    D&D 5E (2014) What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

    I could really do WITHOUT 9 levels of spells cluttering up the phb. Id much rather have about 5 more non-spellcaster classes as well. In order to do that,I believe we'd have to get away from hps being the only 'effective' form of damage in conflicts.

    Top Three RPGs to Run at a FLGS?

    Ive run a lot of convention and store games over 40 years. Getting games going requires the same as a regular group: persistence and a couple always -show-up players. If your city size is decent, then tap the Warhammer people as well. That may include the rpg then. Creating community takes...

    RPG Evolution - True Tales from Stranger Things: Satanism, Strategy & Clubs

    Stranger things dodged the elephant in the room: the church I didn't care to relive that portion of that era so I wasn't disappointed.

    OD&D How are your original dice holding up?

    I think the plus sign ones came with the MERP red boxes set. I had a white d20 and a gray one.

    D&D General [Poll] Metagame justifications for in-character behavior

    We have a group rule: You're NEVER allowed to be a dick at my table -- even if it's what your character would 'supposedly' do. Every gamer kid goes through that decision of whether or not to steal from other characters..or they get bored or annoyed and attack another player character. THEN YOU...

    D&D General One Piece of Art II (Monsters)- What D&D Art Inspired You to Love a Monster?

    The Fiend Folio and TSR-UK artwork was LEVELS more scary than any other D&D art. You had people getting eviscerated in really scary dungeons with actually-scary monsters. I love that art!

    OD&D How are your original dice holding up?

    I love those green dice. I think my first sets I bought after the originals were a clear and a green set from Koplow (Nice Dice). They are gorgeous and easy to read (the green ones at least). I gave my clear set to some kid at a game convention as a gift (I couldn't read them very well anyway).

    OD&D How are your original dice holding up?

    I also had these, but the blue were a navy blue. These also didn't age well. Like the orange dice (example photo above), they seem to peel on their ends as they wear.

    OD&D How are your original dice holding up?

    My first two sets: Moldvay Basic and Moldvay Expert box each had sets of dice. The Basic set dice were the crappy gray ones (white crayon). My guess is by the time I got my own D&D boxed set they were down to the dregs of dice. They seemed to wear well. My Expert set had the ORANGE dice...

    D&D 5E (2014) What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

    Another thing I don't like about 5e: My beef with the DMG not having a character replacement standard that isn't a DM-dick-move. In 1974, you got punished for losing a character. You started over. Heaven forbid you were a good, loyal, player who kept notes and stayed in character--ha ha! You...

    D&D General "I have Experienced What I'd Call 'DM Burnout'" (a poll)

    Sure. It has caused me to grow afterwards (and usually involves kicking someone out of the group). Since then, our groups are formed ONLY from players who also agree to DM/GM at least one session of an rpg per year. This requirement has gotten rid of 97.6% of flakes, leeches, zoom-dweebies...

    D&D General One Piece of Art II (Monsters)- What D&D Art Inspired You to Love a Monster?

    Castle amber's colossus. Not only did I experience that during my formative D&D-kid years of the 1980s, it went to show the raw power of PLOT in a campaign. The players see it and say, "holy naughty word I hope we don't have to fight that." Then when you play the adventure and realize that there is a...

    AD&D 1E Common House Rules for AD&D?

    I always liked weapon vs ac and our character generators (written in Basic) accounted for them instantly. I recall my favorite weapon was morning star because it was outstanding to all ACs. 2d4 damage was decent too. Not as good vs larger though.

    D&D General One Piece of Art- What D&D Art Inspired You to Love a Class?

    Blue dragonscale armor on Dragona of Winter (Dragonlance). I've always loved playing fighters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragons_of_Winter_Night#/media/File%3ADragons_of_Winter_Night_cover.jpg
