Of the dozen-plus articles, the first 9 were written by Lawrence Schick & Tom Moldvay; others pitched in at the end, including Dave Cook, Katherine Kerr, and Roger Moore. Characters were written up in the early 1E AD&D style.<br /><br />Could someone create character sheets for these named characters written up in D&D 2024? As the D&D 2024 players’ handbook will be published in September 17, 2024, it would then be easy to create these character sheets. I would love to use these as player characters in my upcoming D&D 2024 campaign.James Patrick Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205917964978882398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235723561669495748.post-90285475120972571362024-02-18T17:18:27.266-08:002024-02-18T17:18:27.266-08:00A party owned bastion above a river could include ...A party owned bastion above a river could include one or more water wheels for creating hydropower mechanical energy for grinding grain and fulling cloth. Water wheels also power bellows at blast furnaces as well as trip hammers at the metal smith’s forge. With hydropower, these simple machines never get tired and run at a steady rate. By having NPCs process raw materials into consumer goods at the party’s bastion, it creates passive income for the party.James Patrick Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205917964978882398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235723561669495748.post-69996035776292617472024-01-10T22:16:46.421-08:002024-01-10T22:16:46.421-08:0010.

For example, I will allow a character to live if they retreat in the face of an overwhelming threat. An enemy NPC will laugh instead of attacking, as a smart player character runs away. But, if a player runs their character as a “murder hobo”, disregarding common sense, logic, and self-preservation then I let a difficult situation combined with the dice decide if their character lives or dies.James Patrick Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205917964978882398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235723561669495748.post-81134294681785310532024-01-08T17:53:55.872-08:002024-01-08T17:53:55.872-08:00My revision: “My third resolution is to keep on w...My revision: “My third resolution is to keep on writing my Angry Cab Comic; a comic about WASS.

Look at the reason why Princess Luna became Nightmare Moon.<br /><br />When the ponies of Equestria slept during the night, they were resting from a long day of work and play. However, in Princess Luna’s young and inexperienced mind, she inferred that their sleeping was a rejection of her night, her abilities as an Equestrian Princess, and in turn was a personal rejection of her as their princess and as a pony.<br /><br />Princess Luna becoming Nightmare Moon could have been avoided if Luna had talked to her subjects and worked out a compromise where the ponies would spend one night each month staying awake and celebrating the night and the princess of the night.<br /><br />The Princess Luna - Nightmare Moon story became an allegory of the misinterpretations a creative person has when they interpret a rejection of their work as a personal rejection of themselves. That kind of insight, portrayed within the context of a television series, is ingenious.<br />James Patrick Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205917964978882398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235723561669495748.post-74827360536967367712014-02-13T11:36:10.888-08:002014-02-13T11:36:10.888-08:00I love the idea of the Cutie Mark Crusaders (CMC) ...I love the idea of the Cutie Mark Crusaders (CMC) earning their cutie marks at the WASS base.

I told Kathy, “I need to go to the little stallion’s room”, which surprised both me and Kathy.<br /><br />Kathy replied, “I can use that line on my husband the next time I need to use the restroom at the local shopping mall.
