    Question for players: how much reading is okay before a campaign?

    I have to agree here as well, but I had a Dm that would give different information to different players depending on the characters history and what they might know. ( i try this to an extent)

    What are the worst classic D&D adventure modules?

    very true on ToH... I always used the modules as a beginning, spent way too much time re-writing some of them. Like one of my Fav... N-1 I even redid the map because it didnt fit for a town of 300. and no one was related to anyone else etc...

    Barrels- how big? hold how much? - reality check

    radius. I have no idea where you've got the heights for those barrel sizes, either. A US half-barrel keg (15.75 gallons) that you have listed as 4' tall is in reality only 23.4 inches tall by 17 inches in diameter (roughly). from actual hand made wood barrels, made in the style of the...

    this kinda goes with the barrels. This list of prices are located oddly or based on prices already in the PH, DMG or AE; Or are just made up based on real life prices and yields of the middle ages Alcohols Item Price...

    5e what would you do?

    I think that hasbro... (it is hasbro WotC is gone its just a front) was just looking to consolidate so that all the profits would be theirs. With digital sales they were loosing out on too much or so they thought.

    5e what would you do?

    I dont care if hasbro goes 5e which they will eventually, once sales slow down on 4e. I just wish they would support the older versions, and go back to print with dragon, made no sense for them to stop pazio from publishing... but I must stop my rant here before I start bashing....... again.... lol

    Let's read the entire run

    nice... I have all my early editions and have all the strategic reviews, i have a little newsletter from the same time period that was published in NYC and local area. The only thing I didnt like about dragon, is that I (three times) sent in well worked and researched articles and they sent me...

    Barrels- how big? hold how much? - reality check

    I did some further research, i left out a few and some reference materials, because there are some websites with faulty information on the actual sizes. quick for instance... from the Oxford Dictionary: A tun is four Hogshead which is 63 gallons. So I have a better list if anyone wishes...

    Barrels- how big? hold how much? - reality check

    i do it in several ways,,, Not sure of the exact method i used here it was some time ago, but I believe i started with the cost from the books and then used the old Article by Gary G on the conversion from real dollars to gold coin. Of course there is always some extrapolation on my part, a...

    Barrels- how big? hold how much? - reality check

    I spent some time actually researching barrels and even buying several to make this list more realistic. would love comments. under cost I save writing out all the types of coin... 1 = 1 gp 1.1 = 1 gp + 1 sp and can you figure out what 1.11 is? Item...

    System Reference Documents

    this is still in need of fixing... as I came up with flasks (based on a blown glass beer bottle) at weighing one pound... then you must take in account the weight of the water. so... they are actually 1 lb 15 oz or just 2 lbs each. oil is slightly less. more on holy water, they had the cost of...
