    D&D 5E (2014) The "everyone at full fighting ability at 1 hp" conundrum

    D&D needs a bloodied/staggered condition. and probably number deflation to OD&D levels. Or go Arduin. HP=Con score + racial mod + small set # per level- Fighters 2HP, all others 1HP per level. or Maybe 3/2/1.

    D&D 5E (2014) What Seven Classes Would You Keep? (and why!)

    I get by fine with the classic 4. If we are playing 4e or 13A, don't even need the Cleric.

    OSR Newsworthy(?) I think so. Wee Warriors is back!

    It ate my original text. Anyhoo- 1st published D&D modules. I don't own but have looked over the (extremely rare and pricey) originals. Great looking maps and art by Brad S. (AKA Morno) of Arduin fame. The Misty Isles would a be a great tie- in with the new Seafaring section in GoS. Press...

    Bad Movies You Liked

    Took my Son when he was younger to see them in the theatre and now my little girl and wife like them too when they are on TV. Greek mythology based adventures my family can enjoy.. What's not to love?

    Bad Movies You Liked

    I liked all 3 of the Conan movies. I enjoy John Carter (despite the massive deviation from the way Carter as a character, and Barsoom as a culture is written by ERB). My biggest pet peeve is the fact that the greens of Barsoom have forward facing eyes..WTF? To put it mildly, I'm not a fan of...

    AD&D 2E What would you bring from PF2e to your 5e game?

    64 page softcover adventure books. DM book full of optional rules and tools. Mechanically- I like the new crit system- but due to bounded accuracy, not sure it would be worth a darn in 5E. 3 action economy, like A/D for 5E, is probably going to be it's mechanical claim to fame. But I don't...

    Who created this 'Revolutionary RPG Format'?

    I got an email the other day that drive thru now has the C&C PHB in the phone format. I had never heard of it either.

    OD&D Is OD&D playable RAW?

    We did. and filled in the gaps. We as DMs had sometimes wildly varying styles because of it and we as a groupenjoyed the variation , respected each other's filling in of the gaps. IMO , It was a far more creative time than now where everything is more cookie cutter and rigid. Nowadays you are...

    Cyclic Initiative, and Vancian Casting- gaming the system type mechanics.

    Interviewing Owen KC Stephens Green Ronin’s Fantasy AGE

    This is great news. I love FAGE , but I have not been impressed with the product line outside the Basic Rulebook (everything else seems halfass/half done). Looking forward to Owen taking the reins. Hope they can put out some great adventure related product that gets people playing.

    Is Pathfinder 2 Paizo's 4E?

    I'd like to see a real quickstart (self contained) or at least something like Hollow's Last Hope (which was tons of fun) But with the 2RD and the pre-gens in the free encounter they released (I have a hard time calling that thing an adventure) you can probably just purchase a pdf of the new...

    Lone Wolf (Hero Lab) Lays Off Staff

    I see they took down the PF BB software. I got tons of mileage out of that. After my desktop got destroyed in a electrical fire, I went to go reinstall on my laptop, and cannot find it. Is this part/result of their ill's?

    What's the best and worst D&D book you own from any edition?

    Are we talking strictly rulebooks? If so... OD&D- Best= Greyhawk, despite the Thief and Paladin, it really opened up the game otherwise. Worst= Blackmoor: God awful rules variants. But TotF and Steve Marsh's/Tim Kask's monster additions help it from being complete garbage. Honorable Mention...

    ToD's issues were largely forgiven because folks were having so much fun with Lost Mine :)

    Pathfinder 2 and the game Paizo should have made

    FWIW- That's just my opinion. I don't recall any verbiage like that from Jason or Paizo, other than the generalities of needing to stay pretty close to 3.5 for PF1. I do believe that PF1 would have been much different if Jason had free reign.

    OD&D What is Mystara?

    As the original Known World of the early Moldvay/Cook/Marsh era, it's a fantastic setting based on the literature that inspired the original game, while loosening up so as to not be as dark/grim as a typical S&S setting and thus better able to accommodate D&D gameplay tropes while retaining...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's to Like about Eberron?

    My top 5 things about Eberron? 1) Xen'Drik B) Xen'Drik C) Xen'Drik 5) Post WWI/Lead up to WWII feel (kinda like Phantom Menace without JarJar and Anni). E) Twists on "classic" (ie. overdone to death) D&D creatures - The Drow, Elves, Giants. G) Lack of High Level NPCs

    D&D 5E (2014) A (good) 5E adventure for Basic Rules only

    Not too much free out there that I know of. I believe FGG/Necromancer re-released The Wizards Amulet for 5E.
