Bringing back THAC0.. kids these days need to improve their maths, and this was one of the best ways! I can take or leave Ascending AC, I like the 3e method of saves vs 5e, and would like saves to be used more exclusively than ability checks, for some skills or other non-combat checks. I...

I have a few kids, and setup a home server last year[dell OptiPlex/i5/15GB RAM, Lubuntu] - found a wonderful voxel game called Luanti (minetest), you can replicate minecraft, or play other games people developed. Minecraft was after my time, but my kids enjoy it, and after setting up a host on...

Talislanta 2nd ed. was my second RPG I got into, after ad&d 1e. pdf's are all free, check it out sometime. Talislanta Library – Talislanta

How does "roll to cast"/SD offer a solution to the "caster - melee disconnect" ? From what I recall reading in SD(24' maybe), a caster gets unlimited spells until you roll a bad number, then you need to rest.. so in theory you could never run out, or cast once and run out? Don't care enough...

EmpCho owns the rights to Arduin, and they are working on a new version, "Arduin Bloody Arduin" - https://empcho.com/free-stuff/ They have a free pdf of the "Compleat Arduin book 1" at the link. I've met the two owners Dave and George multiple times, great guys - said they got my back and gave...

Seems like an AI generated response, some telltale clues there.. and one is use of "em dash", another is.. words and sentences just don't make exact sense.. like the last sentence. /shrug. "untapped potential" well yeah, it was the naughty word back in '91/'94, then blunder after blunder...

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?

thanks for some info. ballz, guess i didn't make the cut lol

strict policy on generative graphics and text, I haven't seen that expanded on? (Sep 13, 2024) https://gamerant.com/hasbro-ceo-ai-use-confirmation-dungeons-and-dragons-magic-the-gathering/

Project Sigil, I had thought there was some speculation about an AI integration, and posibly an AI DM.

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...

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...

I do like the RC/BECMI though, rarely has our games gone to 36 & Immortal ranges :) //proud owner of 3 [retired] Immortal [handbook] characters.

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...

I have a bunch of the physical copies, but yeah I got those off the website a while back.. the high res ones are soo nice.

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...

I will take a look, thanks for the adventure tip - I usually run 'a little knowledge', every time lol

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.

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...

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...
