I like what I'm hearing about the new starter set - something that allows for easy entry into the game. Really curious how they'll handle all the "humanoids" given the recent changes/reclassifications to other monster types. Given it's in a future take on KotB, I'm guessing the caves are now...

Obviously a law haiku is called for now. Off to see lawyer Specializes in fun law Why is he laughing?

Dungeon and Dragon magazines back in print.

This sounds like a person having a crisis moment. Pretty unstable stuff here. Not that I'm excusing it, just sounding more and more like a cry for help in a very bizarre way.

Starship Troopers meets Free Guy. Like it.

Most of Snarf’s posts as I read them:

I agree with Stalker in that if I’m running the Wizard, I’d shy away from spells that allow a save knowing an Ancient Dragon will have LR. Kind of meta, but these are also highly experienced characters that likely would have some knowledge about dragons. Upcast those magic missiles FTW!

I was being a bit facetious here, but don’t disagree with your statement. What I was really getting at is as a player, I love feeling like the odds are against us. Makes the high fives around the table after rolling that Nat 20 on your Charisma save all the more meaningful.

As a player, I wouldn’t mind. It allows a save (albeit it’s a dc24 charisma save). I enjoy battles that require a combination of sound tactics and luck. Obviously they would have won if they only had a bard (or monk)!

This was great, thanks for doing this. It reminded me of the thread from a few weeks ago regarding who/what you blame when your character dies. I voted The Dice, which was certainly the case for this unfortunate party - too little too late, but still a very close and exciting battle!

Karlach and Minty. Karlach is hilarious and Minty is too - in a darker, dryer way. Love both of ‘em.

BTW, today was the first day to pledge on Bakerkit. Comes with their playtest packet for Advanced Advantage 5e. Just backed it.

Monster Manual in Feb, Dragon Anthology (10 adventures) in Summer/July, new Starter Set (Heroes of the Borderlands) based on B2 (KotB) in Fall/October, and Forgotten Realms Players Guide and Campaign Guide at some point. in Winter/November. The upcoming new releases are on the front page of...

Yes, the books are going through final proofs at the printer, so it's release is pretty immanent. I'm most looking forward to Goodman's "Advanced Advantage 5e" rule set. Not sure it will release in 2025, but they have been doing internal playtesting and plan to release more info as part of the...

Yeah, as much as I want to get this, I'm going to hold off until its available on DriveThruRPG, where I can use my store credit. Saving up for the Goodman Kickstarters - I think Terror of the Underdeep starts up next week...

Just a heads up - that cost is not all in, print costs and shipping are not included. It's a coupon for PoD through DriveThruRPG: You'll receive one at-cost coupon each for both the hardcover copy of the White Box Cyclopedia and the PDF of White Box Cyclopedia, delivered via DriveThruRPG...

The last part is the best part - gear and treasure options for the corpses! Long has our party of murder hobos killed only to find there is no stuff to take…

Sounds like it's the S&W White Box with a bunch of optional rules/expansions (even though they say its not just that...). From the Kickstarter page: White Box Cyclopedia builds on that rock solid foundation, unifying the original Swords & Wizardry White Box rules with two hundred pages of...

I have this on my shelf and remember looking at it when I first bought it but never used it. Might need to dig it out and give it another look, along with the Hollow World box set (another one bought but never used).
