Hiya! Yup. Here's 3... 1. Powers & Perils ( Powers and Perils - Index ). Great game once the "light bulb moment" occurs (re: you 'get it' and the game system pieces all fall into place). 2. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, 1st Edition. Yes, there are other editions, but imnsho, the first is the...

Hiya! This is one of those answers that falls into the ultimate DM rule: "When the DM says it does". It's one of those things that simply can NOT be "codified" into an RPG system...especially D&D. Like trying to define the word "detected" in regards to someone hiding or being invisible...or...

Hiya! For yellows...use a base coat of light'ish pink, not white, and build up with multiple layers of thin yellow. Seems to work pretty dang well. :) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

You die for choosing wrong. There was actually Invisible Script written on all three doors that said "TRAP!". Like the movie War Games... the only winning move was not to play. But here's a half-eaten blueberry muffin for effort. :) 1e is a very harsh mistress! ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! My 2 coppers... Earlier "roleplaying" was more like: "If you were Falstaff the Fighter, with these stats and abilities, what would you do?" Current "roleplaying" is more like: "Falstaff the Fighter has these stats and abilities, what would he do?" No point explaining much more. That's...

Hiya! 1981, Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set 1 (Erol Otis cover; Tom Moldvay version). Although I did play the '77 version (the Holms version) for a single game, iirc (me and my best friend who bought it) very quickly after playing the Moldvay version for a month or so. I (we; me and my friends and...

Hiya! Interesting first -game choice! :) I rather like Top Secret/S.I., to be honest. I used it for a VERY successful "Zombie Apocalypse" game back in 2008'ish I think it was (maybe earlier). My "Zombocalypse" as I named it. I created a new 'background' for the world, a brief overview (VERY...

Hiya! Eh...not doing it for me. That said, it might be one of those 'kids shows' that actually has some subtle adult humour. Or it could, at least. Stuff that would go over most of their target demographics heads, but adults would catch it. You know, stuff like the classic "Is that a banana in...

Hiya! I must have, because right now it sounds like you're saying that if someone is proud of what they did and paths themselves on the back, that doing so automatically means they are denigrating others. That's...not what you mean, right? Because that makes no sense at all. Sorry for...

Er...you don't need to "shoe horn" anything. Just gently toss them at the map of the Known World and they'll slot right into their original locations. :) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! Downloading right now. I was just looking at the previous PDF I had from...a while ago. Was even thinking of attempting a 5e Mystara game with it; your doc as "basic rules stuff" and my complete Gazetteer + Boxed Set collection for, well, everything else. :) Thanks for your efforts no...

Hiya! You say that like it's a bad thing. ;) All the time, over every little thing...yeah, that's bad. But every now and then, when you feel good about something you did or do, a nice little bet of selfish praise is a good thing. :) Pride encourages you to keep doing that and do better. Too...

Hiya! What trope, for me, needs to die. It's semi-recent, but pervasive. Multiple threads have been started over the years. Here it is: "Monsters listed as Evil aren't really evil...they're just misunderstood and haven't been given the opportunity to be good". Back when Drow were Chaotic Evil...

Hiya! Not what I was taught. I was taught 0.5, round up; anything less, round down. Mind you, maybe this is a "cultural" thing? Seems strange for mathematics. I did most of my schooling in Canada (only K to Gr3 in US). So "13.46 + 7.02 / 2" would be 10, not 11. Anyone from other countries...

Because, to my utter disgust and dismay, when I've DM'ed a couple new players for one-offs or running them through character creation (doesn't matter what RPG), it goes like this 9/10 times. .. Me: "Add STR + CON, divide by two" Them: "Round up or down?" Me: "Just round it normally" Them: "Huh...

Hiya! My simple answer: Because WotC hasn't been putting out any DM-oriented books to encourage and help a newbie DM develop his/her own. I don't want what they've been putting out; "generic" books with the same stuff, different colour, minor differences. It's a handful of monsters, some new...

Hiya! Looks like a fine list! :) Not worth it for me (I have everything there except for 15 of them...which I think only two or three I'd want). Hopefully it goes well! ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! Hhehe...yup. Different strokes and all that I guess, huh? :) That said, it's not much. It's just a little something (in D&D terms, it'd be like a 1st level character getting 25xp). Each Player gets two cards at the start of the session; either new ones or the same ones they had last...

Hiya! In short, by saying "These guys are like..." then throw in reality-based examples. After that, maybe a little extra tid-bit of blatantly in-your-face "uniqueness" (e.g., "The males have a third eye in the middle of their forehead that only opens when they are looking to mate; it allows...

Hiya! Not a system for me...particularily the "Difficulty 0" that seems to be that a Player gets to just "make shitaki mushroom sandwiches" and hand them to the DM to eat. The...: That sort of "built in system for the Players" just rubs me the wrong way for my gaming style. Don't get me wrong...
