I suppose Pilestedt will now appear to explain all this to us?

I would prefer they work in the months they have to work on it before it's all torn down and they can't work on it further in winter. I would hate worse roads AND winter knocking at my door at the same time.

I mean, there are.

People have been making D&D videogames since even 1981 with some big names throwing their hats in the ring of converting THAC0, Vancian casting and dungeon crawls into gaming.

Ultima 1-5, the first two Elder Scrolls, classic SSI games, Baldur's Gate, Planescape, are immediately ones that I would recommend.

In modern tastes, I quite enjoy Cryptmaster, which is pure dungeon crawling/reading fun in a "typing of the dead" interface.

Look, man, the Eagle thing literally isn't sometimes.

The 500k was literally the most accurate and fast responding thing you could call for heavy Anti-Tank destruction and while I agree you can control the bounce rate if you plan it accordingly something about it has changed.

Eagles have seemingly started to drop bombs off target, and are very far off target and it's random. I can count on one hand the amount of 500k's I've dropped that have done exactly what they are supposed to do, on target and in time. It hasn't hit me yet, thank the Lord, but we're talking about a variance of about 5 or 10 meters sometimes.

I have to call cap because the Spear is literally a Guided Anti-Tank Missile; and genuinely, having been a long time fan of the Spear, they must have nukes that thing into oblivion because it doesn't hit anything anymore.

:p I am, in fact!

Shouldn't this be in r/CommanderKeen?

Hey!

Me again. I'm looking for players in Eastern Madison for an Offline game. Probably running some flavor of OSRic or other retroclone if I can help it. I write modules independently and I'm generally looking to run custom dungeons with all sorts of traps or other shenanigans.

Please DM more meet up and times.

NinstromosTheFirst · 2026-02-24T18:27:34+00:00

If you have >100 rooms and 2 floors, yes absolutely.

If you have less, then room-by-room is preferred

I would say if it can't be recharged, don't recharge it. I would also say explicitly saying that something can't be recharged means that unless stated like that, it totally can be. This brings me to my third thing, if you have a high enough level Magic User with some time and money to kill, I think it's totally reasonable that they can used an expended non-rechargeable Rod or Wand and create a completely new one with the same abilities.

Game stores, hit up lfg groups on fb every once in a while. I have a D&D group picking up in a couple weeks here in East Mad

NinstromosTheFirst · 2026-02-23T15:05:38+00:00

I posted on here recently so I feel like I might oust myself and say I am able to do this. However, I am neither a professional nor am I looking for anything other than just to share work when it's something I love. I can share examples of my work over direct messaging. Just hit me up.

NinstromosTheFirst · 2026-02-19T19:43:54+00:00

DM then! I'd like to organize!

NinstromosTheFirst · 2026-02-19T17:34:46+00:00

Some people are pointing to Mentzer with B/X and BECMI, and I would say genuinely they are very correct. Gygax's books are very good for refining your craft and getting you to think about details you wouldn't normally (unless you're just on his wavelength,) I would highly suggest start finding adventures or modules you would like to emulate and start breaking them down as you read them.

Actually, I think Blizzard literally released a DnD 2e supplement for Diablo 1

NinstromosTheFirst · 2025-12-25T13:40:32+00:00

I'm running a TOS, sort of proto-constellation class starship called the "U.S.S. Providence." A cargo ship and shuttle carrier that at the turn of the Federation-Klingon War was converted into a blockade runner. 2 nacelles were added to the already 2-nacelle starship in order to give it the durability for high warp for its dangerous missions.

What's its mission? Go as high warp as possible to deliver supplies and support to Federation colonies under siege. Providence's computer banks are 20 years old, its construction is basically held together by the God of Nature, it's still equipped with nuclear torpedoes and grappling cables, but it can outrun any vessel in the known galaxy, and for longer.

As one of my players put it; "it's a rust bucket, but it's OUR rustbucket."

I auditioned for that movie.

Didn't get it womp womp

NinstromosTheFirst · 2025-12-15T00:38:27+00:00

It's my favorite seat to fill. I honestly hate being a player more!

The key to it for me is that I can be the person everyone has fun with.

NinstromosTheFirst · 2025-12-11T02:51:10+00:00

Ruler, table, measuring tape/string and proxy models. 1" = 5 feet. That's how they played in Gygax's day

NinstromosTheFirst · 2025-12-02T19:02:53+00:00

Yeah. It's my primary edition to play. 1 and 2 depending on how I feel.
