I've met people who can't visualize when they are reading. They only see the words, never the images in their head.

Yes mostly tweaks and better components. There are two expansions. Replicators and Close Encounters. I have not played the basic game often enough to justify buying them.. for now. ;)

At the beginning of the 80s there were no gaming stores as we have them today. You either went to the toy store or the hobby store to buy D&D. As long as we bought miniature rockets or plastic model cars my friends and I were valued customers. When we switched to D&D we weren't so much anymore...

Miniature wargaming is also what keeps FLGS afloat. They need the space to play tournaments and casual events.

That is correct. I was a bit disappointed when I read it this winter. With a name like Warmachine I was expecting something like a cardboard counter & hex representation of a D&D battle. Which is the cheapest and best way to do a mass battle. Alternatively, at $8US for the PDF Songs of Blades...

I'm 55, don't consider myself a grognard despite me age and not nostalgic of the Old School time at all. I'm glad there is internet so I can keep playing D&D online with my group despite Covid-19. I'm glad there are PDF so I can buy and store games for a fraction of the price. I'm glad I can...

I prefer something along the lines of what Bare Bones Fantasy proposes. It is inspired by Pendragon if I'm not mistaken. It uses psychological behaviour to define characters instead of abstract concepts.

I read it not long ago. As someone who played a lot of mass battle war-games it feels outdated and outclassed. If I was to do a massive battle with miniatures today, I would use SAGA Age of Magic by Tomahawk Studio as the frame. It has characters, creatures, war engines and spell casters. It's...

Thank you for this. Very informative.

Very good advice. My NPCs have agendas and don't wait to push them forward. Sometimes it interferes with the PCs plans. Sometimes PCs interfere with a NPCs plan voluntarily or without even know it. Either way non static conflict is good for the believability of a setting. It's something I...

While it is true that a Greyhawk supplement was published for OD&D it contains no details of the world except two short mentions. It was mostly new spells and additional rules. Greyhawk became a proper published setting (with map and details) only during the early days of AD&D 1e. Blackmoor was...

They use the same holographic tech. It is more refined. The KS video shows 8 layers. Which is impressive compared to the 2-3 layers I remember.

We used to have 3D cards like that in the 70s-80s. The image changed when you changed the angle. I have the regular d&d spell cards. No need for duplicate despite the cool factor.

During the day the PCs negotiated an alliance with the son of a rival Duke by proving a third side is in cahoots with demons. They hope to attack the demon worshipping baron from two fronts in the Spring. At night, a Cambion, in the guise of the Duke's son, charmed the leader of the party. A...

Thanks. Mostly inspired by Mists of Avalon (Marion Zimmer Bradley). Decided the Perilous Lands were at a cross roads in terms of religious beliefs. One foot in the past and one foot in monotheism. Creates even more tension.

I really don't want WoTC to try to make a «toolbox system» out of D&D5e. It was not build for that. Look at other systems, like Fantasy AGE, if that is what you want. It was designed for that in mind. Where to from now for D&D5e? They should just keep doing what they are doing. I'm not...

Rainy day. I've been busy. Hope you like it. Chapter 3 : Day One https://marccsolottrp.blogspot.com/2020/05/solo-hex-crawl-quest-perilous-lands-day.html

I always ignored Racial Limitations since 1980.

So this a thread, about another thread that was about the first thread. :p

I'm really impressed by Perilous Lands. Great book. If Jackals and Dark Places are as good I'll add them to my collection.
