    D&D 5E (2014) Here's A Look At 3 Adventures from the Radiant Citadel

    Well those of us that love a good hack n slash are unlikely to be interested in the new cartoon fluffy way of DnD. But we've got 50 of years of stuff to use, so hopefully this is a success for a different audience.

    New Website for Mongoose Publishing

    Yeah me too, I deleted it thinking it was spam at first! Not a great idea, without explanation on the email

    AD&D 2E 2e Fighter vs Fighter/Thief vs Thief Play Balance

    Yeah it is totally not how it is written, even OSR clones that cleave close don’t include or even hint at this ‘interpretation’. It leaves Thieves as pretty useless, I’ve never had a player play one apart from my first proper campaign, after that everyone I’ve played with have realised they suck...

    AD&D 2E 2e Fighter vs Fighter/Thief vs Thief Play Balance

    Yeah it is based on what Mike Mornard (spelling?) mentioned in the original EGG games. But it is more, Thieves automatically acheive anything humanly possible, they will find all basic taps if they loook, they will easily sneak into un alert places, climb and cliff, open any lock in a townsmans...

    AD&D 2E 2e Fighter vs Fighter/Thief vs Thief Play Balance

    A way to balance the single classed thief is to make single class (only, specialized in thievery) thieves abilities always work off a normal human could do it. So if a normal human could possibly sneak past an unattended guard? Yup, success don't roll, fighter thief rolls. If an attentive guard...

    Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE LIVES! Unearthed Arcana Explores Heroes of Krynn!

    This makes we want to re read the first two trilogies, take notes on anything that could be gameplay related, and build DL on a 5e chassis. Even the original DL rules didn't actually reflect the books (along with having Knights of Solamnia thousands of years before Solamnia). These rules really...

    D&D General The Beating Heart of the OSR, Part 1

    The Black Hack is certainly OSR feels, like things like Torchbearer. Trying to get the play/feels of old school games, without the same rules. But I really can’t see how it is OD&D, it’s very much just ‘that era’ rather than ‘that specific ruleset’ Looking forward to part 2!

    D&D General The Beating Heart of the OSR, Part 1

    I disagree with your numbers because you include The Black Hack et al as derived from OD&D. If you look at the rules, the claim that it uses the original rules as a base is pretty farcical. It has nothing that makes it closer to OD&D than any other non race a class rules version of the time. To...

    D&D General A shorter Appendix N

    Yeah there seems to be very little Lovecraftian horror in 1E core 3 books. I'd be interested if someone knows of a list of what the Appendix N books appears in core 1E rules. As pointed out above a LOT of Tolkien, but he is the most influential author on mainstream fantasy. The fire and forget...

    D&D General Goodman Games switched to Indigogo for Dungeon Alphabet 5th printing.

    Frog God Games do the same thing. Big books on Kickstarter, smaller modules on Indiegogo. It's in no way a move away from Kickstarter, just enables more projects on the go at once. DCC100, whenever it happens, will be on Kickstarter (I first asked about it on their forum, march 2019)

    TSR Why I still love the Real TSR

    I even enjoy the distinctive smell of my old gaming books! I've read and re read BE... To a lesser extent CMI many times. Then I got my first AD&D book, then the FR box set... Just glorious days

    Sell Me on OSE

    I take it those of us who got in the first kickstarter won't have anything from this second one, apart from that is now two box sets, rather than one (I got all the advanced add ons)
