So they're doing better than the market in general. What's the deal about everybody losing their minds? GOOGLE: How much has the stock market dropped in 2022? The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has dropped nearly 33 percent so far in 2022, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost more than 20 percent...

I moved to WFRP 3rd edition. 4e is also out now, but we keep going back to 3e WFRP (which you cannot get anywhere anymore). I'd also like to push to The One Ring (because middle earth is fun and trendy), but I kinda dislike the system's combat mechanism. Other non-fantasy rugs that are good...

Someone on Lordgosumbas hundreds of interviews mentioned the random encounter tables as a good reference as well. One weird thing: the quantity of 'cavemen' as an encounter entry. Primitives arent just humans afterall. Greyhawk has grurachs', primitive galflungs and dwarves as well. Gnomes...

I think anytime dnd players can get beyond LotR is good.

Where the Evil Dwells audiobook by C.e. Simak. Tons of D&D inspiration.

Dont wait so long and just use the 1e deities n demigods. Lolth only has 66hps afterall. Before that 66hps gets anyone's undies on a bunch let's not forget the stupidly obscene power creep in DnD over the years that just makes for endlessly boring ass combats above 10th level (even that far?).

Put me in the camp that desires less utility magic at least. Never liked that magic was a replacement for skills..or otherwise problem solving. I guess I like new non-spellcaster classes too - even if they're redundant to existing ones. Guess that's why WFRP seems to have more appeal on...

I have the Smallville (Superman) rpg book. I havent played it but always draw ideas from it. It reminds me to set up character and scene interactions over senseless monsters (most times).

I have to admit, I have read the following and they color my D&D game style to be much more pulpy and action-hero based than plodding backgrounds. Poul Anderson (conan pastiche) Brackett, Leigh (Empire Strikes Back) de Camp, L. Sprague (conan and short stories) Howard, R. E.: “Conan” series...

The original 1979 AD&D theme, Greyhawk, and the game rules are based on a wide variety of fantasy novels (as well as miniatures wargaming, history, etc.) 1. How many books/authors have you read from the 1979 bibliography? 2. Do you feel you see D&D differently than people who have not read...

I had looked at the chart wrong. So nearly 40/60--and we dont really know who bought both. Ben Riggs sales data is something that will probably influence how we look at next edition as well. Do we know if 5e was designed with sales data in mind or was it just those people that bothered to give...

After 40 years and one new edition piled on the next, I'm really sick of new 300+ page rulebooks just so I can roleplay__ and swing a sword _sometimes to solve problems. Nothing is new. When did dnd turn into a button-munching videogame of illusory options--all just to accomplish the same...

This is my issue. I have a dedicated game room or I can go to a game store where they charge THE DM_ to run in their store. Really? You charge the DM? Honestly the sole reason I play at game stores is to troll for potential players for replacement or new game groups that I'll run for at my...

I've had a dedicated game room in my basement for a couple decades, but I'm really starting to prefer playing at the game stores in my area. Where do you game? jh

Gads I hate 600 page rulebooks. Split it into an epic level crap book that 20% of the players will ever use, a DMG+World Book (if not D*D), and a MM. The direction that most of the games I'm playing now, ALIENS, (Blade runner), Vaesen, Flames of Freedom, and WFRP still have the giant...

If any of you have played murder mystery dinner games, you will see that there are secrets given and gained in each round. This works for a while...

There is a great presentation on why Blackmoor is on the Castles & Crusades 1971 club map by Gygax (which became Greyhawk).

My event this year is: CITADEL BY THE SEA A sage meddling in old orcish ruins has unleashed a curse on the town of Awad. Can your party end the curse? A 5e D&D Adventure with pre-generated characters. LINK TO GAME: Citadel by the Sea (D&D 5e - Greyhawk)...
