    OSR White Box Cyclopedia crowdfund is live.

    It's quite interesting. Do you know what are the main differences with Swords & Wizardry?

    Universal Fan Fest Nights to Bring Xanathar to Life With Giant Puppet

    It will even have a fully functional central eye. Magic is 100% guaranteed not to work inside its cone.

    Here Are 2025's Most Anticipated TTRPGs... As Voted By You!

    I sure have plenty of my own and I'm ready to admit that this is likely one of them... :D

    Here Are 2025's Most Anticipated TTRPGs... As Voted By You!

    I obviously disagree. There are tons of RPGs out there and limited time to check them out. It's not like I need a new game. So, the way something is presented, especially if it not likely to be of immediate "use" to me, plays an important part. You disagree? Fine! Check it out. I was not...

    AD&D 1E Determining Mercenary/Hireling HPs for Castle Guard and Ship crew.

    The d12 is a typo. It should have been d10. There was errata published in Dragon 103.

    It's been so long since the last GURPS edition, that the present day is now in the "future" tech level

    I haven't. I like the 3d6 curve... but not for D&D. It's d20 or it's not D&D to me.

    Yes, that is correct. This is from its introduction:

    Dragon Reflections #87

    I bought a copy of Bureau 13 back in the early 90s (I think). It probably was the 3rd edition and I remember that combat was monstrously complex.

    Certainly not. But one can hear about new games in different ways and have a different reaction.

    Here Are 2025's Most Anticipated TTRPGs... As Voted By You!

    Certainly allowed, but it does leave a bad taste in my mouth and does not make me inclined to learn more about this game which I had never heard of before. I realize that this is my very personal idiosyncratic reaction. I like Dolmenwood, but since I already have the PDF (I backed the KS), so I...

    D&D General Who was your first character, and do you still play them?

    I honestly can't recall my reasoning back then, but it does seem extremely likely in my case.

    D&D General Who was your first character, and do you still play them?

    My first D&D character was a halfling in Mentzer's Red Box Basic. The adventure was B2 Keep on the Borderland, and I absolutely don't remember his name, but likely it was something ripped off from Tolkien. He survived a couple of sessions, but met his demise when I skipped a session. My first...

    AD&D 1E Holy Symbol Spell Purpose?

    That's a fine stance and if it works for your games, go for it! In AD&D, life for PCs is usually more complicated. According to the DMG (p. 115) creating holy water requires a special (and expensive) custom-made receptacle and the casting of five different spells.

    Pirate Borg: Buried in the Bahamas

    The parrot takes off and cautiously circles above the shape, but not too close to the surface.

    D&D 5E (2024) New Year Wishes For D&D in 2025?

    While we are at it, I really wish to see the "general features manager" that they were supposedly working on before being bought by WotC.

    D&D 5E (2024) New Year Wishes For D&D in 2025?

    If I can dream, let's have all the editions (at least the major ones). And open DM's Guild to all the settings and to all previous editions.

    Pirate Borg: Buried in the Bahamas

    The parrot flies on board and agrees about sailing towards the port. [I'll level him up soon, I promise]

    A bard stole your car and killed your dog. I hope that you can take it in stride.
