    2nd to OSR

    What type of game are you looking to transition to? What is it that your players are tired of with AD&D 2e? Without that information, it's hard to suggest something. You could go everything from something very similar to AD&D (for example, AD&D 1e on DMsguild, to OSRIC, which for someone...

    I think my browser is so out of date imgur didn't work. Perhaps that's a good thing. Did everyone else just get whammed in the thread?

    Voltron RPG on Kickstarter

    For those wondering about the comments regarding back at your own risk... Catalyst has an interesting history in regards to embezzlement, not paying freelancers...etc. Even more recently though is their shaky ground on fulfilling what they promise in their Kickstarters...at least if I am...

    AD&D 1E What was the reason for Demihuman level and class limits in AD&D?

    The alternate question to this one deals with 3.X editions of D&D. To me, it is reasonable that unless you have level limits, you are going to have 10K level+ elves and 5000+ level Dwarves and such. No one else could ever become dominate in the world. If 3.X was played with unlimited levels...

    D&D General Just sweeping dirty dishes under the rug: D&D, Sexism, and the '70s

    This is going to sound counter to some of the popular statements in the thread, but I hate both of the drawings. They are both sexist. I find a lot of the discussion on sexism a little strange. We have a ton of white knights at tiimes with very little input from women who were gamers at that...

    Spoilers TV Shows with Great Endings

    Hmm, sounds like I need to watch Travelers as several in this thread have mentioned it. I've seen the first two episodes, but never really got beyond that. One that I thought had a great ending, though I've only seen it once, was the series finale of the Big Bang Theory. It probably should...

    Okay, that's it. Starving till Christmas...not going anywhere. If my Door Dash deliverer sings it I ask for a negative tip for them.

    "The Customer Is Always Right"

    Another part of the problem today, especially with corporations, is to see who the REAL customers are. Take Hasbro for example. Some people love them. Some people hate them. Some people are confused at some of the choices being made. Are these choices really being made for the benefit of...

    "The Customer Is Always Right"

    I have heard this and I have seen this. I have noticed a trend in some ways, that companies that do not care for their employees, ultimately do not care for their customers. For example, a company that decides to decrease it's workforce and gets rid of most of it's experienced customer service...

    Wizards of the Coast's Archetype Entertainment to Publish Exodus TTRPG Based on Upcoming Exodus Video Game

    That's a good question. I'd say with a guess that the really heavy work began...oh...about a year ago (I'd be guessing a year and few months ago. It seems that Bioware decided it had enough people and those that it shook off for spare weight really needed jobs...). I'd say it depends on how...

    Paizo’s Advent Calendar Giveaway & Sale Event!

    They charge for a playtest document (starfinder playtest rulebook)? Ah...looked it up. The PDF looks to be a free download (as it should be, I was mystified if they were actually charging for people to playtest, seems a good way to have a small and very limited playtest with only the very...

    D&D General The purpose of deity stats in D&D.

    Wierd quirks... A Gigantic Dragon in BECMI/RC has better treasure than these guys. Takhisis and Paladin have better stats (and we had a munchkin, monty haul party several decades ago that killed Takhisis...though 3/4 of that ridiculous party died doing so...come to think of it...Raistlin...

    D&D General The purpose of deity stats in D&D.

    Off the top of my head...ascended...though not even having to kill an immortal to become a deity. Caesar... Behold, my father become Deus (supposedly by Octavius). Then there were some of the Pharoahs as well. And occasionally, if one killed the Pharoah and became Pharoah themselves, they...

    D&D General The purpose of deity stats in D&D.

    2000 Epic Boons is how long... And success isn't guaranteed. (Maybe should have waited till 10K epic boons).

    AD&D 1E Multi class issue for original D&D to 2nd ed question.

    My interpretation... The old Grandfather Rules basically said anything from AD&D (or older, in this case) use those rules, but integrated into 2e. For example, let's say I had a 1e version of the AD&D Monk (1e PHB version, not the OA version). I would basically transfer the entire class...

    AD&D 1E Multi class issue for original D&D to 2nd ed question.

    Just use the 2e Dragon rule which allows you to grandfather older rules into the 2e game. Grandfather it in and just import them as is.

    WotC Some Rich Dude Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" and I Refuse to Care

    I honestly do not know what would happen if this Rich Dude got enough control over Hasbro and decided to change D&D and it's rules. I know that somehow this Rich Dude has gotten far more support (and many think it actually is among younger men from Gen Z and maybe even Gen A) than anyone ever...

    D&D General The purpose of deity stats in D&D.

    Yes, the purpose of giving them stats is so that Players can Kill them. Now let me go out and kill Set and I'll tell you how it felt after I do so (saying we don't all die in the process).
