    Grumpy RPG Reviews: World's Worst Dungeon Crawl

    I still can't find this for sale anywhere. It sounds like a fun adventure and I would love to buy it but it seems like it might have just been something for kickstarter backers and perhaps for con fun.

    D&D 5E (2014) Playstyle- Storytelling verse Game

    I see a lot of arguments on the boards as really just a difference in play styles. From tracking experience to magic item shops and on into what to do if your character dies. Play style has a huge impact on what each of those things means to the game. I think it's important to say right off the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Give Me Three Reasons to Play Mystara/Known World

    You know I found this old old drawing of my Elf character from those days and besides being shocked that the drawing was so good(one of my friends really did have tons of talent) he had a goatee! He looks so shocking not elven compared to the elves of today that my first thought was that I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Give Me Three Reasons to Play Mystara/Known World

    To me Mystara always had a vastly different feel to it in part because the Gods were just powerful beings that used to be mortal. It gave the Immortals a much more valid reason to be actively involved in the world than in other words. Also some of the Immortals actually lived in the world. Thor...

    D&D 5E (2014) Kickstart Dragon Magazine or any other rpg type magazine?

    It seems like the postings are FULL of people who miss and loved the old magazines. Evidently though, in the modern world of high tech the old paper game just doesn't pay off like it used to. Perhaps it's just nostalgia and not enough people would actually buy the magazine to make it worth...

    D&D 5E (2014) Castle Greyhawk and World of Greyhawk Gazetter for 5E

    Ok first off I'm lazy and in a hurry so forgive if this is only my take on what happened with a faulty memory of what happened years ago. Gary hooked up with Castled and Crusades/Troll Lord Games and they did a deal to produce Castle Zagyg. They put out the first few areas (surrounding...

    D&D 5E (2014) Point buy or Dice?

    My players always want to roll stats but what they are really saying is they want great stats! If they roll 18,16,14,12,11,10 they will be happy as all get out but let a 3,5,7,8,9,10 come up and it's "I don't want to play this character, let me roll again or use point buy. Also they have...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are HotDQ Fights Too Deadly?

    It takes a skilled DMing hand to make this adventure workable with a 4 man party of the right levels. It's all well and good to say "This is the bad guy that is there doing stuff so deal with it". But when the adventure railroads the players into those fights it is just BAD DMing. Many of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Castle Greyhawk and World of Greyhawk Gazetter for 5E

    Why Gameogre! You Sir, are probably right on the money. How clever and handsome you always seem to be! You should go reply to some other posts so that you wisdom and raw personal charisma will inlighten others!

    D&D 5E (2014) Castle Greyhawk and World of Greyhawk Gazetter for 5E

    You are so 2008 with this post. Seriouly, those who followed the whole Castle Zygyg/Troll lord games fiasco came to this conclusion years ago. Well it was one of them anyway. The only one that really makes any sense at all is that indeed WOTC made a agreement with Gary's family for Castle...

    D&D 5E (2014) Give Me Three Reasons To Play Greyhawk

    Love some Greyhawk, but it is the second rpg world. Blackmoor being the actual first rpg game world. Not trying to be a arse or anything. Greyhawk rocks, it's just the third time today someone has casually mentioned Greyhawk as the first and my inner game geek (who loves Blackmoor as well)...

    Pathfinder 1E Back to the basics

    Dude, I would so slap a Klingon Wizard on a quest to find the one ring so I could defeat Iuz and turn into the Universes first World Dragon(think Dark Sun's dragon only more EPIC!) in that game!

    D&D 5E (2014) Why D&D? - Complexity is not fun for me

    Well, while I do like the new direction D&D is headed I really don't think you could call it rules lite. At first I was totally.in thrall with the new edition but as I played it more I realized that while it's a vast improvement over 3.5 / 4E, it really isn't hitting my B/X tastes like I truely...

    D&D 5E (2014) Edition Wars, WHY?

    Because the internet is full of people who are thwarted in their daily lives. What they think isn't viewed as important, what they say isn't considered worthwhile. In short they don't run the show. If they indeed acted with the judgment, will and force in the physical world that they do online...

    D&D 5E (2014) Halfling Barbarians-Finally a edition that lets the monster out of it's cage.

    Well first of all thanks for the +4 str and Con info. Somehow I missed that feature all together! Second of all my train of thought was the you capped their stats and that meant no advancement for those stats. If you are fine with letting them advance at 4th,8th...ect then indeed your house rule...

    D&D 5E (2014) Halfling Barbarians-Finally a edition that lets the monster out of it's cage.

    The Reckless Attack class feature gives you advantage on all attacks that use Strength. If you make a dex based Halfling barbarian (pumping up his dex instead of his strength) and use Finesse weapons to take advantage of that aspect for combat....you will not be able to use the reckless attack...

    D&D 5E (2014) Halfling Barbarians-Finally a edition that lets the monster out of it's cage.

    Well just as much as a Wizard with a low int but a high strength is viable. ANYTHING is viable if by viable you mean someone somewhere will play it. I really don't think you have taken a good look at barbarian if you think Dex is anywhere near as important as strength. Heck some class features...

    D&D 5E (2014) Passive perception Yay or Nay?

    I dislike that some feats give such a huge bonus to passive. Combine that with prof bonus and a high wisdom bonus and it's kinda silly with the lower DC's of 5E.

    D&D 5E (2014) Halfling Barbarians-Finally a edition that lets the monster out of it's cage.

    Well,we can just agree to disagree(about limits on core book races) but what I can agree with you about is.....Rule the game however it makes you happy. Sincerely, its not that big a deal. So halflings and gnomes will not be barbarians(too much of the barb is all about strength),ok I can live...

    D&D 5E (2014) Halfling Barbarians-Finally a edition that lets the monster out of it's cage.

    To each his own and I certainly don't meant to imply that his way is wrong for him or anything. With that said I always want to look at what a house rule will do. If you make some races significantly better than others (all together or for certain class's ect) don't be surprised when the...
