I once did some "back of a napkin" calculations regarding the power levels in Overlord, and came to the conclusion that Ainz was somewhere around level 40. Since you can see the influence of D&D 3.X on Overlord's magic system (particularly where "super-tier magic" is described to be beyond...

It's a response to someone asking, "Is this under license or did they buy IP?"

I recently purchased Far Distant Future Publishing's Awesome Ancestries: Species of Horror (affiliate link), which was the last of their "Awesome Ancestries" products that I didn't have. Normally, this would be where I talk about the product in question, but instead I'm going to mention some...

I was referring to that first one (i.e. the first link you posted). The second one appears to be for PF2.

Fun fact, the following companions appear in the Kingmaker Bestiary (PF1 version), with two stat blocks each: Amiri, Ekundayo, Jubilost Narthropple, Linzi, Nok-Nok, Tristian, and Valerie.

Just throwing out there that the TSR Archive website has an Alternity page, which has the year of publication for various products (albeit not the month).

Actually, that was two, since Williams had TSR release two separate Buck Rogers RPGs.

As a note, Dragon #363 had an article that back-converted several epic destinies to 3.5E.

For what it's worth, Lorraine Williams did offer a few quotes about her time at TSR in David M. Ewalt's 2013 book, Of Dice and Men (in chapter eleven, as I recall).

My understanding is that his next book is supposed to be about the early days of D&D 5E (with the working title being "Total Party Kill," based on his seminar at last year's Gen Con; and if that sounds ominous, it's because he talked about some of what he's researched, and it doesn't make WotC...

In that case, could you link to the post where you clarified your misstatement about D&D not being a very good sandbox game? I must have overlooked it.

So just to be as clear as possible, you misspoke when you said that "D&D is not a very good sandbox game," and that's not what you actually think?

Don't pronounce "brazier" as "brassiere." All kidding aside, I once had a PC die near the beginning of a session. While the character's demise was due to bad luck on the dice, my mistake was not finding something for the player to do for the rest of the evening (since the party was too low to...

I'm a little surprised myself, but only a little; while I might be forgetting something, I can't recall ever seeing a set of Core Rulebooks openly refer to the usability of a prior edition. (I think the closest I can recall is the reprinted AD&D 2E Core Rulebooks including a sidebar that they...

Reviewing this thread, I think the trajectory it's on isn't conducive to anything productive. Having made my points at length, I'll go ahead and bow out now.

That's also a good jumping off point to mentioning that the OGL, CC-BY, and ORC aren't the only TTRPG licenses out there. There's also the ELF License, the AELF License, the Free Tabletop License, and quite a few others (though many are tied to specific games and systems).

Which speaks to your not having been paying attention more than anything else. The insertion of "all" in your restatement of my point is a misrepresentation; there are always some people on the fringes who're using any given term incorrectly; see several of the people I've spoken with in this...

This is a very weird take. I mean, from what I can tell you've essentially designated that a tiny subset of people are saying something and therefore it's true of the entire TTRPG community, while because I'm the only person in this thread disagreeing, I'm out of step with the community. So if...

Precis Intermedia is having an "End of the Month Sale" on their Action and Adventure RPG, which has been marked down by over 50% from now through May 1st. Please note my use of affiliate links in this post.
