I both played in and DM'd many campaigns that started between 1st-3rd level and made it to 20th+. Of course this was in 1st/2nd edition AD&D. I started 3rd edition around 2001 or so. Played through it, 3.5, Pathfinder, 4e, then back to Pathfinder. Through all that time I never had a campaign...

She's truly blessed. Seriously. Does she have any idea how lucky she is? I wish I could forget those things.

For the D&D brand? Definitely 1st and 2nd edition AD&D.

Mine was just a general observation on weapon/armor mechanics in rpgs. I've not specifically looked at the list of 5e weapons and armor beyond the play tests. I flipped through a copy at my local hobby store earlier today, but was generally checking out the quality, art, and presentation...

Of course there's going to be mistakes. But all these defects I spotted was just by glancing. I didn't even open the other copies. The other were all damaged on the exterior. The one I picked up was the only one with a decent exterior. And I only flipped through it to guage the art and...

In the past, I preferred seeing weapons that were mechanically different, much like the OP mentioned. But since playing Numenera and other RPGs, I've shifted to favor simpler choices. Having most all weapons mechanically different gives the illusion of having more choices. But in reality, it...

Nah, didn't know anything about that. My turning to 4e was a desperation move to get away from the rule bloated 3e/Pathfinder system after my 2e/AD&D books had been destroyed by water damage. So I didn't try 4e til 2010-2011 (somewhere 'round there).

A buddy of mine and I stopped by our local hobby store today and I glanced at the new 5e Player's Handbook while I was there. Flipping through the spells section of one of the books, I noticed several pages that looked as though the printer was almost out of ink. The lettering, though I could...

My group and I are currently playing the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG with AD&D/Labyrinth Lord races and classes converted for the DCC system and houseruled in. Generally play it, and sometimes Numenera whenever we feel like something different.

Never liked using miniatures for gameplay. But I used to collect and paint them when I was younger, using them occasionally for marching order. But that was when I was younger, and Ral Partha made some quality pewter miniatures with good detail. Don't care anything for the cheap plastic...

Trolls. But not the forum kind.

Why is it you felt this subject needed it's own thread? Why does there need to be an argument over these rules to begin with? You play it the way you and your group enjoys it, and leave others to do the same. Simple as that. Some players might feel hiding behind another player and popping...

Why should Leira be dead in your games, and why would you have to wait and hope for the possibility that Leira might return in 5th edition Forgotten Realms? I too, always liked Leira as a goddess in the Forgotten Realms. It's your choice in your games whether or not you follow the events of...

My group and I beat them to it by years. After trying 4e for the better part of a year, we decided to take all our 4e book along on a camping trip. We used them to fuel the campfire til they were all gone. Meanwhile, we drank and played some Pathfinder (which we defaulted back to as the rpg we...

Eh...Typical of what we see all the time these days. Seems the majority of younger people playing don't like to play heroes or the good guys these days. They all like to jump the "Soul this...", "Shadow that...", "Bleeah, Bleeeah, I'm a vampire!" bandwagon. The corps and management that have...

LoL Yeah, used to love those books. There was also "Spell of the Winter Wizard", Escape from..."Tenopia", and "the Kingdom of Frome". lol I used to love the Lone Wolf and World of Lone Wolf books as well. Use to read CYOA along with more tradition fantasy books before I played my first game...

Cliff Notes? Yeah I can sum it up... WoW: The Gathering

What will 4e be remembered for? Only time will tell what the majority of individuals remember it for. But for now, it can't be answered except by the individual. For me and the groups I play with, we already refer to 4e as WoW: The Gathering. That pretty much sums it up for us.

I didn't purchase the Starter Set, as 5th edition isn't what I'm after. I did watch an unboxing on youtube, however, when I was making my final decision whether to buy or not. On this subject, though I prefer monsters and NPC's use spells as they did in past editions, I do not like the return...

I did similar with the system I'm creating for my group. I have 18 as the natural cap on abilities, with racial bonus capable of exceeding 18. Sub-race bonuses cannot exceed 18. And I placed caps instead of penalties. Halfling is capped at 16 str, Elf at 16 con, etc.
