There are other examples, the Temeraire Napoleonic Wars with Dragons series with a British naval officer and his talking dragon as protagonists comes to mind as well as this guy from He Man. That said I really enjoy bestial dragons and have a bit of a hard time including D&D dragons (and...

I do remember elements of sexual assault, sexual weirdness, and torture that were pretty rough. Some of the torture resulting from their don't kill each others' characters internal writer policy so that the regenerating Tempus got captured and sold off to a vivsectionist for a long time. Also...

Passed TSR in longevity after WotC bought D&D, Flying Buffalo was 1975 as well (not sure whether that was before or after Chaosium) but they sold out recently as well.

My first thought on seeing that display picture was "Oh yeah, that Thieves World thing! Too bad Thieves Word stuff is not available in PDF." The Thieves World novels were a great ongoing series I got from the library that complemented my early RPG days well. I flavored a +6 defender scimitar I...

I felt they generally delivered on doing megadungeons (Rappan Athuk, Tomb of Abysthor, etc.) with wildly variable deadliness and occasional humor which felt very like the 1e hinted default of Gygax's Castle Greyhawk. Also the Tome of Horrors was great for bringing a ton of 1e monsters into 3e...

Even if you don't use gunpowder, a D&D god of fireballs is kind of conceptually neat. Obviously the rainbow Llama is the local appearance of Tiamat. Raising the question instead of what is the llama-dragon connection? I agree a potato goddess would be pretty cool.

Why cant a free action happen in the middle of another action? PH Page 267 Free Action: Free actions take almost no time or effort. You can take as many free actions as you want during your or another combatant’s turn. The DM can restrict the number of free actions in a turn. Examples...

I'd agree the playstyle was good for a bunch of us and that that the organization and clarity of 1e rules was poor, but what else was good or bad about 1e varied widely from group to group. Some hated the lack of balance, thieves sucking, the extreme vulnerability of low levels, save or die...

I've been trying to remember the name of this series for years! I haven't seen it since it ran but I have some memories of really enjoying it back then. I particularly liked this guy. Thanks.

For your daughter OSE (Old School Essentials) is a go to for more mechanically simple D&D, retrocloning B/X D&D it is like AD&D but much less mechanically fiddly. It still has classes and saving throws and vancian casting but the stat adjustments are simpler (13-15 is +1, 16-17 is +2, 18 is +3)...

Its been more than a decade I think since I played but I liked Apocalypse for adding in big global rule shifts. When I would play with my son and my brother and my nieces we would sometimes each take a deck of our own for drawing from so each person had their own theme going with occasional...
