    How Special Are The PCs?

    Depends on the campaign concept: In my last 5e campaign (2018-19), the four level 2 characters were brothers and sisters, and children of a Baron, who was murdered prior to session 1. The long term objective was to find out who and why they killed him - and possibly enact revenge. They were...

You get one +4 abilities, two +2, one at -2. Any other undefined ability is considered 0. "Examples: In a classic fantasy world, one ability...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I have to stop interacting of old D&D forums. Dredging up the old memories makes me morose. Instead, I'll concentrate on my game tonight with the 40 year old youngsters. Cheers!

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    Fair... and they've been and are dying of old age. The first cohort is in their 70s and 80s. We lost a few last Winter. No more posts. Then months later we get the news. Never met them but it's sad. My group had no problem using 10 segment rounds, up until the end of 2e, even with individual...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    You will find many people who played by these rules, but not here. There are specialized forums for this type of game play. As wargamers first, they played by the rules as they understood them. It's a frame of mind.

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    Illusionist was my favorite class. Started with a gnome thief-illusionist. Later I did an Illusionist but the DM wasn't very collaborative. My illusions never worked regardless of context. At level 5 I did 5 levels of M-U, then switched back to Illusionist. After that, I would cast a real...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    I bit late to the discussion but you are correct @Snarf Zagyg. Fighter saving throws were also favourable. Targeting the M-U (spell casters) to interrupt was indeed a tactic on both sides of the DM screen. Short bows and slings first round. Fighter in melee on second round (more or less...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Sometimes I think this community likes to self-flagellate about the pleasure they take in playing RPGs. It's as if having fun is bad.

    Violence and (Geek) Entertainment

    Escapism vs Realism: Your choice what you want to watch and how often you want to watch of each. I'm not judging. Did King have a new book to sell when he said that? ;)

    Spoilers Wednesday S2

    I preferred season 2. Having the entire Adams Family contribute to the story was more interesting and fun. Felt less like Harry Potter school of magic.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Gladly, we don't have HOAs in Quebec. No one would accept that kind go authority coming from another neighbour or the extra layer of 'government'. If there is a problem, talk to your neighbour first. Then, you can file a complaint at the Burrough's service desk if the problem is not resolved...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I want the Supernatural El Camino with the pull out seat that hides machetes and shotguns. Perfect for the zombie apocalypse. Now, if someone were to make an amphibious El Camino for global warming it would sell like a hot cake! :ROFLMAO:

    [General Discussion Q&A] Shadow of the Weird Wizard [+]

    I would say less crunchy. There is no skill list first of all. Initiative is simpler and faster. I find the writing of the rules superior and they are better defined (actions, conditions, hazards, light, movement, senses, social challenges, etc). You get 2 class talents at level one. For...
