I think both appeared in adventures, though it might have more like a description of a character than the mechanics from Dragon.

That’s why you can choose more than one, as most people did.

From a topic arising orthogonally, are folks here more often DM’s, players, or what. Choose as many answers as fit, and feel free to add more.

Anti-paladins and witches come up often as well. Maybe the purge of anything “naughty” in 2e was already happening for UA?

For what it’s worth, when I played Pathfinder Kingmaker on Xbox, I was intrigued to found a town and get it running, and then a second village in my little barony. But when the game insisted on giving me time-sensitive adventure quests after that, I was like “can’t I assign this to lower level...

Gnomes aren’t cool.😎

Good point! In reading all of Dungeon magazine’s print run (1986-2007), I’ve noticed half ogres multiple times. The first time I thought it was a unique fluke, as I hadn’t heard of it at the time, but clearly it was an accepted thing for some AD&D groups, not just a one off, as it was spread...

Same for my groups. The parts we used were the Nonhuman Deities, rarely the polearms, rarely the birth and class tables, and some of the new spells and magic items. I liked the cleric spell Ceremony, which made it to 5e 2014 as a Ritual, IIRC. It was cool that it aligned with the D&D Animated...

1. No. 2. No. Bastion is a concept that's new to me. 3. In general, when I've done city, manor, castle, etc. building, I've used a mix of just "thinking it up", published sources, Harn Manor, and DMG stuff, especially AD&D 1e DMG. Why am I answering then? I played Pathfinder Kingmaker on Xbox...

Well, you could do a poll, but I suspect EnWorld is majority DM's? Or at least a higher DM percentage than the 20% that's supposedly bog standard (1 GM + 4 players). Because ENworld requires a higher degree of interest in D&D than is necessarily the case among players.

That’s me! :) Though more often the 3.5 DM (two campaigns on email) then 3.5e player (one rarely played campaign over Zoom). I’m also a player in a 5e 2024 game (played 8-10 times a year over Discord + Roll20). :) I find 3e & the first few years of PF1 largely 3.5e compatible, but I’ll...

Thanks. I’m getting the Shattered Obelisk, just to see what the fuss is about.

3e & 3.5e are mostly the same thing, from my POV.

An interesting part is a lot of the authors were amateurs, and it’s how a lot of famous D&D folks got their starts - Wolfgang Baur, Chris Perkins, etc. The variety of topics and styles feels more wide open and experimental than now. And most have homebrew settings as well. I DM 3.5e, so that...

It’s in Excel, so it’s a bit like a database. You can filter or search on lots of things. I figure it’ll be 12-18 months before I’m done, as I’ve been working on it since 2020, with 128/150 issues done. Once it’s done, I guess I’ll post it here, and perhaps other places.

I’m writing reviews for every adventure in Dungeon, for myself but I’ll eventually release it. 22 issues left. I rate them like this: 1 No 1.5 No but Plunder (bad adventure but at least 1 good idea, NPC, location, etc. that could be recycled from it - I add Plunder to other reviews without...

I was in Canada and doing digital detox (mostly) last week. The US (my home) & Canada feel more different than they did in the Before Times.

Do you ever consider something you ran to be a stinker though? I’ve read so many more than I run - like I have probably run about 1-2% of the hundreds of adventures in Dungeon Magazine - that if I run something that’s already high praise. And with me as DM running something I think is great -...

Wondering the same. I missed this back in the day. So what would I buy now if I want to see it now? What’s the right thing to get from Noble Knight or eBay, or is it digital on D&D Beyond or DriveThruRPG? Not sure what to search for. Explanation: I bought the PHB in 2014, but saw no reason...

So, is the fixed cost per package rather than % tariffs still/actually happening? I read in the Seattle Times this morning that an American living in Thailand can’t send mail to the US because the Thai post office refuses to do it due to the tariff complexity - apparently happening in other...
