    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    No, I get that. I'm talking about the new one.

    TSR Having multiple dungeons available to the players

    In my last old school game I had a single (mini) megadungeon which was explored over the course of more than a year, by two different groups, and lots of smaller dungeons sized to be completed in 1-5 sessions, each with its own distinct reason for being, plot threads, etc.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Sure, but did WotC commission it, or just license it?

    D&D 5E Using 4e elements for your 5e games?

    Back in 3rd ed we divided HP into four categories based on 1/4 of max HP and enforced communicating HP only with those categories. Scratched, wounded, badly wounded, and near death. We've mostly just used Bloodied since 4E, though.

    D&D General Return to Perinthos: A Memorial Book Fundraiser in the Memory of Jennell Jaquays on Crowdfundr

    It had a little trouble accepting my Venmo at first, but I got it to work. Backed!

    David Wesely: The Man Who Accidentally Invented RPGs

    Isn't that like arguing that Historical Fiction doesn't exist?

    Adventures Dark and Deep Core Rules 2nd Printing

    My understanding is that Adventures Dark and Deep is at base a What If? alternative universe concept of what if Gary Gygax had stayed at TSR and headed up the 2nd ed revision. Joe Bloch took 1E and went over all Gary's statements about what he might want to do with 2E, and came up with a take...

    The perfect cRPG for old people to get a taste of the hobby?

    Wildermyth seems like a solid recommend. A friend of mine was a writer on it.

    D&D 5E What is RAW on damaging a downed but stabilized creature

    Per page 197 of the PH under Death Saves "The number of both is reset to zero when you regain any hit points or become stable."

    D&D General Matt Colville on adventure length

    I don't know, man. Why do we worry about anyone who has the same interests or hobby as us? If there's a population of players out there who find running a big hardcover campaign intimidating and beyond their skills, I think it's an unfortunate thing if they don't know about smaller options...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    Oof. Why would I want to respond to that?

    D&D General Matt Colville on adventure length

    I don't think that's entirely true. A judicious amount of evocative interior art makes the module more readable, can actually save some space on descriptions of interesting scenes (the old "a picture is worth a thousand words"), and inspires the GM more to run it and IN running it. Praise the...

    D&D General D&D Live Play Dimension 20 At Madison Square Garden

    Agreed. I think this is more a difference of degree and not of kind. And I've certainly watched a number of streams which have lower production values and are almost indistinguishable from my home games or online games I've played in. I'm also one who has trouble getting into CR, but I've...
