Duergar & Daemons Part XVIII: The Silk Road In which the DM informs our noble heroes that the tunnel that took them to the priest’s sanctuary did not go up but down and some of them allow the seemingly endless trek through the Underdark to get the better of them in decidedly caddish – and...

Um..., don't ask me! :unsure: You said "execute". :cool:

Okay, you've got me. Execute this, s'il vous plaît.

What were they thinking? Some further musings on the subject of “What in blazes were they thinking when they created Appendix E!?”, in which, for reasons, we shall ignore the note “If an otherwise weak creature has on extraordinary power, multiply the award by 2, 4, 8, or even 10 or more.”, and...

Duergar & Daemons Part XVII: Shrine of the Duergar In which the DM informs our noble heroes that the rock troll has started regenerating and that they are actually seeing it happening in font of their very eyes. Night 154, continued: “I say, chaps,” Navarre says in some consternation, pointing...

Duergar & Daemons Part XVI: Tunnels & Trolls In what starts as a session with little action and much talk and ends as one, the DM opens the proceedings by informing our noble heroes that a ledge runs around the outside of the dragon cave – the room at the top of the tower of Dragon Point; that...

And then, of course, there is the criminally overlooked Birthright setting, with an entire rule book on naval battles. [Wikipedia]

Yup. Something like that. Still, I was running a completely randomly rolled 1E dungeon a while ago, and I had the xp for all encounters neatly worked out--as far as possible (had some time because of the COVID thing). Just crossed out what ended up dead and then added up all of their xp values...

Absolutely! The fact that Lakofka said what he said about the "saving throw" thing wasn't my cup of tea at all. In fact, I quoted him because his "This pattern, however, does not properly reflect that a monster's "to hit" probabilities change between 4+3 and 4+4" set me on the path to thinking...

Yup. I realize that there's no one true and correct way to play 1E--something my little xp project has made very, very clear once again! I mean, there's just no way in hell you're gonna "correctly" calculate the xp for a koalinth lair allied with ixitxachitl and under siege by sahuagin (hmm...

-has been reading the Dragonsfoot files- Oh dear. Seem to have dug myself into a very, very deep hole there. Still, having a good--and much needed--ROFLMAO (2 SAXPBs for the dolphin!; and the mule takes the cake, so far) with "dismembering the monster manual" (by Algolei). Does lift the...
