I've never read any Lovecraft, but I would feel resentment if some kids decided that I would be racist if I read it, and so banned me from ever reading it.

2e so the combat was not slow...

For me it was reading Tunnels and Trolls and the descriptions of combat. Those fights are etched into my brain as they spiked my imagination of what it was like to be an adventurer Same in 1st edition D&D. The example of combat just brought everything together. Unlike T&T they didn't use...

I think the new DMG should point players to use dndcombat.com to test their battles, and WOTC should pay to have to it finished :) Because no CR system is useful when you can create a party of optimized bladesingers and warlock hexblades that can fight double what your default random party can...

This upset me so much. The add 100 years ruined the forgotten realms, ruined the stories, ruined every character that was not an elf. This whole keep FR lore/magic in synch with the current edition was so garbage. idk what to say, still burns. I can't even read Drizzt anymore. I liked Dragon...

How old are you? Maybe work on a will which gives me your collection. One thing I found that amused me, was an audible series which is a Fighting Fantasy play, narrated by actors who work there way through the Warlock of Firetop mountain and a few more books.

I rebought all my fighting fantasy books last year, because nostalgia, or at least 1-50. I did not however buy 51-60 because those were expensive and unlike D&D modules I don't think grand kids would get their money back on those once all the old guys die off.

The seller bought it off ebay in 2012 so maybe he shrink wrapped it. $800 is a pretty good investment, considering how much other things sell for.

I started my players out in Cormyr (and added Temple of Elemental Evil to Faerun though I can't remember where).

I was very distressed that 4e added 100 years effectively killing hundreds of characters. I would like to reboot to then too (which is where I started, box + hardcover). Is handsome robs map from that time? this one : /faerun/

My players succeeded in the tomb of horrors because they were high enough level and smart enough to survive it.

5e is super sensitive about getting outnumbered, more so than I remembered in 2e. Target selection is not random, but there are a slew of factors, it starts with who is closest, but works to not bunch up melee on the nearest target, is a little sticky to the last person you attacked. AOE...

Maybe the thing is 5e is so huge, it just makes other editions seem so small lol. I've been buying up all the 1e and 2e hardback and boxed sets, classic modules. I loved those editions a lot and my nostalgia is super strong right now. I'm envisioning reading everything and playing through for...

Back in 2e days I would balance the final big boss battle by determining each sides total dmg/round and compare AC, total hit points. It worked quite well. For 5e I wrote a full blown simulator (dndcombat.com) Do you think a 2e AI simulator is worth doing? Its mostly for nostalgia of...

Finally finished this feature: DnDCombat Compendium Create a Tourney with our full blown 5e combat simulator and have the teams duke it out with spells, movement/dash/obstacles on a grid, area of effect/ranged, timed conditions, reactions, bonus/legendary, and so much more. Click blue person...

Thats a big discussion. The short answer is every spell and action a player or monster can do has a base weight (a number that can be overridden by the owner). There are many factors that adjust that value (e.g. does the breath weapon hit many targets, does the spell disable the opponent)...

Tiamat is higher because Tiamat never lost, whereas Tarrasque lost to Tiamat. Each individual row the Elo history is a best of 8 fights. If it is a draw it is not recorded.
