I like the Realms. The gods and their organizations from the 2e god books are great material to draw on. I find the Red Wizards as D&D Stygian sorcerers very evocative in their various incarnations, 1e pulp Conan 2e High magic magocrats, 3e evil magical merchants, and even 5e undead dominated. I...

Not really clear at all. They get an extra three weapon proficiencies and two non-weapon proficiencies when they first become a Knight of the Rose at level 4. It says they advance more slowly than others because of their greater training but they advance farther than others. The only mechanical...

All I can think of for Gygaz and thieves is someone in his campaigns was amazingly effective as a thief and he felt he needed to counter them, hard. Or they were super annoying to him and these were rulings made in pique that then stuck. I have heard zero stories along those lines though...

Which is weird because he also seemed to really like them narratively. He was a big Lieber fan and made his big protagonist for the Gord the Rogue novel series an ultra competent Gray Mouser type thief.

In addition to those 1e Dragonlance Adventures has Knights of Solamnia that require going through two levels of cavalier variant Knights of the Crown to become Knights of the Sword, and then to qualify for Knights of the Rose you need to have gained at least two levels as a Knight of the Sword...

To make it work you need to make a number of judgment calls on the ambiguities. Is it a single class so you start off as a human or half elf first stage bard which is like a fighter but with bard prerequisites and weapon and armor and alignment limitations and you must switch to second stage...

I find as a player and as a DM that I enjoy a mix of familiar and new in things like monster stuff. As a DM I generally mix core MM stuff most everybody knows with 3rd party stuff only I have. So when I was running my 5e conversion of the Iron Gods AP the gangs of Scrapwall included humans and...

Poor Issac. I liked the actor in Shadow and Bone and was looking forward to seeing more of him here.

I used 4e monster solo/elite/normal/minion rules in my 3.5 and pathfinder 1e and 5e games. That would probably be my current favorite cross system rule. I remember throwing an alien NPC from palladium into a 1e game, full mechanics like he got parries while the PCs had regular AC, he had a 6d6...

Roleplaying is not definitionally playing others, the role can be yourself in an imagined scenario. A character can be a lot of yourself and still be playing. How much you make a role yourself seems to me just a matter of taste.
