I join the others and thank you. Please add the DMG and MM. Maybe for the MM you could select some monsters and see the corresponding art in the different editions...

1e: Gygaxian, gritty art. 2e: TSR fires Gygax. The company wants a more High Fantasy feeling, and wants to tell stories with adventures, settings and related art. Elmore, Caldwell, Easley and Parkinson are paid to produce such high quality work. Larger-then-life, over-the-top art, it was good to...

Try the old adventures collections, Tales from the Yawning Portal and Ghosts of Saltmarsh. Each comprehends old modules appropriate for a couple levels.

PSIONICIST 5e as a modified Warlock...

Actually "From the Shadows", whose second part is "Roots of Evil". Best Ravenloft adventures, in my opinion, After the original.

I agree with the idea that the Warlock class could be the best model for the Psionicist. I've already posted my take on the Discipline Powers for Psychokinesis (they can also function with a Warlock model). In the next days I'll post the other disciplines. I want to give the most 2e feel that...

Kineticist (Psychokinesis specialist) You move things and manipulate energy with your thought. As Primary Requisite can freely choose Int, Wis or Con Psionic Tradition: 1) – gains the Telekinetic Hand Cantrip (as Mage Hand but invisible) - Telekinetic Push: as a bonus action, you can force...

Not much. But they're necessary for Dark Sun. Back in 2e, psionics was a good but unbalanced system, very different from magic. Difficult to use in normal play. But with Dark Sun, It just worked wonders. So I love 2e psionics. With 3rd edition, psionics become essentially a new magic system...

Even IF you were right, it's all about an aspect of the lore/fluff. If you like the original lore of the setting, go for it! I had a similar problem with my beloved Dark Sun. The designers created an incredible setting, only to utterly ruin it with the very first, official novels by Troy...

I usually use these: PHB only (no Xanathar or other splatbooks); exception: setting book of the setting we are actually playing. Do not roll ability scores, use 18, 14, 14, 10, 10, 10 before racial modifiers Alignment coherence in party (all good/neutral or all evil/neutral party members; evil...

This. From this point of view, IMO, the best TTRPG as a rule system is D&D5e. I prefer long campaigns (Adventure Paths) as Age of Worms. The videogame RPG I enjoyed the most is FFVII, because of the characters, the story, graphics, and the system.

IMO, the rules are like means to an end: a satisfactory roleplaying experience. If you have to change the rules to provide such a satisfactory experience, it's okay. If the rules ever become an obstacle to the enjoyment of the rpg experience, better to change them.

Actually, my little sister asked to play a female warrior in bikini chain mail. I was surprised because, really, I didn't suggest in any way this possibility. I do NOT run sexualized play, especially when I have female players. This made me think. During roleplaying, one can realize his...

Tomb of Annihilation, modified to be a race to find the Lost City of Omu hidden in the jungle. Just ignore the Curse and the final Tomb (could be played as a final bonus). All other campaigns are, IMO, not optimal for kids. Or... why not? CoS or DiA or W:DH, modified to be light-hearted.

I don't see the problem. Bikini chain mail offers protection AND lets female warriors to expess their femininity. It's an optimal choice.

The best 5e adventures produced so far are LMoP, CoS, ToA, Dia. If you start LMoP up to Lvl 5, you can then easily go on adapting CoS or ToA. Or you can use DiA from Lvl 1.

I love cheesecake. I'm a man.

I absolutely adored the work of Elmore, Caldwell, Brom, DiTerlizzi and Easley. So art in BECMI and 2e is my favourite. A great improvement from OD&D and AD&D 1e, IMO. 3e art was very good (Lockwood Dragons!), but overall less impressive. Sadly, I found 4e art revolting, with exceptions. 5e art...
