    Why do people still play older editions of D&D? Are they superior to the current one?

    Maybe one day. I'd be open to it. But I am VERY skeptical about it being like 2e. The reason is I have tried 4 different people now who play 5e to try and convert my 2e adventures to 5e. All gave up...one said it was 'impossible'. So if it's impossible to convert an adventure, not sure how it...

    Why do people still play older editions of D&D? Are they superior to the current one?

    "Why do people still play older editions of D&D? Are they superior to the current one?" YES---but that is strictly my opinion. I bought the three core books of 5e...mainly because people said it was like 2e. I started reading 5e..it felt good, brought some nostalgia...then it veered off quickly...

    RPGNow Is Being Retired

    Very true. And it takes a lot of time and usually not appreciated on forums, social media outlets and what not. Probably more time now as some of the tools by the store will be less efficient--my main point.

    RPGNow Is Being Retired

    It's my big fear for sure...drowning in all the other stuff. Maybe having a day in the spotlight as new content, then getting rapidly swallowed. Waiting even longer to get on the 'Deal of the Day'...I got some concerns, but we shall see what happens.

    Adventures with extensive backstory

    A backstory is more appropriate for a Campaign setting rather than an adventure in my opinion. Anything longer than a half-page for backstory should be put in the back as an appendix or a 'optional read' sidebar. The backstory should have enough info to 'charge' the GM's creative process so that...

    My Game Is In Trouble :(

    Hey KenNYC- After reading your last 2 posts, it's clear to me that you feel stuck. It's an easy solution when it's not with friends but I can understand that when it's with friends, things can feel more 'complicated'. But reading your last 2 posts, I get the vibe that these 'friends' are...

    Is it rude to aim at your players obvious weak areas?

    Try to stay neutral. The barbarian is hardcore in combat.....that's ok....but balance it with situations where combat isn't the way to solve a situation or sure, a charm person spell could make things pretty dangerous. Sounds like the player is having fun...so try to keep neutral, keep things...

    My Game Is In Trouble :(

    You've given them chances and clues. Don't hold back anymore until their stupidity kills them. Sounds like they don't want to play a serious game--which can be ok and fun to do from time to time, but if you don't share that same mindset, then move on. Try to take the new guy with you...we need...
