Melf the consipiracy elf. Should his name be changed to Celf?

I really like the old colour of magic article from dragon magazine and like having unlimited cantrip magic, but only for atmosphere, I'm not sure how I feel about the attack cantrips of 5e, on the one hand, I love them because it makes the spellcaster feel magical since they don't have to resort...

I wouldn't like that in TSR editions, once they standardised the xp across the board I think I became less likely to care about xp. If I was going to use milestone levelling in 2e, I'd probably use the fighter xp chart and hand out the xp needed for a fighter to hit the next level. At least...

2e doesn't really use level titles so I've never really been up on the play with them. I did look at your spell slot table but I wasn't able to quickly tell if anything much had changed. I think I checked level 12 to see if you'd altered it, I missed that 1st-level spell slots had 5 instead of...

It was also a rule in BECMI (so, presumably also early BX), spell memorisation only took an hour so it could also be a case of looking back at older editions.

I want to say that I didn't move on to the latest version of L5R which I think went the way of special dice which I normally can't be bothered with, but then I realised I mostly bought the books of the previous edition to read through and haven't ever played it.

Oh right, I remember that. I think he saw a whale or a pot plant or something. I don't think I was ready for that to come up as an acronym in a dnd context.

What does this stsand for?

I hear the follow up book will be the Dilf's guide to Dragonlance.

Yeah, the teleporting fiends could be a nightmare. I remember a spell in 3e, not sure if it was in 2e, that locked down teleporting and was a requirement for fights like that.

I forgot about readying an action, I could see that being useful for archers covering the party from enemy spellcasters. That ogremage fight sounds like it would be very annoying.

I think initially when I started in 2e we use the chance to learn a spell but it was quickly discarded along with maximum spells known. It pretty much became "You've found a scroll, is it from a prohibited school? No? Then you can add it to your spellbook." There was probably downtime/costs...

Spell disruption was still in 3e but it was definitely easier on the casters as long as they put decent amounts of skill points into concentration they might be able to "save" against being disrupted or even set themselves up to cast defensively without having to worry about an attack of...

Damn birds, ruining it for the rest of us.

Is Tom Bombadil and important character? Like, I've heard he wasn't affected by the one ring but that he otherwise didn't do much.

I just barely count as GenX. I work with some other genX people and they're much closer to retirement than I am.

Seriously? That's insane. I can't imagine the amount of hate in their heart someone has to have to do that.

The kid playing Harry Potter has to be one of the most Harry Potter looking kids I've ever seen.

I've always felt Theodore Roosevelt had an iconic moustache.

When a paladin or ranger loses their status in 2e, they remain the same level and simply lose any excess xp which would, presumably put them 1 xp off from levelling. I'm not sure where I saw it or which edition it was from but I also recall systems setting their xp at the halfway point, this...
