    Magazines Dragon Reflections #94

    Looks like stuff that was later added to the 1e Unearthed Arcana ranger update, mostly expanding the giant class list for FF and MM II stuff. UA has provision for rangers with specialization though. From the CD: Humanoid/giant class opponents Following is an expanded list of those humanoid...

    Magazines White Dwarf Reflections #23

    Not sure what is going on with the line going down from the center one's nose, is that an indication of being inhuman? A binding to keep its mouth sealed? A mark on the cover and not something that should be part of its face?

    How did you learn to run or play Mage?

    I played in one Mage the Ascension 1e game. I learned to play from reading a friend's Mage core book without having one of my own but having played a ton of Vampire the Masquerade so I went in familiar with the d10 system basics. I made a mind oriented Order of Hermes magi who was a...

    D&D General Best D&D product of any edition (non-core book)

    The CD archive is great but some might consider it over 250 products instead of a single one. My favorite single product would be the 2e Faiths & Avatars. A great mix of flavor and crunch. It sets out information on the main FR gods with breakdowns on the gods themselves and their areas of...

    RPG Evolution: Eat, Kill, Love

    There are things that try to eat us that we eat. I have had fried gator and meatballs made from bear and wild boar sausage all of which come from animals that occasionally eat people, but they are very much a minority of general human diet.

    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    This unfortunately has the effect of undercutting the usefulness of looking things up alphabetically quickly at the table as they are normally written, so a module with an encounter with an ancient blue dragon and a blue slaad will mean you find only one of them under the B section as expected...

    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    For evaluating the organization of the physical 24 MM people who are not using a physical MM at all are not really relevant. :)

    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    Except for the different individual types of chaos exemplar Slaadi (and other members of less prominent groups) who should not. :)

    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    Right, the extra step and page flipping instead of being there at "Dragon." Sure, as long as you remember these lists of new primary descriptors or look them up again in the supplemental appendix. The metals being Brass, Bronze, Copper, Gold, Silver is a bit idiosyncratic. Remembering and...

    ToV Skill challenges from Tales of the Valiant

    I was not aware there were skill challenges in a 5e-ish book, thanks for the heads up. :) 4e skill challenges were a great concept that had description and implementation issues early on. Having them in products now after years of being able to use and improve on the 4e base should be useful.

    RPG Evolution: Eat, Kill, Love

    No, its easy to argue. :) Lizardfolk are cannibals and eat other sapient humanoids. Many consider cannibalism wrong and so would condemn this aspect of lizardfolk instead of using it as justification to go cannibal as well. Same thing for earlier edition orcs. Also most things we eat do not...

    D&D 5E (2024) Man I hate the organization of the 2024 Monster Manual

    Right, but for new DMs who first see Black Dragon reading through the MM instead of 2014 style Dragon Black entries they get no 14 style general dragon entry talking about dragons in D&D in general and chromatic versus metallic and the range of primary descriptors. So seeing Black Dragon they...

    RPG Evolution: Problems with the Staff

    The Quiver of Ehlonna/Efficient Quiver has been the key to carrying such things since 1e Unearthed Arcana, and more so in the 3e era when it was a cheap easy to buy or make magic item and I saw tons of characters with them whether for arrows and wands or staves and spears. Efficient Quiver...
