Bard with Urchin background would be fine. Olive never backstabbed anyone to my knowledge, so there's nothing in particular she'd gain from Rogue levels that wouldn't let her function as a skilled thief in 5e. OTOH, other than singing so well she could keep Mist entertained, there's nothing...

I'll admit, I started to softball my 2e games pretty quickly. Max hit points at first level, followed by roll twice for hit points (taking the better at each level thereafter), fractional hit points for multiclass characters, generous die rolling (4d6 drop 1, re-roll any 1's), and plentiful...

It's funny that I'm more than willing to just end a combat where I see no point in the NPC's continuing- usually when combats go south, most NPC's will attempt to flee, which seems to annoy players more than simply fighting to the death, so it's probably better this way. On the other hand, if...

Vincent D'Onofrio, when asked about Kingpin's strength, points out that in the original Daredevil series, when he fights Matt, he's throwing a grown man around like a rag doll. In other words, as far as he's concerned, Kingpin has always been incredibly strong from the get-go, and people who've...

If you run your game where combat is only a portion of the experience (lots of NPC interaction, exploration challenges, and so on), it might be worth it to have a character who is very good at either A) making many skill checks or B) having spells and abilities that let you sidestep having to...

Yes, that too. Maybe Fisk is a Skrull or something?

When Fisk appears in Hawkeye, he seems to be fairly superhuman- ripping off a car door with his bare hands, as well as no-selling being hit by a car (let alone exploding arrows).

Sorry, it's a reference to a line from the first episode of House (tv series, not movie), referring to a Rolling Stones song.

That reminds me of what the philosopher Jagger once said...

Yeah but if you remember CustServ, two different people could ask the same question and get two different answers.

Oh yeah, it goes south pretty much instantly. Don't ask me how Frank is still able to talk after taking all those shots to the jaw from the cops, lol. Though I recall what me and my friends would joke about back in the 90's when the Punisher was at his height of popularity. The more money...

Guaranteed? No. But if you play a lot of TSR-era adventures (modules, supplements, and Dungeon), you're going to have so many +1 swords, shields, and rings of protection you won't know what to do with them all! My current 5e game is based on me converting a lot of old favorites, and even with...

I wasn't intending to say that TSR-era was more creative than modern D&D. But the sample size of new ideas if not actually larger (my giant folder of TSR-era books as well as Dragon & Dungeon on .pdf dwarfs my WotC folders seems to indicate this, but I'm not looking to fight about it, lol)...

For someone who routinely gives Batman a run for well prepared plans, it did seem very unusual. No armored van full of weapons. NOT EVEN BODY ARMOR! On the other hand, here you have someone who had so much taken from him. He's killed so many, yet nothing changes. Innocent people are hurt all...

I mean, while there were many DM's I played with in the TSR era who believed in never giving players and even break and were even proud when they slew a PC, the ones whose campaigns lasted the longest did, in fact, softball quite a bit, though I didn't realize that at the time. Everyone is...

Love me some Radiohead. Wow, the stakes are high! As much as I loved this episode (and can't wait for Season 2), as others have noted, the power of the story is undercut somewhat when you start asking what happened to all the other heroes who might have a stake in this new fresh hell. Were...

"Perchance to Dream" really showcases Kevin Conroy's talent as a voice actor.

There was no lower limit for descending AC either- oh sure, AC -10 was the limit for players, but some monsters could go lower, so it wasn't an absolute limit.

But there are opinions that are factually wrong. If someone is running around telling people that the United States won the War of 1812 (which I was actually taught in school growing up!) and that Canadians never set the White House on fire, shouldn't someone at least try to stop the...

I thought so, but I was surprised how many people I was playing with at the time turned up their noses at the idea.
