    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Fusion They made their way along the side of the falls, circling clockwise in single file, while covering their lights as best they could and carefully traversing the slippery algae and rocky tripping hazards. Terrin came very close to falling as he slipped on a hidden patch and banged his...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Caves Realizing that this stalemate could not last, Urgan lead the way into the chamber, risking everything for victory. He concentrated on attacking the mind of the mercenary captain, who was no pushover in his intelligence or strength of will, if weak in scruples. After a brief moment...

    What I Like About Nimble 2e (So Far) — A Partial Review

    Well, the one I played at Level 3 also got to roll Judgement when an enemy attacked an ally within his aura (4 spaces) AND could roll an "extra die" whenever that happened, so it wasn't exactly hard to have judgement every turn (the monsters gotta attack somebody). So at Level 3, he got to roll...

    D&D General What the Melf's Guide to Greyhawk cover might look like

    But... If you agree with it, why on earth does it bother you that it's written? Beyond a critique like, "I would have said that true thing differently" I can't understand what the deal is. Nod and move on. And you also seem to feel that it disparages the creators, in spite of also simply...

    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk: The Shield Lands

    About me? (I know you were replying to mamba, but given the context, I choose to believe that you were talking about me.) I feel vindicated! And loved.

    What I Like About Nimble 2e (So Far) — A Partial Review

    We converted a Level 3 5e game to Nimble to give it a shot. My son was running. I was playing an Oathsworn Half-Giant. My question: Radiant Judgement seems pretty powerful. Am I correct that I spend ALL of the dice on my first melee attack each round? Because I was essentially getting +3d8...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Fusion Copper made his way to the middle of the pack, deftly passing a few of his slower-moving allies. Stryke stayed not far behind him. The Drow had only a passing familiarity with the Goliath, but it was better than the relationship that he had with most of the others, where he had...

    The value of manned space flight?

    All I have to say is: If we can figure out how to live on Mars, we sure as heck can figure out how to make Earth stay livable. And we better do that quick, because we won't like it on Mars.

    Okay! I should be back in action going forward, hopefully regularly from now on!

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Fusion Sending familiars forward, the group made their way along the north-eastern shore of the lake, with one-eye toward the horribly uneven path ahead and another toward the dark mass of the stirge nest to the north-west. As the tunnel twisted to the right, it went first upward above...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Caves Urgan's spell struck the Mercenary Captain, who fell on his knees retching with wide-eyes. This was another blow to his company's morale, and yet they refused to act - neither against the nearby cultists, nor for the moment toward Imani's Agents. The cultists, for their part...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I apologize again for my slow posting - I've yet again been busy with time-consuming prep for various in-store games, and very little free time outside that. But there's good news on the horizon! My wife is starting a new job tomorrow, and we need to be up very early every day to get her there...

    D&D General What the Melf's Guide to Greyhawk cover might look like

    I read it too. I guess one sees what one brings to it, because I saw a love-letter to the game and to Gygax, that simply pointed out a few things that don't date well. Hardly controversial. But yeah, social media certainly drummed up a lot of misconceptions.

    What RPG(s) did you stick with an earlier edition?

    Yes. It's very rare that old editions remain available, and I'm not the kind of store that goes deep on "collectable" versions of out-of-print things (other than comic books) because I don't like asking high prices for things and having them sit around (not even on the comics - I ask reasonable...
