This can only be resolved in Thunderdome.

Very true.

A lot of hostility. Interesting discussion.

Youngins don't do forums these days, they are like old folks homes.

While AD&D 1e is my formative edition for the most part, we actually started with the Elmore redbox basic. For the first year or so we used B/X and 1e together in the same games. However we then dropped the B/X stuff for pure AD&D 1e. So Bargle and poor Aleena are well known to me.

Both. High level magic, and magic gear, makes so many challenges, and plots, just irrelevant.

Honestly once the game becomes more Justice League than Conan I lose interest, but I've rarely seen a well done adventure for those insane power levels.

Ok, so gimme a summary. If he is right what is the outcome?

Yeah in the secondary 5e game we play when I'm not running my game I use that on my iPad and its amazing. Works so well that I only use it to make up PC despite only having access to the basic rules. Next time the have a sale on the PH I'll probably buy it. But not paying 30 bucks for it...

I always play my clerics as plate wearing knights. Stand behind the line and just do heals? No, I think I'll brain someone. If a need to heal pops up I'll do my best but I may be knee deep in killing at that time. But I do run into players who think the cleric should only stand behind their...

Love this kind of tale. Thanks for sharing!

The Wachowski siblings have made one great movie, one good movie, and a whole lot of meh. But man was part 1 of the trilogy great, and part 2 was still pretty fun. They are lacking when it comes to deep story but knocked it out of the park action wise in the first two. Still a bit bitter at...

If you PC is involved they get XP. We used to always play it that PC were there and ran as NPC even if the player didn't show. Now we are running it where if you aren't there your PC is back at base camp if at all possible. That way you don't get killed when you aren't there, which has...

In the end losing XP is fine since I was able to proclaim my 18/00 strength score again.

Yep. I always ask my players to describe what they are doing a bit more than just checking for traps. Are they touching it? Standing back 75 feet and giving it an ocular patdown? Otherwise they never did anything that set off some negative effect. "What do you mean I set off the trap when...

I used to try to add in music and whatnot but I found I was spending too much time fiddling with that and mostly dropped it.

I had a player tell me he wanted to use intimidate during a fight in 3.5. I told him the most intimidating thing he could probably do was keep swinging that greatsword at his foe. But if he wanted to stop that and run off at the mouth he could give that a shot. I have a hard time thinking it...

I host and referee most of the time but I get off work an hour before game time so I lack time to cook for a group and I don't eat the garbage they do so. Usually I eat my dinner before arrival then they order pizza when they all get at my house. On the odd nights we game at another friends...

Looks like your boy is a chip off the old block when it comes to painting! How I wish I had someone else I game with painting miniatures.

78 models...you are a painting machine!
