Importing armor "class" made sense when it was more of a nominal variable with a numeric representation and less of a real ordinal variable. Honestly (and I guess I already said roughly this), the closer things got to a static X-vs-Y chart, the more sense it made and there's no real reason to...

I voted Monsters/NPCs, Rules variants/additions, and Locations (not full settings). I'm done needing more character-build options. There are a grip of 3PP books filled to the brim with new races, classes, subclasses, and feats. I don't have enough playtime and characters to explore all the...

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, suggesting, or trying to say. I was positing a reason Clint_L might dislike New Age-era magic but be fine with faux-medieval magic.

Is it because relatively recent instances of IRL people believing in the supernatural feels more problematic than potentially people way back yonder* in the past believing in magic? *if one feels that the quasi-medieval setting of the fantasy genre even is a parallel to the real farther-back past.

Or they know that most people buying their material are doing it as a middle finger to the rest of the world, not because they actually want a usable game product (in which case wasting resources editing provides neither them nor their customers any benefit).

And the sonar will be terribly inefficient.

They were first included in oD&D supplement III: Eldrtich Wizardry, so they definitely predate Gamma World. I have also heard the notion that they were included as a bone thrown to the people wanting a non-Vancian system, although I'm unsure of my source on the matter. Certainly we've heard...

My wife tells me that I am very trying. {b-dum} {tsch!}

IMO: Yes, kids are just like everyone else in that an ever growing portion of their activities are dominated by screen time. That said, they absolutely still play with Legos and jump ropes and rock collections and Little Mermaid costumes and what-have-you. They simply aren't going to do so in...

After thread drift, it appears to have settled on 'what are your thoughts on using ascending AC in TSR-era A/D&D?' -- both in terms of do you find ascending AC preferable, and also in whether it is worth the change/have you done so/etc.

I think it is a decent enough game concept in theory, but the implementation was a bit all over the place, particularly across TSR-era A/D&Ds (as a reminder, it also shows up in BX, and in Gazetteer-era BECMI and RC in the skills subsystem). First and foremost, one needs to recognize what...

I would like to get the ads manageable and allow Morrus to financially benefit from me showing up without adblocker enabled. If Facebook's 'suggested for you' entries are any indication, simple male gender and 18-60 age range (and maybe D&D/RPG interest) is enough to get one slotted into the...

I would agree. Certainly once we start battling over more, less, or certainly what admixture. One person can provide very little, but that part was crucial. Records can indicate one person can be the one that hits pay dirt, but how much of the ground they excavated may be unknown. The amount...

The poll title states deal-breaker and not red flags, so I answered that question and then also the 'explain below' option. My deal breakers are: AI*, creator personal reputation**, and products for which I have no use. *At least at this point and the foreseeable future. I do not see a way to...

I wouldn't worry. The idea that LaNasa should perform a humiliating act he made his female employees do is likely beyond his comprehension.

Who do you think is doing this? FWIW, my impression of this site has been that people here are generally expressing their own personal opinions about the subject at hand unless otherwise noted. Going into threads with that assumption has kept me from making any number of unnecessary negative*...

I think that, in general, the socializing and players is the primary thing. I think that's likely true for most gamers, in general and on the forums (it's just harder to talk about the players here, since you haven't met them and explaining how that twinkle David gets in his eye when he rolls...

Note: I read through this thread and noted people for quoting. By the time I was finished, I had so many quotes that no one would read a full response to everyone. So I am going to talk in generalities. That does mean I am going to repeat a lot of what others have said. I think the question...

Note: preemptively stating that all of this is opinion. I think overall this is true. The discrepancy increases the less theoretical you are speaking and the more of the nuances of the AD&D game you add. If you pretty much had your to-hit table (or ThAC0) and the enemy had their AC, I think...

It seems relevant to the post to which they were responding.
