(Text from the AD&D Players Handbook by Gary Gygax, TSR, 1978) For most purposes, AD&D expressed distances in inches that equated to 10 feet in dungeon settings and 10 yards when outdoors. This applied to movement rates, weapon ranges, and spell ranges -- but not spell areas of effects.

The last paragraph hints at the confusing movement rules later in the PHB. Movement rates in inches were kept constant but used different time scales for different situations, so 12" movement meant 120' per 10 minute turn when exploring underground, but following a known route is 5 times faster so 120' of movement per 2 rounds (2 minutes), and fleeing or combat movement is 10 times faster so 120' per 1 round (the 1 minute melee round during which one attack can be made) which equals 12' per 6 second segment. Gygax acknowledged the latter seems slow but "consider the conditions -- whether prolonged physical exertion or the threat of hostile counter to the movement."

'you wouldnt like villain blorbo if they were officially redeemed/romanced because the excitement is in the mystery and how canonically it wouldnt make sens-'

wrong.

thank u

#curse of strahd spoilers #bg3 spoilers #i dont even understand what ppl mean by 'this char cant be redeemed' #like have you not listened to rudolph the red nosed reindeer #even all the other reindeer redeemed themselves and let him join in their reindeer games #ok that rudolph thing was a half meme but also like dont gatekeep and ignore chance of a positive shift for an evil character thats weird #esp cuz the inverted of negative things for a good character is somehow seen as valid/legit #if you have no idea what the context of these sourcebooks are dw about it #even if it 'didnt make sense' who cares tho. most companies literally TAKE popular fanons and PUBLISH them as canon in future editions anyw #u should be demanding unrealistic/not possible stuff from companies that are publishing out D&D content #cuz D&D content is made with YOU. dnd is a HOBBY. an ACTIVITY. not a PRODUCT that you need company validation from #literally fanon stuff esp in dnd is valid because of it. they just resell the ideas and traditions that dnd players did before it was canon #its the same reason why dnd 'home rules' slowly become 'official dnd published players handbook rules' #they didnt invent it. they just literally RECOGNIZE something that a majority has ALREADY been doing #anyways ramble done your campaigns/aus/npcs/redemption/corruption arcs are legit goodbye #random syrips theory

getting someone new to play dnd is funny because you have to be like "it's basically just make believe, so it's really self explanatory. also here's a 300 page rulebook and a calculator."

is the reddit migration real? these websites are not interchangeable at all

#tumblr is for making sure the world knows you have a headache #reddit is for finding illegal pdfs of the dnd players handbook

[bravest-notts]

red alert, my favorite coworker asked about dnd and a way to see what the game was like to play. it took my full restraint to not vibrate with excitement while going "well there's this show called critical role..."

#i did tell her they're professional players and voice actors so its like watching the nba to see what sportsball is like #and to check out handbooker helper #fingers crossed my youtube algorithm conniving will net a third success #AND i might get an irl dnd friend??? multiple friends??? 👀👀👀

My monster manual and dice set came today :D

#now I just gotta read that and the players handbook and I should be ready to find a group to play with! #I got a dice set for Christmas but I decided to get another bc they were prettier and also the numbers are a lot easier to read #also the monster manual is so thick #I think it’s a little thicker than the players handbook #idk! it seems cool! #and I’m excited! #txt #dnd

ok this is my tabletop bitching post of the day. i’m allowing myself this.

i really wish that when people defended dnd they would say like, "i like dnd i think it is a fun system" and not "well i paid $70 for the books and none of my friends want to learn something new soooooo i have to play dnd”

like it is FINE to like dnd. i am very much of the belief that a system is only as fun as the people you’re playing it with, so if you settle down with your friends to pretend to be elf wizards and dnd is the medium through which you do that, hell yeah, you can absolutely have a great time doing that. i’m currently playing dnd with friends and we’re having a really good time! we’re having fun! dnd can be fun!

but when your only defense of why you’re playing a system is the sunk cost fallacy, it doesn’t make you look like an adult who has made a reasonable decision, it makes you look like someone with stockholm syndrome. like you understand that if you say “i already spent a ton of cash on dnd!” my thought is going to be “oh! they think other ttrpgs ALSO cost $70! i should point out that most ttrpgs are $15-$30, and you can get a dungeon world pdf for $10″. if you say “my friends and i already spent all our time learning the rules of dnd, we don’t have the time to learn a new ruleset!” i’m going to think “oh! they think other ttrpgs are all at the same complexity level of dnd, i should point out that powered by the apocalypse games have pretty simple rulesets and often include cheat sheets in your purchase!”

but if you just say “i like dnd and i have fun playing it”, my response is “alright, fair enough”, ESPECIALLY if you’ve already played other games. i realized i loved other tabletop games because my friend introduced me to them and i realized things i found to be shortcomings of dnd weren’t inherent to tabletop, so i usually assume people are in the same boat i was, because if you’re not big into the culture, it’s hard to realize dnd isn’t the only game that exists. but when someone says “i’m aware of other games but i am playing dnd because it is fun to play”, then hey, i’m not in a position to tell someone else what makes them happy. i just think saying “well i already put so much time and effort into this thing so i’m going to keep playing it even if it sucks” makes it sound like you’re stuck playing a game you just tolerate instead of one you actually like, which is going to prompt people to try to help you find something you’d like better.

also i looked it up and the players handbook + dm guide + monster manual are $150 total which is an insane price and you should steal dnd like your fucking life depends on it

#ttrpg #i stand by my assertion that more actual plays should branch out tho like i think even for one shots its good to diversify #also its insane that the players handbook and dm guide are two different books like why. theyre skinny ass books just combine them #i also am sideeye at people who would rather read 150 pages of homebrew rather than 100 pages of a new game but that. is whatever #like i said i cant make you do anything and if you like dnd you like dnd #posts by me

my uncle: (calls me the R word) (comes to my house exclusively to infodump to me about horror games)

#im not gonna discuss the morality of the r word rn i dont have the energy. yes he shouldnt be calling me it. no im not offended. move on #Idk. #[whenever i refwr to my uncle i mean my aunt's partner btw.] #Ive been staying at my aunts house for the last 2 weeks bc she lives right next to where i have work experience #and ive been staying mostly in the room i sleep in purely bc im tired and my social battery is low #but usually whenever I stay over here we watch movies or play horror games or just generally talk #and hes not an emotional person but apparently hes like... genuinely worried/upset/disappointed about it #like 'does she not want to spend time with me anymore?' #and that has me emotional because hes the only family member i have that shares some of my interests and takes care to understand them #he took me to Jurassic world exhibition and Dominion because I love dinosaurs #He took me to see across the spiderverse and pirated it for me when i expressed how much i loved it #He sat down and flipped through my dnd player's handbook and asked me about it #and no other adult in my life does that it means so much to me #he listens to me infodump about httyd and talks about Spiderman with me #And infodumps back (silent hill/resident evil/music) #and the idea that he thinks i dont want to spend time with him makes me so sad #Hes the male parental figure ive wanted my entire life and he doesnt think i care. devastated. #NFKSNSJSBS #should i even post thjs at thjs point. #eh too late noe #oversharing on main #rant #vent #kinda #beverly says stuff
