    D&D General Why wouldn't you run a Dark Sun game?

    I think that's why people like it. DS is different. Also has that vibe. Newbies have often hard of it and there's a few youtube videos on it.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Explains a lot. Is it true towards the end there was no co-ordination or little quality control and they were using freelancers. Its how we got surfing druids on Athas. Cowabunga dude!!!

    I'll heal them to save there lives or top ups eg prayer of healing 5.5. Otherwise don't ask for it if you have hit dice left.

    Virtual Happy Hour (Brews & Spirits, Pics & Reviews)

    Idk enough about hops tbh. I stick beer in mouth and thumbs up or down it. The did rediscover some hops in the bush they thought went extinct. Im going to sample a few bad beers that I haven't drunk since the 90s in some cases. Best of the worse. One of my players is brewing now. He made...

    D&D General Why wouldn't you run a Dark Sun game?

    If you print out the 3E materials I suppose. Still not user friendly unless everyone has laptops (that run out of batteries).

    D&D General Why wouldn't you run a Dark Sun game?

    I love Darksun but there's a few issues trying to play it now. 1. Old books. Hard to get or easily danaged. 2. Most new players/recruits have not played AD&D. If they have its often been 25+ years. 3. You need the AD&D core books. Then the DM and Players DS book. Then psionics. That's a...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Makes sense. Prism Pentad was fun to read at least but I didn't like it when it crept into game products. It was also a big shock as we had the original boxed set but didn't know the novels even existed circa 1995 (we started late 93 no flgs) When I finally made it to the game store and...

    Virtual Happy Hour (Brews & Spirits, Pics & Reviews)

    I've basically stopped drinking craft beers. Buying the higher priced/imported eurolagers occasional ale. NZ has some decent premium beers eg hopped pilsners which are good for macro beers. Last couple I bought were Ukrainian Obolon and a Czech lager last week. Same place sells some...

    D&D 5E (2024) 5.5 Fighter Best Eince 2E

    For those of you who don't know the 5.5 fighter has been buffed. Since 2E the fighter has lost the amazing saves it had back hen. Various other indirect nerfs hurt it as well. Eg lots of magic items. It wasn't to unusual to see +2 weapons in lvl 1-3 modules, +3 and 4 ones turning up level 4-8...

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    Refresher on DMG exhaustion levels? In Pharaoh extreme heat is 1d6 hours. Then 1 more level for staying awake 24hours. I think they didn't consider this converting perhaps.

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    Yup. By now its almost Mandela memories. I haven't seen the originals since 1996 maybe. Mate gad the OT on VHS. I bought the SE on VHS in 97/98 maybe 99. Then bought them again on DVD. Then bought the black 2004 boxed set. I think that's the one they shoehorned in Hayden. So bought...

    D&D General Who else was resistant to Eberron for awhile before falling for it?

    Wasn't interested in it at first when I heard about it. One of my players was interested in it and bought the 3.5 book. They moved overseas and gifted me the book. I liked the 5E update as well. Alt art cover is nice.

    D&D General Ditching Archetypes 6E?

    Derp wires crossed wrong thread. More wondering what people think of archetypes now. Dump em, revise them, simple is better, more complex ones, happy as is. etc.

    D&D General Ditching Archetypes 6E?

    Its because AC 18 or so isn't a big deal level 10/11.
