Yeah, it’s weird as an old guy who started right after 2E started and stopped around 2000 so had literally zero idea of who Gygax or Arneson were as they had the least amount of references in the front matter of stuff of the at era. Then I missed the Gygax on the Forums of the 2000s. My...

I've included 3 dragons total in all my games since I started DM'ing around 1993. They are just a huge pain to run properly, and if ran properly, it is hard for a party to defeat one. The game in itself is actually pretty bad at running a creature with flying and powerful standoff weaponry...

I think we need pics of that.

Depends, do you have a 1st printing? If so, then yes. If not, then you would not necessarily have any idea what we're talking about. If you don't know, then here you go: https://www.enworld.org/threads/dawizard.260844/

How many 1d6/lvl dawizard are in yours?

I suppose I agree, to a point. There has to be some delineation of objective time duration because rounds also measure movement and duration of effects—everything from spells to clockworks to poison and splash damage. While a non-fixed arbitrary duration for pure combat exchange would be...

Yeah, this is the why of the 1 minute round and it really made no sense to retain it. Again, it seems that it had been removed from B/X without issue and it could be just as easily removed from AD&D likewise as shown by the optional rules presented in the middle of the 2E era. Granted, it is...

So, I finally got a 3 page long, illustrated pdf (I contemplated attaching it, but I think at this point it would be more 'laughing at instead of laughing with' the person, and I'm not really wanting that) write up of the character concept. It was very detailed and completely not anything like...

When PO:C&T was released, one thing that stood out was just how arbitrary the length of time was. It really didn't have any objective value, or at least the previous objective value being removed didn't seem to affect gameplay whatsoever. One thing that it did highlight was just how ridiculous...

Which version? I wish I had mine, but they were all borrowed when I joined the military and disappeared. Pretty sure the covers had all fallen off as they were the 1989 version. I've replaced them with the black bound revised versions. I happened to find out one of my cousins had a few of my...

Value wise, my four complete Planescape boxed sets (campaign setting, Planes of Law, Planes of Chaos, & Planes of Conflict) followed closely by all the Encyclopedia Magica and Wizard’s & Priest’s Spell Compendiums. Prizes would likely be a mix of FRS1 The Dalelands (my first setting product...

nuTSR? Again, they had other things that forced them out of business, including bad product and copyright infringement, but there was definitely some shouting down regarding their biases in their stuff. Granted, it was absolutely justified.

I get it, but at some level telling people to effectively, “just get on with it” regarding assimilation, it does raise the question of who gets to establish the cultural norms and practices that are in force? At one level, I’ve had similar feelings towards ethnic groups (as for the use of...

We’re not discussing morality of sexual imagery, but sexism and gender stereotyping. In the case of so-called American puritanical attitudes, I don’t think anyone would have accused 1970s TSR of having those.

I was at a fall festival this past September with a fella in a full SS uniform. My office has “Freedom Convoy” posters all over—and I work for a government agency. To that end, several of the security have visible Rooster tats with “Proud of your boy” rockers. I’ve only been living in Ontario...

As an American currently living in Canada, I'm not sure that the practicality of your sentiment is in actual practice. The bigotry is differently directed than what I'm used to in the states, but it is quite healthy and folks are quite willing to discuss how they feel about "those people."...

I mean, Harry Potter is pretty close to this. "Muggles" aren't really looked upon in a particularly good light. One could make a relatively decent argument that humans aren't portrayed very well in Tolkien's works either, granted, he was basing human frailty of conviction and morals upon the...
