    I hate character sheets

    Yeah, cotton based paper will be great for absorbing pizza stains. Xp

    why not a grand mixology game?

    The players don't know what you can throw at any one time and that lack of sureity makes them shy away from it. I had an epic party of players in a game that never materialized because I let it be known that they would have to visit the city of Mhegadon from Alternity: Tangents. They wanted...

    Old Appearances in Dragon's Forum!

    At first Plane Sailing I thought you meant that the Scud vs. Alicya topic would make for a good thread here. Though I think we have moved on from Fighters vs. Cavaliers to Fighters vs. Crusaders or something like that.

    3.0 Era Polyhedron

    And when I got a Freeport adventure instead of another d20 article in my Polyhedron, I sent an e-mail of complaint. And when Castle Maure took up an entire issue, I almost didn't buy it. This is a thread in praise of the brilliant game design of Polyhedron not one to attack it. And I used...

    3.0 Era Polyhedron

    You're more than welcome. I have three of them on my desk right now, flipping through them. Now if I could only focus and write something instead of filling my harddrive with half-done games.

    3.0 Era Polyhedron

    I know that many D&Donliers hated the combined Poly/Dung issues, but in my lifespan as a gamer I may have used three Dungeon adventures (if that) but the d20 rules variants in those combined issues saw constant use at the game table and when I am tinkering with the d20 rules (even HiJinx and...

    What was the reason for the Demon/Devil split?

    In Elric Demons were simply lifeforms from one of the other of the Million Spheres. The Abyss comes from Dante as it was part of Hell. http://travizzt.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/circles.jpg

    What was the reason for the Demon/Devil split?

    I don't know how much influence M.A.R. Barker had on Gygax (who never really quite got EPT), but I do know he influenced Arneson, so maybe a bit of his cosmology carried over. In EPT Barker had Demons of Stability and Demons of Change. Though he didn't like the alignment system Stability can...

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    Well, they did release the Silver Anniversary set with a reproduction of the Holmes rulebook in 1999. So they are releasing the original corebooks in 2012. So I guess these last 13 years have been 1977 all over again. To bad I wasn't yet in Kindergarten then or I would appreciate it more...

    It won't mean anything without home playtesting

    Playtesting through DDXP is all and good, but most people aren't going to be using D&D playing Wizard's adventures in a public venue. People must be allowed to home test the rules, where they take the rules home to their friends (and, of course, have them sign an NDA), write their own...

    D&D 5E (2014) Your 5E

    I need to organize my thoughts for the variant I am writing for myself. 1. Introduction 2. System (roll d20, roll high) 3. Ability Scores 4. Action Points (awarded per level, modifying die rolls, use to get extra actions, use to reuse expended class features/powers, use for healing surges...
