The obvious solution: The players should spare the succubus, and teach her to channel her demonic fury towards a new goal… Brutally murdering everyone who torments the region through flagrant disregard of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Run-on sentence abusers, of course, get even...

I’ll believe D&D is mainstream when second- and third-tier celebrities start playing the game, in an attempt to boost their visibility. pause Oh, dear Lord…

Lots of salient points about the lack of high-profile fantasy stories being made for film. Another factor is the rise of streaming services, and the need to provide a steady diet of new content for those services. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Witcher, and the upcoming GoT and LOTR...

You forgot “Proficiently with one gaming set (polyhedral dice)”

And here I thought we already HAD a Rock-‘em-Sock-em Robots movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433035/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

I too learned a lot of new words from reading the AD&D core rule books. But in fairness, most of those words were just the names of different kinds of polearms.

This lines up pretty well with my experience. I’m playing a Cleric in a game that’s now at level 5/6. Most of the other characters are reasonably well-optimized and have magic weapons. IME, Bless isn’t all that useful, or game-breaking, when you’re already adding a +3 proficiency bonus, +4/5...

All weapons do 1d6 damage Weapon vs. armor type modifiers Comeliness stat THAC0

Hot Take: If you want more people in your area to check out older editions, try to get your local library/school board to ban them…

Taking this one step further… The core rules are divided up into 4-5 booklets, and the booklets are packaged inside specifically-marked boxes of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs (or the Saturday-morning breakfast cereal of your choice.) There’s your “new format.”

I think this is the best thing I’ve seen in this entire thread. 1. It is delightfully ridiculous that, RAW, a thrown Goblin is not actually “Thrown,” 2. I love that there’s an important mechanical distinction between a goblin that you pick up and chuck and somebody, vs. a goblin that you pick...

There’s a Q&A after the game. It’s one of the first questions he answers. Then he gives basically a shorter version of the same answer a few questions later. ETA: The first iteration comes at about 3:14:30.

Like teitan said above, AD&D allowed more character creation options, so we instinctively concluded those rules were better and used those. If someone had wanted to be B/X Elf, we would have used F/MU multi-classing rules. A couple of us had copies of Holmes Basic (I know I did), but “all...

We freely mixed B/X and AD&D material. We worked out pretty quickly that the two rules systems had some differences, but they’re similar enough that we could make judgment calls where they conflict. I know that we ran some B and X modules with AD&D characters, and it worked out fine. Sometimes...

(From comicbook.com) https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/dungeons-dragons-musical-here-there-be-dragons/ The creators appear to be actual D&D players and fans. The synopsis is similar to the stage play, “She Kills Monsters.”

Confirming my oft-stated theory that Zoom meetings are a tool of the devil. Unless they meant something else…?

1981 Basic Set, followed very quickly by the Expert box set. Before too long, I also had the 1E core books.

More possibilities for those who want non-Scottish dwarves:

Sartre on First could just be an existentialist take on any RPG: You all meet in a tavern—with sparse, unremarkable furnishings. No one shows up to give you a quest, and there are no NPCs to interact with. Instead, you do 2 hours of straight RP, in which you infodump your characters’ edgy...
