Not sure about this. If I had to guess based on my less than perfect view of the industry, I'd guess that there are more people playing non-D&D than there were at that time, because the market has grown - but D&D (and it's progeny) seem to have driven the majority of that growth so I'd be...

Even back in the early days, I don't think I ever played a real game (a couple of goofy one-shots, but nothing real) that used a randomly generated dungeon. We liked our dungeons, but they were always the product of intentional design, and (in our stupid adolescent ways) tried to have some logic...

I think the fizzle may just an omnipresent potential when playing with people who have "adult life" commitments to work around.

I should never be allowed access to a keyboard.

Typo on my part: "It does sounds like a pretty close 3E Ranger analogue."

I like the idea, but I suspect most, if not all, of those licenses were for a set duration and have long since expired.

Just sat down with my CKG and crunched through what this really means. It does sounds like a pretty close 3E Ranger analogue. (y)

Leagues of Gothic Horror (an expansion for Leagues of Adventure) does a great job capturing the gothic horror trappings. Uses the Ubiquity system (from Hollow Earth Expedition).

It's a clever concept that reads well - but I've never actually used it in a game.

I don't really have a preference for generic or specific - in a general sense. It boils down to what I'm wanting to run. Sometimes I have very specific ideas in my head about the type of game I want to run, and there isn't, or I am unaware of, or I don't like any of, a specific set of rules...

Honestly, this one confuses me as well. I've only ever played xD&D rangers in AD&D - never in any of the "modern" editions of the game - where Rangers don't even get their spells until something like 8th level. Because high-level games were rare for me, I almost never had a Ranger that could...

The most reason two: Doctor Who Adventures in Time and Space: Far too much prep on my part for a campaign built around former companions (players could choose to adapt actual companions from the TV series, or create a new original character who was a former companion of their favorite Doctor)...

Why oh why does ChatGPT want my phone number in order to create a login?

Because 'psionic' sounds exotic and 'psychic' makes people think of the Psychic Readers Network.

This is my preference. I think it not only makes more sense to the player, t makes life easier for the GM as they don't need to know if the Stat is Prime when coming up with the difficultly - the difficulty is always the same.

Are the cards a randomizing agent, or do they represent meta-currency to be managed?

It's not so much the running D&D as a competitive game that confuses me. It's not my cuppa, but I've seen it done for decades. It's the trying to turn that into a spectator sport that hurts my head. Watching other people play a RPG bores me to tears. (Even obviously scripted "actual plays"...

Ok, I'll admit it - I'm really having difficulty wrapping my head around the idea of D&D as an e-sport. I watch a lot RPG-related video content, but typically reviews and walkthroughs - but D&D as an e-sport sounds like "actual play" territory, which bores me nearly as much as watching paint dry.

Hmmm.... I'd been stalling on buying the Central Supply Catalogue. Procrastination for the win!

The Realms being Heartlands-centric so far as publish material goes never really bothered me though. The North and the Savage Frontier - using the information from Jaquay's "Savage Frontier" provided a lot of opportunity to built my own stuff, but still use the official lore as I wanted. (I did...
