My players really love 40k and have read many of the books. I've always been a Fantasy guy myself, so it's a chance to sit back and be a player. If it injects more roleplay and ditches the SHEER WEIGHT of other character building rulesets I'll be thrilled.

Lack of any real danger d t the After several years in other game systems I can see dnd's biggest flaw is the LACK of multiple weaknesses for characters. Not instantly heal-able forms of: Psychology/Permanent Insanity Diseases Afflictions Curses Ability Damage Saving throw proficiency Damage...

Im running Citadel by the sea (Dragon #78) at an upcoming con. Im going to run it as 5e. Seems like 1e and 5e are pretty close. Any tips on conversion I should be wary of? This adventure is for levels 1-3 abd has a lot of orcs.

I saw the announcement yesterday. The name does not convey "non-Space-Marine 40k Roleplaying", but at least its a new update to the d100 systems of the past. Thoughts? Hopes? https://cubicle7games.com/announcing-warhammer-40000-imperium-maledictum/

I love the mule on top.

Dragonmirth!

From DRAGON (that havent already been noted): 118 Hero Points rules (and other stuff from that issue) 100 city beyond the gate adventure 86 (my first purchased issue) the 3d castle Issues 1-150 All the "npc" classes that we allowed as PC classes Greyhawk campaign updates Best of the dragon mags...

Yea, we just never limited ourselves to just the few weapons. My sentence needed a period in there. Stupid phone :)

Death at negative CON Bonus spells for wizard intelligence (same as cleric) We didn't use weapon speed, length, but did oftentimes use AC modifiers by weapon. 20 Critical (double damage), 1 (drop weapon out of reach or can break the weapon to do a critical). Hero Points (From dragon #118)...

How many spells can you cast per round if casting time is less than 1 round? I noticed that Command's casting time is only 1 segment. Also, does this coordinate with Weapon Speed time? If a spell has a 1 round casting time, does that mean that the caster simply cannot move that round?

I agree with that. Starting first with the evolution of the game: a giant dungeon crawl about Zagyg isn't really of interest (except to us hardcore Greyhawkers anymore, and even then Id be hard pressed to bother to run it.) I really like the new approach of a good, long adventure campaign...

Its like pro-NFL team ownership. Its best when its simple. Ed Greenwood sold his rights to TSR for what? $5 grand. Hes been incredibly decent about it. Wotc has rights to Greyhawk, but not Gary's old stuff--Gail is holding onto that until she dies and her son (not Luke or Ernie--shes made...

During the forced world shutdown, we played A4 Slavelords dungeon with 1e (yes, naked with a dagger). We had a blast. No Im keen to run it again. During 2008-2014-ish we switched to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. It has MUCH lower hit points (wound threshold) but damage still scales up...

Great to hear. Im always nostalgic when I read these things.

There was a very interesting discussion on the Greyhawk materials that Gail Gygax is still holding hostage in the Ben Riggs interview by Jay Scott--as well as her troubling interview in Kotaku.

I just had to hire a high school dropout for a receptionist position for$22/hr..but thats Denver--one of the most expensive places to live in the states.

I just finished the book, Slaying the Dragon, by Ben Riggs. The biggest takeaway for me was clarity about how multiple game settings was a major killer for TSR. When Wizards bought TSR, they realized they needed to create fans of dnd products, rather than followers of a setting because people...

Gygax based his ideas on novels that few of us have read in this late era. Little of it is Tolkien or direct-Earth-analogue. Much of it is Lieber, P.Anderson, and Vance--who had some Earth analogues. Short elves. Non-arthurian LG paladins, etc. Roger Moores latest WoG interview w Jay Scott...

I got burned out after ALIEN. I realized I was only going to play it once.
