P. 105 of the original Players Handbook - the "example of combat" - is all about grappling, morale checks, spell timing by segment - all rules that most DMs ignored!<br /><br />But having seen a playtest draft of Doug's rules, I can attest to their utility over What Has Gone Before. It makes me want to do a dungeon with a "monster arena" sub-level (or have the PCs get captured and tossed into it)... <br />David Pulverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00857524962421597982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-23157654405432236372016-11-08T00:22:27.616-05:002016-11-08T00:22:27.616-05:00Thanks to the Tavern for their generosity!

Shipping overseas is crazy-town these days, and requires a lot of folks in one area of the world to want something. That allows either local print-and-deliver, or using a freight forwarder to get a box or pallet to a common location, and then shipping internally to the country. I don't want my backers to suffer for that difficulty. <br /><br />I do want to see this in print one day, but I'm approaching that cautiously.)Douglas Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292678529266123501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-28219002109328210922016-11-07T16:00:54.617-05:002016-11-07T16:00:54.617-05:00Thanks for the kind words.

I've messaged Matt at least once to see if my method of dealing with it is satisfactory enough to allow me to put a logo in the book, or on the cover. Answer may well be "no," because I don't do the descending [ascending] AC format - the Grapple DC makes the most sense as an ascending number, and thus one rule rings them all.<br /><br />Again: thanks for the kind words. At least one backer has already pledged after your post here!Douglas Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292678529266123501noreply@blogger.com
