KingArthur Posted May 7 Clone Share Posted May 7 Then I shall risk the penalty of a point in order to recommend something that might be more actionable for a new game referee: "The Rules of Dungeoncraft" series by Ray Winninger circa 1997-1999: his first rules were revealed in issue #256 of Dragon magazine, following his preamble or introductory essay printed in the previous issue. All 29 essays are freely available online: Ray Winninger's "Dungeoncraft" Essays (darkshire.net) I frequently choose to ignore his first rule of dungeoncraft, but his second rule of dungeoncraft is an excellent guideline that every role-playing game referee should consider following. Mr. Winninger references the byzantine ruleset of late AD&D, but most of his own rules could easily be applied to later editions published by the Wizards of the Coast as well as the old basic edition of D&D by Professor Holmes that I used to play, and other games too.

Vladim Posted May 7 Clone Share Posted May 7 Basically everything on The Alexandrian website-and I guess his new book is pretty good too (though, I haven't read it). Pretty surprised no one's mentioned it yet, tbh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted May 7 Clone Share Posted May 7 Ha, I claim credit for that nomination because @Vladim failed to explain WHY! Unfortunately, I cannot explain why either because I do not frequent that website ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladim Posted May 7 Clone Share Posted May 7 Why? Because it is really good. More specific details depend on the subject he covers. But it's comprehensive if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
