I've been using OneNote for a number of years now (both on the GM side and in one of my groups we use it extensively on the player side as well). With the pages and sub-pages it's easy to organize, I can copy/paste images or maps or text or tables or whatever and arrange or re-arrange it as I...

FWIW, the 1e Gold Box games (Pool of Radiance, etc) did the full reflection/double damage method of reflection for lightning bolt. :)

Natch, not quite at your hand but as Lanefan noted you still need to line yourself up, which while perhaps not as automatically dangerous as needing to be adjacent to the start point it was still more difficult to achieve and potentially isolating (and still all reasons why the reflectivity made...

Not sure if this counts as a rule per se, but spell talk reminds me of the fun of lightning bolt's reflective capabilities. Smacking it off a wall to hit the same opponent(s) twice made it not only a bit more challenging to use (gotta be sure you don't smack yourself too!) but really helped...

Huh! All these years I assumed that the "Fireball radius = always the same" was part of our use of the common house rule of not following fireball's volumetric conformance requirement. And yet our DM was indeed following the letter of (spell) law.

Huh, coupled with taking some wizard schools as a sphere, I bet this would be the perfect way to make a good 2e gish! :)

Yeah, monks play quite differently in 4e than in other versions, being a multi-target striker (at least until the Desert Wind monk came along and created a path for some single-target focus). Ki powered, attacking NADs, and with powers like being able to shift their speed + some number across...

Speaking of Clerics... the 2e Player's Option version of the Cleric, where you could purchase the invocation/evocation school of magic as one of your usable domains. Run around in plate armour, a shield, a mace, and cast fireball! (Did make for a way to make an 'elemental priest', though...)

Hmmm... that kinda feels like 1e summed up in 5 words, doesn't it? ;)

Cool to hear! Any word on when it or the next preview will be released?

Accidentally bought a sword from this recent UK Games Expo? Not me. Has "accidentally" bought a sword-like object at sometime that did started a particularly geometrically growing collection? That... might indeed be me. Yes. :) (Humorously, I don't think any of my 20-odd "actual swords"...

We've played a cyberpunk inspired campaign, set in the Eberron city of Sharn (the City of Towers) and where we were all playing the Disney princesses. So that can totally work. :D Sounds like the game was a lot of fun! My regular Sunday group will be taking a short break later this month so...

My favourite part of 1e Psionics was that they were resolved before any other action in a round. Crush their heads and heal your bones and leap to the heavens before anyone else can act! That is, favourite part unless you're like me and completely forget that feature (or that you have psionics...

Wow, for all the versions rattling around in my head, I had forgotten just how punishing the 1e version was! 2e's much more lenient (though still prone to vagueness) version is what stuck in my head more.

Module H4, the Throne of Bloodstone! A module that I have so wanted to run for something like 30 years. Three campaign attempts, and furthest one made it through H3 before the group dissolved.* (Not on account of the Bloodstone campaign... at least, I don't think it was due to that!) Alas! *...

Hahahahaha, wow, I had almost forgotten about that one! I remember reading it in the letters section (I think it was the letters section?) when that issue of Dragon came out... true classic.

I very distinctly remember 2e dragons. Hitting the gym and getting their stats/power bumped really turned them into foes to remember as compared to their 1e incarnations! Suddenly the big name on the front of the book really meant something. :) And then there were the specific rules for FR...

Och, alas our group also meets on Sundays (amusingly about to step away from the 4e campaign we've been playing to give the Troubleshooters a go) else I would totally be in! Enjoy everyone! Looking forward to reading all about it. :)

Heh, it is all too common that I have to preface or otherwise caveat when I talk about a rule or item description or cost or whatever within the game with "I think that's how it is in this edition..." Too many editions rattling around up there. ;)

There was always the joy of fireball! "The burst of the fireball does not expend a considerable amount of pressure, and the burst will generally conform to the shape of the area in which it occurs, thus covering an area equal to its normal spherical volume. [The area which is covered by the...
