    D&D 5E (2014) Do You Prefer Sandbox or Party Level Areas In Your Game World?

    How do your players or characters know when to flee? Are you using only published monsters? It might be a carry over from Rolemaster, but in most of my games, the power of the monsters are not know to the players until they have fought them more than once and even then there are different power...

    D&D 3.x 3.X Retrospective 19 Years in Production.

    There is one thing causes me to have a different outlook on 3x then most currently spouse. The way we games AD&D and the first year or so of 3x was completely different. Most of us old school players and DMs where quite use to ignoring any rule or not allowing any thing that we did not want...

    D&D 5E (2014) Healing and resting variants

    Since I am new to 5e and planning to run for new players, I wanted the easier healing and rules. New players don't know how to use all of their abilities to well or when to run. It also lends it self to the high Heroic style I want to run.

    D&D General What have you done with Orcs in your games?

    I am thinking of using a suggestion that I ran across. I will give them a Klingon like culture. Fierce, normally lawful, and honorable. But with little regard to the morality of their actions beyond their honor code.

    Essential system/edition independent books

    The writer does not own the rights. Task Force Games owned them. ADB who now owns the rights to Starfleet Battles did not pick up this property and I cannot find out who now owns it. I have found copies online for sale but cheapest was almost $100.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Virtual Table Top are you using right now and what do you like best about it?

    I am actually very new to online gaming. I watch a lot of videos and found FG the cheapest for the DM. It also supports home brew games quite well, allowing me to import maps form various web sites or form Campaign Cartographer. It has extensive fan support for added or modified systems and...

    D&D General How often (on average) do you have D&D sessions with absolutely no combat?

    It has varied over time, depending on the group. Ranging from 1 in 3 to every game. Of course at one time our sessions where 8 to 10 hour each. Military over seas with not much else allowed some long sessions. The group makes the biggest difference. I has groups that spent two to three hours in...

    Dragon Magazine CD archive.

    Well, it is just not worth for me at this time. I never used most of the stuff and it is all from 3rd and earlier. I have just spent 4 months worth of allowance setting up so I can start using Fantasy Ground to run a campaign. Spending $25 dollars for something that I might only use once just...

    Dragon Magazine CD archive.

    Thanks everyone for the input. I will take my time about pricing before I put up somewhere. Just knowing there is a small market is nice. I was thinking at first it was of no value at all and not a clue of where to sell it.

    Dragon Magazine CD archive.

    I have the old Dragon Magazine archive that was sold by TSR. I am wondering where the best place to try and sell it. I am not a historian and frankly have no use for it. Also would like to know what people would thing a fair price for it would be. It has the first 250 issues in PDF format. I...

    Dragon Reflections #38

    Yea, this makes me want to find a way to use my discs with the Dragon magazine on them. It was an old produce that had all of the Dragons up until 3rd on them in PDF format.

    Best GAMES AROUND! (NOT D20/4e, White Wolf or Cthulhu)

    If you like a realistic feeling, low magic system with out levels checkout Harn Master. Takes a like time to get use to but there is no super characters and it the feel of actually playing a medieval character.

    What games from the early 80's are still being published?

    When did Car Wars become a RPG? It was just a board game at first. Also the original rules are no longer published. The current version is a GRUPS supplement. Merric, your break down is great. Later I am going to have update my first post using it.

    What games from the early 80's are still being published?

    Thanks, I did not know so many of the early games where still available. As for as the break between 3e and 1/2e DD as being different. Your right I had not look that deep.

    What games from the early 80's are still being published?

    I am going to say yes. PDFs count as does the Retros. I am just aiming for games that are still close to the original versions that where available in the 84 or earlier.

    What games from the early 80's are still being published?

    So my list so far is: Rolemaster Champions Call of Cthulhu Tunnels & Trolls Toons Aftermath! Do the Retro Clones actually count as still in print since they are not the actual original game? I am of two minds. First yes because the rules are suppose to be close and no because they are not...

    With TORG having a possible buyer I'm jonesing for some Cross Genre Gaming

    I agree on the setting I meant the part of the system that directly effected the setting. The rules that allowed the PC to push the Shards/other possibilities off. They where not very well written nor was there very good information on how important that part was to the whole campaign. My wife...

    What games from the early 80's are still being published?

    Ok, I am going to have to clarify what I was. I am really thinking of the underlying mechanics. Other wise DD 1 to 3 would not count. And yes I did play RM 1 and 2 using both sets of books with interchangeably. RMSS was a major change but not 1 to 2. 2nd Edition used the same Character Law...
