    Do We Really Need Half-Elves and Half-Orcs?

    I ran a humanocentric game for years in 1E, my campaign world has been running and evolving for quite some time now... I don't have half-orcs (I don't orcs at all, just several varieties of goblins) but I do have the "Khazan" a sorcerously-created race of terror troops similar to Saruman's...

    。Nonhuman fantasy civilizations question

    Back in the 1e days there were the "<race> Point of View" articles that are probably worth tracking down. That said, you could probably reskin the Dragon-Blooded from Exalted as Aaismar and the Abyssals as Tieflings if you wanted, that would give you some rich lore to draw on. Similarly, it can...

    Having Trouble As A DM

    My solution for this is generally to gather up a whole bunch of older (in your case) pirate movies and steal shamelessly. I'll also watch more recent things as well, but old B&W films are short and you pop them down like Tic-Tacs and many players are often less likely to have seen them. D.

    Spellbooks, Spells, and the Number of Pages

    I hadn't realized that 5E didn't have rules for this, but I'm surprised. I've been using the 1 page per level of the spell and it's worked out fine. D.

    What are you reading? November 2018 edition

    Agreed. Of course, I was also one of those kids devouring the Appendices in Return of the King - so we might be outliers... Rereading Tolkien reminds me of the original flavor of much of my campaign world, it's been somewhat lost over the years, but I can still see hints of it when I look. D.

    What are you reading? November 2018 edition

    I haven't read much Tolkien lately, so I picked up Children of Hurin and read that kind of in the middle of Fellowship, and I want to read Fall of Gondolin somewhere during Towers. D.

    What are you reading? November 2018 edition

    I'm re-reading The Two Towers by Tolkien since it's been a few years since I've read the whole trilogy, front to back. D.

    Dragon Reflections #16 – Gygax Fights Back!

    Yeah, I've run CP2020 for years, and it's a pretty simple system. I'm honestly trying to remember what tables you'd be rolling on for combat other than the "Hollywood Death Tables" and pulling a blank..? D.

    [Poll] Vote For The Top 10 Horror RPGs!

    Fundamentally, Call of Cthulhu is my favorite because it is so versatile as an engine as well as a era's of play, etc. That said, my physical copy of the new edition of Kult just arrived over the weekend and I'm really looking forward to playing it as well. D.
