Went shopping for cars instead 😓

New Cure album just dropped. No need for anything else rn.

Step-daughter couldn't make it. (so no game, since she and her fiancé represent 50% of the PCs)

Exactly! Doing so has never been a problem.

Born in '78, started playing D&D with 2nd Edition in 1994 when some friends at school asked if I wanted to play. This was a residential high school, so we all lived together in the same building, and we played D&D all the freakin' time - I'm talking I used to run 2 campaigns, each meeting once...

My username comes from an NPC I created for an Al-Qadim campaign the better part of 30 years ago; it was an illithid from the tunnels in the al-Suqut Mountains outside the city of Ajayib. My avatar is Karl Waller's most excellent drawing of an urban ogre, which to me has always been the...

I had exactly the same thought.

Yes. As described in the foreword to the HackMaster "4e" Players Handbook, IIRC.

ALQ4 - Secrets of the Lamp. A treasure trove of lore on genies and the Inner Planes, especially the Plane of Fire.

The Al-Qadim setting back in 2nd Edition had a bunch of gods that people worshipped, but those gods were never presented as big monster statblocks, given alignments, or otherwise tied to the typical tropes of D&D settings. Much like Eberron, they were real for their followers but presented in...

These days I run Dungeon Crawl Classics pretty much exclusively, and a big part of what I like about the game is the amazingly weird adventure modules. I also run one weekly game and one semiweekly game, with a third weekly game in development, so my prep time is at a premium, and most of the...

But it's on Backerkit. GG's policy is to use Kickstarter to crowdfund new products and Backerkit to crowdfund reprints. So I don't know for sure what's going to be in here, but the fact that it's on Backerkit strongly suggests it's reprints of the previously published modules, maybe with...

Got to play again, finally.

Makes sense to me. I, too, have had to bribe people to play clerics.

2nd level character, +3 sword(?!)

I played in an Adventurer's League game years ago that had an obvious dice cheat - a fellow who was maybe in his mid-50s. The guy sat at the far end of the table from the DM, picked up his die very quickly after each roll, and to hear him tell never rolled below a 13 or 14 on his D20. After a...

My mother bought me a copy of the 1986 MERP boxed set when I was like 10 or 11. I couldn't make heads or tails of it. A few years later I played my first TTRPG, which was 1st edition Earthdawn, and I loved it. And a year or two after that I was introduced to [2nd Edition A]D&D, and i was in love.

I've been playing and running Dungeon Crawl Classics for the past few years, and nothing here inspires me to return to D&D.

I'm not sure where you got any of that. Here's the XP section of the DCC Core Rulebook: "The DCC RPG experience system works as follows: • All character classes use the same advancement table. • Each encounter is worth from 0 to 4 XP, and those XP are not earned merely by killing monsters...

Same.
