    D&D General 50 years, 50 publications - results

    Huh. Dungeoneers * Wilderness Survival Guide were both '86. OA was '85. I would have quoted them as the origin of skill checks. I Learned Something Today(tm). And since youu're so gung ho on them, and since I still have NO IDEA what book you're referencing, could you supply the titles to the FR...

    D&D General 50 years, 50 publications - results

    Whoo boy. No. Introduced to D&D as a player in 81 with no rulebook access. Picked up the 1e DMG and PHB immediately after that with NO other experience. Had absolutely no experience with OD&D or B/X prior. And had no trouble reading either publication cover to cover or understanding how to use...

    DM Tools for Mapping

    Actually, if I'm building a whole globe, I actually prefer using Fractal Terrains, and then exporting the appropriate regions for the detailed shots. FT generates worlds quickly, and its tweaks are easy to understand, so I can just step through iterations until I find one I like. And FT...

    DM Tools for Mapping

    Also have it. And Campaign Cartographer, and a few others. I don't generally create a full random map. I certainly don't for anything the player characters will directly interact with. IMO, it leads to completely nonsense maps - like the one in B1. I find that randomization is great however...

    D&D General Greyhawk: Snarf's Guide to Ready-Made Campaign Themes!

    WRT to "Muscular Neutrality", this is one of those themes that can/might benefit from a few rounds of "why-ing". It's something I occasionally do to themes I dislike to see if I can come up with an underlying premise that gives me a better hook to explore. As an example: Why is muscular...

    Eric Noah's 3rd Edition Website

    Yep. Started back when Eric was still running things. I remember when the site was sold (?) To Morrus. Even was a paid subscriber for a little bit. Im still glad to see it running strong.

    Tips to Improve Discord Experience?

    My group and I have been using it for years. I've found the basic functionality covers all my needs - I run a few voice channels (game. Gm private, player private) and a few text channels and it's mostly fire and forget at that point. Except for the voice and video settings, as Discord has a...

    D&D General 50 years, 50 publications - results

    Re the S-series modules: S1 - Tomb of Horror. Reaction: I wanna live! No! Observation: It also has a number of plot-holes and mistakes in the original lay-out. And it isn't even close to be being a fair-but-deadly dungeon. It also isn't all that campaign-play friendly. S2 - White Plume...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2e Remastered for the 5e players (+)

    So I really want to emphasize how difficult it can be to break 5e players (especially casual ones) to realize how important using that 3rd action for something other than an attack is. When we started the current PF2e game, after finishing our 7+ year 5e campaign, I told my players "You get...

    Tales of the Valiant vs. 5e: How different?

    I played in a session at GenCon. It felt exactly like 5e.

    Voidrunner VRC Article Poll

    Tertiary System: Expanded Counter-Hacking Rules. Hmmm.... checking GPG article guidelines, assuming the VRC articles will use the same.
