Ambiguously Gendered Return of 'What is the Hivemind?'

I thought there wasn't a consensus.

The consensus among the ones that want it to die.

Whee...I started playing with 2e for years before going to 3e, but I'm probably still younger

That me? If you are, it isn't by much.

I have no doubt. It generally the older players that have good memeories of previous editions, but it is always nice to know that the younger folk have respect for the older systems and actually try to tack a crack at em.

So he's casting Aid or Guidance on you I guess.

You could look at it like that. It's generally stuff that applies to just one roll, so it's not quite as powerful as +2 for rounds/level or anything. It's like how True Believer gives you a +2 on one roll once per day.

I haven't thought to look there, actually. I think I probably stole the idea from a tip at roleplayingtips.com, but I'm not sure. I don't like the rules in BoED, for the most part, but the color is cool.

I pretty much a big fan of planar material - the guardinals and the clestial NPCs in the back are what turned me on to the book actually.

So I assume you understand, then, why I wouldn't say a prayer for the render in real life.

May-beh.

Well, it wasn't respect for 2e so much as that 2e was the only thing around when I started playing, though of course I started playing when my age was in the single digits

I love Planescape and Spelljammer. Those were my two favourite settings back when I used to play 2e--I bought everything from both of those I could find in my FLGS!

That is always good. The gamers with experience from previous versions of DnD tend to get along well together. I should know, I've been gaming since '91, and I've played almost all of 'em from Basic, to 1st Ed and 2nd Ed.

They've apparently had trouble with new players. The guys that played 1e at my old gaming place used to give use 3e guys weird looks as if our version of D&D wasn't up to par...

The Diaglo Effect, no doubt
