When a player dies

Are you going to just fill the older D&D forum with every single dmsguild item? Is it really worth the cash posts thousands of your affiliate links? Its pretty obnoxious bro.

I see, thats cool

I mean massive different between the 80s and now is that people back then played with their friends or friends of friends. Now people are playing with random strangers, and that is a crapshoot, but add on top that you want to play over the internet? Good luck having anything close to our...

As in D&D Fantasy fiction. I'm not a writer so I don't know much about writing. But I know beyond Harry Potter, GoT, LOTR and a dozen more, its incredibly hard to find fantasy books I can read as an older adult. I tried to read Forgotten Realms books (I loved Drizzt 30 years ago), but as much...

Another thing that changed, at least for me, today people want to play their character with a personality and background. Sometimes emulating an actor or at least putting on an accent and playing to a certain predefined alignment or world view. Back in 1e days all my friends just played their...

Oh I never heard of those, so its a trend, thats cool. I miss my Diablo days, that was amazing dungeon delving.

Brandon rocks, love his youtube channel teaching you to write. When I started searching fantasy to read a few years ago him and Brian McClellan (Powder Mage), Mark Lawrence (Price of Thorns) were stand outs for me. Its so hard to find fantasy that I can read now that I'm older. No idea why its...

Iron Man. Not because of the comic hero but because I watched RDJ turn his life around, and it inspired me to turn mine around too.

I thought it was going to be them playing Elden Ring, didn't realize they threw together a D&D home brew setting for it, I suppose that is how you expand your audience.

I don't really see that to be the case. When we played 1e we read the rules, grabbed a module, bastaradized it, or wrote our own and played it as we saw fit. It was often dungeons, and often had a lot of combat but that was because that part was easy and fun to put together. I would write...

I think the word "flavor" is the most of overused word since 2e :-) If the dragon is hitting you 3 squares away making it a claw doesn't make sense without a lot of justification (dragon saw you leaving, pounced over to your position, hit you with one claw, then returned to its original...

I think in 1e people picked their characters because they wanted to play a particular class e.g. a thief or a healer or a warrior. They didn't care that a class was less combat effective than another. They didn't care that they didn't have spells. Now they want every class to be balanced...

I never played 4e so that is quite interesting evolution. While I like the trigger, the fact that it is only using the tail under that scenario seems off.

I was reading my old monster manual 1e and looking at the dragons I was confused as to where the damage was for the breath weapon. Then I found it, the damage is supposed to be equal to the dragons current hit points. WOW I do not remember that at all, and I feel like I should have. But I...
