Enchantra Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Happy Birthday to D&D! Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 What..WHAT? You mean there's D&D for COMPUTERS now? Anyhoo..a quote from the article. . Dungeons and Dragons requires 4-, 8-, 12- and 20-sided dice -- each of the so-called “Platonic solids” of classical geometry. NOTE the much-beloved-to-wizards four-sider dice. BUT no mention of the elusive three-sider they keep mentioning in the rule book. I remember first time I saw that, I was like "HOW?" Also note nowhere in the article do they mention editions, newer revised editions,and THACO Teehee..but where'd we be without the cornerstone of fantasy gaming. Happy b-day D&D!

warlordgarou Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 They forgot D6 and D10. Sheesh. . . how are you supposed to roll stats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Do what Unglef does.. roll a D-30 Teehee..anything above D-10 looks alike.. so maybe nobody notices your paladin has a charisma of 35? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlordgarou Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hey, if someone wants a stat that high, I say, "Let 'em." People will start following them around, scribes taking down every word. Dungeon crawls become impossible, as hordes of fans try to crowd down the 10x10 corridor. The PC says "Why don't you just drop dead?" and fans have been known to lapse into comas. PCs who rebuke their followers drive followers to suicide. All this presents problems for the good characters, who should be troubled by their slide toward evil. And evil PCs will find that their new fame starts bringing those goody-goody-two-shoes out of the woodwork, all determined to liberate the hordes of brain-washed masses. Gods start getting seriously ticked that some mere mortal is so charismatic. Random plagues and natural disasters begin to occur. Avatars start appearing, and demonstate the diety's anger in a very close and personal way. See, it would be fun. Dang, I need to find time to start running my Hackmaster game again.

Stray Bullet Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Reminds me, couple friends and I are trying to get back into it after many years hiatus. Only thing stopping us is we only need one more person. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
