    D&D General Have Some Class

    Hi En Worlders! So I was reading through some AD&D material and noticed that "era" of D&D really starting bringing us a variety of new classes. My favorite comes to mind and we also had the "kits" (1e & 2e) that could be considered new sub-classes. It could be argued that the kits paved the...

    Blood or Spaghetti Sauce?

    Hi TTRPGers! So I have a confession to make: I like a little gore in my gaming. Even if it's D&D or something rules-lite (e.g. Barbarians of Lemuria or Freeform Universal), I like when the violence gets a little lively. Especially when an attack takes those last few points of life ... IMO...

    GMs: When Is Enough Enough?

    Favorite Superhero TTRPG

    Greetings earth beings. There are numerous tabletop ropleplaying games in the Superhero category. I've run or played a lot of them and every time a new one comes out, of course, I at least read a review or watch an actual play of that game. Comic books were one of my childhood things so I'm a...

    Bringing Back the Fighting Man

    Well met. With OD&D there's a rule: "A fighting man can get 1 attack per HD/level on creatures of 1 HD or less. All those attacks are as if he himself is 1st level." Now I never played OD&D (I started with Basic), but this rule should be IMO standard for Fighters. Every other class has...
