Doh! That's right, Morgan was human after all!

Yeah, although I didn't realize until just now that it's a reinterpretation of the Holmes cover (with the fighter & wizard on the right) with Morgan Ironwolf and the dwarf added in. (There's also been speculation in the past that the dwarf is on the dragon's side, not the adventurers). As for...

I'm fine with deep lore being in something like Draconomicon, Glory of the Giants, etc., but for a MM I would have rather had more monsters than the "deep lore" sections we got in Volo's and Mord's - especially since for my homebrew, the background for the creatures they talked about followed...

Didn't they give out a gold dragon virtual mini or somesuch to early adopters? With it becoming a "regular DDB feature" I wonder if it will become available to everyone else...

Or do the Morn thing from DS9 and have him be a customer that's always sitting at a "favorite table" or at the bar wherever PCs go (and perhaps have them raise a toast whenever the party returns from their adventures).

Yeah, like this piece of 2E art:

I don't ever remember seeing D&D products in Sears, but they were certainly in the local toy stores and book stores. Kay-bee, Toys-R-Us, Waldenbooks, Books-a-Million, Barnes & Noble are the ones I remember. Strangely, in both California and Mississippi - though in the latter you didn't admit...

Sorry for your loss. I'm to the age that several of my players have now passed on (currently 3, not including non-D&D friends). For me, honoring them meant that their old characters have been woven into the game world as characters of lore akin to Mordenkainen, Bigby and the like. I also...

If you needed to buy 5 base books to play D&D, I'd quit - and I think a lot of people would follow on that. Hell, plenty of games systems get by with one book. We've gotten spoiled by the number of options that D&D has in its "core" rules, sometimes I think to the detriment of onboarding new...

I stopped somewhere between 2E and 3E. So, no.

5E has become "50 ways to deplete your enemies hit points". Picking powers and abilities seems cool, until you've used them a half dozen times and its become boring. I do think hit point bloat has become a major factor in making combats overstay their welcome and I've contemplated several...

I like 2E's old ecology section - how the creature fits in the world. I don't care about it's origin so much as how it fits into world overall currently. I could take or leave the random tables. I don't find them particularly inspiring.

I used to shoot my (recurve) bow every day after school at targets that my brother and I pretended were orcs - up until I was about 20 years old. It's pretty amazing how the human eye can judge distance without a lot of fancy gear with some practice - I used to aim using the fletching and arrow...
