If you rolled for psionics and were really bad at it though... But seriously, I wonder how much better the world would be if there were an easy way to remove things living rent-free in our heads from ages ago.

Are old farts still important for introducing kids to the game? I got my son into it and he got several of his friends to try it (in part because they had a parent who had played back in the day). Back in 1981 I got the game because I saw it on the back of comics and heard others talk about...

Were there ever times psionic monsters with psionic blast showed up when the party had no one with psionics (or even worse I guess when someone in the party had psionics but not very good defenses?).

I went back and fixed it in the version I shared someplace so that it isn't saved online for posterity... One I did go correct when I was a student was when a building on campus was having its hundredth anniversary coming up, and they were off on one of the years by 10. It was the math...

In 1e we might have tried it a handful of times, but I don't remember it lasting. I'm almost certain we used some creatures that had them listed and just ignored them. Having them being an entire separate non-interactive thing seemed abusable even back then iirc. I notice now that, for...

A card in a library display case that probably won't get much traffic or many people that notice the error before it comes down this summer at some point (it's an authors name and the display case is off to the side).

I have not read it myself, but the reviews of the novel are... not great. The follow-up (Return to Quag Keep) was by Norton and Jean Rabe and finished after Norton's death. It's reviews are also not great. On the other hand, some of the reviews might describe a lot of D&D games (especially...

So if there's a spelling error in a display that is probably coming down soon anyway, do you point it out to the person who put it up, or just leave it? (If it was me and it was going to be up a long time I'd want to fix it, but if it's near the end of its life I think I would rather go on...

And so, @Micah Sweet, I did: https://www.enworld.org/threads/so-how-much-did-do-you-use-psionics.704236/

Another thread brought up how the question of how central psionics were to 1e. While this poll is just about 1e, the thread is about any version of the game so chime in below! Maybe about things like: In the other older ones, including OD&D, 2e, 3/3.5e did you use them? Did you like having...

To elsewhere, obviously: So this is all just a plot by a few of you to make that thread as long as this one, isn't it?

Meant "my playgroups". But now you're going to make me make a poll to see how many people used them regularly...

I mean, they put them in there, but we actively ignored it. It appears that's what GG preferred? (Dragon Magazine #103 from November 1985 about his envisioned 2nd edition): Random resource on Psionics in D&D...
