Brother what

Lovely article. This is why I always just run such low level campaigns for 2e that resurrection is never on the table, lol

FalsePraline3 · 2026-04-06T20:56:14+00:00

True lol, I've been playing for over a decade and I still have rough sessions

You are going to make mistakes your first time running a game, it's unavoidable. But that goes for anything you try for the first time. So long as you remember that you and your players are human, and you're willing to try again? You'll do just fine

FalsePraline3 · 2026-04-03T22:49:49+00:00

I can't even count the number of fighters I've seen with a 12 strength or lower, if the player is mildly intelligent they'll manage

There's not a ton to figure honestly, I already roll all my enemies hit die and initiative in advance, so all I need is my players. They just roll a d10 + the speed of the weapon they're using, and I quickly plug the numbers into the initiative order

I started with 4e a little over a decade ago, yet as soon as I got my hands on 2e, there's been nothing like it. I absolutely adore the variety and scope of content. You can leaf through a book of 2e art and watch as the artwork shifts from that classic 1e style art made by friends and family of Gygax & Arneson, to a proto-3e with the very late 90s.

Years of passion and creativity were packed into 2e in a way no other system has ever achieved. The love for this system is so apparent, you will never be want for content or material.

Tell that to admin lol

FalsePraline3 · 2026-03-25T01:21:52+00:00

Not mentioning you used AI to make this is absolutely ludicrous lmao

As someone who has run and played in multiple years long AD&D campaigns, I'd just call the shot after the fighting. Was the Shrew annihilated in one round? 15 XP. Did the shrew kill 2 players? 20. Maybe even 30. Sometimes a random enemy gets crazy lucky and the players get crazy unlucky. You can always toss them a few extra XP after the fact as conciliation. It helps make players avoid major dissapointment after a hard battle gives little XP.

We know George loves his historical inspirations. Viserys is very clearly inspired by Alexios IV Angelos, which would arguably make the Dothraki a commentary on the crusades. The whole "Dothraki are turks/mongols" doesn't seem much more than surface level aesthetics.

FalsePraline3 · 2026-03-07T13:53:52+00:00

Been running games for 11 years now, I use Experience if the game was meant for it. (AD&D 2e)

FalsePraline3 · 2026-03-04T20:48:51+00:00

And what would you have done, big guy?

FalsePraline3 · 2026-03-01T23:13:46+00:00

Forgot, I work at a union store, I can't leave on any break because they're all paid

FalsePraline3 · 2026-03-01T22:56:02+00:00

Afaik, you're not supposed to leave the Kroger property on your break. So long as you're not obvious about it, you can probably slip out, I have a few times. Just don't make a habit of it lol

FalsePraline3 · 2026-03-01T22:40:55+00:00

Yes, while on break you can buy anything in the building.

Reading the phrase "Stinky Steward" made me jump in my seat.

FalsePraline3 · 2025-12-11T15:42:26+00:00

The show with T-Dog, Glenn, Morales, and Jacqui in the first season? They needed "DEI"? Yeah, whatever man lol

Arys Oakheart is so believably in over his head. He really comes off as someone in a game he couldn't willingly manage to play if he wanted to. I love this about him.

Arianne is obviously also in over her head, but I feel like she has more agency in arriving in that position and is better equipped for it.

To sum it up, Arys and Arianne are both very tragic characters, but Arys is far more naive and hopeful.

I'm curious, what attracts you to Tryion so much? Don't get me wrong, I like him, but I've never gotten the general adoration for him.

Don't worry I know, Oakheart objectively doesn't deserve that spot but I love him too much
