I'm interested to know what sort of career path leads one to be a Cleric on a pirate ship. Is there a god of pirates? Someone needs to come up with a name and some lore for the god of pirates.

The fact that it walks will do a lot of the heavy lifting in that regard.

Yeah, I don't see any particular reason you couldn't do this type of campaign in Eberron. Hell, I'm running this type of campaign right now in Bushido. The Appendix N stuff is flavor. What matters is player agency, interesting challenges, and fair refereeing. I enjoyed the episode I just...

Paladins and nonevil clerics are forbidden from using poisons. For everyone else, it depends on alignment. I'd rule that Lawful characters generally will shun poison. See Players Handbook page 19. Poisoning people is surely illegal in any civilized culture. There are specific rules for getting...

I wish I had the art-literacy to tell you why I I like these drawings. But, I do not. They're real good, though. What I can say is: Wait, do mind-flayers have tails? I guess we usually only see them wearing concealing robes, so maybe.

I knew it as a video game site, and was surprised when I learned you could also download rpg .pdf's there.

Paladin? More like paladon't, am I right, fellahs?

Whimsical!

Update: He decided to switch to OSE, instead.

I finally took a look at it, as my brother is starting a campaign soon and he invited me to it. It's....I mean, it's fine I guess. I'll play it, because I was invited to. I think I've reached the point where I am no longer capable of being exited by a new Basic D&D variant. I just don't see the...

I'm not familiar with Dungeon Fantasy at all, so I can be of little help regarding its mechanics. Regarding hooks, though, my advice is this: ask the players for their character's motivations. Level 20 PC's ought to be legendary heroes with years of experience and a whole roster of friends...

The speed lines are powerful!

Now if these mountains were upside-down, jutting "up" into the Earth's hollow core, that would be something.

In any case, the 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide does, of course use the term "Dungeon Master" inside.

To be fair, dragonborn in 5th Edition kind of suck. They get a breath weapon, but in terms of damage that is quickly outpaced by a fighter's multiple attacks and even at level 1 can't compare to a wizard's spells. It's a nice fallback if you run out of arrows, or your enemy just happens to be...

This is literally the first non-WotC art I have seen of a Dragonborn portrayed (correctly) without a tail. So. Good job on that.

I have described my current campaign as "AD&D with everything on it." The full suite of PBH classes, plus the ones from Unearthed Arcana and Oriental Adventures. Is this balanced? Eeeehhhh. But, players like options! If things get too easy, I can always add more/tougher monsters. And, a strict...

Assassins are great. I'm proassassin. The strong mechanical incentive to attack from stealth encourages tactical play. Their immediate ties to an assassin guild get you straight into faction play and politics at level 1. That's absolutely my jam. The main complaint I've heard raised about...

Because the skeleton on the cover doesn't have pants?

It's tough because Advanced Dungeons & Dragons wasn't meant for beginners. The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh is for level 1 characters, and came out fairly early. EDIT: What the fuck am I saying, obviously you should look at Village of Hommlet, the level 1 scenario that demonstrates how a...
