What’s your favorite D&D Adventure System game? Castle Ravenloff, Wrath of Ashardalon, etc. Ravenloft is the only one I have played. I also have Legand of Drizzt but haven’t played that one. Were there any rules tweaks later in the series?

My original D&D books were purchased at the Toy House (a local toy store). I remember getting Star Frontiers from KB Toys at the mall. Then after that it was a Walden store. Game stores were unknown to me in the 80s.

Just curious if you have any preferences or if any of them standout above the others. Thanks in advance.

Can someone describe this feature or reference the video where MM discusses this?

I typically shoot for PCs leveling every two sessions. For my adult group that is typically 8-10 hours. For my kid group that is around 4 hours.

I am extremely happy with 5e and am not looking for anything soon (and don’t expect anything soon). 5e does strike a great balance between previous editions. It has a nice simple core and it is easy to convert earlier edition stuff. Besides D&D Beyond is still rampant no up. It is already...

Agreed. Community buyin was a huge issue for 4e. The 4e system is very flexible.

I hear you, except I am avoiding any type of glasses rather than bifocals. That is why most of reading is done on my iPad these days.

Interesting that one thing 4e people like about 4e was not planned but was done because they ran out of time (I.e. the standard power structure). I love 4e but it could have used more development time, but every edition prior to 5e could probably say that. Coming from the 80s D&D straight to 4e...

I like the scaling of weapon damage but would like to see it as a class feature and not through magic weapons.

LOL, I never said that everyone that disliked 4e was math phobic. I imagine the more math phobic people drifted towards the OSR games. However, even those that are comfortable and quite good at calculations can sometimes recoil at a pure mathematical approach. But this obviously isn’t the...

The presentation of 4e was a key element for me too. I loved the clear concise mathematical approach to the books. However, I do understand with our math phobic culture this was a problem for many.

To me, as someone who DMed a lot if 4e but rarely was a player, the essence of 4e was the monster/encounter building and the all encompassing monster stat blocks. It was such a joy to run.

I need to use exhaustion more. I rarely use it.

Yes, I would allow it.

For my stripped down D&D I play with the kids I have simplified weapons even further. Thrown weapons 1d6 damage, light, finesse, thrown Light melee weapons 1d8 damage, finesse Heavy melee weapons 1d10 damage, heavy, versatile Two handed weapons 1d12 damage, two-handed When using a two-handed...

Just curious, what is the going rate for RPG art? I know it will vary but what is a reasonable range?

Is Bill Webb still involved in the company?

Man, the is dark.

Glad to know we got fireballs right at least.
