2nd Campaign Started: All Family

I stopped playing D&D around 2008 when I got married the first time (prior to that I'd been playing more or less continuously since 1993). My now ex-wife didn't play and my attention was understandably more focused on her. A few years later I stated playing Pathfinder in the local league, and...

I picked "I'm not playing D&D, any edition," but I don't feel that answer is 100% accurate. I began playing in the 2e era, around 1993. I discovered a bit later that what I was playing was actually a fusion of 1e and 2e; I had no idea there was a difference for a long time. Around 1998 I...

Placeholder; few players showed up.

Once upon a time, the designers were apparently very alarmed about the idea of gnome paladins. The following is from the 2nd Edition Dungeon Master Guide, Revised, page 22. At the time, if it isn't obvious, gnomes were not allowed to be paladins RAW.:

Yeah, I was thinking that too. It's interesting what they included vs. didn't.

This factor, IMO, is the single best development of "New School" playing.

Barrier Peaks are there too, in case anyone wants to make an Expedition to them.

Sure. You do you. I'm not a fan of the modern aspect of the setting. I like weird fiction, I like sci-fi, and I incorporate both into my games. But for whatever reason I'm not into the XCC setting. NBD; there's enough stuff I love that this book will likely see more use at my table than the...

I'm not a huge fan of XCC as a setting/concept, TBH; it's just not my thing. But I backed the Kickstarter and the PDF looks good. I specifically love the new classes. Though I do find it odd how the sidebar on "Gods of Olympus" uses the Roman names for all the deities. I also enjoy the bits on...

I came into D&D with 2e in 1993. I played a hybrid of 2e and 1e, then jumped on with 3e and 3.5, intermixed with classic World of Darkness games, Shadowrun, and others. I jumped on 5e with the Next playtest and played it for several years. But these days I run DCC at my FLGS, and I truly...

I run Dungeon Crawl Classics at my FLGS, and I have three regular players. All four of us are mid-40s and grew up playing TSR era D&D, as one might expect. All of us except my spouse, who hadn't played a TTRPG in something like 10 years, have been active gamers throughout that period. And all...

New guy fits right in

"Wait! That was a KOBOLD?"

Posted my comment in the wrong thread.

Smashing success (after too long)

I started playing D&D in high school with 2nd Edition in 1993. Played intermittently after graduation until 2008 or so; 4e wasn't really my jam and I had other stuff going on. I played Pathfinder at a local Pathfinder Society game here and there in the meantime. I picked up D&D again with 5th...

That's what I did back in the day; once I had 7 players I split the game into two groups, and then three (there was some overlap between them, player-wise). But I've run modules that said they were designed for 6-8 PCs with groups as small as 3 with no trouble. I guess a lot just depends on...
