I had a discussion with Gary on this very forum. I had some ideas about Greyhawk that I was discussing with the group and Gary came on, adding to the discussion with a bunch of back and forth as we fleshed it all out. I was, I have to say, a bit starstruck.

I reroll initiative every round, but because I play through Roll20 I just have a simple macro in place to automatically reroll initiative for all combatants at the start of each round. It rewards those with high dex or who build a high init character, it adds a bit more randomness to spell...

Why was it controversial? I'm thinking I probably ran it way back in the depths of time, but I don't really remember. I'm starting to wish I'd kept all my old stuff instead of giving it to new gamers.

I remember that psionics existed, but it was rare. You were more likely to find a monster with psionic powers than a humanoid.

Still not available in my local gaming store in New Zealand :(

Physical copy not available in New Zealand yet. My FLGS says they have been told soon. But the Roll20 version is great and it allows me to share it with my players.

That's without even starting on the troll-meat economy.

A THREE legged stool? Luxury. Back when I were a lad, stools only had one leg, and that leg pointed upward.

Ah, a grognard. Nice.

Here's mine, in case it is of interest: Roll20 - Virtual Tabletop for Playing D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, TTRPGs

How do you play him? I have not decided on how I will do it yet.

I really enjoyed Empire of The Ghouls. Thoroughly good, except it dragged right at the end and the players had had enough before it concluded. Too much underdark. My suggestion. If someone gets downed by a ghoul, then all ghouls break off from what they are doing and eat the body (except for...

Depends on how fluent you want to be. I was able to learn enough greek in two weeks to be able to have basic communication and get around Greece without too much hassle. I would not have been able to have a proper conversation, but I could communicate.

No particularly exciting update from me as I've been out with covid for a few weeks and we had to cancel a couple of other sessions because of life. We have made our way through the temple and are now down in the crypt. All very old-school dungeon crawl with one near TPK and lots of fun. I have...

My ideal combat is one where: Combat begins The players realise that this combat is not gonna be easy The players start to think that they are going to be wiped out The characters are almost wiped out, with at least two characters getting knocked out The characters pull through at the end, and...

A necromancer would halve the time needed and have advantage on the check.

I would make it that the wizard would need to take an hour to perform a ritual to combine speak with the dead and sending, and then pass an arcana check at DC15. This is because combining spells on the fly is complicated and would take research and time to get correct.

I'd like to see a big campaign for Eberron. That would put me firmly in my happy place.

I've never been too fussy about gods, and Oerth was my first world. That means that every other world has had some Oerth deities in it, as it is easier for me to use them than learn a whole new pantheon. The good ones from each pantheon stick and so now I have a real mishmash. The demon lords...

Going off topic, but I'll just post this. I saw this on reddit a while ago - an alternative map to Khorvaire in Eberron which is much better for seafaring:
