Making Enemies: the original duel decks.

It just had to be Rosewater, right? Early issues of The Duelist are wild. Although I was surprised it took until issue 8 until I found any decklists — that weren’t examples of limited pools or part of tournament reports at least. Issue 4 did have a run down on how you can make smart trades and take advantage of Ante to improve your starter deck (essentially a bigger booster pack with basics) and…

re-reading my set of D&D 4th edition books (the edition nobody likes to talk about), i totally forgot that they had introduced the concept of class "roles" instead of just classes. so instead of just having your standard Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, etc, they also had the concepts of Striker, Controller, Leader, and Defender. this helped further clarify what each class could really be practical for in a group, in the way that World of Warcraft (around the same time) redefined different class and spec combos into the roles of Tank, Damage, and Healer.

in WoW you can still be a Paladin as a class, but it has three "specification" tracks, and each one is a different "role" (and totally different play style). you can be a Holy Paladin (healer), Protection Paladin (tank), or Retribution Paladin (damage). part of the reason they did this was to make it easier to pick what you wanted to be responsible for in a party of five people working through a dungeon together, but also it just made onboarding to those roles very straightforward for casual play. D&D at the time was struggling with that same group onboarding problem.

for example, the traditional Fighter class in D&D 4th edition has several "specifications" for different roles: the Knight class is a Defender Fighter, the Slayer class is a Striker Fighter, to name two examples. they're both considered "Fighter" for rules purposes and advanced options, but they have different progression tracks and abilities to unlock per level. eventually, every class in D&D 4th edition got one or more different versions per role, meaning you ended up with dozens of class/role choices. the same as World of Warcraft... there seem to be only ~10-12 classes to choose from, but each has ~3-4 specs, meaning you have 40+ choices, and you can choose based on either what class you like or what role you like. that's pretty cool.

then, in D&D 5th edition, they totally dropped this "role" concept. like, entirely. i kinda miss it tbh. it helped add clarity and options at the onset of character creation, in a different way than 3.5 had (which was a technical mess imo, and turned players into soup) and 5th edition kinda skipped in favor of whole-platform ease-of-onboarding (i could write a whole essay just on this). i ran a 4th edition campaign for years and thought it was pretty good, especially since 4e is so action-oriented, which can be a struggle if you have players who aren't really sure what to do with the class they chose.

anyway, random thoughts as i spend an evening digging through different tabletop roleplaying game rule sets and reminding myself what i like about them.

Seriously, that 5th edition is way too easy, there’s no challenge left.

I will give you this, though. Anyone who still wants to play with 1st edition rules is mental. That was Dark Souls before Dark Souls, and it’s way harder than that on that regard. Sometimes I have the feeling Gary Gygax was secretly a sadist, what with some of the modules he wrote.

...what? Of course I know a lot about D&D, it’s owned by Hasbro.

Evil DnD Doodles

Some more D&D drawings! Today I bring you our 4e evil campaign! Hands down one of my favorites where my tiefling warlock was able to curse two warring armies and use their deaths to power a final blast of darkness that hit the main bad guy for 1,700+ d6's. We all had to roll to make sure I didn't just nuke the entire party off the map and hey! I only wound up killing the pixie. (Well, and the bad guy. I reduced that demon into nothing but ash... and everything around us for miles... Good times!)

The first drawing is Zenobia, the aforementioned tiefling and her personal murderer/bodyguard, the thri kreen Tah'Koh. (My friends think it's funny to name these things after food...)

This is the beautiful Rekah the dryad, and Ophelia the drug-addicted pixie.

My husband's red dragonborn sorcerer, Zarrok and my friend's blue dragonborn: the lady! The DIVA! Miss Jorjor Gabor (or Jormun'gandr). He dressed in drag once and decided to do it for the rest of the campaign despite being REALLY bad at it.
