I never noticed these rules. For the PC with a Frost Mace in my main campaign, it just automatically does Cold damage on a hit. This has never come up as an issue for us. No captured giant weapons and the small characters use their own small weapons. Also hasn’t come up. The only Metamagic...

Around here, the assumption seems to be the latest edition is the only edition. But 3.5e is my favorite too.

I found a pre-release version of Pathfinder at an FLGS (I lived not far from Paizo), snatched it up, and I gave it to Wolfgang Baur. I don’t know if it was the official Beta or something else, but he was glad to get it and hadn’t seen it, so probably before it was at GenCon.

D&D the Cartoon, Land of the Lost …

If you have a good place to post it, let me know. PM here should work. I worked from issue 70-150, so yes, including AoW (though I skipped one adventure), then started with issue 1 and I’m up to issue #38. From issue #1, I started to get more comprehensive in my notes, which I think will...

Oh, I know the feeling of setting curiosity. So many seem vaguely interesting, and I’ve embarked on a quixotic quest to fill the corners of Greyhawk with other settings - including never published ones, like the D&D cartoon setting. I bought several Kalamar books, the screen, and some...

5e and D&D aren’t synonymous. You’re right, though, 5e is significantly further from Tolkien than Older Editions. Part of why I’m “meh” about 5e.

What are you planning to do with it, Mr. Wizard? If this were a poll, choices would include just know what exists, collect, read, trade, use as your primary setting for a campaign, or use as another continent or world within a large campaign.

Plus, doesn’t everyone share XP when they join the party? I leveled her up to 9th for her first outing with the party.

I think the sea voyage to the Isle of Dread is the best part. I would a lot more side adventures to that, and I’m inclined to cut or reduce a lot of the high level stuff.

1st when I met her. For converting her as an NPC for one of my 3.5e Greyhawk campaign (just getting underway with a third spin-off from the ongoing original campaign), my explanation is she was Level Drained. That’s the AD&D term. In 3x terms, Negative Levels that she failed saves on so they...

They can be run PG, but I hear you.

My niece (13, new DM, plays 5e at school and learned 3.5e from me, decided to DM 3.5e) uses AI to help with that. Probably ChatGPT? I’ve used Copilot to help a bit with that. Tell it what you want and it can make reasonable details. I tell it the race, class, gist of the character, often the...

I don’t know offhand. My 3.5e campaigns started as 3e, and extra rules from NBoF we haven’t revisited. I suspect there wouldn’t be a difference. Oh, unrelated, but one thing to watch out for is errata in 3.5e. I run my game in email and typically cut-and-paste from d20 SRD when I want to...

That’s true. We use those rules, but minimize grappling situations.

The 3e splatbook for Fighter types: “Sword & Fist”, p. 37. The PC with that Prestige Class is a Fighter from Furyondy, with back story that he was in the local militia. A lot of adventuring and role-playing later, two of the PC’s who were now politically connected finagled an appointment to...

Net Book of Feats I think is just feats.

I’m not interested in fighting with you. FYI, I will not see your further messages.

My house rules: Default rules are 3.5e Core Rules (PHB, DMG, MM) plus Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, Deities & Demigods (selected pantheons), MM2-MM5 & FF. From UA, splatbooks, and NetBook of Feats, selected rules only - requested by a player for their PC and approved by DM plus the group. From...
