    Old timers?

    Indeed! A gang, a band, a closed knitted group of geeks hyped by the new D&D 3.0, the whole d20 explosion with all the new 3pp and the infinite possibilities open to us...

    OGL: What Are The Publishers Saying [UPDATED]

    Out of stock or really expensive in France, either in Amazon Fr or in most FLGS. Both English and French versions...

    Old timers?

    Hi Will! Really longtime, my friend... 🥹 I was surprised reading this thread and seeing that a bunch of us, old timers from Eric's board, are still here. It says something about a community when it keeps members for more than 20 years! Oh, and Planescape forever, of course! In a way this...

    OGL: Kobold Press 'Raising Our Flag' For New Open RPG

    I agree it shouldn't be too difficult, but it's the first clue of what kind of product the Black Flag Project is going to be. For all we knew, it could be a new, custom made system, or an OSR-like or whatever.

    Old timers?

    I began to read Eric Noah's 3rd Edition News in 1999, and I quickly joined the forum, so yeah, I have been here for 23 years... I feel so old now...

    OGL: Kobold Press 'Raising Our Flag' For New Open RPG

    Oooh, very interesting, in the Kickstarter FAQ they say: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/deepmagic/deep-magic-2-spellcasters-emporium-for-5th-edition-games/faqs Does it mean that Project Black Flag is mostly 5e compatible?

    OGL: What Are The Publishers Saying [UPDATED]

    Well, I found their initial issues very "in theme" for a game based on a computer game, everybody knows that the first release is often too bugged and it's better to wait for the first patch 😁

    D&D 5E (2024) New leak looks real bad

    I already pay 20$ month for a premium Roll20 account. I am the GM, I pay the premium subscription, my players have the free one. The big difference is that I pay it to get some premium features, not to be able to use any content I want in my game! I pay it because I want to support them, and...

    OGL: What Are The Publishers Saying [UPDATED]

    Steamforged Games' Dark Souls RPG author shares his opinion on the whole OGL debacle and what it means for 3pp: Dark Souls RPG dev on D&D licensing controversy: "the revolt has already begun"

    D&D 5E (2024) Have we potentially seen the end of the OneD&D Playtest?

    Or by most of software companies who work on open source code... Nobody would call Google or Microsoft non-profits, yet they release tons of software for free for anybody else (including competitors) to use with licences way more open than OGL

    D&D General How old were you when you started playing D&D?

    I started some 35 years ago, when I was something like 10 years old... Then I spent some years doing mostly MERP ⭕ and Call of Cthulhu 🐙, but went back to AD&D some 30 years ago, then a new pause in the last part of 90s, and back to D&D in '99 just before 3e, when I stumbled upon a small 3e news...

    D&D General Poll: Should a poster be expected to read (or at least skim) all posts before posting in a thread?

    I voted yes, just after reading the first post, then I read the first page and half of the second, thought a bit about angels and pinheads, read some pay on third and fourth pages and come here to post... That's ADHD in action... But yeah, I think it's reasonable to expect some reading of the...

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    Seriously, I am the only one that thinks all this could be a really elaborate prank? I have verified, we aren't near April 1st, nor any equivalent in other cultures I am aware of, but the whole situation is way too crazy to be real, isn't it?

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    So they sell loaded dice? Because succeeding at so many Death Saves is simply uncanny... 😁

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    If I had to choose a Tom Cruise film, I would use Edge of Tomorrow, with TSR dying again and again, yet coming back...

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    While reading the original post, I believed it was a joke... Then I read the whole thread, and honestly I can't fully know if all that is a very elaborate joke or a very sad reality... In any case I am baffled...

    TSR The Mystery Deepens -- Jim Ward Knows Nothing About A New TSR!

    I felt really hyped last week when I saw TSR was back (again), I even felt the day off nostalgia when I saw the cover of Giantlands (Larry Elmore's style transported me to my teen years). But the more I read about it, the more I feel bad. Special thanks about that too the community manager of...

    OSR Chromatic Dungeons Pre-Launch: Books in Hand!

    It looks really good! A nice mix of old school and modernity, and I really like what you have said in the first post, so @Sacrosanct count me on for the Kickstarter!

    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    Going to grab those PDFs now, I see some reading evenings in my near future... Re-reading the story hour, that will give me some almost twenty years old souvenirs. Really nice to see you here, compadre! So you're DMing 5e now? Are you doing a story hour or of it? I began a 5e campaign during...

    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    Wait, wait, I know I have been absent here longtime... Would you be, by chance, the storyhour author formerly known as Nemmerle?
