AD&D rules I've completely missed and will continue to ignore...

    D&D General "The Women of Dungeons & Dragons" USC Library Display Case

    That is awesome!!! It really bums me out when I see articles/blogs/posts that run on the assumption that women in the hobby is a recent thing (probably from the rise of more female gamers). As the "The Women in Dungeons and Dragons" sign points out though, there have always been important women...

    OSR How much does your party use Retainers, Henchmen and Strongholds?

    I like the idea of companions in some fashion to round out the party if needed and always find a way to mechanically tie it to Charisma. I think my latest pipedream setup for my OSR games is every player gets one "actual" character that is more powerful on average (4d6, drop lowest, assigned by...

    The history of actual play as entertainment.

    The first time I ever saw actual play content was I Hit It with My Axe by TheEscapist (2010). As for what actually paved the way for Critical Role like shows, I think that would have to be Chris Perkins' and Penny Arcade's Acquisitions Incorporated (2008) ... which for some reason I didn't...

    Cookin again

    Just made Brazilian "Lemonade" (actually limes) this weekend, pretty tasty. For the adventurous: 4 limes, split 3x (so 1/8s), peel and all 1 can (7 oz.) condensed milk 1/3 cup sugar 4 cups of water 4 cups of ice Blend everything but the ice on a low-ish setting (don't want to blend that peel...

    Cookin again

    I constantly buy ginger and green onions. Whatever is left over a couple weeks later I cut up and "sacrifice" to the wok by cutting them up (green onion in 1/3, ginger in slices) and sauteing them in oil over medium heat until they're completely charred, paying attention to press against the...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    For me, in a sea of cringe anime (unrealistic woman, harem BS, whiney/insecure protagonists, etc.), Cowboy Bebop stands out as being "cool". Easy to recommend to "normie" adults interested in anime. Also, that jazzy soundtrack and fighting animation is just perfect, haha.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Maybe this was done to raise awareness on the importance of pronouns and the pain caused by misgendering others... 🤔

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    I'm in agreement with most have responded with. Understand there's probably a lot of hateful things being spewed online, but just because I'm not thrilled with this decision doesn't mean I'm on "team terrible". Inclusivity is important to me; I just don't like the way WotC goes about it. It...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    We're talking about the company who's executive producer said, "In my viewpoint, honestly, guys like me [straight/white] can't leave soon enough for this hobby." I'm tempted to say, there is certainly "a push". Crazy radical idea here: there's room in this hobby for everyone. I hope we can all...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    After reading the article I was bummed that I could have had the actual character and dragon from the iconic picture because it does mean a lot to me. Well yeah... Fellow lifetime "leftist" here. 👋 Honestly surprised you feel so strongly about me wishing there were two versions. One to...

    Anyone who was would rather have the actual character in the 50th celebration set is what I had in mind while typing.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    I don't think so. Look, we all know that's 100% a man; that's kind of where the "hehe" part of this stunt comes from. To take this from a fun joke to official retcon is awkward, very unnatural, and is done to drive home a message and drum up controversary.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Natural, as in that group of developers just created what came naturally to them. Nothing grand in scope.
