    D&D 5E (2014) Have you actually read the 5e DMG?

    OK. I Don't own that one. So thanks for the correction. FWIW- Some of the bits I was talking about in the 4E DMG were the world/campaign building chapters.

    D&D 5E (2014) Comparing two versions of the rules

    On a serious Note- Second description has a tone that is geared at speaking to players reading the book and how the DM is likely to respond. It also goes into more detail of what is going on in Edit- Exploration mode. This is a player facing description (and more interesting by far) First...

    D&D 5E (2014) Comparing two versions of the rules

    Busted. I'm actually a 4E Fan who has never played or even experienced someone else play WoW. I'm sure I just broke the D&D Internet with that statement.

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do You Play OD&D? How Was/Is It?

    Me three. I don't ALWAYS want to play in that style. But I enjoy it. Oddly enough, I hate DCC RPG Funnels, which takes it off the deep end :D

    Pathfinder 2E PF 2 Demo- Curiosity wins out

    Nope, nothing in the draft save/floppy disk over there ---> Its not a big deal. I just went over playing the demo solo, PC's vs. Monsters. Overall enjoyed it. Deadly for PC's Enjoyed the +10/-10. And that I would like to run a full session (which I had planned to do with my Son, thus the...

    Poll: What TSR RPG Should Be Revivified by Wizards?

    I don't trust them with EPT. It's not sanitary enough for them*. Jeff Dee has a new-ish Tekumel game out and there. Also The Petal Hack. EDIT-FWIW- Wizards does not have the rights to EPT. TSR gave those up in the late 1970s. EDIT2- Further FWIW- I should read the OP more carefully. Duh...

    Pathfinder 2E PF 2 Demo- Curiosity wins out

    His comment after looking over the PDF of the pre-gens and the rules summary page I sent him and his buddy: "Dad, please don't assign me homework at break" He cracked me up. I get it. Totally not interested- too crunchy. Will have to figure something else out to get in some PF2 experience.

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do You Play OD&D? How Was/Is It?

    I'm not arguing that you want to go up in levels. Of course you do. But it's not guaranteed or promised. In fact, Survival is touched upon all over the place. It's a goal, not an expectation. Character deaths are common. I'm NOT saying you have to love the game RAW, but it's not EASY in the...

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do You Play OD&D? How Was/Is It?

    This is your false expectation right here. You are not promised or guaranteed any of that. If I read a chess rulebook that shows me strategy and moves to win, is that a promise or guarantee? Nope, it takes skill, perseverance and some luck.

    D&D 5E (2014) Have you actually read the 5e DMG?

    . I agree, for someone new(er), it's a very good DMG. Not quite as good for complete new folks as the 4E DMG*, but very good nonetheless. * And if you look very carefully, they lifted some bits for the 5E DMG from the 4E DMG, verbatim

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do You Play OD&D? How Was/Is It?

    Though I understand it's not for everyone as a general comment, I completely disagree with your assessment as a general comment. While it's not my preferred style to run the games (sans houserules) I have had GREAT fun playing the original games as written with plenty of Character Death...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone else feel like the action economy and the way actions work in general in 5e both just suck?

    The Deed Die is something I yoinked from DCCRPG and used in my OD&D games. It's simple and effective. Utilizing the 5E DMGs proficiency die system (instead of the static bonus) optional rule might just be the optimal way to bring stunting to 5E (?) IME with 13th Age, we also get a fair amount...

    D&D 5E (2014) How should 5th edition introduce the remaining classic settings?

    Haven't they destroyed enough franchises already? :cry:

    The One Ring/Adventures in Middle-earth License Goes to Free League

    Can't say that the premise of the game/series floats my boat after looking at the TV show trailer, but thanks for the FYI. I'll keep an eye out for the Middle Earth news.
