@Canageek 2e doesn't have a char-opt minigame, so PCs are not the combo-riffic problems that they are in 3e. You don't need to DM-optimise. in reply to Canageek10 hrs ago
@Canageek You might as well ditch D&D entirely an go play foofy Nar games if the characters shouldn't ever die. (I do like foofy Nar games.) in reply to Canageek10 hrs ago
@Canageek Players who can't handle PCs dying should not play AD&D. It's a game about doing dangerous things. So, no, I'm not. in reply to Canageek10 hrs ago
That’s the real goal with this system: to capture that rising excitement you get when something chaotic starts to make sense—when order and story rise from the primordial soup and evolve flippers, then feet, and then turn into dinosaurs, and then pirates come and tame the dinosaurs and ride them into battle against their ancestral enemies in the Robot Empire.
