    AD&D 2E Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play AD&D 2E? How Was/Is It?

    + Items may be a complication but for whatever reason it was never an issue in our minds. We knew lower AC was better, and this magic ring gave you a +2 benefit, so it lowered your AC by 2. Weird, I'm sure, but it made perfect sense. However, iirc even TSR thought they should change AC to...

    Critical Role's Campaign 4 Opens With a Funeral and Plenty of Intrigue

    Oh ha wow, the earlier comment had said that there wasn't a lot of exposition- or maybe I misread it and there was a lot of exposition but it was all presented by the players?

    IS Your GM Out To Get You (Serious)

    Where do you get DND monsters for WHFRP? Do you make them or do you have some useful resource? And how did you land on using whfrp for DND adventures?

    D&D General Oh Please give me some Happy Backgrounds!!

    It's true- one might ask "well they might want to travel, but do they want to constantly risk their lives like adventurers do?" Well at times in our own past, war was seen as a grand adventure. So one could certainly grow up happy, devouring tales of adventure and exploration and righting...

    What rpg system would you use for a 60+ session fantasy campaign?

    I'd like to say Dungeon Crawl Classics, but not sure on that right now. I gotta say, I am so tired of running high-level 5e, so unless I started using my E9 rules I can't say I'd want to do it with 5e again; I've already run so many 5e games of 50+ sessions. The only one that I wasn't tired of...

    D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

    It's funny, we moved to 3.5 from 3e almost immediately, it was just seen as a flat-out improvement by our gaming groups. Not the same with 5e24! BUT it's also, what, 20 years later? So we're definitely different players/consumers/DMs as well- hard to tell.

    D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

    I was wondering about this- what're the primary differences between 14 and 24, if you discount character options like classes, feats, and origins, as well as spells? What states "I'm playing 5e14" vs "I'm playing 5e24" if not those character options and spells? 5e24 has different stealth...

    D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

    I read OP's question "what version 'or its equivalent'" as offshoots like ToV/A5E etc. Or, more likely, your post has gone entirely over my head 😅

    D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

    Primarily A5E, so I voted 5e14. Also some occasional OSE.

    Brian Colin Helps Vast Grimm Escape Stasis

    I never heard of Vast Grimm, though I've heard of or played a few other Borg offshoots. What's Vast Grimm's deal?

    D&D General Beadle & Grimms Forgotten Realms Premium Map Collection

    I knew dragonborn weren't "native" because I was around when they first became a thing in 3e, but I didn't know orcs were from another world in FR.

    D&D General Beadle & Grimms Forgotten Realms Premium Map Collection

    I adore those first two maps, but I'm a sucker for isometric maps re: the second map. Are those in the FR books or are they B&G exclusives?

    D&D General Dumb Idea: Hit Points As Ablative Plot Armor That Doesn't Regenerate

    It's a fun thought experiment OP. Has someone suggested HP per level, instead of per "lifetime?" It all gives new meaning to "I was only one week from retirement..." :'D

    We really need a AI tag

    Would it be for any topic that concerns/includes AI? What do you have in mind?

    ChatGPT lies then gaslights reporter with fake transcript

    I'm reminded of a video some librarians made, a comedic skit about going to a library in the future and being asked if you wanted a standard book (written by AI), or an organic book (written by a human). The waiting time for an organic book was year(s). Wish I could find it, my wife shared it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best D&D 5e alternate ruleset?

    They can't add content that isn't in the SRD, and only the first few gpgs are in it.
