That is a cool take on the modrons.

I had a friend who would roll the d4 and then pick it to read it as the number NOT on the bottom was what was rolled.

I will use the max up for monsters that are suppose to be really tough and it seems like they will down too quick. Sometimes I will use the min hp too if quicker or the monster in a tougher than I want it to be but it fits the theme I am going for. Additional monsters works too. Just another...

When playing 1e, 1” of distance was 10 feet underground and 10 yards above ground. This was his weapon and spell ranges worked. However, I mistakenly thought it applied to spell areas too. We had really big fireballs.

Spelljammer ships

Using the 1e age by race and class tables, a human fighter could start as young as 16. I don’t see the big deal. Let them play a kid. I think it would be interesting and I want my next PC to be a kid (maybe 13) now.

When converting 1e modules I use a combination of substituting 5e monsters and doing on the fly conversions of 1e monster stats. I then vary the number of monsters up or down to set the difficulty I want. For my on the fly conversions, I do the following. I determine a level for the monster...

I’m down for a playable Giff.

I am male and indifferent. To be honest gender rarely comes up during play. If someone is playing cross gender I forgot half the time anyway since it just doesn’t come up that often.

I love minis and have a huge collection of them. But I use minis and totm pretty equally in my games. It just depends on the situation. Back when I played 1e we didn’t use minis, then I joined a group that did use them (no grid just used them on the table top) and I was hooked. I didn’t...

I haven’t used it and am not interested in using it.

Hadn’t thought about that. I may have to incorporate that.

We need Spelljammer ship miniatures (and some Giff).

I am running Spelljammer for 5e currently and I have simplified it as well. No crystal spheres or phlogiston. Just solar systems and space in between.

Hmm, I don’t think I have ever played or DMed a game that left the prime material plane. The planes are out there but aren’t that relevant to my games. In my current Spelljammer campaign I was thinking that is we get up into the teen levels then I may adopt my version of the 4e cosmology. The...

I wouldn’t be deterred. When joining a campaig, I don’t think I ever even considered the campaign setting. The other people involved are the deciding factor to me. I have used Greyhawk many times but don’t really follow the lore that closely. When using an established setting I tell the...

Us, the customers.

Yep, 40 years of material to pull from. Right now I am running the 1e Dragonlance campaign with the kids and using 2e Spelljammer material for my adult group. I haven’t ever touched the 5e hardcover adventures yet (except a little of YotYP).

Sort of. We discussed if someone has advantage on initiative or some significant bonus we could add a second card in the deck and he would go the first time his card is drawn. Basically they just said as long as everyone gets their turn then they are okay with it.

I have been using these for a while now and I really like them. Very flexible. I ended up getting a set of 5x5 and 10x10.
