Just a Fluke of Party Bad Luck

RetroRoleplaying Posted on March 23, 2008 by RandallApril 11, 2022

RetroRoleplaying Posted on March 19, 2008 by RandallApril 11, 2022

It looks like Paizo is going to stay with D&D 3.5. While I’m not a 3.x fan (except in the form of Microlite 20), I’m even less of a 4th edition fan, so I am happy to see this. And … Continue reading →

Finally: A Use for 3.x Feats

RetroRoleplaying Posted on March 11, 2008 by RandallApril 11, 2022

Feats are one of the things I like least about 3.x versions of D&D. They are one of the things that really help turn the game from a game of action and adventure, to a game of trying to design … Continue reading →

AD&D “3rd Edition” Books

RetroRoleplaying Posted on March 5, 2008 by RandallApril 11, 2022

I have no idea how long these books will be available as they obviously have all sorts of copyright problems, but they actually quite good fan-productions of an attempt to create a “third edition” of AD&D. Player’s Handbook 3eUnearthed Arcana … Continue reading →

RetroRoleplaying: The Search Engine

RetroRoleplaying Posted on March 4, 2008 by RandallApril 11, 2022

Real Life Overwhelms, but RetroRoleplaying Goes On

RetroRoleplaying Posted on March 3, 2008 by RandallApril 11, 2022

I suspect some of my readers wonder if I’ve suddenly dropped off the face of the planet. Sadly, the last week has not been good in real life. Not only did my wife start radiation treatments for her oral cancer … Continue reading →
