    AD&D 1E Should Gold Dragons always be LG and Black Dragons always be CE?

    Even the 3E monster manual says there can be exceptions (albeit very rare) to “Always.”

    Thanks for clarifying.

    Plenty Of Time To Die: A Shadowdark Review

    Can you clarify what you mean by soulless? Is it the language used? The rules themselves? The setting? A combination? Something else? Note that I haven't read Shadowdark as such and don't run it, but have watched Shadowdark video content/reviews.

    D&D General What got you to try D&D?

    As a kid I read lots of non-fiction children’s books on medieval warfare, knights, vikings, Norse mythology and dinosaurs, so I was pretty primed for fantasy.

    D&D General What got you to try D&D?

    I discovered the Fighting Fantasy game books at my local library. One day in that section I found Elmore’s dragon staring at me from the Mentzer red box and I was sold before I knew what I was looking at.

    Realistic sword fighting?

    Make sure every fight is rightly ended by a pommel throw.

    Aliens: Yes Or No?

    Then again, that's like concluding whales don't exist after investigating a single teaspoon of water pulled from the ocean.

    Which franchise of three or more works has the highest ratio of hits to misses?

    I think they have serious flaws and things I hate about them, so I can see why others dislike them. But overall I did enjoy them both as well. Prometheus is my guilty pleasure.

    Which franchise of three or more works has the highest ratio of hits to misses?

    I'll agree the 3rd one wasn't as good as the first two, but I still think all 3 alien movies ever made are good. I'm just glad they stopped instead of doing silly stuff like resurrecting Ripley or having space plot goo.

    Haven’t seen it, so could not vouch for it. :)

    Which franchise of three or more works has the highest ratio of hits to misses?

    All Evil Dead movies are good. (Or at least evil)

    D&D General Lethality, AD&D, and 5e: Looking Back at the Deadliest Edition

    That's actually pretty funny, because the wight's monster category is "enchanted", even though it shouldn't count as enchanted due to being vulnerable to silver. Lycanthropes are also listed as enchanted creatures, even though the spell description specifically mentions a werewolf as an example...

    D&D General Lethality, AD&D, and 5e: Looking Back at the Deadliest Edition

    In Rules Cyclopedia for Basic D&D, the description of protection of evil states enchanted creatures include monsters that can only be damaged by magical weapons. So that would include wights and vampires. And enchanted creatures cannot attack a person affected by the spell in melee. So this may...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Prepared too far ahead of time, so I forgot a lot of important things once the game started. The party are in a set of flooded catacombs where they are often waist-deep in water. In Pathfinder 2E, this means they have a -2 AC penalty due to being flat-footed, but I forgot about it, which made...
