    Conan also has a modern day Wolverine get sent back to Conan's time in a What If Marvel Comics story from the 80s. So eventually. :)

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk: The Shield Lands

    On that same note I think Tolkien's Middle Earth is also supposed to be set in a mythical past age of Earth similar to Conan.

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk: The Shield Lands

    He also has that one story where there is a brief appearance of a German(?) dimensional explorer from Earth, I believe. Can't remember the name of the character or story unfortunately.

    Conan is past, Dying Earth is future, Lankhmar is neither.

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    They asked a while ago for how people preferred to be paid, I believe it was something like paypal or a physical check for when it was done and refunds got calculated and paid out. I said check and have not heard back since.

    D&D General Is D&D-powered sci-fi having a moment?

    That's the main one, there are a couple other options too. Based off of Sword of Cepheus is a more streamlined (and cheap) Westlands. There is also Clash of Steel which is going for more dark fantasy, and Barbaric! which is going for more Conan Sword & Sorcery.

    D&D General Reincarnate is and has always been, weird.

    The OE version covers this a bit "If he comes back as a man, determine which class, and roll a six-sided die to determine which level in that class, and similarly check level for reincarnation as an elf or dwarf." Though it does not say how the class is determined (choice? random roll?) 1e is a...

    AD&D 1E Three Things that can't be Fixed in 1e AD&D

    For the big OP point of AD&D's reverse bell curve big impact ability score system I was quite unhappy with it by the end of 2e. The disparity between a 17 strength fighter and an 18 percentile one is significant. Gatekeeping of classes behind stat requirements was annoying. The rich get richer...

    D&D General What is your favorite Fighting Style in 5e?

    Interception. My paladin was able to bodyguard and support other characters using their reaction to get more done most rounds. The visual of parrying incoming blows was great and it viscerally felt like I was actively helping others (often the rogue, sometimes the warlock, or others). Much...

    D&D General Is D&D-powered sci-fi having a moment?

    When I finally got a PDF copy of 1974's OD&D I was surprised to see the sci-fi that was there from the beginning. OD&D Supplement II Blackmoor from 1975 also has the whole Temple of the Frog adventure with its sci-fi elements.
