    D&D General The joys of playing a PC with low stats

    Only allow players to roll stats when I DM, but i was raised on 3d6 in order, so 4d6 and letting them arange feels very progressive. At least they get to pick the low stat. What i like about 3d6 in order is you end up with unique characters. If I roll a 15 in intelligence and a 11 in strength...

    [KS] Dragonbane: Magic Book and Arkand City Campaign Book

    Im usually down for Free Leauge, but the city book looks Duck heavy, and that's a deal breaker for me. I might pledge for the magic book and I would definitely pay for a copy of that map.

    D&D 5E (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    Uggg as a DM your hands are tied by these spells. The best tactical option for the enemies may be to cast suggestion and take a PC out of the fight, but no one wants to make a player sit for an hour and do nothing.

    I'd say you are missing out, but I also bailed on Runequest as soon as I saw ducks.

    Oath Hammer - new d6 dice pool fantasy rpg

    It's a legitimate game and the system works. I haven't crunched the math to see if odd vs even really matters, I think they just liked d12s.

    No Initiative Order: How Do You Do It?

    I played a D&D 1e/2e hybrid campaign where I just let the PC always go first in initiative to help speed play and give them a advantage. It was fine. My preference is actually individual PC initiative rolled each round as it adds to the combat tension. But it's a lot of book keeping.

    Dragon Reflections #93

    I agree but...... 1: my math/physics skills improved a lot by applying them to D&D. It gave a young kid "real" world applications to a lot of stuff we studied in school. Not sure how my intelligence 11 fighter had access to advance math but we would exploit our player knowledge of it all the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    Forcing us to improvise it what made us stronger DMs. Getting TPKed by the owlbear made us stronger players. Don't get me started about riding in the back of pickup trucks are drinking hose water. Or why we wore onions on our belts

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    I think the limited number of physical products and the claim it will never be reprinted offered again might help drive this despite the controversy. Of course there is no guarantee they won't just decide to print more in a few years. Dodge has been advertising final editions of its hemi...

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    So true. The movie really needs a scene where Deathstalker breaks the 4th wall to argue about rules with the DM or gets caught cheating on his dice rolls. Also at least once it should have him say " but that's what my character would do".

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    Combat in 2e is also simplfied to the way many people actually played 1e combat. But most importantly it's organized in a way you can actually find stuff. The 1e players Handbook doesn't have the rules you need to play.

    D&D 5E (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    I mean by that logic a paladin would limit other players from role-playing a religiously devoted fighter. I'd be cool with 4 classes and the rest sub classes, but once you open the door to a bunch of classes some are going to step on each other's toes now and then.
