Interesting to see the data, and then the other thread with how many fights before a long rest.. doesn't seem like the PCs are challenged that much? Is letting people stay at 0 so upright party members can beat the mobs senseless still the general practice?

What I Think 5th did right, the phb released at gencon(I dm'd 8 - 4hr sessions) in 2014, it was a fun system - many were clapping and happy it was a return to more dm centric rulings vs procedural rules for everything like 3.x. I recall a standing ovation from 'The Baldman' DMs for some of the...

Of our two groups, we have about 7 of 12 who DM somewhat consistently - rotationaly. 1 who has only dm'd 5th, likes the changes. 6 of us whom have dm'd 5th, would not dm 5e again( I DM'd 5th/AL for 6 years/starting gencon '14), and one dm only continues to do so for 5e because he is paid! lol...

I was looking over my files, and I have two pdf manuals.

Running an ad&d 2e Dark Sun[1st release] game now, pretty much by the book - with complete psionics. Been going for about a year now, and enjoying the rules as is, and smooth over quirks as needed. The bone/obsidian/wood weapon modifiers/breaking was meh, so changed them to decrease a die size...

We had the RC and Immortal handbook of (BECMI). We incorporated ideas from RC, players to 20+, and the Immortal path into our 2e game, some of the weapon spec., the mystic - eventually having Immortal characters and having an Immortal Campaign - World & Universe Building.

A friend in our gaming group picked up the 3e PHB on release, we had a regular ad&d 2e/1e group at the time. We looked it over, and wasn't that impressed on initial read and didn't like how free[sloppy] the race/class mechanics were, the muddying of the archetypes and birth of the...

patched and was able to create a necromancer npc, as well as access the map maker [windows 11], all is working, help files etc. thanks

Hello Sir, I recently(2mo back?) installed the patch, went smooth! I'm trying to create myself a noCD Crack, so maybe i'll have something to share some day, but school is priority until Jan 24'.. when i'm done.. /whew I haven't touched a debugger, assembly and hex in twenty+ years lol...

The AD&D 2E Core Rules are available on the internet archive, I own the CDS, but no longer have a CD Player! grr. I was able to successfully install the core rules and expansion on Windows 10, and recently 11 by killing the 32 bit app(mentioned above). Did anyone do a write-up on getting the...

[old thread, old lurker(2015!) back into 2e since '22, played 2e throughout the 90s] Since I run Dark Sun, they "require" some of the optional rules like WP/NWP, different ability dice method, Psionics. I say required, but I could easily pass on them. I'm using the standard initiative in 2e, in...

4 out of 5 rating for Princes of the Apocalypse Enjoying the new features in this release

This would be very cool, if they are still in the works; some hope at least.

I can see the players being discouraged, especially if they are aware of it. On occasion, I have let players make a save to avoid getting killed by a blow, i even instituted something similar to 'action points/heroic points' that allows them to do this. As for beefing up monsters mid fight, I...

nice work, how has the process been going for you in converting 1e to 5e?

thanks for sharing, awsome

4e had some good ideas, really liked at will powers, {note i liked 4e the least of all editions}

Nice elaboration KD, I would also agree with it being slightly off and with Jody on the advantage on a roll.

I would say sure why not, there is series detailing a kender in the planescape/Realms settings - Finders Bane/Fistandantilus Reborn\Tymoras-Luck (lost gods series); entertaining books imho.

for arcane casters I always gave the free two spells when they reached a new spell level, and they would have to find/acquire/trade for the rest. worked fine for us. I occasionally had them find spells books or scrolls, once in awhile they could find a traveling wizard selling spells in his book...
