Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
That'll keep you up at night
ReplyDeleteHalf elves are the cornerstone of any system
ReplyDeleteYou have to split half-elves like the Gordian Knot.
ReplyDeleteAllow me to show you my red box... in it are all the fucks I give. 😉
ReplyDeletedoes it have bastard swords?
ReplyDeleteThose are great for making and fixing half-elves.
Half-elves are the square peg, 5e is the round hole. Just shoot yourself now, man.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we have folks around on the forums to keep these game designers honest. "Compatible with both" ... fiddlesticks, I say!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... best to just walk away from this minefield. System purists are like Fundie Christians, no use beating your head against a wall.
ReplyDeleteFrank Mentzer aka The Father Of Lies
ReplyDeleteHalf-elves for Mystara were in Dragon so I guess it supports them after all.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Swensen don't do that! If you say the thread is good then I'll be tempted to go there and then I'll read a forum thread and then I'll be sad.
ReplyDeleteThis thread ends with Frank Mentzer banned from Dragonsfoot. It escalates quickly.
ReplyDeleteNothing says Old School respect like banning Frank.
ReplyDelete......Goddammit now I need to know what he did!

ReplyDeleteCasey G. Frank has still got it
ReplyDeleteOh god that is such a TSR move.
ReplyDeleteI read the whole thread and... whatever set that off, I could not see it in thread. I suspect some other thread/message going in parallel, or a bunch of posts being deleted?
clownnnnn shoesssss
ReplyDeleteRichard G My understanding is that there is a history of mutual antagonism between Mentzer and a couple of regulars on that forum that stretches back a couple years.
ReplyDeleteThere's a few things in other threads that look like it had been building, but I didn't find anything you would really call a casus belli.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess that settles the question as to whether 'hissy fit' is a class feature for gamers or a proficiency.
ReplyDeleteTurns out it's pretty old school.
Yeah, reading through this, I am tempted to dash off something witty and spontaneous about it... and then I read it again and think "that's what the whole Village of Dragonsfoot this is supposed to be" and that cures me of the urge.
ReplyDelete/facepalm
ReplyDeleteI met Frank. He was probably the nicest person I met at Garycon. After Harold "aww he's such a nice guy" Johnson
ReplyDeleteDragonsfoot is the fucking worst. I assume everyone who is into AD&D 1e is an asshole mostly because of that forum.
ReplyDeleteI only go there when I see a link to something terrible. I was not disappointed today.
ReplyDeleteWait, he was banned for saying they have excessive free speech?
ReplyDeleteKinda seems like he was wrong maybe.
Ramanan S but I love 1e.
