In 1e tabletop AD&D, we tried to get double damage off a lightning bolt by bouncing it off the wall behind the enemy, when we could. The DM allowed it. The first time I lit a fireball in a "by the books" campaign, though, I guessed poorly and caught most of the party in the (expanded by small...

Thank you soo much for this! These new episodes have been well worth the wait! You’ve done a fabulous job weaving these interviews and stories together into a clear and engaging story. How far will you be taking this narrative?

This series is excellent! Rose Estes has been a fabulous addition to the storytelling this year - especially in this week’s episode, telling tales of TSR following James Dallas Egbert’s disappearance, and the rise of the Satanic Panic. I’d long-ago heard Gygax’s and several others’...

My wife affirmatively dislikes* Kaiju movies. She loved this one. *: Our son loves them, so her opinion on this is, sadly, quite well-informed.

Plausible. It was easy to impersonate a 1st-to-3rd level AD&D thief: They couldn't open locks, find traps, or pick pockets, either. (Climb walls was their only semi-reliable skill. If you were an elf. With 18 or 19 DEX. And wearing no armor, after UA was published.)

I agree. I loved the original, Japanese version (with subtitles). I found the acting to be excellent, and by far the best thing about this great movie. I tried to watch the Netflix dub yesterday, out of curiosity, and I just couldn’t stand it. So much of the performance was lost. This movie...

"60,000 Nude Hoosiers Fans Can't Be Wrong!"

No “shades”. Only white with black ink.

Like LEGO message boards when LEGO changed the color ‘gray.’ 😮

The 1e MM cover is absolutely terrible - even though I love it. I still feel the 1e PHB cover is a magnificent representation of the AD&D game (for me, back then), but not the other two.

I'm surprised by your reaction - I don't think you are wrong, but your reaction is exactly opposite my own, which is that (most of) this image is so clean and uncluttered. For whatever reason, my mind automatically focuses on the center and upper-2/3rds of the painting, and dismisses all the...

I believe Wizards published a 3.5e version of this in their first web issue of “Dungeon” as an online free ‘magazine’ shortly before the release of 4e. EDIT: It looks like it is archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090217161431/https://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd%2Fduad%2F20071012

That is so cool. I loved this movie more than any action movie I’ve seen in, um, a long time. A very long time. (Yes, more than Fury Road.) The recreation of post-war devastation was seamless. The acting [I saw it in Japanese with English subs in the theater] was heartbreaking. I get choked up...

I recommend registering and pushing that "Set Restock Notification" button. From past experience, GameNerdz sometimes reopens those preorder deals again, presumably when they decide they can secure more stock to fulfill them.

The golden age of streaming has passed. Blockbuster effects movies are struggling. There doesn’t seem a place for D&D dramatization at this time. Or a lot of genre stuff. Sigh.

YES! Apparently I'll be getting the Alt Cover set! (I hope/trust the MM will match these two in quality.)

Same! It took me a while to see those for what they'd intended. Edit: No, I was initially mistaking his dangling scarf/ribbon thingies for emaciated/ghostly arms.

I was 13, and I was so disappointed. I snootily thought the show was written for little kids, not mature teenagers like myself. :ROFLMAO: (I've also tried to rewatch it in my adulthood, but still find it uninteresting.)

There were six 23-minute, three-episode stories - two each in Sylvester McCoy’s 24th, 25th, and 26th seasons.

Hard to avoid DTRPG. They exclusively(?) sell Wizards/TSR pdf’s (and reprints) - and many other companies’ kickstarters, etc. are fulfilled through DTRPG… even companies that sell pdf’s through their own stores. I just spent an hour on DTRPG entering codes for Goodman’s Dark Tower KS, and for...
