If the party doesn't run away, doesn't find the silver, cold, ghost touch spear held by the statue on floor -5, or doesn't kite the monster while the wizard hammers it with magic . . . They deserve that TPK. Also, damage reduction rules shouldn't be in the essential-tier of a game's rules...

So? Sometimes one table is enough.

I didn't play Chainmail, but I recall things like speed factor in early D&D being even more optional than the complications in today's "streamlined" D&D. Weapon tags like Finesse come to mind. For simplifying though, I remember feeling like I was abandoning my entire game idea when a rule or...

If you say so. One player takes an option that provides one attack, another player takes an option that provides six. The first says the second is breaking the game, the second says that the first doesn't know how to optimize. You are somehow saying one is right, the other, wrong. I'm hoping...

My wizard friend wants a copy of the elf's 124+1 point magic missile spell. Then we'll dive into the excellent free adventure!

Daggerheart is still in playtesting? I thought it published? www.enworld.org/threads/daggerheart-has-been-officially-released

That's awesome! Some of my other favorite freebies: Final Fantasy, the indie RPG http://ffrpg4e.wikidot.com/ D&D, minimized (and not loading on my phone) https://microlite20.org/ Home-grown open license goodness https://a5esrd.com/a5esrd My personal favorite light RPG...

Totally! Oh, yeah, no. PCs can see thru that. Each session should have a map and at least one encounter planned. Why do you ask?

The Complete Bard's Handbook. It revolutionized bards and turned them into the party-leading heroes they were always meant to be. Sadly, no one bought it, and bards are still de facto NPCs.

What if Dual Wielding just doesn't provide an extra attack? The benefits of dual wielding include 1) the freedom to attack with a different, possibly more effective weapon, and 2) still being armed after being disarmed. I'd think trying to attack with two weapons would divide the strength or...

Ask them if they're at a new company. They'll tell you it's a fully compatible  revised company.

Okay, I'll make a suggestion from the correct band: I Want to Break Free.

Let the Bodies Hit the Floor?

This seems like the realm of most horror movies that feature haunting. If that doesn't work, everything that comes out of the PC's mouth must be the truth. "I've had better." - Jim Carrey
