Animal adventures has dog and cats as player characters. There could possibly also be rats, foxes and other animals but the game only has those as NPCs. My wife has taken crib notes on that for my son's druid. A talking cat. No, not person cursed into animal form, but an Awakened cat that...

Nice find. I do seem to remember that the unpainted used to be significantly cheaper. However, since they have started aiming their products at collectors, the price of everything they do seems to have skyrocketed.

Agree with @Tonguez - the monk can run up/along surfaces, but is meant to end their turn on a horizontal surface or will fall. Those with a climbing speed don't need to worry about it and can just keep going up. The difference would be apparent with the likes of a 100 ft. cliff. Doing a move...

Got the same mini as @CharlesWallace, and painted myself too. I do prefer the squid look of the new Kraken mini, but would like it with more color. It might be worth it for me to pick up if they come out with an unpainted version so I can color it like I want.

page 230 of the 1E DMG would like a word with that...

Considering some of the bizarre societies that sprang up in the real world, yeah - I could see it working. (Maybe not for terribly long, but then again...) One of the things I've often wondered is if Goldmoon's mother (or father) might not have been a plainsman or she inherited her traits from...

No, Tasslehoff was me when I was 14 or so. I'm fine with Kender as they are because I could relate. And I'm someone who'd never steal or shoplift.

Hmm. Could be useful for any spell that has a range of "self" to bottle it into the bead and give to someone else. Something like Disguise Self or such.

Well, that's not the only time Beholders have been depicted as "cute". Dragon #156, May 1990 But I agree I'm not in favor of that X picture's style.

3E will never need a retroclone, it has the OGL/SRD. I'm not sure why there are so few attempts to reproduce 2E, the only one I know of is For Gold and Glory. Perhaps there is a derth of 2E product still available, and a majority of 2E contains background material that is valid regardless of...

Abeir was a retcon attempt to shoehorn in 4E's RealmShaking Event (TM) and explain the new races and other rule changes for that edition. I'd certainly be fine with discounting it completely, and it was the reason I went back to the original Grey box myself (I have a similar opinion of the...

A lot of putting Al-Qadim, Kara Tur, Maztica, Horde and such subsettings in/on FR was likely a marketing thing. I run Al-Qadim and Kara Tur divested of connection to FR, setting them on their own worlds. I'd do the same for Maztica, but would have to change the Helmites and references to Amn...

It was a pun, I loved the show and was disappointed it got such bad treatment.

I suppose the wild die could come in use here - someone has to roll a complication on the Wild Die to trigger a follow-on of using a Force point. Or perhaps a character (any character, not just the one who is going to activate the Force point) needs to fail a roll that will result in severe...

It tanked? Which leads to another possibility - a vault containing the orignal movie reels for failed movies, or a storeplace for props of movies from "tanked" movies that are waiting to be used in other movies to save on the budget (Such as the old Backlot Tour graveyard at the old...

Keep what works, throw out the rest. Those at the table can determine what roleplaying is for them, what's all put in the book is just advice and ideas that provides a platform to work on, and a suggestion how to make it fun.

I can't recall having issues with force points in the WEG games we played, but I can think of possibly two ways to put more control on their use: PALL OF THE DARK SIDE: At certain dramatic/climax points, death looms close and the light side of the force struggles to shine through...

While those 2E campaign worlds may have "failed" because TSR went too far into the weeds with product, to me the basic idea was sound - show the flexibility of the system and give examples of some of the wild and non-standard worlds you put in front of the players. That creativity feels missing...

I'd like to add that over the ages I've seen a lot of things that were designed to be consumed one way and actually used in a much different way. And that isn't restricted to D&D.
