This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

You can do that here.  OD&D love is something quite a few posters share.  Sure Brady will crawl up your ass and make a spectacle of idiocy, but it's like "5 o'clock Charlie" harmless and entertaining in it's own way.

Criticising 5e, yeah that used to be not worth the trouble, but Tenbones, Spinach and Opa have created some breathing room on that front too.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

  There's even space for a handful of us to express an appreciation of 4E. Granted, we have to put up with Pundit ... :)

Quote from: CRKrueger;1043098When I'm reading a large book and making notes, I like to lay on the floor, couch, bed, whatever.  When I do that, my dog will eventually lay right on the book.  I'm doing something interesting/important and he's not involved, so he invites himself to the proceedings. :D

That's why I wait until my kids are asleep before I start recording whatever I'm planning to upload that day.

Doesn't always work though. Thankfully, I has a pause button.

Yes, all true.  It's why I put up with the annoying parts of this forum.  The benefits of free speech outweigh the problems.

If you like 4E good on ya, as long as you don't tell me I'm wrong for liking OD&D better.  (Never played 4E, got ten pages through the "quickstart" rules and gave up)

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't care for it. I'd be willing to give OD&D a try, but I don't think I'm looking for the kind of game it's best suited to.

But in essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.

4E was the edition that hit just as my daughter was old enough to be interested.  

To her, 4E D&D is the edition she learned first, and even now she prefers it over 5E that she's played at conventions and our FLGS. She misses the cards and the powers!

She meets Pundit's horrid GATEKEEPER requirement!  The NERVE of some people, expecting that you need to PLAY the game to be part of the community!

Quote from: Larsdangly;1042987I've always called all of these games D+D in casual conversation. As in, 'what do you want to do with our D+D game this weekend? Hmmm...how about we pick up our Runequest party that was last left drunk in a gutter in Pavis?'

Why not "What do you want to do with our Runequest game this weekend?"?

I don't know; it just sort of naturally popped up as a habit of people in my regular group when we were all in high school, and it stuck.

Crazy talk!

I want a forum where you can like old and new. And dislike the stupid stupid things designers and companies keep doing.

If I liked something new, I like it and wouldn't be afraid to say.  I just haven't yet.

I got all excited about FFG's "X wing" game a couple years back, but then they ruined it by adding in the collectable card aspect.

There are cards in X-wing, but there's no randomness in the cards when you make a purchase nor is there any increased rarity among the cards. You can even find all the needed data online and just jot the notes down for cards you don't own. Some of this may differ if you're playing in organized play events, but for at-home play that won't matter.
