Ahh.. sounds like "Method V" from Unearthed Arcana (1e). Where the number of dice per stat (Str, Int, Wis, Dex, Con, Cha, Com) was based on your class that you choose first (ex: Fighters have, in order, 9, 3, 5, 7, 8, 6, 4). You still obviously only kept the best three, and this method was only...

Hiya! For me? Only three? Tough... I went with Elmore, Otis and..."Other". My "other" is Valarie Valusek. I absolutely LOVE everything she does/did! 🤩 .. If I could add some 'hangers-on'...Easley, Dee, Parkinson and Willingham. In fact, when I was getting into drawing my PC's, my best friend...

Hiya! Then again there are superior players who take the rolls fate has given them and create some of the most fun and memorable characters to ever grace my game. Barkus Liebentaub, Mort (my PC, actually; I wasn't DM), Thistetop the Magic-User, Olga "Buttocks" Bluntaxe, Willford The Wizard...

Hiya! AAA means "The very tippy-top of quality and fun", although, yeah, 'big budget' is usually associated with it. But if there is one thing that creating vid games has drilled into my head...repeatedly and without mercy...is that More Money != Mo'Bettah. I mean, look at a few games released...

Hiya! Well, honestly, Rodger from the Lethal Weapon movie series sums up my stance on this, a stance that I've basically had since the end of 2e: "I'm getting too old for this [s...]" D&D could go completely boobs skyward and it might get a "Oh? That's too bad...huh." out of me. I have FAAAR...

Hiya! "Depends on the edition". :) BX/BECMI: No real 'age' categories...just sizes; Small, Large and Huge, but has an additional modifier of being "...found with up to 3 Hit Dice smaller or larger than the average given" (e.g., a Large Black dragon can have between 7+3 HD, to 13+3 HD, with...

Hiya! Short Rest: "About an hour or so of cat-napping, sitting around a fire waiting for the rice and beans to cook, having a drink and a pipe, cleaning of weapons/armour, feeding the horses, etc". Basically, just causal, slow, non-exerting, non-mentally demanding tasks. For about an hour. (My...

Hiay! I haven't run the Orange cover version, but I have run the original B1 (In Search of the Unknown). To make a long story short...I just picked a couple of rooms I found interesting and had an idea for and put a monster/NPC in it. For all the rest? Pretty much random rolls + on-the-fly...

Hiya! No. No you can't. That's totally impossible! Next you're going to tell me you can just "use your imagination all willy-nilly!". Crazy talk! CRAZY TALK I TELL YOU! ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! Picked "Every Adventure" first...then thought about it. Nope...VERY close to 100%, higher than 90% but that was the closest. :) I tend towards using some old adventure I have or one I've written; typically BX/BECMI/1e/2e adventures. Then I "start them" and after that initial 5 to 10...

Hiya! Nice work! Recording needs some loving, but the overall musical feeling I got was very much in the vein of "late summer, golden-red leaves, cool morning mists and sweeping vistas of rolling hills crisscrossed with silver streams, and far away, snow capped mountains touched by the clouds"...

Hiya! Long story short... you and I have vastly different interpretations of life in general. This is good! :) It's not going to help us come to any sort of acceptance of the other's thought process or preferences, but it does help us develop our "thick skin". What you are saying annoys me to...

Hiya. Orc's are imaginary... humans are not. Someone spending 6 hour a week for a decade or four killing "savage orcs, hobgoblins, goblins and ogres"...or someone killing "black people, red people, yellow people and white people"? .. Which one do you think would feel more "racist"? .. shrug I...

Hiya! Toss up between... Denakhan the Arch-Mage (1e AD&D; Greyhawk; 20th level Magic-User; ridiculous amount of time played to get him there...worked it out once; about 3000 hours! O_O). ...or possibly... Prince Pholtius, Protector of the Faith, Chevalier/Pathfinder of the County of Sunndi...

Hiya! My reasoning for not wanting Mystar is simple...they just would NOT do it justice. For them to do Mystara to my satisfaction, they'd have to not produce a "Mystar Campaign Setting Book"; they'd have to produce at least 14 books (one for each Gazetteer). Then there is all of...

Hiya! You know why I love space and think it should be the number 1 priority for spending/effort? .. Because when you ask people about stuff like these rovers and satellites exploring Luna or Mars or whatever...their answer is almost universally "Wow! That's cool that we have an actual machine...

Hiya! A couple people have mentioned the "What if the PC fails?". It is usually obvious. In the secret door example I used, if the PC hadn't slowed down, their Passive Perception would have been too low. They just walk right on by. If the Passive had been enough, but then their roll was too...

Hiya! DM: "You travel down the 5' wide stone corridor. The walls are slick with water and slimy-moss, the floor, even worse." [secret door here with DC 14; looks at PC's Passive Perception of 12] Player: "OK, I'll keep walking, but at half rate to keep my footing" DM: [thinking that moving at...

Hiya! Long story short... .. Because I still count FOUR lights...not FIVE. I'm not going to 'go with the flow' just because it's easier for others (or me, necessarily). .. (yes, that's a 1984 reference). .. EDIT: ((snip stuff; never mind)) EDIT EDIT: ((Ooops on the lights thing... I was...

Hiya! No. OSR/Old D&D isn't racist. ^_^ Paul L. Ming
