On the day your new book is announced the author seemed to spend more time addressing people who don't like his show/style, his homebrew rules, his product not being the product others were hoping for, and his first book not being up to snuff. While he doesn't say "I'm sorry", it's essentially...

I don't actually, so maybe it's warranted, IDK.

Wow. There must be alot of negative feedback to provoke a response that is mostly an apology from the author.

Nice maps- WOTC needs to hire that one.

Nentir Vale- That's it. Don't ever let Perkins get anywhere near your old TSR anything. That goes for Mike, Monte,Sean and Bruce too.

The Caller

This is a blessing, I assure you :)

Ok. Thanks. Any idea what makes it different from say, Eberron, or FR? I tried to watch the show before, and I couldn't.

So it's just "official" for D&D now?

Didn't they already do a book? And isn't it basically Nentir Vale re-skinned or something?

I've been thinking about this further.. Train of thought is all over... HP could be called HP or Vitality or Endurance or whatever- Fighter maneuvers, Spells, Rogue maneuvers, some kind of crazy skill maneuver (a huge leap, etc) would be fueled by HP. Once you are at 0 HP/Endurance/Vitality...

Sure thing- I'm just curious what people who won't switch to PF2 (for whatever reason) find worth stealing/are improvements.

Wow. that bad, huh?

Sorry. I usually just skim over that contributor's articles. Didn't see that bit. The Manual should see a Kickstarter in 2020 according to the author's posting at the OD&D proboards.

Land shark = Bullette Ask Tim Kask Or Chevy Chase

I like the idea. This is how the original Thief Class worked- It looked something like- hide at first level. pick locks at second. remove traps at third, etc. They were abilities like spells, with no % chance mechanic. The most powerful abilities being reserved for higher levels. Gary took the...

So for those who maybe don't want to switch to PF2 or didn't like it, etc. What things from PF2 do you consider improvements that you would swipe for your PF1 games?

If you want to stick with TSR versions- then GH Ruins is the way to go. But overall it's not muh like the actual CGH. It's mostly TSR designer works with a few of the names/locations from the actual CGH. If you want to get as close to Gary's as possible then you need to try to find, and then...

Yeah, it's one of those things over the past 20 years that has been brought to light in the OSR realm. Steve was (is?) a very active SCA member and was all about "realistic" combat- as much as possible anyway. Hence why RQ has always been quite deadly. I should add, RQ strike ranks/initiative...

Based on the way this convo is going- you folks need to look at Runequest- or google/check out "The Perrin Conventions"- Steve's house rules for OD&D that eventually became RQ.
