    OSR New edition of OSE in 2026 (updated with some links)

    Good point. IIRC there's only goblins and halflings with HD 1-1 in Adv Ref Tome. I don't recall any in the ToEH which shouldn't surprise, as a good number of its HD 1/2 monsters are more of a challenge than the Ref Tome's HD 1.

    OSR New edition of OSE in 2026 (updated with some links)

    Hey Nikosandros, I'm wondering how this implemented in the update rules: "Fighter combat dominance: multiple attacks versus creatures under 1 HD." There's only about 2 handfuls of HD 1/2 monsters in the OSE Advanced Referees Tome. However, there's far more in the Tome of Essential Horrors. All...

    OSR New edition of OSE in 2026 (updated with some links)

    Oh yeah. I commented on it earlier in the thread and I really only know it from AD&D1e, but yes the Giant Slayer feature was a very good boon for the Ranger.

    [Old school] I can't deal with inventory

    It's in the AD&D1e Player's Handbook page 35. And there's this for the Slow Poison spell on page 46: "The material components of this spell are the cleric's holy/unholy symbol and a bud of garlic which must be crushed and smeared on the victim's bare feet." So, oo-oo-ooh garlic foot spread. :p

    [Old school] I can't deal with inventory

    Ever since I saw... "Garlic, bud 5 c.p." in the AD&D1e PHB, I could be nothing but fascinated with the art of inventory management. I mean whoah, a bud of garlic (aka a clove) worth as much as half the cost of a cap for your head - that's some valuable herb! With the realization of its...

    What was your 2nd RPG?

    I'm no longer sure, but it was either original Traveller or Gamma World 2e. A DM at our college D&D club decided to mix those 2 into an existing AD&D 1e campaign. I know I played them both in 1984, but which got played 1st is more than my grey cells can muster. I just remember it being one...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    The most important thing is that your campaign folder is there in the Fantasy Grounds data folder. FG campaign data is never stored remotely - always in the local data folder. I do FG server hosting at IRL tables, mostly to host players that can't make the session and need to connect remotely...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    Yep, of the 12 rulesets I own only 2 of them are available in My Library for the Online Reader. I'm not disappointed though, as I'm viewing the reader on my Android tablet and if I turn it horizontally the content looks good and is easy to read. My habit is to always buy the PDF of any ruleset...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    OK, fair enough. As BadEye stated though, the interface has seen some improvements in the recent years. So check it out. Part of what I meant by generational, is the functional use of the interface. For example, almost all of my older players quickly grasped the drag & drop nature of the tool...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    It certainly worked for me - a few I chose were immediately added to My Library and all were added as modules when I did an update with the launcher. I was impressed with the 15 I was offered; 7 of them I have a near to immediate use for and they're all quality products. Well done Smiteworks. (y)

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    Hearing this always makes me curious and I have to ask, what aspect of the inteface? I've certainly had players that didn't care for it overall, but that dislike at times seemed generational. I had one player say they thought it "didn't look like an up to date app." A number of my Millennial...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    Well to be fair to Smiteworks, there'd be no reason for them to address anything with Steam in regards to the updater, as it works independently of the Steam client. It's run by the Fantasy Ground launcher and you don't even need the Steam client runnning when you host with FG. It's best to shut...

    OSR Modules with the best layout & presentation

    I just checked out the previews for your adventures The Warren and The Pit of Panzar. Those are nicely layed out and look to be good adventures. I can see what you mean by the boxed text - looks like you're using it for 2 purpose; as a means to highlight dialog/spoken text; as a way to provide...
