  1. Man in the Funny Hat

    The road yet taken; old timers: what is your White Whale setting?

    X-Com. Also, Fallout. And a Firefly/Traveller Frankenstein.

    What's the most expensive RPG product you've bought?

    Made pretty much the same mistake. Didn't buy the super ultra extra deluxe slipcase version, but did buy the PH, MM and DMG all at once without really having much idea of the system contained therein. I skimmed over most of the PH and DMG, never really even looked in the MM, put all three on a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Races as classes

    I left race-as-class behind when I graduated from Holmes basic to 1E AD&D and shed not a tear about it. I have a negative amount of interest in seeing it return. For those who like it for whatever reason, game and be happy. But it's NOT for me as part of any version of D&D I care to play.

    D&D General So what colour are your dwarfs and elfs?

    I have no idea what the skin color of player characters is IMC because A) that's a player choice what their PC looks like, and B) it's irrelevant to how I run the game or how they play the game. For NPC's... I assume them to have a variety of skin tones either consistent with lore for a...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC's Jeremy Crawford Talks D&D Alignment Changes

    Oh no, I agree that it should be messed with, because they clearly still haven't got it right. But I feel I can just about guarantee they still don't have a solid idea what it is they actually want alignment to do, much less how to have it accomplish that - and WITHOUT everybody being able to...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC's Jeremy Crawford Talks D&D Alignment Changes

    I am amused. Only 40 years for anyone in charge of D&D to shake off being stunned into inactivity that alignment as presented in D&D rules for any version of D&D has ALWAYS sucked for one reason and another. NO EXCEPTIONS. I finally wrote out MY rules for alignment. TSR and WotC proved...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should D&D 5e have Epic Levels?

    Survey says: nope. If D&D beyond is any kind of gauge (and why wouldn't it be) then only 10% of games are even extending above 10th. HALF of the classic 20 level progression is already UNUSED. It has ALWAYS been that way. Past surveys even back into 1E/2E era place the most popular levels of...

    What's a word that means "NPC or Monster"

    The EEE's Everyone/Everything Else.

    D&D General Which order do you prefer for Ability Scores?

    I'd prefer to vote for: "It doesn't matter. At all." But if I had to choose I'll go with the order I have always been most familiar with - 1E.

    D&D 5E (2014) strong smelling books

    Using all applicable precautions my suggestion would be to put it in a space with an ozone generator.

    D&D General DM or Player Poll

    First 10 years I was playing D&D it was as a player. Then started dipping my toes in the DM waters until soon enough it was pretty much I'M ALWAYS DM and it stayed that way for 30 years. Nobody else stepped up to the plate so... if I wanted to play D&D it was only going to be if I ran the...

    D&Detox

    Actually, can't say I've ever seen this problem, but if I were running such a game I'd tell them to buy the player rules for the game in question and read them. If they agree to play non-D&D games then I fully expect them to come to grips pretty quickly with how that game differs from D&D...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Last Edition of D&D?

    Le sigh. No edition of D&D has an Expiration Date.
  15. Man in the Funny Hat

    Annual RPG and Games Budget?

    By not having money.

    D&D 5E (2014) I want all the D&D ... what will it cost?

    It is called "plasticrack" for a reason.

    Old timers?

    First joined maybe a couple months (?) after it started. Left for a while at one point, then came back.

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you let your player choose their magic items they get?

    As the DM I retain full and complete control over items that appear in my campaign. That is a distinct choice in the poll, which does not and cannot eliminate the possibility that I could still give players exactly what they ask for if I so choose (if they do indeed ask to just have specific...
