    Products That Overwhelmed You

    I seriously doubt that I'll ever run this thing (I didn't even intentionally buy it - it's left over chaff from an auction lot I bid on for something else). Like I said, I look at it & just have no motivation to read beyond a few pages.... But thanks for the tip.

    D&D General First D&D Character?

    My 1st character is memorable for being the harbinger of our first true house rule(s). I started off playing (as the DM) over Christmas break 1980. Myself (the DM), my brother & our cousin. 100% 0 xp between us. And no-one to teach us. We played for several months. Then we added a friend...

    D&D 5E (2014) Removing the 6 Abilities, looking for peer reviews

    Hmm. My first though: I think you're needlessly re-inventing the wheel. Especially if you don't already have your players on board. Talk to your players 1st. See if this is a problem that even needs solving or if this is at least something they'd try. Then create. My 2nd thought: If you...

    Jupiter's Legacy (Netflix)

    Good enough show. I was entertained. I know this is based on a comic. So in the comic does it answer the outstanding question of where all the other supers good/bad/otherwise who aren't children of the Union members came from?

    On number of ignores

    Oh I don't care who's ignoring me, or why. I just think it'd be interesting to know the # of them.

    On number of ignores

    Could you add a line in our profiles "Members ignoring you: #" or similar? That might be of interest/use. Even if you don't have a bunch of warning points, if you realize that x amount of people don't like what you're posting....

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you use the Success w/ Complication Module in the DMG or Fail Forward in the Basic PDF

    In general I do not. Success = success, failure = failure, the end. In specific it's dependent upon what exactly is going on in the story/game at that time. This is not discussed with the players so as to not set up any expectations on their end. They can keep right on expecting failure to...

    WotC New D&D survey from WotC

    Oh yes, I know. I've specifically called out this 5e end-of-edition-misc-material in the past. And i've been predicting 2024 as 6e's arrival date for several years now in posts like these.

    D&D General Do you re-use characters?

    As long as they aren't dead* I will. The next game they get used in just continues their story. Of course the game also has to support them. For example; *My 1/2ling Warlock, Bree - consecutively she's been an NPC, a PC through about 3/4 of CoS, a PC in several short-lived PBP efforts, made...

    WotC New D&D survey from WotC

    Of course the timing is right, we're 3 years out from the 50th anniversary of our favorite game. They'd better get cracking.

    WotC New D&D survey from WotC

    Did you rate things as extremely likely, 10, etc? I did. I got to 99% & then it asked my age and turned to 100%. For 1/2 the responses of why I feel this way I just put "See previous answers".

    D&D General Spirits and Souls in D&D. What the Heck is the Difference?

    Odds are that your PCs won't be learning the definitive answer to this question. Therefore I don't need to come up with the answer & the differences between spirits/souls can be whatever I need it to be atm.

    Marvel could publish DC.

    Yes, & so what about it? I want this as a Mortal Kombat style video game.

    Marvel could publish DC.

    The fatalities could be hilarious.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monsters: Greek or D&D

    The creature out of Greek myth. And, simultaneously, a sci-fi tracked infantry transport from the 40k game - based upon the real world Soviet BMP series of AFVs.... Yeah, that doesn't even exist in my head. In fact, even though I've used numerous chimera over the years in 5e alone...

    Products That Overwhelmed You

    That's what I've run into over the years. Complexity vs payoff. I need a system that does fantasy well (enough). I need a system that does Sci-Fi well (enough). I suppose there might be room on my shelf for some kind of Superhero game, some sort of horror, & some sort of near modern. Whatever...

    Products That Overwhelmed You

    Dungeon Crawl Classics #51 Castle Whiterock. I got this 700+ page, color-coded multi-book boxed monstrosity ages ago at GenCon dirt cheap in an auction lot. I've browsed through it a bit a few times but never even tried to run it. I just don't feel like reading 700+ pages of stuff...

    D&D 5E (2014) It's so hard to die!

    If you've a PC death wish, come play with me. My tables soaked in fictional blood. Including 22 4e characters (those took some killing). Assuming that as the DM I'm in on the experiment I'll certainly oblige you. And I'll take out some of your party as well. If I'm not in on it you still...

    D&D General Do you care about lore?

    Sort of....? I'll use what inspires me, ignore stuff as I please, and not fret about stuff I've never read. I treat company supplied lore & cannon - be it found in the books, adventures, novels, articles, etc - merely as accounts of how things are in someone else's campaign. I also CANNOT run...

    D&D General On how many dice we use

    As the DM I have 3 sets + a handful of extra misc d6. One is a sparkly R/W/B set I found at a local shop & just liked the look of. The other two are bight yellow with black #s. Perfectly readable at a glance - wich is important as I roll them in the open & WANT my players to be able to see them...
