I am a long time user of the OGL from the 3.0 days. I actively lurked and participated in discussions on the open gaming foundation forums https://www.mail-archive.com/ogf-l@mail.opengamingfoundation.org/ IMO WOTC should not change the OGL at all. If they do they need to still honor (as in...

I am also interested. I don't have discord. You can email me scottcmetzger at gmail dot com I have played and DMed a lot of 3.5 but am looking forward to playing in a 5e game. Thanks, Scott

The abilities work off of Hit Dice. When you gain levels in Fighter or Wizard or whatever you gain Hit Dice. So, Yes a Fighter 10th level Half-Fiend will be able to cast Contagion (as well as other abilities) as a spell like ability. Whichever way ends up being closer to the original I suppose.

And... I go the opposite way. Every 'named' spell gets renamed to my characters name... Nabrun's Acid Arrow Nabrun's Magnificent Mansion Nabrun's Sword Nabrun's Forceful Hand

Pirate's Guide to Freeport or Freeport City of Adventure if you want a 'setting' book. Black Sails Over Freeport - The beginning and end is decent. The middle of it is a mess and should be completely re-worked. Original Freeport Trilogy - These are solid adventures. But starts at level 1 and...

I am currently running the 3.5 version. Not sure how 5e plays out, but in 3.5 it is easy to have a 5 minute adventuring day as most of the monsters are do not co-operate and their is not unified resistance. You should also consider what happens when/if the part gets the Demonomicon... Some...

I agree LG But... I picture him more of a the noble barbarian. In more than one episode he has a combat rage ability. Does 5e still restrict Barbarian's to chaotic alignment?

Just to throw some fuel on the fire... Is Worf from Star Trek NG Lawful or Chaotic and why? He has a code of honor yet his rage takes control of him at times...

I didn't read the whole thread, so I apologize if it has already been mentioned... internet, social media, and online availability of rules and alternate rules. 1e - We had Dragon Magazine and Tournaments. This resulted in very little cross-pollination of ideas and when it happened it was a...

githyanki - red dragons

Very true. This is why it is difficult to get a picture of how people played 1e or 2e. Everyone played it different... ignoring certain rules and adding home rules in other instances. By the time skills & powers came out I had given up playing D&D as it was too difficult to find a DM that ran...

At the time I used it most of it. Since I subscribed to Dragon there really wasn't a whole lot of completely new stuff, repackaged and updated, but not completely new. But... I must not have used it very much. Because my binding is still intact.

As usual the answer is a really good session zero. Try saying so everyone wants to play a DARK SUN campaign. Ok, what is your idea for a DARK SUN character. How does this race/class/spell list/feat make your character a DARK SUN character? Keep saying DARK SUN over and over as you pitch ideas...

You get something like the Xena and Hercules TV series. Easy way to make your own setting and easy for players to understand it. Maps, weather, moon cycles, calendar, food, architecture, and tech level all baked in and you don't have to invent them whole cloth or read a bunch of FR or...

1) I think having prices is a good thing. Purpose of the DMG and books is to aid the DM with running a game. It is very difficult to price magic items. If you ever want to trade, make, sell, or buy magic items in a game having suggested prices is a help to the DM. 2) Suggested guidance on...

1) Troup Play - yes, I remember doing this. Also, if someone died your new character started at level 1, even if everyone else was level 8. If you lived you just leveled up that much more quickly. 2) In general we used 4d6 drop lowest arrange as you like for PCs. I do distinctly remember...

I guess I am a grognard. Started playing around 80, maybe earlier. Mixed 1e and basic and then 2e freely. Had lots of house rules. Later in 2e I couldn't stand to play, I had to DM because I generally did not like the house rules that other DM's had. Also played original Traveller and a...
