    When Combat Isn't Always *About* Combat

    Back in 2nd edition AD&D there was a Ravenloft scenario that I ran (I don't remember the name) where the characters had to go back into time to recover some magical Faberge egg type thing to stop something happening (again I forget what). They snuck into ancient Castle Ravenloft and recovered...

    How often do you play?

    Weekly. My group alternates Sundays. One Sunday I run my D&D campaign, and the other Sunday alternates being campaigns and systems. My FLGS also hosts one shot nights of D&D every other week, where I am currently converting the 1st edition PFS scenarios over to D&D 2024. If I wasn't getting...

    D&D General What would your "fourth core rulebook" be?

    For me, it would be a D&D 2024 version of this. Ultimate Equipment was probably the most used book during our long years of Pathfinder 1st. It had a large variety of mundane equipment (ignoring for the purposes of this that it had almost every magic item as well) and the really reduced equipment...

    D&D 5E (2024) Wrapping up first 2-20 2024 campaign this week, some of my thoughts

    I'm guessing I've missed it and running on older edition knowledge, but are rings not limited to two per character any more?

    D&D 5E (2014) Handling Morale Checks

    Wisdom save. Sorry, I played a lot of Pathfinder before coming back to D&D.

    D&D 5E (2014) Handling Morale Checks

    I remember 2nd edition had a morale score for monsters but I don't think I've ever seen that since. In my case I either decide for myself or if needs be make it a Will save to see if they run.

    D&D General Anyone else notice this?

    The modern versions of the game have to cover opportunities for all potential game styles and that is why it might feel out of touch. All the way back to 1st edition my games have always been more storytelling but without the excessive role-play. Locally we have a group that meets at my FLGS and...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Monster Should Have Made the Cut?

    Gem Dragons and Eye of the Deep (Aquatic Beholder). The main classics otherwise appear to be there. Hopefully we'll get more books later to fill in other lost classic monsters. Personally I'm not all the fussed by the "class" types... cultist, acolyte cleric...etc. Ditch those and put more...

    Jurassic Park RPG?

    If you want something for D&D5, I bought the PDF of this a few months back and they have a sequel due to go up on Kickstarter in March. Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5E is the Successor to AD&D 2nd Edition? How and How Not?

    Agreed. Not all their adventure paths were up to standard. A couple were truly bad for things like that. There was one I played (something of fire?) that locked you in a demiplane for 3 or 4 levels with no way to buy or sell anything and it made everyone just gnash their teeth. Badly written was...

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5E is the Successor to AD&D 2nd Edition? How and How Not?

    Paizo's adventure paths are not railroads but they are linear. Linear adventures/campaigns aren't bad as they still allow players to decide how they handle a situation and progress the story their table is telling.

    D&D 5E (2014) So 5E is the Successor to AD&D 2nd Edition? How and How Not?

    The only edition that feels anything like 2nd edition was 1st edition and even then 2nd was better by a long way. Since then each edition has become it's own thing. If anything 5th feels like the offspring of 3rd and 4th but without the "bad" elements.

    Jurassic Park RPG?

    I have the three books released for the Primeval RPG (A dinosaur based time travel-ish British show from the mid-00's) and that would work well for a Jurassic Universe RPG. I've often considered doing so myself.

    How likely are you to use D&D for your next game?

    From here on in, I'm with 5th 2024 for my fantasy games. I don't get to RPG as much as I used to so I'm sticking to the new edition.

    D&D General Which edition did Turn Undead the best?

    I prefer the D20/Pathfinder version. The rules are simpler and easy to understand. No fiddly tables.
