    OSR Healing tweak - proportionality

    I'm hugely in favor of this idea. In fact, when I was experimenting with my "D&D variant" I did exactly this thing (and it was of course, inspired by 4e and WWN). Healing proportional to total hit points and healing "surges" limited by a resource that can only be replenished in a safe haven.

    Tangent: Monks in AD&D 1e also have two hit dice at first level. It's 2d4, which is still quite terrible. I import a lot of features from the monk variant in Dragon 53 ("He's got a lot to kick about"), among those the d6 hit die.

    Personally, I really appreciate the style and the relative brevity with which you describe the various articles and features of each issue.

    Somehow, I don't think the climate conditions were the foremost considerations on Caldwell's mind when painting that cover.

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    Is there anyone here with sufficient legal knowledge and sufficient patience to explain what is going on? Why can Diamond just confiscate those goods? If they liquidate them are the previous owners among the creditors to be refunded?

    Thanks, I didn't know that. Having read "subscription", I assumed it was a paid one.

    Tomb Raider RPG Cancelled For Creative Differences

    Thanks for the clarification. I don't know it this is touched upon in the article, but it does seem possible that the licensor wanted something more standard and in-genre. But then again, looking at Evil Hat past products, it is not a surprising take from them, IMO.

    The article is beyond a paywall, but I wonder if the licensor was looking for something less political?

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I often read a post in this thread and I nod vigorously. I'm in full agreement and I snicker at those fools the post is talking about. Then I pause and I wonder if I might be one of those fools.

    I wonder if the horse riding comes fact, that during the "classical" Bronze Age (as far as I know), the Greeks did not in general ride horses in battle. Clerics of Poseidon would be an exception because the god is is associated with horses.
