So....I disagree with the review, but probably for different reasons than what you may think. 1. I liked the Hobbit Trilogy of movies. Why? See Below. 2. If you are a True Lord of the Rings novel fan, you cannot like the movie trilogy by Jackson as something that represents the books. It...

My thought is that it basically did come out by those who were pretty heavily involved with 3e and 3.5, someone even mentioned it in this thread already. That game is basically Pathfinder 1e.

In D&D, if you want more lethal firearms, it's pretty simple. Using modern fire arms, you give them damages such as 1d4, 1d6, and 1d8. The difference is that your character has their base HP and the rest of their HP. Base HP is what you roll at 1st level. Humans are 1HD creatures, and as...

My two nephews played Rugby. Quite the sport. They were pretty large kids, so it fit them well.

I probably know less about Cricket than @Morrus knows about Football. I admit, I've never followed Cricket at all, and don't even know the rules for it. I know it's MASSIVELY big in India, and I think it has a decent following in Australia. It has some popularity in Great Britain in some...

Much of this post is weird. So, to extrapolate...I'll write the story of the longest name of a game in D&D that no one ever uses...and why. Back then, we did both. I've explained this numerous times, but I guess I'll explain it again. Then, with OD&D...a character could do all that. They...

That looks like Steve Jackson and Friends! I could swear that's them. Big gamers. One of the best groups to play! Looks like some sort of interview they gave. Makes sense considering some would consider him (and Ian) the father of D&D in the UK (not all, some....). Of course, that's when...

So, Manchester City's Club (Football) has been under investigation and was charged a few weeks ago. Today I read that some are hypothesizing that it's trophies could be taken away, it could be kicked out of the Premier League, or even have it as drastic as being kicked out from playing at...

So, a new kickstarter is out...that for Lone Wolf: Adventures in Magnamund. This one uses the rules to Dragonbane. WE've previously had the Lone Wolf RPG (D20) which had the Darklords and Magic of Magnamund Supplements. Then we had the Lone Wolf RPG which was more based on the books combat...

I enjoyed it when I saw it. I saw it some weeks ago with grandkids. One of them knows everything there is to know about the Transformers universe and was informing me of what was right, what was wrong, what differed, what didn't, what was associated with the American version vs. the Japanese...

Even without Digital sales I think the number that the PHB is the fastest selling is probably legit. I may question some of the other numbers, but I don't have any difficulty believing that. HOWEVER, part of that is probably not looking at the numbers that have sold through, but at the...

Castles and Crusades is probably even MORE compatible with 5e stuff than it was with 3e, 3.5, Pathfinder, or AD&D! Part of that is probably because 5e (some would claim they just ripped it off of C&C) uses a very similar dynamic as C&C with it's skill challenges and the variable range (bounded...

The original Kingmaker AP volumes (6 in total) were released for Pathfinder 1e, which isn't really convertible to 5e. They also are hard to find and can be extremely expensive when you do. This Hardback was originally made for Pathfinder 2e which isn't compatible with 3.5 overall. It also is...

Abomination Vaults by Paizo. Abmonation vaults hardback for 5e Kingmaker by Paizo. (Note you need both to run it in 5e). Kingmaker AP Hardback Kingmaker 5e bestiary

I can only offer personal opinion in this. I think Cyberpunk 2020 did a good job of showing the lethality of combat, but also the lethality of firearm combat. Star Frontiers (alpha dawn) also had a good way of showing escalating damage from lasers and such with energy usage. Some of the...

I'd also say, personally, try to maximize your usage of all actions. Don't let it go to waste. Especially with spellcasters. It's easy at times to just use a spell that uses some actions, but then forget to do anything else. Think of something to do

Well, traditionally, that's what Witches and Warlocks did. Faust himself, kind of an evolution of that idea...isn't shown to be all that successful in the end (well, if you discount the VERY end with the intercession in Goethe's rendition). Lovecraft also shows examples where the end result...

Traditionally, since the 19th century, selling your soul for power has always been seen as some foolish faustian stupidity. Warlocks would seem to be the epitome of this. Their prime stat is Charisma...not Wisdom.

Not necessarily....you can make them unique in some way. For example...for Half-Elves you could say something like... Ability to blend in - Being part of two different cultures has made it so that you've had to learn to adapt on the fly in many occasions. Because of this when you are...

Or they make a bargain with some shadowy figure they do not really understand. Something otherworldly has offered them power...and they took it while in ignorance who what and who they were really dealing with. Only as they have increased in power and knowledge (level 3) do they finally...
