AD&D 1st edition
Doctor Who was merely “ok” on Sunday (Planet of the Ood), as compared to the awesomeness that was The Fires of Pompeii the week before. I made up for that with watching two classic Dr Who stories I’d just picked up – The Curse of Fenric and Ghostlight. They’re two of my favourite stories from the classic era, both from the final series before the … Continue reading Doctor Who, Yggsburgh and other things
MilSims has delivered the final 3.5e books I ordered about a month ago. So, that’s that for 3.5e purchases, I guess. For those who are interested, the books were: * Cormyr: the Tearing of the Weave* Shadowdale: the Scouring of the Land* Fortress of the Yuan-Ti Together, they finished off two 3.5e adventure trilogies.

In particular, I was introduced to both AD&D … Continue reading Old editions never die
With the recent flood of new classes from Wizards, the problems with the 3e multi-classing system have become readily apparent. Of course, these may not be considered as problems by all.

What are these issues, and are they indeed … Continue reading The mechanical problems with Multiclassing in D&D 3E
THRONE ROOM AND AUDIENCE CHAMBER. Two steps of white veined black marble lead up to this area. The floor is a deep red polished stone, the huge stone pillars of polished obsidian, between them a massive throne of jet and black and white banded onyx, the whole inlaid with sard and set with 12 fire opals and 12 rubies. The walls are inlaid with colored … Continue reading The Uniques – Who is King Snurre?
