    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    I mostly see a problem with math. People still believe that it exists to keep the game perfectly balanced, but won't comprehend how a d20 undermines  everything, including math.

    D&D General One Piece of Art IX (Wildcard)- What NON-D&D Art Inspired You to Love D&D?

    Malek: I think we made the merchant angry! Conan: Are you surprised? Malek: But we didn't steal everything. Conan: We didn't have time!

    D&D General One Piece of Art IX (Wildcard)- What NON-D&D Art Inspired You to Love D&D?

    Oh, sure. As much as the movie was an inspiration for D&D (not to mention the soundtrack played during many games), there was the other that was so much more D&D than the first. The fight in the tombs against the wizard and the cultists is still one of my favorite on-screen battles where the...

    D&D General One Piece of Art IX (Wildcard)- What NON-D&D Art Inspired You to Love D&D?

    Well as much as I'd hate to show this to a bunch of strangers in a forum... I give you Conan the Fearless! During my preteens, I was an avid reader. Among my favorites were the new "modern" stories of Conan, written by the likes of Robert Jordan, Steve Perry, etc. I had quite the library of...

    Me too. When things get like this, I try to stay away and just focus on doing whatever makes me happy.

    Dude. It hasn't been very much fun to be a fan of anything, anywhere lately.

    AD&D 2E Hordes of Dragonspear Castle adventure

    You would be better off using this. Under Illefarn Anew updates the original 1e adventure to 3.5e, and adds a ton of new information regarding the history and region surrounding the town of Daggerford. Plus, its free. And its annotated. There's a ton of notes from the author who has worked on...

    The "largest bundle" is $25. For 28 items. A lot of those products cost more than that by themselves. You can have them for less than $1 each. But please tell us more about your woes and the greediness of a corporation trying to get you to donate more for charity! :rolleyes:

    D&D 5E (2024) More People Test One D&D Origins Playtest Than D&D Next

    Isn't there more people playing D&D now than before? That just makes sense. So celebrate every victory, no matter how small or meaningful, eh? That's cool. (y)

    Pathfinder 2E Humble RPG Bundle: Pathfinder Second Edition Strength of Thousands by Paizo

    This actually works great for me. When I purchase their pdf bundles, I can get the full-price discount when I buy it on Fantasy Grounds. Its even better when it goes on sale! So last time, I got the Starfinder bundle, which included the entire adventure path for Attck of the Swarm. I was able...

    D&D 5E (2024) Split the Players Handbook into two books: Lower Tiers and Upper Tiers

    Level-based games like D&D usually struggle with high-level play. At first glance, it seems enticing to players to reach the pinnacle of demigod or superhero status, with the promise of incredible challenges and rewards to enjoy. But the reality is that it just makes the game more complex to...

    Grognard view of One D&D?

    Oh, I see what you're saying. Still, the "greater community" isn't someone that I personally need to appease or cater to, unless I am running a business. I can assure you that, currently, I am not. 100% agreed. Maybe. I think the OSR movement might say otherwise. Nostalgia can be a powerful...

    Grognard view of One D&D?

    Find more friends (or new ones) to share your interests. You are allowed to have more friends, play more games, and meet with other groups. I don't let WotC determine my path anymore.

    Grognard view of One D&D?

    For anyone that needs to hear it (again, if they seen me post it elsewhere) : You can get on the bus to let someone else drive and hope that they take you where you want to go. But if you feel like you missed your stop, don't just sit there and get pulled away from your destination. Have the...

    D&D General Beginning a new campaign advice - foreshadowing and railroading

    If the story begins with the characters stranded on a mysterious island, then that is where the campaign should begin. Anything leading up to their situation is irrelevant unless it will have any significance or impact later in the campaign. For example, let's say you want them to run into...
