Try driving from the South End of Florida to the West end of the Panhandle. That will take a bit of a drive. Or drive through Texas. That drive always seems longer than the Drive through California to be honest, even if it's somewhat similar. All the states in the West are huge/massive...

Perhaps, but those companies which have had sets which have had character creation have done better overall with their RPG sales than those that have not. Granted, it may just be that they are bigger players, or their appeal in general is better, but a prime example of Paizo and their Beginner...

The original Star Trek had quite a few of those 1v1 battles. Just off the top of my head there was the Doomsday Machine, the Ultimate Computer, the Volian Web, the Balance of Terror, that one with the alien that looked like a Kid (can't recall the name), and others which had the threat of...

I really dislike the trend companies have these past few years of merely putting out a starter set with pregenerated characters. Sure, it gives you a taste of the game, but really doesn't let you sample it. By that I mean, you really can't sample a game until you have the power to create your...

In a corner, under the carpet, tucked under the baseboard or right next to it, behind a cabinet. A second one, in the actual light fixture (not just in the light, the fixture itself).

I haven't been in the conversation, so this wasn't directed at me. I do not really prefer the direction they have taken with race in D&D recently. It's probably because I see the differences in "race" more like a thing between species, or even more, like genus (if we go through other 'races'...

Ah, yes, you are right. I had two things that messed me up on that call. In 1e, specialists get more attacks at higher levels for using a Bow. They also get this in 2e, but it didn't come about in the PHB. (I can't find it in the Complete Fighter, either, so I'm unsure of exactly when it...

I'd have to go back and look, (and maybe it's only 1e), but I could have sworn they got 2 attacks at levels 1-6, 3 attacks at levels 7-12, and 4 attacks at levels 13+ in AD&D for bow specialization. (2 attacks was the default, but the increase at level 6 was only for those who specialized in...

To a Point. In B/X there were very short rules on what to do after they reached the maximum level listed in the books. One of those items dealt with Fighters. I don't have it in front of me this instant, but I believe it stated that after level 15, fighters got one additional attack every 5...

I was just hypothesizing how to toss Dragonborn or something like them into the setting period (not that they would be available for player usage or not...just trying to figure how they could have a horror type Dragonborn race in there that could reflect the true horror of the setting). These...

The most fitting type of dragon born would be with a Dracolich. Make them more a living horror as Dracolich Spawn or something where they are basically the living skeletons of Dragonborn, empowered with magic and tortured by an eternity of hunger, a hunger they cannot sate (because they have no...

If you make a TV show where you make it so only those who are fans can understand what's going on, that's a key to failure. It doesn't matter if it's in an established universe or not, you still have to do the world building because you cannot just simply expect every veiwer to know the world...

You know, if this wasn't Star Wars or Star Wars themed, I might actually be really excited for this. But, knowing it's supposed to be a Star Wars universe film...it just doesn't jive with me in the right way. Which is dumb and stupid, I know...but...there it is. I think that if it were not...

Good question they brought up. Munich could be a good film to follow it up with. Sad story.

Pride/Lust - Rich man has stolen a bunch of property and land from villagers, resulting in homeless roving band of gypsy that are stereotyped to be entertainers, theives, and cut throats (all false stereotypes of what they really are). They need to find proof of this and restore the land to the...

Maybe, or thinking that this group of adventurers would last less than 12 hours in Ravenloft. One trip to the village and they'd either have to slaughter the entire village as the villagers take them (most rightly) for the monsters they are and want to execute them on the spot, or they die from...

For me, it depends on the GM/DM. If they are a good GM, it is not a problem and flows naturally. If it is not a good GM...well...that's where you start to miss being the GM.

D&D ran as an actual horror game. Not many know how to pull it off, but when they do...it's probably one of the better ones. It helps to have a critical injury table that's more open though (roll a 1, there's a critical injury...whether in combat or not...though you could make it so that the...

I didn't get the new printings as I thought the changes would be minimal (plus, I was out of country at the time their kickstarter was going on for most of the time and was unable to even access that kickstarter if I had wanted to due to my location), so I wasn't too concerned about trying to...

So, in 0 AD&D a 1st level Fighting-Man is a Veteran. Veteran does not indicate that this is a zero. It does not indicate it's a hero, but it's definately someone who has been trained and is somewhat better than a zero. It's normally someone who has some experience and wiser in their career...
