Tales of the Lunar Lands – Tue, 19 November, 11:47 PM
Strictly speaking, the halflings of the Green Downs are not ones for magic. Mastery of the mystic arts involves hours upon hours of careful study, hours that most halflings would rather devote to honest farm work. So too, in such an insular society, halflings are reluctant to entertain the scholarly... read more.
Fail Forward – Tue, 19 November, 11:32 PM
Dying is a big part of living. We say goodbye to our pets, our friends, our family, and eventually everyone when our own time has come. It's the great equalizer, the timer we're all on to get done what we feel needs to be done in our flash of the pan of consciousness. So it stands to reason that my ... read more.

B/X BLACKRAZOR – Tue, 19 November, 05:21 PM
Over the last MANY years of writing this blog, I've read (or fielded) countless questions from people asking how to start their D&D campaign. Not all of them come right out and say this; they couch it in lots of ways: How can I get my 5E players to play B/X? My OSE players are reluctant to play AD&... read more.
Methods & Madness – Tue, 19 November, 05:04 PM
I usually prefer ascending AC to descending AC, but I never thought THAC0 was particularly complicated.You don't even need subtraction to use THAC0. Just roll 1d20, add AC and modifiers, and beat THAC0. Done. Delta has already done most of the work. I also found this post by @contrarian, which inspi... read more.

All too often, you want to buy a gift for someone who is deep, deep into this or that hobby but you aren’t yourself super well versed in it. Googling what to get a person based on that hobby is absolutely rational, but the results are typically stuff that a committed hobbyist either already has or i... read more.

At Gen Con in 1999 Wizards of the Coast revealed plans for a third edition of Dungeons & Dragons, scheduled for release in 2000. The upcoming release would preserve the “essential look and feel” of D&D while introducing intuitive changes like a unified d20 mechanic where high rolls meant success. Fr... read more.

A Dragon article written by Roger E. Moore and with an introduction by E. Gary Gygax, where he states that "[this] is about as 'official' as is possible at this time?" For my 13 year-old self, this was as good as an article could get. Appearing in issue #67 (November 1982), "The Astral Plane" was a ... read more.
