    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    Most of my campaigns went high, most often starting at 3rd level. The monty haul play method is unrelated to high level, plenty of lowbie games had monty haul campaigns. I disagree with your statement that high level play only happens under those conditions.

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    Bard rolls fighter HP up to 7th level, so the same as a fighter until then. Then the fighter stops rolling hit dice at level 9,and no longer gets con bonus for HP. Meanwhile the bard as thief is rolling 1d6 + con bonus for another 8 levels, when the fighter gets 3HP. Then they get to roll again...

    How many were abused due to their love of D&D, RPGs, and related items when they were young?

    I was made to burn my extensive collection when I joined up with a church in my teen years. The youth pastor declared he saw demonic faces going out of the smoke when we did. I wasn't allowed to store, sell or even throw away in case 'Satan used it to corrupt others' At the time, my non...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    I think first edition bard could end up with more HP than fighters, if we talking exceptions, but only if the campaign goes on long enough. We used rolling 3d6 twelve times. It was fairly common to start with an 18.

    AD&D 1E What was so bad about unearthed arcana 1e?

    As was common for people around me, all my groups back then pretty treated UA like a collection of dragon magazines bound together. The DM said which bits would be used, and the expanded spells were great. I ended up combining the thief acrobat with the normal thief class, as a way of buffing...

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    The one I deal with level drain (heavily home brewed first edition) is characters lose the level not experience, meaning they need to go level training again until they can use those powers etc, so it practice it works as a fairly nasty annoyance but not one that feels like they've lost invested...

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    None of the links work for me, I think it might be US only.

    Best Digital Product Organizer?

    I just use windows normal folder structure, and have all my stuff on a spare drive. That said, for ebooks, I use calibre (free calibre - E-book management), which would probably work for gaming PDFs too.

    dumb premise for a game - Medieval Aliens

    If it helps, I just learnt there's a book to one of my favourite movies. And by an authour I've read a bit from. :) I can imagine where the book/movie would differ, the movie has some slapstick in it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Solasta 2 and the 1/2 elf

    Pretty sure it was 2nd edition.

    D&D 5E (2024) Solasta 2 and the 1/2 elf

    My answer is these types of things (extra races) tend to get added over time, but otherwise agree with it being a table call while there's a wait. But tbh I've got no real horse in the race, currently the only 5th ed I play is solasta, and I'm content for them (Solasta game devs) to know what...

    D&D 5E (2024) Solasta 2 and the 1/2 elf

    Is assassins being NPC only a second edition rule after they removed them? In first edition players, its very specifically talks about how a player character assassin doesn't need to join a guild like a NPC, with rules about what happens when PC assassin does an unauthorized assassination. The...

    D&D 5E (2024) Solasta 2 and the 1/2 elf

    That is actually unlikely on day one, though a mod at some point in inevitable. At least going by the history of Solasta 1 modding. I also think no one really cares that much about Solasta, its moved to be more about if they should be in D&D24.

    D&D 5E (2024) Solasta 2 and the 1/2 elf

    AD&D had races that gained features as they leveled, instead of all abilities at first level (eg thrikreen, drow) as another example.
