I bought Ben a copy of the AD&D 5e Starter Pack for Xmas, let’s hope he reciprocates by asking me to join in, although how to do that while’s he’s abroad might be fun … need to check out NWN worlds. Here are some notes….

Here’s the original D&D artwork<\/p>\n\n\n

NWN about which I have written<\/a> is\/was based on the 3E rules, Baldur’s Gate, also on this wiki<\/a> is based on the 2e rules, and there’s one or two more things I have posted, such as this, on 3e saving throws<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have written a bit about it on this wiki<\/a>, and partly because of Ben’s present, got caught up in the 2018-20 reawakening, which may have been provoked by Critical Role. where I have finally caught up with Campaign 2. I made a page, https:\/\/davelevy.info\/wiki\/watching-critical-role\/<\/a> and for 5e its worth looking at http:\/\/dnd5e.wikidot.com\/<\/a> which is very useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found a 3rd Party ch aracter generator site, which seemed to be a work in progress,\u00a0 called orcpub2!. This it seems was always skating on the edges of even the 2010’s more liberal IP custody by WOTC and has now gone away; the orcpub2 code might have been rescued<\/a>, but I lost a couple of potential characters on that site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s quite a lot of stuff on the history of D&D which I tried to contribute a little to in this  article on my  blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
