Oh, I'm sure... Prices on anything remotely collectible go through the roof.

I was mostly just looking for lots of old edition stuff. Not collector quality, just stuff to read and play through that I don't have. And perhaps some extra PHB's and DMG's in case we ever want to actually play a new game in that edition- so I can loan them out, and not lose MY copy, if...

I was just on E-bay, looking to see what D&D stuff I could find, and couldn't help but notice: THE PRICES!!! Copies of the newer 5E books were utterly, obscenely expensive! Like $200-400 expensive!! WTF,O???? These are brand new books, Like Tasha's. Do they really cost that much in...

I'm not one of those players. Never once whined about "B B B But XXX outshines my character!!!!" (that's one of the message board-isms that never made it's way into our game.) Guys played fighters because they WANTED to be that guy in the heavy armor, tough as nails, and waving around...

After reading through- and posting in- the which Edition thread, and having a look through my old rulebooks I now want to play a 2nd edition game... If for no other reason than because I like the 2E monsters so much, lol. I found today, that I have 2 big binders full of Monster Compendium...

I think I'll just do that: Give the Shaman the spell slots of a 2nd level cleric, along with the death domain powers and spells. Plus a special summon animal ability 1/long rest. To summon 2 hyenas. The necromancy cantrip afforded by the domain will be chill touch. Still thinking...

I don't know how I missed that- I'm READING through the damn DMG atm... I'm thinking along the lines of that second paragraph. In the notebook where I'm working on this project, I added the Death Domain, and it's powers to the standard Gnoll Pack Lord. This guy is NOT your typical Gnoll...

You know, you had me right along until that terrible pun at the end... That's punishable by allowing a 4 yr old with sticky hands to handle your lucky dice for a few minutes.

I'm currently trying out the 5E Monster creation rules. My first monster will be a Gnoll Shaman. It went pretty well, so far- the tutorial in the DMG is pretty straitforward. However, I'm kinda torn on WHAT kind of spell caster it should be. My first thought was Cleric, as the...

B/X: It was my first taste of ttrpg-ing, and boy was I hooked!! As a total goob for swords and sorcery type stuff, this was right up my alley. Likes: Simplicity! The entire game: spells, monsters, rules and all fit in one well organized pamphlet. AND it worked very well! It was very...

True- but it DOES show you who should probably just be ignored.

Doubly dislikeable, of course. I frankly don't CARE what edition others play or like. I've played all but 3.5 and 4- and those because A) it had only been a short while since 3 came out, we were still playing it, and saw no reason to buy upgraded books for the same edition. And then there...

We always did more or less, a combination of the above. Combat really wasn't narrated- except for highlights. The Pro wrestling stagger is as good an analogy as I've seen. The regular hits we looked at mostly as general battering, nicks, etc. What happens in any good boxing match- or...

Tbh, I'm more worried about it's continued rising prominence- and it being closely associated with a corporate giant- leaving it vulnerable to pressure from the cancel types. We already went through that once in the 80's with that moral panic... (anyone remember Jack Chick?) And in their...

Since my first thread detailing my introduction to 5E got completely derailed by side conversations- then fell off the front page, I figured I'd post a new thread for the follow up stuff. I'm playtesting a party of 4 adventurers: Bob, Fighter 4; Gary, Wizard (abjurer) 3; Paddy, Cleric of...

Speaking of rests, if your party takes a short rest and the 3rd level mage spends 1 hd to gain back some health, does the expenditure of that hit die have any other in-game effects?

My OCD brother, when it was his turn to change my infant niece's diaper?

Jeez- you'd think they'd get the hint, eventually... Annoying players are a real pain. If those players are also the S.O. of the DM, a relative etc they're an even bigger pain... I've left games, because of turds before. IMO, 1, 3, 4, and 5, are all big red flags. 4 and 5 are...

Ha! this reminds me of an experience I had with a group I met off a bulletin board in the game store. It was a homebrew setting, and I was playing a Cleric of Ehlonna, with the Sun and Good domains. This encounter took place at sea, we spotted an enemy ship full of meanies and nasties...

I played 3E quite a bit- it was responsible for getting me back into D&D, after a long hiatus! It also elevated my DMing skills quite a bit. Overall, I very much enjoyed it. Also invested a ton of money into buying stuff for it, lol. (I will NEVER run out of new adventures to run, or...
