Indeed, I'm assuming that the copies printed in Italy are not for the US market since they are also printing in the US. Anyway, nothing strange about printing in the EU, I was just surprised that they would pick Italy as I would not have assumed it would be a cheap option, but it's not like I'm...

I find it very weird that they are printing in Italy...

A serious question: among those who have the money to buy it, who do you think would do a good job?

I agree, but it would be hilarious to see the reactions to Kathleen Kennedy being put in charge of D&D.

Why should there be any at all?

That's an interesting hypothesis.

Since the to-hit tables are equally arbitrary, they could have shifted the tables and the ACs by 1 and obtained the same odds.

Yes, I was not using "technical" terms, but just "common" language. Stabilize is also used in real life. Apologies if I was unclear.

I understand the general point, but death rolls are constitution rolls. I was asking if someone else could help with that roll, which, IMHO, is a different situation that trying to roll a stat instead of a skill in an "active" roll. Still, since healing is the skill that is used to "help" people...

From my understanding (which could be wrong), armor class derived from some naval wargame and is descending because, in OD&D, it is a "static" value which depends only on armor and shield and, thus, it is an indicator in which lower numbers represent a better "class" of armor. This makes sense...

It seems to be working now. I selected "Italy" and I was able to complete my pledge.

I understand that it is skill based, I'm familiar with the older versions of RQ from which it derived. However, the rules about helping do not restrict the action (from what I understand) to skill rolls and so it would seem legitimate. However, I can strongly see the point that one would achieve...

Cool, I'll be waiting for that!

Too bad about the lack of shipping to Europe. I'll probably get it later as a PDF. Best of luck with the project! :)

Yesterday, I was finally able to run a first, brief session. A couple of rules questions: Can you help someone with con roll to stabilize? Is the extra damage die in a sneak attack doubled when rolling a dragon?

The draw of FOMO is powerful indeed, methinks.

I've also been idly toying with the idea of coming up with a phased initiative system, but I've never started doing real work on it. My rough idea would be to have 3 or 5 phases per round: very fast, fast, average, slow, very slow (maybe get rid of very fast and very slow). Different weapons...

The lack of the original version makes the whole preservation angle a bit iffy, IMO.

While the appearance of a duck can seem to be random, ducks always have a purpose and it is often a sinister one. Anatidaephobia is no laughing matter.
