    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    I don't think it specifies one way or the other or give anything that would suggest one way or the other. I believe a DM has to decide whether it makes more sense for their game either narratively or for game flow purposes which works better for them, to have mages taught by their training...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    You are not alone. My reaction to it becoming a standard of the party cleric’s was why did 5e give core clerics an ongoing high damage big area of effect that moves with them? Shouldn’t they be designed to generally buff and heal and divine? Now they have a low level more effective blade barrier...

    Undead Origins

    You might be interested in checking out something like Frog God Games' Tehuatl for a systemless mesoamerican fantasy setting, as well as 5e, Pathfinder 1e, and OSR adventures and bestiaries. Also possibly something like 3.0 Aztecs, Empire of the Dying Sun or GURPS 3e Aztecs. The famous...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best third party campaign books - recommend me some

    I recommend changing the title to campaign adventures to avoid confusion with campaign settings.

    D&D General The Player's Quantum Ogre: Warlock Pacts

    Role playing does not have to mean playing someone else’s created role or their idea of the role. Playing your idea of a role you choose is still roleplaying.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Lieber is huge for D&D too. Greyhawk is a D&D version of Lankhmar, down to powerful thieves and assassins’ guilds being politically important. The Gray Mouser is a big influence on Gygax’s thieves with swords, sling usage, backstabbing, and even scroll usage with mishaps and backfiring.

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    If you can find a 1e reference to it I would be interested. I don’t remember such a limitation.

    I have the PDFs from when they were on drive thru. I think the new company is called something like Quimbleys and they still sell them on their own site. Mostly they focus on the board game stuff now though. Edit looks like the relationship fell through this year and the quimbley site is down.

    I played in a Savage Tide pbp game here, it was fun. 3.5 high fantasy pirates and demons.

    Tell Us About Your Pirate Campaign(s)

    I ran a Death in Freeport pbp game here with a big pirates theme. It was a heavily house ruled 3.5 with some of the house rules to make 3e more swashbucklerry and less plate armor tanky in incentives. The one I remember most was giving everybody their reflex saves as adding on to their dex bonus...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    I haven't checked but I would expect they are rarer on the random item generation charts as well being on one of the multiple 1e miscellaneous item subtables compared with the single rings table. Plus they were not in B/X like rings of protection +1 were so no Keep on the Borderlands early...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    "Armor class below 10 is not possible except through cursed items. Armor class above 2 is easily possible due to magical bonuses and dexterity bonuses. To determine a “to hit” number not on the charts, project upwards by 1’s (5% increments), repeating 20 six times before continuing with 21 (Cf...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best third party campaign books - recommend me some

    For Freeport, there is only the Death in Freeport conversion for 5e, but if all you want is the story ideas and D&D beats the Pathfinder 1e Return to Freeport and the 3.5 Black Sails and the Trilogy follow up 3.0 Hell in Freeport and 3.5 Crisis in Freeport provide a bunch more. Hell and Crisis...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best third party campaign books - recommend me some

    Northlands Saga stuff from Frog God appeals to me the most of their 5e stuff, though they have not converted the entire saga yet that they have in Swords & Wizardry and Pathfinder 1e. If you like the darkness of the Ghoul Empire one you might also like The Blight from Frog God. For more dark...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best third party campaign books - recommend me some

    I like the 5e Cthulhu D&D adventure paths that were originally put out by Petersen Games. They have four part ones that are themed around Mi-Go, Yig, Tsathogua, Ghouls, and Hastur (and I think an all in one single big one about Dopplegangers/possibly Shoggoths?). Dark World is the Mi Go one and...
