    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Looks like it. I wonder if there is more than $15K in legal fees for the trustee and whatever creditors there are.

    D&D General Maps, Maps, Maps! Dungeons, Ruins, Caverns, Temples, and more... aka Where Dyson Dumps His Maps.

    Very cool! The first thing that came to mind is "where is their sextant? Their compass or sunstone? Their navigational tools might be quite interesting indeed."

    I'm making a D&D & Pathfinder setting inspired by Ancient India

    Looking forward to it! Are garuda going to be featured as a playable race?

    D&D General Less is More: Why You Can't Get What You Want in D&D

    I assure you, sir, if anyone can handle the crunch it is KANT!

    D&D 5E (2014) Homebrew: How to modify Shield spell?

    Most of the complaints I've read are solved by not allowing the spell to be cast while wearing armor.

    What keeps uninterested players showing up each session?

    Many people need something physical to do to keep their hands busy and minds free. One of my players crochets or needlepoints, another rolls three d20s in their hands. I have had players read their phone to look up rules, pass the time until their turn, focus on something concrete to shut out...

    "The term 'GNS' is moronic and annoying" – well this should be an interesting interview

    Cool. I was f-t-f with some of his group at University. Not a long time, but I playtested some of his earlier works. Neat guy. Cheers!

    Huh, me too. Did you know him in the North or the South?

    D&D General Effect of Druids on Scientific Knowledge in your Campaign?

    I just listened to a podcast about the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793 in Philadelphia. In short, the Haitian Rebellion had started and many refugees as well as expected trade vessels had landed in Philadelphia. It was also an unusually hot summer. The ships brought with them the mosquitoes that...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Well, mice have been known to roar on rare occasion. Mouse-cholered? On second thought, he is following the plotline. Just ineptly. Nevermind! :)

    Campaign Inspired Art

    Delightful! Any advice on coaxing out images you want? Or is it largely trial and error?

    D&D General Re-Loring Monsters

    Brownies and goblins are fae that are created from the dreams and nightmares of children, respectively. When they are killed they disappear in a puff of smoke and wake up in faerieland. It's a long walk back to the waking world, and this makes them cranky. At around 3rd level, the party...

    D&D 5E (2014) What I Don't Like About Subclasses, and Potential Solutions.

    Ah, excellent! Forgive me, I am sometimes humor impaired when not face to face. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) What I Don't Like About Subclasses, and Potential Solutions.

    Which is why I enjoy tacos? Not sure your point. I like prestige classes. Some aren't written well.

    D&D 5E (2014) What I Don't Like About Subclasses, and Potential Solutions.

    I've come to dislike subclasses, but find them doable. I greatly prefer prestige classes as a way to specialize if the generalist aspects of the base class do not satisfy. I also like feat trees, but that seems to lead to 100s of feats that say either "+1 to this" or "perform this one thing from...

    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Magimarts

    I don't remember 2e, but I recall that in 1e only fighters can benefit from STR > 16. But, I may be misremembering.

    D&D General What Classes Would You Add to D&D?

    I'd split the fighter into Armiger (Hvy Armored slugger), Skirmisher (Lt Armored mover), Longbowyer (Missile specialist). Some sort of fighter/mage in the image of the B/X elf, although not specifically that.

    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Magimarts

    Not really. It's not that great unless a) you need to carry a lot of stuff, or b) you're a fighter. If you are a fighter, it just brings your damage more in line with what is expected at a given level. I believe, but can't really prove, that is was one of the "Essential Two" of 1E fighter...

    Ken Burnside on how screwed Asmodee is

    Wow. As in $2.1 billion? That's a lot of debt, investment, whatever to handle. And the game company received all of the debt when that deal fell through? It amazes me that it's legal to move debt around like that, but I'm not in that field. I'll have to check the LFGS to see if there are...
