You could make Arcana the "default" domain for these clerics instead of Life. That seems more appropriate -- harkening back to the Song, and keeping healing more rare, as it is in the books.

I think you're right, I was thinking of the hymn to Elbereth in Book 3. But there were a few very prolific Tolkien-clone authors back in the day (Terry Brooks' Shannara series, Dennis L. McKiernan's Iron Tower series, etc.), and I read all of them, so it's also quite possible I've conflated...

I mean, if I'm that guy, I'd be torn. On the one hand, correcting the would mean everything would go according to the plan I want to follow. But... if I don't say anything, is it possible the whole thing could get thrown out when the error is later pointed out? Really, if it was me (and it...

I mean, every episode is a banger, but that one is great.

What a great show!

Not only should PCs not be exceptional, they shouldn't even be "average" skill level based on the campaign. They should start as absolute bottom-of-the-barrel scrubs. At best, when they reach the vaunted heights of 3rd level, should they occasionally be lumped in with the "competent" folks...

I believe the Ignore was mutual, so I'm unlikely to see their posts. And this way, my conscience is clean!

Sure, I'll try the reset and take the one guy off my IL that I had on there. I just hope my sanity doesn't suffer for it.

I will admit, as a Patreon patron for the Griffon's Saddlebag since he started, I'm very tempted by the Griffon's Saddlebag and Coinpouch items on the Hit Point Press website. But I need these things to be usable and to be able to stand up to the punishment of a four-day gaming convention! I...

Hey, I own some of those. Somewhere I still have the Personal Soundtrack t-shirt. I always intended to wear it to a convention, with the sound box loaded up with ambient sound effects for whatever game I was scheduled to run; the ONE TIME I managed to remember to do that, that game was cancelled...

I was tempted, but I couldn't tell anything about the quality. I'm very familiar with game companies making the cheapest possible promotional items, so my paranoia won out. That said, if you guy are still using it it was probably "good enough."

I have played Hero System since 1984, and while it's gone through editions, it was basically completely interchangeable until the very latest edition (6th), which came out in 2009. So that was 25 years of play. 5th edition is a fine system, and I expect to get a good 25 years of play out of it...

Psh! Based on the map, you could fit three Ontarios and another Texas inside of Texas and still have room left over!

"Texan" implies larger, though.

I might have given Varda the Arcana domain rather than Knowledge. It's been a dog's age since I read the books, but doesn't somebody abjure a horror by calling upon her? That's the Arcana Channel Divinity power.

Okay, so it will have previously-unpublished material, that has somehow not been published in the 50 years since the original came out. That's interesting, sure. But the sheer number of times words like "treasures," "genius," and "gems" are bandied about in a short update smacks of hyperbole and...

And then there's the four "secret" degrees at the top of the Masonic chain: "Keeper of the Silver Gate," "Knight of the Outer Void," "Son of Yog-Sothoth," and "Wizard". ...I may be playing too much Call of Cthulhu...

Well, I will be starting my own TSR Hobbies, Inc., and we're specializing in needle craft - the TRUE legacy of the original firm!

Yeah, we used to shop a lot at Target. That's not happening for a while...
