    Warlock! Brings The Warhammer Down On The OSR

    Stamina, Luck and Skills? Very similar naming convention!

    Paizo Community Update and a Look Ahead

    Glad they are changing their web presence. The store is awful, and very rarely worked for me - everyone I subscribed I'd have to send an email too customer services too get it to work. The way the forum takes half was minute to load each time you go back, and the layout, is really bad.

    Dragon Reflections #68

    Yup, not as written in that dragon, I've never had that. But the idea had mileage, 2, 3, and (I think) 4e had the equivalent. No armour proficiency priests that are basically divine Wizards

    Dragon Reflections #68

    The clustered cleric is an idea I've always liked, as the cleric is weirdly specific just for adventurers - and the Paladin overlap which becomes more obvious in later editions without the alignment restrictions. So I've always used or house ruled in something similar, although it is a challenge...

    D&D 5E (2014) Glory of Giants Alt Cover

    Yeah, that looks poor to me, but each to their own. It reminds me of the very poor blue illustrations in 2E core books - blech

    Any Christian rpgs?

    Green Ronin, I think, did a d20 mythic vistas box set for role playing in biblical times. But the most recent one I can think of, which is very good (Kevin Crawford, nuff said), is Wolves of God. Set in iron age Britain, it is not specifically a Christian games, but historically set so...

    AD&D 2E On AD&D 2E

    There's some crazy unreal stats in there, which really don't apply to what the characters should have! Anyway still not very likely with only 2 single digit out of 48

    D&D Movie/TV Dungeons & Dragons Adventures is a 24-Hour Streaming Channel Launching in Summer

    Hey, I could do it. Oh I don't qualify, though I might have once 🤣

    AD&D 2E What does AD&D 2E do better than 5E?

    Yeah we just basically carried across from 1e, only changing a few things, generally the classes. But then again we pretty much ran our combat like BECM because we'd come from that. Much simpler!

    AD&D 2E What does AD&D 2E do better than 5E?

    Admittedly we never really got to high level, I had one go into early teens, the rest were all single digit. The xp the first level players got from gold quickly leveled them up, and I was generous with monsters targeting them etc. In addition the were often helped by their ex PC's magic items...

    AD&D 2E What does AD&D 2E do better than 5E?

    Since new characters started at level 1, bringing back to life has always been important in my old school games. But 3e onwards that really didn't work, sadly

    Shadowdark Shadowdark looks so good!

    Can anyone explain to me how spellcasting is worthwhile? With a maybe + 1 or 2 (if you're lucky with 3d6 in order) Vs DC 11, you're basically going to fail fifty percent of the time. The extra bonus you may (once again, if lucky) get as you level up is balanced by DC 15 for your fifth level...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lord of the Rings 5E Is Coming Next Month

    King Angus, I think. So good in osprey, too

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder To Get New Core Rulebooks Soon

    That's me, buy and read the books, but don't use them for actually gaming. No way you can, I might photocopy some bits so I can scrawl notes on them. I'm also a collector, and I love beautiful books.

    Pathfinder 2E What Are The Changes In Pathfinder Remastered?

    A Paizo staffer has said that on their website, I think they were looking at 2025 but have shuffled things around to get it sorted earlier.

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder To Get New Core Rulebooks Soon

    I found the core book poorly laid out and really disgusting colours and fonts, it's visually busy. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do here, Paizo have changed the spines of some of their books already (annoying collectors everywhere) so I hope they tone down the internals with this. I'd...

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    So you have a pact with an entity that you do not know what it is until 3rd level, am I reading this correctly? Edit I should read the fluff, at least it's explained

    Does Dual-Wielding = Double Damage?

    I see your double axe, and raise you the double flail It was most certainly dire. It's interesting that most dual wielding is in dueling and unarmed combat IRL. The exact opposite of DnD combats

    Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Movie Review

    We'll I enjoyed it, a fun romp, certainly not great cinema but enjoyable. My (no interest in DnD, fantasy, etc) wife really enjoyed it too. It was particularly awesome for me to see so much of DnD brought to life, in a non crappy way - creatures and spells. Also enjoyed the Easter eggs As a...
