#thac0 — Public Fediverse posts

The "#THAC0 is not subtraction" argument is especially infuriating to me, because it's popular on #reddit, and dependent on the idea that #DungeonMasters were supposed to announce opponents #ArmorClass to players. That's a really amateurish style of old school. No adult should play like that, or defend play like that.

Still, it's maybe not as bad at whatever the fuck https://dungeonsdragons.fandom.com/wiki/THAC0 is trying to say.

Kids on #reddit got worked up over #THACO this week. The most common complaints were subtraction is hard on the brain, that #THAC0 is *not* subtraction, and THAC0 is proof #2E ruined #ADnD.

A week or so ago, I was watching a video on older versions of #DnD and #THAC0 finally really clicked hard with me. Once life settles down a bit, I'm going to work with members of my #Pathfinder group to develop an #ADnD2e game loosely based in #AlQadim as a backup for when we are missing one or more players.

I'm dying to get back to AD&D2e. That was the game I started with and that's the version that still really excites me.

I'd happily play some version of Basic D&D or one of the retro-clones, but I think if it's going to happen at all, I'll have to be the one to run it. But that's fine, I love the freedom of the earlier editions to tell a really fun, engaging story for my players.

Yes, "pen-and-paper RPG" or PnPRPG. I'm #GenXennial (formerly known as #GenXY / 80s ). Even though we're now using gadgets, and the web, it's still #PnPRPG ,#TTRPG for me is different. ^_^ LOL. I still prefer #THAC0 ! All hail THAC0! #RPG #gaming
