The one I remember was annoying because a third person instigated it. Most of the people at the table were adults, plus a couple of teenagers. One of the teenagers was the cousin of the other, and not exactly the smartest lightbulb in the pack. Before the game got started he was talking about...

Indeed, part of me feels I should be slightly offended, since I am old enough to remember THAC0 semi fondly, but I find him quite endearing. Enough that I might see if I can get hold of him, and I don't really do miniatures.

I use GM, but mostly because my actual initials are DM (or really DRM which causes me some amusement when I see discussions on the rights and wrongs of DRM). Mostly so I can truthfully say I am a DM who is a GM, because my sense of humour has not progressed since I was 14.

I am as old as D&D, and have been playing for 36 years. My first ever game was 1st ed. AD&D and for a long time 2nd ed. was my preferred version of the game, though now it is 5E. I had a reasonable affection for the real TSR, and was saddened when it went under and was bought out by a CCG...

I think it is going to be either FR or Exandria. Regarding Exandria the book is probably slightly a year out at this point, and the 3rd campaign will probably start in September, so about a year before the new book would hit the shelves, so I am not convinced it is too soon. I suspect though it...

So it seems not using or liking Discord meant that I did not see the video. Ah well, if it is linked to Discord I don't want it anyway. Discord is a thing I am forced to use because of the pandemic and others in the group refusing to use anything else. As soon as we get back to in person gaming...

One was also the worst GM I have ever encountered, basically his games were about him proving how much more intelligent and important he was over everyone else. His games were railroads where every encounter was something impossible and where the characters were not allowed to use their powers...

Assuming that AD&D counts as D&D started with 1e, played some Red Box, but 2e was my (A)D&D, played it enough that I got burned off the game, moved to Rolemaster, then GURPS and WoD. Only came back to D&D towards the end of 3e, literally bought the books about 3 months before 3.5 came out...

Same here, I have tried to run published adventures a couple of times. Every time it has probably taken as much work to run as devise my own adventures. Actually in my group, I don't think any of the GMs ever run published adventures.

I am an old fan, as old a fan as you can get, since I bought the setting when it first came out and I think it is made for old fans, at least it is made for old fans like me. This where I am coming from, you keep going on as if you are an authority for us old fans, you're not, you are an...

Excuse me, but thinking something can be improved upon does not stop you being a fan. I'm clearly not Paul, but I also started playing D&D in 1984, I also bought the Ravenloft setting when it came out in 1990. It was my setting, I ran a four year long campaign in that setting, which not only i...

The Dark Gifts and see how they have updated/changed the Domains. I appreciate that I am not some loyal fan of 10-20 years, I can only manage 36 years and bought the black box set when it came out and ran a 4 year campaign in the setting, but as a wide eyed newbie I actually like what I see so...

I agree the triggers are a bit sparse. I started a campaign this week and the group are facing a zombie horde, one of the players is already panicking since they seem to be heading further into the horde. Since the player is seeing this as a stressful situation, I think suggesting that his...

One thing he got wrong in the video. The text says that stress goes after a day of calm or rest, not a long rest. You don't get better in the morning, you get better if you can take a day off in Ravenloft. While not impossible, it is far less likely to happen. Since Stress seems to stack, it is...
