I do. In my perception, posts about “I like X” are likely to draw responses like X is “broken” and wrongbadfun. Which I think is how this “don’t fit in” long thread started?

Fair. I could have worded that better.

5e partisans complaining about other editions and those who play them is common on ENworld. One of the most popular threads, after all, is complaining about the “conservativism” of D&D players. I got helpfully suggested to go there when I said that one alternative to houseruling 5e to get 1e...

That doesn’t actually work.

In one of my two email campaigns, I’m currently running it in 3.5e. Great adventure.

I haven’t gamed in person in years, but in person or remote isn’t the issue. You’re perhaps closer to it on strangers versus friends. Where I see complaints about 3e/3.5e is here on ENworld - a site originally for 3e, iirc - not in actual play. (An aside, but in actual play, 4e is the only...

Again, nobody asked, but I was curious having been stirred up in thinking about old Pathfinder 1 things - especially the iconics - from earlier in my life. From 2010 in my still going email campaign, it was Valeros, Merisiel, Seoni, Harsk, and Kyra they met. A well-balance mix of classes...

I bought them both. The first is indeed PF1 (“PFRPG”) rules with a tiny bit of story (and stats for many monsters , NPC’s, and traps), and the second is PF2 but isn’t so much about stats as stories and adventures related to the companions - and also meals they like and camp activities. The...

Ooh, is this it? I never noticed it existed. paizo.com - Pathfinder Kingmaker Bestiary (PFRPG) Or this? paizo.com - Pathfinder Kingmaker Companion Guide Both mention companions - perhaps in both.

Agree with all that on why we prefer 3.5e (Core Rules, no splat books and only a few rules approved one-by-one from books beyond the PHB, DMG, MM’s, Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, and Legends & Lore) as well. That’s a big one my group agrees on, for AD&D/3x over PF1 and later D&D. I’m a huge...

That reminds me … What do folks think of the Companions in Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and/or the iconics? I was thinking 🤔 about them this morning. From Pathfinder: Kingmaker, I remember after years, with a little help from looking at the list. Amiri. The female human barbarian with a giant’s...

I didn’t see an advantage to switching. I have used PF1 adventures, iconics as NPC’s, and rarely a rule or two from PF1, but the further it gets from AD&D or 3/3.5, the less interested I am. No.

Though I think the question was for Arcanra, I’ll answer too: OD&D: never D&D Basic, BECMI, RC etc.: never AD&D 1e: 1982-1988, 1996-2001 OA: 1987-1991 AD&D 2e: 1988-1989 D&D 3e: 2001-2003 D&D 3.5e: 2003-now D&D 4e: 2007-2008 Pathfinder 1: 2010-2018 (rarely, only at PaizoCon) D&D 5e 2014...

Waiting for it to be out to probably buy it (assuming it’s open to the public), rather than be a backer. I turned the 3x adventure The Standing Stones into a bit of “The Wind in the Willows” cottagecore, when my players didn’t want to just leave at the end of the adventure, but stayed for...

I’ve run Boot Hill campaigns in the past. Imho, D&D already has a lot in common with Westerns. Star Wars of course is basically a Western. jgsugden already explained well what makes a Western what it is.

For me, the Planes fit the design in the original PHB, but I would add others unknown to the author of that schematic. To wit: the TOEE nodes the Plane of Shadow the Faerie Realm, Feywild, or whatever you want to call it the Far Realm possibly the Upside Down Within the Prime Material Plane...

In 3x, you can Identify potions by sipping and a Spellcraft check, and scrolls with Read Magic or Spellcraft. I don’t recall if it’s RAW, but I also support AD&D style “test it and guess” for permanent magic items, possibly helped by Spellcraft.

I understand now. I was starting to reply hot myself, but hopefully toned it down to “huh, explain”. Good to meet you, as it were. Ron uses 5e 2014 RAW - I need to redo my character in 2024 rules - but adds Star Wars themed characters and gear. Last game, my Aasimar Warlock hot wired a...

I thought about different editions for different planets in the Prime more in thinking about Mystara (the Known World, the Basic setting), but it could potentially be interesting. Or, as I said, annoying. Or, as you implied, maybe just a waste of time?

Spells scaling to Caster Level is common through 3.5e, which is one reason I think of it as “the final version of AD&D”. I don’t remember if they scaled in 4e, but I think not?
