    How to Tell a Player, "No"?

    Yeah, I looked up a Saurial 5E race, and offered it, but the suggestion was ignored, and I got the video game and hadrosaur stuff I posted earlier.

    How to Tell a Player, "No"?

    Step One: Work in Nuclear Power Step Two: Be a PM Never had this come up before. I’ve dropped into games as a player with this sort of thing though. Last year in the lower Hudson valley, I played at a local shop with a Stay Puffed marshmallow man and an animated set of walking boots. Everyone...

    How to Tell a Player, "No"?

    This is the concept exposition: My background in video games is kind of a mix of characters and I am wondering if we could figure out a way to bring some of those elements into this D&D campaign. Jurassic World Alive - hybrid dinosaurs, the hadrosaurs are generally healers with some other...

    Spelljammer campaigns: how do they look?

    Well-known more for his Monster Mythology update series, AuldDragon also has a large series of actual plays on YouTube for Spelljammer campaigns. He runs 2E AD&D, but the story is edition irrelevant.

    How to Tell a Player, "No"?

    So, I moved to a new country for work. Pretty similar to my home country, but still a different country. That's not particularly pertinent, but just setting up context. This move also put the final blow on my long running, albeit already hiatused campaign I'd ran off and on since 2017...

    AD&D 2E Did The Complete Fighter's Handbook kill "Zero to Hero"?

    Not particularly moreso than a vanilla paladin.

    AD&D 2E Did The Complete Fighter's Handbook kill "Zero to Hero"?

    Skip Williams said so in a Sage Advice. Basically, if the action occurs before initiative numbers, then all those actions would go at once. That said, there are some interesting implications that could be considered. Basically, the arrow has to be nocked and the target covered prior to the...

    AD&D 2E Did The Complete Fighter's Handbook kill "Zero to Hero"?

    Actions are still declared, and it is not "before the round" but before the lowest initiative roll. A haste spell would still allow simultaneous action during this part of the round.

    AD&D 2E Did The Complete Fighter's Handbook kill "Zero to Hero"?

    Given the low hp of wizards in general, the high damage potential of a buffed fighter, it isn't completely unrealistic to think it could happen. A wizard that can't cast in round 1 is often a dead wizard anyway.

    AD&D 2E Did The Complete Fighter's Handbook kill "Zero to Hero"?

    You get your two shots. One before any other actions and then, technically RAW, one after all other actions. Although I'd probably allow the second shot on the fighter's initiative roll. Again, the shot itself is what is valuable, as long as the hit is good, you're disrupting the caster's...

    AD&D 2E [2e] Monster Mythology Update Project

    I'd like to meet those 2% halfling and gnome worshipers personally.

    The description says that duergar and drow are primary worshippers in the Underdark.

    AD&D 2E Let's Read the AD&D 2nd Edition PHB+DMG!

    That was errata and I believe was added in subsequent printings of the 1989 version as well.

    AD&D 2E Let's Read the AD&D 2nd Edition PHB+DMG!

    The turning stuff was part of the errata that didn’t get published ever really outside of Dragon Magazine. Like, evil priests were able to turn paladins for instance. One of the later (very late—1999) WotC 2E products, Guide to Hell finally updates the turning table to include fiends (the...

    I’d like to say no, but I’m not sure. I did manage to quote myself and nothing else.

    D&D 5E (2024) Kobold Press posts 2024 DMG Hit Piece

    Y’all act like this has ever worked out in the industry? GW is pretty much the only game for war gaming because it bought Citidel and the “official mini” was from a house organ. WotC isn’t financially dependent upon D&D. Would it like to make more? Sure, but allowing itself to be effectively...

    D&D 5E (2024) Kobold Press posts 2024 DMG Hit Piece

    Well, things are getting a bit testy. First, your feelings on a subject are valid but that doesn’t mean that your opinion is. You’re entitled to your opinion, but no one else should feel that it matters. Secondly, it’s somewhat irrelevant that WotC has been accused of bad behavior regarding...

    AD&D 2E Let's Read the AD&D 2nd Edition PHB+DMG!

    There were differences in the 89 printings as well. At some point, “any” was changed to “H, H-E, E” There were close to 10 printings with various errata updates prior to 1995 reprint. EDIT: there’s at least 11 printings of the 89. The 1st one has differences. 2nd+ are all including the...
