Does anyone still play Basic D&D? Red Box/Expert etc. ive introduced some friends to 5e and showed them the AD&D PHB. Their reaction was, how the hell did this game last so long? Then I showed them the basic set players manual and they were so impressed with the walkthrough adventure (Bargle...

(Whispers) I really like the Ranger as it is. Beastmaster, too.

I mean, forest Gnomes would be magical (Speak with small animals, Minor Illusion), but they are perhaps a bastardised race, borne of historical interbreeding between Gnomes and, I dunno, elves with a midget fetish. Or just have one sort of gnome only and bin forest Gnomes. Could work?

How about: clockwork is tiny. Only Gnomes have developed the tech to manufacture magnifying glass. Why would ‘normal’ people bother to faff about like that when they have access to Enlarge/Reduce? Or any other number of magical effects (especially with Simulacrum now)? Perhaps Gnomes are...

Dark Sun by Pinter MAXRAT: The sun’s nice today. HOGPOP: Yes. Nice. MAXRAT: It’s nice. — Pause for 5 minutes. We hear Hogpop rummaging around in the pockets of the bleeding goblins. An occasional chink as a coin found. MAXRAT: Hot. HOGPOP: Yes. Hot. — Pause MAXRAT: Do you like it? — Pause...

I played for a while in a group where one player had a Drow Ranger dual wielder who, according to his back story, was both secretly the true heir to all of the Elves AND related (illegitimately) to some guy with a funny name and a bunch of apostrophes. Can’t recall it now for the life of me.

Have you seen the film, Troy? Massacring of the Greek texts aside, it seems an awesome demonstration of how Spear fighting might work. To my eyes, anyway, the Spear is not a finesse weapon. It’s a 5’ long pointy stick. To be agile with it is one thing (spinny jumpy stuff), but that’s basically...

Help, please: 1. RAV ni ka 2. Rav KNEE ka 3. Rav NEET sa 4. Rav NEETCH ah 5. Other Thanks

I actually do this already, but the Druid has to empty their spell slots and spend at least a full day in that terrain (so, no overnighting at the inn), and the spells only come after a Long Rest.

I know zero about m:tg and therefore just as much about Ravnica. But, put yourself in the shoes of Wizards. Any classic setting they produce will result in people who wanted a different one being upset, and probably those that wanted the one they put out being upset because it’s not exactly the...

Dwarves and Gnomes and Halflings should scurry ‘Cause i’ll cook them up into curry ‘Cause i’ll cook them up into curry with the dwarf on top! Stab that Wizard before he can mutter Arcane words that will make us all suffer; Next in line is the cleric who can heal them and make them all pop up So...

My first encounter with D&D was reading The Name of the Game in White Dwarf 52. This image has stuck with me as quintessentially what D&D is about - what’s behind the door...?
