Looks like a lot of fun. I've read Wizard's Amulet, but never run it. Maybe things will be different this edition. :)

Sounds awesome, want to drop any hints about it? :)

Well, DaveMage's comment was not truly a threadcrap, but an honest opinion. Now, if Dave argues the point with the intention of arguing for arguing sake, that's different. I think he just wanted to say he wished he felt the old excitement.

Nephilim itself is not mainstream, but being put out by Chaosium made it kinda mainstream.

Though not a "bizarre" game, Nephilim is a fantastic game.

Amen! :) To add my own beginning into the mix, I started with a BECMI/1E hybrid with no miniatures. After experiencing D&D with miniatures, and a lengthy stint playing Battletech, I was converted to loving my minis and enjoying their use in gaming. :)

These threads are argumentative because everything is subject to interpretation. There are parts that explicity imply the use of minis, and in the very same book parts that tell you they are optional. I think the books themselves lead to this continuous arguement. edit: As a side note, most...

Even when not using minis, every group I have been in still used counters or markers or some sort and maps. The most abstract games still had tactical encounters. I do feel that OD&D, AD&D, and 3E all assume miniature use as a core part of the D&D. But then again, we are all expressing...

Well, this state is full of strange news, strange places and very strange people. :)

This is what I am currently planning to run. I am going to use the 1E Forgotten Realms boxed set and none of the "canon" events past 1357DR.

I only selected the LGG option, as that book was the one that helped me "get" Greyhawk as a setting. Up till then, I didn't know what to make of GH.

Fantastic stuff. Please let us know if Hellhound sets that up for you.

All very good comments and suggestions. Any one got good ideas for adventures from Dungeon?

I plan on using it for source information, but the adventures are based off the Gold Box game and it shows. I was mostly curious if there were any I might have missed.

Good call, did not think to mine MooM for the information. Have not looked at it since I got it.
