    D&D 5E (2014) Help with kids game…

    I added cultists which are easy to kill and in a few places will roll morale for enemies. Elsewhere, I have enemies that can be recruited to help! There are many ways they can get an advantage. We shall see! Just got the maps done, descriptions typed up, creatures selected. Funny enough I...

    Christmas swag!

    That was so nice of my brother…he often paints me something for Christmas or birthday. Previously painted some demon lords and I cherish rhem Since it is something he “made” for me but also I like using them in game!

    OSR Dragonslayer RPG truly delivers.

    yeah, i think my pals would play it. i inisist on grids and minis and looks like that is not a problem either. i actually do like 5e a lot. but it is such a different itch that is scratched. if you want to have a character you are pretty sure you will keep longer term...i mean not 100% but...

    OSR Dragonslayer RPG truly delivers.

    I was able to read the preview and then some. I have to say, I am very impressed. I suppose the question is why not go BECMI? That is not really easy for me to answer. I do own becmi on pdf…save immortals. But I digress. I guess you could say I am all in of 5e generally. I have all the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Optimizing for more grit…

    The more I think about it, the less thrilled I am with cantrips for this type of adventure. I am thinking only 1st level and above can ct through the dark magic in the tomb to escape entropy…and actually have a cohesive effect. If I do this I would be telling people up front so they don’t...

    D&D 5E (2014) Optimizing for more grit…

    Do you have a container or inventory system you recommend? You like that idea a lot. Same with bakers kit…like the idea of using up bandages and salves…

    D&D 5E (2014) Optimizing for more grit…

    It is funny…even as a player I see it. Once you have new toys and widgets and hat you get used to, it’s hard to get rid of them or lose power. I am think my approach will be more o have this the de facto situation with the rules with in game rationale; barrowmaze won’t allow normal healing and...

    OSR Dragonslayer RPG truly delivers.

    I was able to see additional art inside the book. I really enjoyed it. I have generally moved away from “disposable” characters…but this has a lot of appeal for me for some odd reason. I just got barrowmaze for 5e and have been enjoying it…and so started looking at his other products. May...

    Aging and Gaming

    I dunno… For us as 40s and 50s if we say we will be there we will be there. The problem is we have to have things align. Kids sports, overtime work, have to do something g with family or in laws…we have one big group and once it hits 5 people someone is not making it..

    D&D 5E (2014) Optimizing for more grit…

    I think in addition to some of that folks are suggesting is making healing kits necessary for a lot of healing. I do rant to matter light. Since the central deity in my campaign is related to a brazier image, I do alter light a bit but I really like the idea of the barrowmaze suppressing...

    D&D 5E (2014) Optimizing for more grit…

    Looking at slow natural healing and healers kit dependency. I like the idea of of being out of bandages and such and not being able to heal up without a restock. One other idea… When it’s my turn to dm, I have a few places where light is less workable as a cantrip. Evil areas like dark…I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Optimizing for more grit…

    So up front: I cut my teeth on 1e. Loved it. Liked and played 3e for a while: at home now with 5e… I just got (and love!!!) barrowmaze for 5e. I would like to increase the grit in my 5e game for a this old school dungeon. Suggestions welcome save one: I am not running a retroclone nor...

    Thought I might also let them free some prisoners that can help fight if they talk them into it…. And maybe asu say some enemies with loot

    Christmas swag!

    Major nerd alert… My brother painted me an “eye of the deep” mini, made and orc into a hobgoblin on dire wolf to lead my Worg riders and…my folks got me barrowmaze book and PDF for 5e! And some TSR logo shirts… Did my family spoil me in my nerd-dom? Yes they did!!!

    D&D 5E (2014) Help with kids game…

    So my kids are playing over Christmas break. They are likely to face the “final boss” and unravel the mystery! A spore Druid warped by zuggmtoy has been spreading a bad fungus and it’s ruining the benevolent plant people! Anyway the party of 4 is on cusp of 3rd level. I could give it to them...
