Gnome illusionists are almost as iconically D&D as owlbears! Welcome back.

There’s a “niche sport” in England called bog-snorkelling. Essentially, swimming through muddy ditches or small canals, breathing through reeds. A land area blocked by hostile forces could force PCs to bog-snorkel past them, complete with cold muddy water and at least a few giant eels or worse...

I loved Citadel by the Sea. The rest of this edition was a bit weaker for me, mainly because I never really liked psionics.

IANAL but LaNasa, his lawyer and his various acolytes all seem a bit weird.

I’ve never played in a Neolithic campaign, though I’d love to, but I’m lucky enough to live close to some Neolithic sites, and I’ve gone out with friends a few times and played D&D on summer nights at Coldrum Long Barrow. It’s very atmospheric and can get pretty spooky in darkness.

And why stop at just US accents? In UK accents change every 20 miles or so, and I’ve played/experienced Dorset halflings, Glaswegian dwarfs, Scouse tieflings and Surrey paladins. My wonderful weekly trans-Atlantic game features Wisconsin accent, Kentucky via Army via Wisconsin accent, Georgia...

I’d go with cleric or paladin, though I played a bard in CoS and had a great time. There are a lot of social encounters.

I started to type Thariz......... And the entire internet just crashed.

Just to add to Rachel’s description and utilisation of the dragon: I play Garrac the Herald and I was genuinely scared of the beast and deeply moved by the horrific fate of the poor family. And when I say “I”, it refers to me, not just Garrac the character. I am recently back from a trip to...

Cool thread, and reading through the "Making of D&D" tome is certainly bringing back memories right now so here goes: White Box Set; Started playing this in 1976, aged 13, when it found its way to the UK and my school. I've been hooked ever since, albeit to slightly varying degrees. 1st...

The Vorpal Blade! Roll well and your enemies would be (not) running around like headless chickens!

Shout out to Eclavdra. But ultimately there is only Tharizdun.......and nothingness.

WFRP: Evil necromancer; nasty fight ensued.

This is such a great resource! Than you, @dave2008 for your hard work.

So I’m closing on the end of my current face-to-face campaign, running Scarlet Citadel by Kobold Press, and it’s gone well IMO, but I’m torn on what to run next ( probably around September-ish as we play monthly) and want to spend a bit of time modifying the campaigns a bit before starting. I’m...

It is true that people tend to view the music of when they were about 16 as the best ever. They are mainly wrong, of course. The fact is that the best music ever was around 1979 thanks to The Ramones, The Clash, Blondie, UK Subs and other punk/new wave groups. That’s definitive. When was I...

Obviously this discussion is primarily about the system ( and I endorse the OP’s comments) but, as an aside, the system ties to the wonderful Old World setting, which is grimy, dark and wonderful in equal measures.

I was 14 when I first walked the back alleys of the Free City, battled the terrors of the moathouse and searched soaring peaks for signs of the fabled treasures of Tsojcanth. I’m 61 now, and my campaigning heart is still in Greyhawk. A good day!

Just got home from tough day at work and found this thread. Greyhawk! Today is a good day!
