    OSR Why B/X?

    I hope this is a reference I don't get. Because if not, you're having a stroke.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark looks so good!

    The big announcement was today, and it is... Shadowdarklings.net is now official, and will contain character options from all Cursed Scroll zines for free. Cursed Scroll #1 has already been integrated, with other issues to follow shortly. Also there are shirts! But the main news is the...

    Tell me what your fetish is without telling me what your fetish is.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    The post is filled with something, but I don't think it's wonder.

    D&D General How do you know an adventure is "good" just from reading it?

    Let me mention a specific hook that I love. In the Pathfinder adventure path The Curse of the Crimson Throne, the party is brought together by a mysterious fortune-teller whose son was murdered by an especially evil local crime lord. Each PC has also been wronged by that crime lord in whatever...

    D&D General How do you know an adventure is "good" just from reading it?

    I've got to call you out for exaggerating for comic effect here. More literally, do you mean to say that they only matter for the first session? Or the first hour? You might be right, but I have indeed lost interest in a campaign in the first session, and even the first hour. I expect I'm not...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Many 5Es Can There Be?

    A worthy challenge, since it's notoriously difficult to get grognards angry about something.

    D&D 5E (2014) Not Again! Retreater Needs to Balance 5e for 7 Players

    This is a pretty cool idea. And Hidden Shrine gets my vote as one the best 10 adventures in the entire history of D&D, hands down. It's a masterpiece. If you do it, make sure to download and print the original "show-the-players" illustrations from the 1980 module to give to your players. That's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Not Again! Retreater Needs to Balance 5e for 7 Players

    Sunless Citadel is a superb adventure, but it's hardly a one-shot. You might consider looking for something that can be finished in a few hours, like an Adventurer's League adventure. There are tons of lists of the best AL modules out there to guide you. As for more general advice, I'd probably...

    D&D 5E (2024) Is Counterspell less frustrating now?

    I'm extremely stupid and so are all my friends, so that's a big relief.

    D&D General Ed Greenwood got a new gaming table and the photo has so many wonderful things in it!

    Good to know if that if your character gets killed in an Ed Greenwood game, you can easily drink away your sorrows.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I have more faith in Justin's ability to use a nuclear reactor correctly than to use an apostrophe correctly.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I can understand why. The American legal system is famous for being simple, straightforward, and above all fast.

    D&D 5E (2024) Class spell lists and pact magic are back!

    Coming in twelve pages late with my two proverbial cents. Considering that 5e is the most popular edition of D&D by a very, very wide margin, why would anyone expect that the new revision would make radical changes? Why would anyone even want that? If you want 5e changed that much, then 5e...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I would make my own joke about grappling rules in 3e, but I don't have any of the seven feats that are prerequisite for jesting about it.

    D&D General Monk: The Past, Present, and Questionable Future of an Iconic Class

    I don't want to get off-topic, but if point buy is a minority of campaigns, that's news to me. I think literally every 5e game in which I've ever played used point buy.
