I don't ever remember seeing D&D products in Sears, but they were certainly in the local toy stores and book stores. Kay-bee, Toys-R-Us, Waldenbooks, Books-a-Million, Barnes & Noble are the ones I remember. Strangely, in both California and Mississippi - though in the latter you didn't admit...

Sorry for your loss. I'm to the age that several of my players have now passed on (currently 3, not including non-D&D friends). For me, honoring them meant that their old characters have been woven into the game world as characters of lore akin to Mordenkainen, Bigby and the like. I also...

If you needed to buy 5 base books to play D&D, I'd quit - and I think a lot of people would follow on that. Hell, plenty of games systems get by with one book. We've gotten spoiled by the number of options that D&D has in its "core" rules, sometimes I think to the detriment of onboarding new...

I stopped somewhere between 2E and 3E. So, no.

5E has become "50 ways to deplete your enemies hit points". Picking powers and abilities seems cool, until you've used them a half dozen times and its become boring. I do think hit point bloat has become a major factor in making combats overstay their welcome and I've contemplated several...

I like 2E's old ecology section - how the creature fits in the world. I don't care about it's origin so much as how it fits into world overall currently. I could take or leave the random tables. I don't find them particularly inspiring.

I used to shoot my (recurve) bow every day after school at targets that my brother and I pretended were orcs - up until I was about 20 years old. It's pretty amazing how the human eye can judge distance without a lot of fancy gear with some practice - I used to aim using the fletching and arrow...

Wait, are you talking about the Gale Force 9 cards or the older ones by TSR for 1E/2E? There's quite a bit of difference.

5E could use a "lite" version that is just one book - and not be a starter set. It has been done before.

Nah, hp damage is trivial. Hit 'em where it hurts with changes or restrictions that aren't easily undone - and more interesting.

Magic should never be a replacement for a good ol' blaster at your side. Meaning, it should give the skill-less some ability, but an expert in the skill should run rings about someone who is using magic. Things like a fly spell lets you get around airborne, but you'll never fly as good as a...

The reverse is also true. WotC, Marvel & Disney can pump as much money into marketing, books and whatnot as they want, but they aren't important to me. There is no reason to support them if they don't produce what I want. And I'm not falling for the "if you don't buy what they're peddling...

`Zactly. But I would also question why you are playing a wizard with that low of an Int, especially if that was - or wasn't - your highest ability score.

Dark Creepers? AKA, "Darklings" from Volo's/Monsters of the Multiverse?

Monster Manual I Expanded is 99% "advanced" or variant monsters. The II and III have a few new creatures (more as the series goes along), but most of the entries are "expanded" variants of the MM, Mord & Volo monsters.

Nah, it's in place for a good reason. I'd personally set it higher at 15. As to the original poster's dilemma, as a DM I'd probably say you couldn't pick up new levels until you met the minimum again. I'd also be contemplating whether you'd lose access to certain class abilities until you...

You might want to check out DriveThruCards.com - they may have something there. If nothing else, the Strange Aeon card maker software should have community content templates for what you are looking for.

I have the 1991 & 1992 factory set. I think there was one more - or at least a partial set. From what i recall they did lose the company money, and the stopped them to focus on printing more Spellfire, which was making them money. I mean, looking at E-bay, you can buy a factory set of 750 of...
