This is a very good post. I believe Dausuul is on to something here. (must spread XP and all that)

I started playing with AD&D and loved it. I ran games with Mentzer and loved it. 2nd edition unfolded and I liked some stuff about it, but quickly was drawn away playing and running a multitude of other games. I burnt out on gaming around 1999, and came back to D&D with 3rd ed. I loved 3rd ed...

Hi there, guys! I just reactivated the Praemal Tales blog and want to get the word out. If you have any comment, question or feedback, please don't hesitate. Here's the piece of news I'm posting around: Follow the adventures of an all-female, rune-bearing adventuring group as they explore the...

I was not fine with Daily powers for fighters. I am an experienced D&D player, but I also ran a Paris by Night Chronicle for close to 10 years, and still run a New World of Darkness reboot of that Chronicle. I don't think my problems with dailies had anything to do with a lack of experience with...

Well, I did start re-examining 4e rules slightly before Essentials' release, but as far as I am concerned, it does its intended job in that it makes me want to run the game, where I would not have run the game after reading the original 4e books. So I guess it's working for me.

I can't wait to receive it myself. This is going to be a blast. :)

Just verisimilitude and fact checking missing is all.

*stops after reading the first few words* ARGH NO! No spoilers! I haven't received the game yet! :D

Since the New Red Box truly is the heir of Holmes D&D, 5e will therefore be Mentzer D&D reborn, with an Advanced D&D version published later on to renew the sales, since Wizards will have pointedly pointed out that "there will be no 5.5". The Cycle will be complete. The world will come to an...

I'd count Pathfinder on the same line as 4E, in the sense that 4E would be 8th edition possibility #1, and Pathfinder 8th edition #2.

OD&D (1974) Holmes D&D -> AD&D First Edition Moldvay Cook D&D Mentzer D&D AD&D 2nd edition D&D 3rd edition D&D 3.5 D&D 4E i.e. Technically Essentials would be the 9th edition of the D&D game. The 10th, if you count the AD&D2 "Player's Options" as a new edition, which I wouldn't. BUT I...

Blood Moon Rising is an adventure designed by Peter C. Spahn, published by Small Niche Games, for 3 to 6 characters of 1st to 3rd level. It uses Labyrinth Lord (the B/X Moldvay/Cook D&D retro-clone) rules and stats, but is compatible with most old school D&D fantasy game systems. The product...

It was beyond APL+4, at which point the book specifically advised to rarely use these types of encounters since the death of a PC at the very least was close to unavoidable, and there was a fine line between a challenge and a frustrating encounter, or somesuch. It's from memory, but I'm pretty...

Sleep an autowin in the Moathouse? :confused: Now, when you reach that kind of silliness, you know it's time to let the point drop. Seriously. ;)

Yeah, that could work. Nothing's like good old communication between a player and his DM. :)

Too thick. Please crop the height further, from 26 px to about 15-20 px. Thanks. :)

Hey, Morrus. Could you shrink your sig a bit or something? All your posts are deformed, and I have a resolution of 1280x800 on my laptop. That's driving me nuts. Thanks. :D

... or a rock, for that matter. Absolutely! ;)

I don't see how other companies festering their own metaplots somehow excuses the fact that TSR was doing it. But here's my point: I think that TSR is particularly blamed for this because of D&D, and how metaplots clash against the old-school sandbox, the open alternate universe, and the notion...

Well, it's the point.
