    Happy GM's Day

    Hello everyone, Today is the 15th anniversary of the passing of Gary Gygax and it is also Game Master's day. I didn't see any posting about this today, so before the day slipped away, I thought I would make a posting about it here. I was fortunate to be able to meet Mr. Gygax and have a nice...

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    I am sorry, Shardstone, for my passive aggression. I should have done better.

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    I am sorry, Shardstone. It made sense to me when I wrote it. I wish I had not let you and all of Enworld down with such an ill-considered and inappropriate comparison. I also apologize for having wasted your time with my poorly-chosen words both there and here.

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    Well, those people are likely as responsible (perhaps) for the retraction and amendments as they were for the initial draft. To be honest with you, I have always felt like the OGL and Wizards's willingness to make its documents available for free on the website (like the most basic version of...

    D&D 5E (2024) How many classes do you want to see this edition?

    I voted "more than 5e," but I would like to qualify. I have not had an opportunity to read this thread yet, so if I reproduce what others say, it is not due to the influence of anything already written here. I voted this way b/c I think there is still conceptual space in 5e for a psionist...

    D&D General Ed Greenwood's $5K Contract To Sell The Forgotten Realms

    It was the first campaign setting that I DMed in..using that box. The campaign lasted for years and we loved it. That was 33-34 years ago. Now I am going to see some of the locations in which those characters (two of my original players have since passed on) adventured on the screen in the...

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Expert Classes Playtest Document Is Live

    So you responded with an ad hominem attack about him? First, he bothered to respond. Second, if you did not like his (presumably emailed and therefore person-to-person) response, why translate it into an attack against him as a person in a public forum and, thereby, derail the ongoing discussion...

    D&D 5E (2014) Unearthed Arcana: Travelers of the Multiverse

    I am sorry to have misrepresented the prominence of mind flayers in the Spelljammer setting as a whole. Mind flayers are still up to their typical schemes. The differences that I noticed are twofold: 1) The aforementioned absence of mind flayers from the random encounter tables (two tables) for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Unearthed Arcana: Travelers of the Multiverse

    Now that the 5th Edition Spelljammer: Adventures in Space has been out for four days and I spent the weekend reading all three books, I thought I would revisit my thoughts from above (and elsewhere over the years in these forums): I was wrong: the Astral Sea works brilliantly. As someone who...

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] The things I like about D&D One Playtest, and the things I LOVE!

    A great idea for a thread, Snarf, thanks! I started playing D&D in 1980. I have grown exhausted of edition changes because of how it sucks up all the creativity at TSR or Wizards and assigns the authors who could be otherwise writing genuinely new material to producing not only yet another...

    That was so thoughtful, Snarf. Thanks!

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    Thanks, I think these are good suggestions. I will hang out here and in the new thread that Snarf Zagyg set up. It was a little hard for me to at first avoid the One D&D thread because, after having such skepticism about the announcement of a new edition last year, I was so elated when I...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    I got so embittered reading the negative, narrow-minded reactions to the One D&D announcement. If anyone searches my posting history, you would see I have been very much against a new edition. Now Wizards announces their plan and releases a first extensive play test and I observe Wizards working...

    D&D 5E (2014) New stuff?

    Here are quotes that I take from a posting on this topic that I made on June 1, 2020 (D&D 5E - The Multiverse): I think there has been an intentional ambiguity built in in order to retain the unique flavor of settings. For example, in preparing for Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron, Keith Baker and...

    D&D 5E (2014) New stuff?

    Hi Paul. I am not sure where you are getting this information, but is is entirely not true. I own the original Spelljammer box set (I purchased it the week it was released) and I DMed many adventures in it over the decades, there is nothing in the Spelljammer cosmology that contradicts the D&D...
