    TSR A New Taxonomy for TSR-Era D&D

    Generally editions are grouped like this on old TSR D&D forums: OD&D Holmes (with some unique rules by Holmes and influences by Gygax writing AD&D at the same time). ------------------- Classic D&D (B/X + BECMI + RC). There are purist like me who prefer B/X over BECMI. Many BECMI players don't...

    So what are you reading this year 2021?

    Sword of Shannara for the first time. If I had read this 25 years ago I would have been appalled by the rip-off. Now I kind of find it entertaining comparing the two stories. No one could get away with that today!

    D&D General Dungeon Master or Referee?

    A storyteller is someone who is telling a story to other people listening passively. Never liked that WWG use that term.

    Quasi-Playtest: OSR Fighter

    4 kobolds maybe? They don't have to be life threatening opponents. It doesn't really matter. I wanted to know more about your system.

    D&D 5E (2014) First World: Possibly One of the New D&D setting?

    I get that. They should have used another terms to avoid opening the door to other unintended discussions.

    D&D 5E (2014) First World: Possibly One of the New D&D setting?

    The sensitivity editor missed a big one.

    D&D 5E (2014) First World: Possibly One of the New D&D setting?

    D&D General Dungeon Master or Referee?

    To be clear I don't insist on anything. Players call me the DM. I view myself as a referee during play and an adventure designer outside to play (based on PC actions). I don't like dungeons in general.
