    D&D General Past and Future of D&D at GaryCon, w Dan Ayoub and Luke Gygax

    Man I loved getting more HP or just 1 new spell when I leveled in AD&D (and OSR). Meant you lived longer. My modern player taken back to Old School loved it to. Heck I'd say they were more excited.

    D&D General Past and Future of D&D at GaryCon, w Dan Ayoub and Luke Gygax

    I took a group of 5E players and had them play AD&D. All but one liked it. One guy said he felt like what he did actually mattered. He usually played a Fighter. Which yeah, AD&D you needed people in the front lines taking and giving damage. Not so much now. The magic users, cleric and...

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Coming From Luke Gygax & WotC

    I play OSR because I want a less bloated game that's not so pro-player survival. I say this as someone who is currently running (and enjoying) Daggerheart where the players literally cannot die unless they want to. D&D is just too much and too fluffy. I honestly can't say I'd ever run...

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Coming From Luke Gygax & WotC

    That mended rift came full of cash, I'd bet. Glad they've made up. Good to see Gygax names on D&D again.

    WotC WotC Winter 2026 D&D Community Survey

    Im not saying they shouldnt earn money, I'm not an idiot and I know how the world works. But I also know a Corp is in it for the bottom line and not for players happiness / whats best for the consumer. Yes, both can happen but at the end of the day money comes first. That's the real world.

    WotC WotC Winter 2026 D&D Community Survey

    “Do you trust WotC to do right by you” “No.” “Why not?” “I don’t trust any for-profit company. Corps are not your friends.”

    As someone who bought a TON of 3rd Ed Unofficial/3rd party stuff that just collected dust, I never to rarely buy 3rd party material anymore for anything.

    Vampire the Masquerade: Love the setting but not the system

    I was going to say VtM fixes a couple of issues I had with old WoD but I see that’s not your issue. Perhaps WoD D20? It’s certainly a thing.

    SD is a odl school style enough where having enough PCs/Hiringlings to fill gapes is needed. Need more front line beef but only 1 PC Fighter? Hireling. No Wizard or Cleric? Hireling. Etc Horses with saddlebags and/or a cart/wagon holds all the stuff they need instead of having to trek back...

    My Changing Thoughts on Science Fantasy Games

    Shadowrun is my fave Magic + tech setting. Used to lament the crappy system. Luckily Anarchy exists!

    OSR Castles&Crusades Interview

    I bought the retro style box set and was missing rules etc. I had to look up a full book to get all the info I actually needed to play. An amazing oversight on a rather nice product.

    Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons Teases Ravenloft Content for Upcoming Expansion

    Like after how they've handled most things not Faerun (and Ravenloft I guess) I think i'd fear more content for other realms. I'd love more Dragonlance but after their first shot at the property, eh let it stay a one and done.

    Do you go in RAW 100%?

    Absolutely. I like to show them how it's done old school. I don't even ask I just go RAW and worry of they liked it later.

    Just discovered Inspirisles. A TTRPG that helps teach sign language (to cast spells)

    It arrived. Digest sized: about 200 pages. It’s cute. Kids gain powers and go fight the fantasy evil. Cute art something all ages can enjoy if you get in the headspace. Looking forward to reading it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mearls has some Interesting Ideals about how to fix high level wizards.

    I know WotC wouldn't want to split the fans but I think D&D could use a new "Basic (BECMI)" system. Trim the fat. Simplify. Like there is regular ultra crunch Shadowrun and then there is Shadowrun Anarchy (new 2E!) which is still SR but loses the ultra crunch and plays 500% better. On one...
