    Duergar & Daemons (Being a Sequel to An Adventure in Five Acts) [Final Update] [16 Nov 2025]

    Yes, eventually a number of sessions followed this series, which I'm still trying to write into a story. But it's complicated, and like this one, real life eventually intervened--though there is some sort of ending to it. After that, the campaign hasn't been resumed and it doesn't look like it...

    AD&D 1E XP Value for Monsters?

    Heh. Correct. That was me thinking of 2E being blinded vs 1E being blinded when wondering whether imposing to hit penalties would be worth xp. The whole thing is becoming a bit complicated at the moment. 🥵

    AD&D 1E XP Value for Monsters?

    What was I thinking!? Because I’m getting the feeling that I’m getting nowhere fast, I’ve started to think that using Appendix E as a starting point to try and find out what they were thinking when they made Appendix E may have been the wrong choice. Why? Well, for one thing, because it lists...

    AD&D 1E XP Value for Monsters?

    I'd be fine with any final results not corresponding to what Appendix E says, for that is inevitable anyway. But the problem with the triton vs the gelatinous cube is still that the first gets less xp for its blanket immunity to spells in general than the gelatinous cube gets for being immune to...

    AD&D 1E XP Value for Monsters?

    Sorry about the delay, but I've been trying to get my head around a new approach to the phenomenon of "special attacks" and how they are listed in the XPV table in the DMG and Appendix E, which may well have consequences for what, exactly, a "special defense" is, and how it should be rewarded...

    AD&D 1E XP Value for Monsters?

    Fair enough. :) Since I was trying to make sense of the immunities and resistances last, shall we try and see if we can do something with that? I think one of the biggest problems here is the fact that “magic resistance” is worth an EAXPA. Take, say, a triton leader with 4 HD (and no "magical...
