    Do you use "voice acting" when you play?

    As a player it is generally me, a little bit influenced by a broad character concept. Some in my group are always in their own voice. Others do intense voice acting. One of my friends did a great thick accent through the whole campaign for her Russian mob character in a Shadowrun game. Another...

    Other D&D Variant Warriors and Warlocks: Mutants and Masterminds vs D&D

    I have played M&M3e with an Achilles themed character (invulnerability/toughness, a spear thingy, bunch of Charisma things). I own but have not played M&M 2e Wizards & Warlocks. I have played a bunch of D&D. In the M&M the biggest change for me was the damage save and death spiral versus D&D's...

    Hours actually playing RPGs, non-D&D?

    I rejoined my face to face group late summer which is doing a Cypher game, three hours(?) of actual gaming every two weeks but enough cancellations that it has only been like four games. My online weekly game in a homebrew system has been canceled a ridiculous number of times. We rescheduled...

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do you Play BECM/RC D&D? How Was/Is It?

    When you say you are cloning B/X instead of BECMI, as Labyrinth Lord and OSE did, it tells you it has stuff from the Basic and Expert Sets which are mostly replicated (98%) in the BE from BECMI, but nothing from CMI. No weapon mastery, no domain rules system, no immortality path, no advanced...

    Goodman Games is apparently losing/not renewing its Lankhmar license and their DCC Lankhmar product line looks like it is on a 50% off sale.

    Interested in checking out non-D&D fantasy "old school" ttrpgs

    Also be aware that if you go for the Mongoose Runequest interim editions (which have SRDs) know that lorewise it is set in a prehistory of the other Runequest Glorantha settings with a major Dragon empire and god learner ones heading to catastrophe conflict. The current RQ:AIG has huge statless...

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    I just stumbled across New Dimension Games' Pirates RPG line for historical pirating. No idea how it goes about tone or emphasis.

    D&D General Dnd and what has changed

    I can't tell if you are asking what has changed between AD&D and 5e or if you are asking what changed between 3e, 4e, and 5e. For the former: stats are standardized bonuses, +1 every two points above 10 instead of AD&D reverse bell curve. No class or race or level or alignment restrictions...

    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway? Part 4: Novels

    If you find it I'd be interested. I just checked the four MC annuals that collected everything new from Dragon and modules and no such elves there. The hardcover has the standard old main ones, high, gray, wood, aquatic, and drow. The rest of the appendices are specifically themed, the closest...

    numbered spell levels pre-D&D (comics history question)

    I vaguely remember numbered spell levels being mentioned in Roger Zelazny's Dilvish the Damned novel, which came out as a novel in 1982 but was a collection of previous Dilvish stories starting from the 60s (1965 being the oldest two). I remember Dilvish having learned something like 10th level...
