Encounter-Ending Powers are a Good Thing!

RetroRoleplaying Posted on March 12, 2012 by RandallApril 11, 2022

Reasons Magic-Users Did Not Dominate Play in Early Editions of D&D

RetroRoleplaying Posted on February 10, 2010 by RandallApril 11, 2022

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

I get the impression that WOTC would really like it if D&D 3.5 would die a quiet death and do so soon. Unfortunately, I don’t think that will ever happen as there is now no realistic way to prevent the … Continue reading →

RetroRoleplaying Posted on May 14, 2008 by RandallApril 11, 2022
