    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Is he warning people to stay away from him? The others I loved as things I remember and often reference. This one... I have no memory of this one. What? That's not actually better, nor does it absolve him. I second this.

    D&D General please tell me about the old psionic classes?

    I can attest to the accuracy of those reports. I tend to agree. At the time we were all Cool! Mindpowerz!! But looking over the rules later they just felt... tacked on. They were a whole new mechanic that didn't attempt to work with the rest of the game, they were more unbalanced than nearly...

    D&D General Who “owns” a PC after the player stops using them?

    If the character is woven into the action, it becomes mine to continue or tease out as needed. If the character is not part of the action (like a story is done, we're in downtime), the departing player should 100% get to decide if his character sticks around, but I 100% get to decide if I want...

    Kickstarter Deal-Breakers (Poll)

    Honestly... All of these can be factors, especially when there's more than one. But here's the reddest flags for me... The crowdfunding page is slapdash or poorly-written. Right or wrong, if the page looks bad, or the writing is poor, or not proofed well... it informs my opinion about the...

    Grading the Cortex Plus and Cortex Prime System

    I've never played Cortex. I backed Cortex Prime, but by the time it came out I'd moved on. Haven't even read it.

    D&D 5E (2014) What, if anything, bothers you about certain casters/spells at your table?

    Summoning bothers me, though I think that's more on me and my never taking that into account. Spells that bypass mystery bother me. They probably shouldn't, but I get annoyed when someone uses magic to detect or identify anything. I'm trying to be mysterious over here! I know, I need to get...

    G/N/S epiphany

    Speaking purely from a statistical point of view and from no personal knowledge, on a more-probable-than-not-basis, I'm old enough to be your grandfather. :)

    G/N/S epiphany

    This is why you should read to the end of the thread. This thread is old enough to vote in the US, and all the comments I'd reply to are too.

    Freebies, Sales, and Charity Bundles for January 28, 2024

    You have to pay close attention to that fine Print. Books from Kobo are useless unless you own their proprietary device or you wanna read it on your web interface.

    Your Favorite Weird Game- Time To Talk About the Weirdest RPGs You Know!

    I recall the rules being weird (though the weird of 30 years ago might not be as weird today) but serviceable. And several core concepts had mechanical tie-ins as well, like the "keys" which tied you to you former humanity also gave you the power to face the threats. They were powerful tool and...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I imagine it's because her works retroactively mean nothing to him. He's redacted her contribution and now just wants to pile more disrespect on, because disrespect is all he has to give.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tell me about some non-core/3rd party Druid Circles

    I can't find it... but there was a product I read that had the Circle of the Furies (or something close to that). It posited a druid who represented nature's fury. This druid traded her Wildshape ability for a Stormshape ability with increasing utility at higher levels. She also traded away the...

    Valid. But I'll find some way to be nice to other people and blame Just Lasagna for it.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I'm between jobs RN but I'm making a list. Every person Just Lasagna (he's forfeited his right to his name IMO) slurs or threatens... I'm going to buy something from if they have something to sell.

    There's a way to lessen this feeling. Show 20 posts per page. I'm only on page 472, and therefore am half as surprised as you.

    Single System Monogamy

    I am Monogamous. But... you drift apart... you learn things, begin to see the imperfections. Eventually you realize you need more. You break up, and spend a while trying out new things. And then... you fall for one... and they consume your whole being. And like that, you're exclusive again...

    Terrible sequels

    Of all the ones already said, Godfather 3 had to be the longest drop. Godfather was amazing. Half of Godfather 2 was even better. The other half... still good. Godfather 3... huge disappointment. For mine, Die Hard 4 & 5. 4 was a case of big fall. 3 ("with a vengeance") was the height, and 4...

    Your Favorite Weird Game- Time To Talk About the Weirdest RPGs You Know!

    Perhaps I didn't make my point as well as I'd hoped. (And sorry for the late reply; only just came across this thread again.) I know GMs make a lot of choices. My point was the rules of Everway was the first time I saw (and one of the few) to make those GM choices an explicit part of the...
