Alternity player species, AD&D monster:

I have gotten a lot of mileage over the years by combining gnomes with fraal. Little red hats and all.

Like many, many others, I am a He-Man kid. A "get up at 4am to watch the Super Mario Bros Super Show... in Spanish" kid. Definitely a Bravestarr kid.

If I got to choose... probably aasimar or something else very human-looking. Based on our personality? Yeah, that's going to shove me into something like orc or bugbear.

I use the array, then allow players to roll against each score, in order. Better score wins. I've never made someone reroll scores because they "rolled too well" in front of me. That's... I do not have a high opinion of that concept.

I feel the passage in the OP describes how I was taught to play "D&D"-- edition doesn't matter-- in 1993. But "challenge" doesn't have to mean "puzzle" or "trick monster"; likewise, player abilities don't have to be Win Buttons. Shake up your encounters, don't assume most encounters are just...

I'm sure learning to play D&D would help them with that. . . Tongue very much in cheek here; I am very much "with D&D", even that weird stuff that Piratecat plays.

Drizzt and Elminster on the cover means it's a Realms book, Raistlin and Caramon on the cover means it's a 'Lance book. There aren't a lot of "generic D&D" iconic figures to choose from.

You're thinking about the one with Christian Slater?

Not my original idea, but imagine a PG-13 movie where Deadpool spent the whole runtime worrying about when to use "the one F-Bomb" that a PG-13 movie is typically allowed... and he keeps cutting Wolverine off from saying it, uses loud props to censor Wolverine using it... and then deep in Act...

Off the top of my head: d4 Hit Points Lean into Schools: declare some spells universal, a la 2e Wizards pick one specialty school, two major schools, and three minor schools Wizards can only cast their highest spell level in their specialty school, up to their next highest level in...
