It doesn't really matter if you are evil and know you are (in D&D anyway). You still think you are right (not "good"). Good is simply wrong in the opinion of the evilly aligned. We are trained irl to think good is the only right way. Its why people in history always think they were right / the...

So, would it function with Wine for Linux / Mac OSX? I haven't run Linux in years, but that would have been the solution back in the day. edit Both TTS and TTP are on Steam. I'd check there for compatibility issues with Linux / Mac users.

I try not to let the disconnected nature of online "conversations" get to me too much. I hope I haven't made your day worse. Have a good one.

Yes, I can. Parallels with what exactly? The real world I assume? I think your losing me here if not, but then I haven't read every post in this thread. Middle Earth? I didn't catch Tolkien in this thread, but I guess it's in here and I am familiar with the racist tropes people find in it. I...

No, not black and white. Shades of gray. Some darker than others. If you are comparing the motives of the Nazis to the Democratic Party in the U.S. I think its pretty obvious. Sure, there's bigotry and intolerance among Democrats, but they're not holding a Holocaust. And yes, I'm very familiar...

My game is an antique in some ways. My campaign started in the Law - Neutral - Chaos days. The High Church of Law (named in my high school days 1974-76) in my game includes LG, LN, and LE orders and people. and crusades against other religions were a thing in the old days. Fewer crusades these...

"In the name of good" does not mean they were good. The nice thing about D&D (at least in my game) is that evil goes by the name of "evil" :D

Recognizing evil courtesy of Nazi Germany doesn't mean your letting any one else (including your own bunch) off the hook for their actions.

I think you spot me a few years (I'm 61) but yeah, my dads experience in World War II and my early interest in history (early focus on World War II) left me with the firm belief that evil exists.

Thanks. That sounds interesting.

We always used miniatures. We started out playing miniatures and board war games before D&D. Then D&D dropped in 1974 and we were addicted. Late summer of '74. I'm surprised I graduated from high school looking back :) Chainmail was our medieval miniature ruleset of choice. My D&D campaign world...

Thanks, I'll take a look at them. Edit: Nice list btw :)

Mine hasn't, although I've looked at it and this may push us to it. On the other hand, I'm 61 and I'm not the oldest in my crew. I'm tech savvy enough (all my classes have been moved online thanks to Covid 19). I just prefer face to face. Some of my players have scattered though and it would be...

I did pretty much the same thing. I varied the experience by how dangerous the area was for certain professions though (frontiers made for higher level Soldiers than peaceful areas for example). I've used NPC classes since AD&D as well. Dragon always had boatloads of them, although they tended...

I limited multi-classing. Yes, I said the "L" word. I needed it to make sense in the game world going from 2E to 3/3.5E. I also had prerequisites to take a level in a class. You needed specific skills or feats in place to enter a class. There was more multiclassing, (than in 2E) but players...

It may not be a review, but you inspired me to buy the game :) Thanks.

I always liked the cover of this one. Only one Petal Throne article, and it could have used more given the jungle theme. The Adventurer for EPT by Glenn Rahman was interesting. It was a mix of the three core EPT classes. His explanation of it (a footloose socially independent rugged adventurer)...

I'm thinking "Alchemy, Crafting and Enchanting" at the $50 level (hardback and PDF). Altered Carbon is interesting but I'm not up for another new system... if I used the setting I'd go with Traveller rules... Thanks for the round up. Useful series!

Yes, it's been taken down. Someone guessed the URL and popped it early. They took it down until it's ready for review / use. Irritating, but I can wait... sigh

It's available on Amazon ($750 like new) and the Dragons Trove ($600 near mint). Only $600-750... well, compared to $3,000 I guess it's "only".
