    How do you define "Heartbreaker?"

    ...well if you take it from the source, here are his four distilled nuggets of definition... None them demonstrate critical perspective regarding role-playing techniques. The authors played Old D&D, and their decisions demonstrate patch rules, unquestioned assumptions, and "innovations" all...

    How do you define "Heartbreaker?"

    ...my interpretation may deviate from more-common derogatory usage, but i've always read fantasy heartbreaker as an intensely-personal creative endeavor which simultaneously shines brilliantly and fails to land on account of the narrow vision driving its creation; its lost potential breaks both...

    D&D General Best D&D Setting?

    ...okay, serious answer: æreth offers by far the richest fifth-edition support of those choices, both in short-form modules and long-form adventures, while still fostering open-ended OSR-style campaign-building...

    D&D General How well does mixing 5es in one table work?

    ...that's exactly how we played in the early eighties: B/X, AD+D, dragon magazine, judges guild, whatever all mixed together freely with nobody batting an eye; the modern 5e third-party landscape feels very much cut from similar cloth... ...my current 5e campaign is going to round-robin...

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    …while 5.24’s cosmopolitain mechanical assumptions feel like a good fit for the eberron campaign setting, i have to ask: does this book offer significant value to a 5.14 eberron campaign, or is it an easy pass on that account?..

    Other D&D Variant Castles&Crusades: Codex Exaltum and Codex Infernum
