    D&D 3.x New body slot( dentures )

    In 1e we managed to kill a unicorn. We took its horn and had individual replacement teeth made that would protect our characters against poison.

    Dragon Reflections #68

    I played on fighter who fought with a longsword and dagger in 1E. I don't recall if we house-ruled any of it.

    Titan Dwarves and Player Skills?

    I don't know what source book this comes from, but it looks like it uses the 3.5 rules. In 3.5 you have to pay for those skill ranks. At the top of the second page you have an entry, "Skill Points at 1st Level". Without any intelligence modifier (say the pc has a 10 Int), the character gets...

    D20 Polyhedron Minigame Fan Expansions

    I tried the wayback machine and it doesn't look like they have an archive of the group. I found this thread: https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/polyhedron-d20-mini-game-list.74797/page-3 A guy named Amberjack73 there said he was the mod of that group above. Maybe he has the stuff if you...

    Dragon Reflections #66

    In the first campaign I played in (was a mixture of OD&D and 1E) in 1979, one house rule was that when fighters got to 5th level their damage dice with longswords increased to 3D6 from D8.

    OSR Dr. J. Eric Holmes dungeon being printed by Pacesetter Games.

    There's a theory that HH Holmes traveled to the UK and committed the Jack the Ripper murders. From what I remember, his whereabouts are unknown when the Ripper was murdering people in London.

    OSR Dr. J. Eric Holmes dungeon being printed by Pacesetter Games.

    In our party, it was always a race to see which caster (MU, Druid or Cleric) would bring the fallen fighter or thief back to life. The druid's Reincarnate brought the PC back as a woodland critter maybe a human or elf if you were lucky. The MU Reincarnation was the best I think as it had all...

    RPG Evolution: Don't Play This Class!

    I played one of the versions of the Bounty Hunter from Dragon Magazine. Also played a Black Priest from White Dwarf. Edit: Also used a Necromancer class from White Dwarf as an NPC BBEG.

    AD&D 2E Intelligent Magic Swords? (2e AD&D)

    Yes and Blackrazor comes to mind.

    AD&D 2E Intelligent Magic Swords? (2e AD&D)

    :-) in my campaign or yours? I think it would be the percentage in whatever random magical weapon table is in the DMG. If rolling d100 and 01 to 30 is designated a +1 weapon then I would call that 30%.

    AD&D 2E Intelligent Magic Swords? (2e AD&D)

    That 25% overall could be concentrated in the more powerful swords with very few +1 swords being intelligent.

    Listening to old-timers describe RP in the 70s and 80s

    We had several campaigns going at once. Low level types in one campaign where you could start with a 1st level character and a higher level campaign. Everybody had 3-4 characters in the higher level campaign. Once we could raise dead folks we didn't have the problem of filling gaps in the party.

    Listening to old-timers describe RP in the 70s and 80s

    Similar, but not as bad as that... When I went home for summer break from school I found a group near Pitt (I grew up just east of Pittsbugh) and asked to join. They let me play. I'll never forget my first session when I went to roll a d20 for an attack and the DM said, "Whoa, I roll the...
