    Undead should Undead should make the pc's pause, have a slight glimpse of fear, fatigue is barely a threat imho. What problems/issue are you trying to fix with your proposed change?

    WotC How much does Hasbro / WotC impact your feelings towards D&D?

    I say tiny/1 because I stopped played 5e, well before the OGL scandal. So I didn't leave 5e due to wotc/hasbro unscrupulous business practices, I left because the game didn't appeal to me. I have no plans to play 2024, I did read through a friends copy though. I did sign up for the AI D&D...

    D&D General How Often Should a PC Die in D&D 5e?

    A weird question to me, I don't expect anyone to die nor keep a tally by session/week/campaign, but poor choices and maybe poor dice rolls can end up with pc deaths. I roll in the open, or in the case of my pbp for the pc's to see - my physical dice and/or randomizer "dice roller" are usually...

    OSR What OSR System for Barrowmaze?

    Another vote for DragonSlayer - especially given the author connection and you have the pdf/?. I got to play DS with Giuseppe, and enjoyed it - but we already have a bunch of OSE books, and didn't need more books, some in our circle own the HC, and i have the pdf. I would find Shadowdark too 5e...

    D&D General Why Do You Prefer a Medieval Milieu For D&D? +

    I think the rules of D&D [any edition] fit better in a fantasy type setting, real Merlin, Conan, LoTR type stuff, the weapons and armor, magic.. artificer and warforge I usually ban from my games, doesn't fit my fantasy themes, now a plancescape world hopping setting, maybe spelljammer i'd use...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    I'm actually looking at running Talislanta 2nd ed. Had the books since the 90s, and finally hoping to do it, rebuilt my shelves during COVID, but needed to wrap up some 5e games.

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    Uh, there already is a group running with Dark Sun for 5e[ also OSE, 3.x, 4.x, PF 1&2, etc.] , they were at Origins and Gencon.. why do we need WOTC [to ruin it]?? The group even puts out D&D version agnostic adventures.. Permanent link for vr. Agnostic Dark Sun Discord: Join the Dark Sun...

    D&D General Let's list/complain about things we don't like

    Yes, we played 5e consistently for 10ish years, in and around Jan/ 2022 we finished Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden - moved to Old School Essentials, AD&D 1e & 2e, Mothership, Star wars d6, Ten Candles (Rethemed with Strahd/castle Ravenloft) past 2 years, with a single one shot 5e game...

    D&D General Let's list/complain about things we don't like

    That I homebrewed 5e so much(5e hardcore supplement), that it was better to just pick a different game like [D&D} Old School Essentials and add in a few things I liked from 5e. I capped stats at 18, rolled all HD, passed on feats [optional], ditched stat bumps, rolled for attributes, used...

    D&D 2E Blast from the Past - AD&D 2E Core Rules 2.0 (with Expansion)

    Anyone have a primer, insight on getting into the backend db of core rules 2 ? Wouldn't mind taking a look, might have MS Access on this machine.. i seem to remember poking around a long long.. long long time ago or that may have been the 3.x version by the monkies.. or both idk anymore ;)

    Shadowdark looks so good!

    So now that the game is out, what's your consensus.. what does it do better than 5e or say an OSR game like OSE ? 56 pages.. so not sure if you answered... ;0

    D&D (2024) The Problem with Healing Powercreep

    right.. the aim was 3-4 fights a long rest/burn resources, but with a short rest in between; those fights can be trivial. I started using time mechanics, you have 2 hours before something bad happens.. not all the time, but definitely can spice things up.. the party can maybe get one short rest...

    D&D General Stuff 5E Did Right

    2e saw it cut back & ultimately 3rd was the removal of mercenaries, hirelings, strongholds and domain play. 2e players, that wanted/used more likely had the 1e books anyway - 1e and 2e had some overlap in shelf space, I have 1e & 2e dmg's.. 1e is far superior in that content. 2e added Domain...

    D&D (2024) The Problem with Healing Powercreep

    Interesting to see the data, and then the other thread with how many fights before a long rest.. doesn't seem like the PCs are challenged that much? Is letting people stay at 0 so upright party members can beat the mobs senseless still the general practice?
