Thanks, but none of the rulebooks are there, like the DMG and the PHB. I guess I should also have clarified I am after the 1st edition stuff.

Anyone else have any input on old PDFs that they have purchased?

I thought the old Core Rules stuff was 2nd edition.

There are some books that Paizo sells, such as the 1st ed DMG that says they corrected a missing page. $1.95 is a pretty big deal if you are buying a number of books, especially if the only difference is the watermarks. (Which, by the way, I don't care about since I happen to work for a...

There are a number of places that sell classic AD&D books in PDF form and I wanted to know from any of you out there who have purchased from various sources what the difference from vendor to vendor. Are the PDF books you buy from RPG Now different from those you get from say Paizo? They are...

Is there a list somewhere of which books are 3.5 and which are 3.0?

Well, as you can see by my avatar, I'm a Star Frontiers guy all the way. But, I have to say that Traveller is far more popular these days, though I had never heard of it until sometime in the mid 90s, when I came across MegaTraveller. So I can't really say how popular either of them was in the...

I've been playing with my old high school group for the last year or so, once a month, and the game went well, but for some reason everyone wanted to go back to 1st edition. ???? So, I chose not to continue with that and am looking for a new game to get in on. I'd prefer weeknights, although...

1. I'm sure some deities would, but I know of no rule which says this. Where did you see this rule? 2. When I run a game, a cleric with no deity is a cleric with no spells.

I used to LOVE Dragonlance. I bought the old AD&D hardcover as soon as it came out. I had read every single book in the series up until Dragons of Summer Flame. When I finished that book, I swore I'd never read another Dragonlance book again. And I haven't. I was done with that setting when they...

I actually meant what if the four party members were 8th level wizards going against an 8th level wizard. Anyway, I see your point. I guess I am just trying to figure out what level to throw at a party of 6 with EL 6 for a climactic encounter. It seems like I should throw a CR 5, 6, or 7 Wizard...

What would the CR for say a Human Wizard of level 8? The DM's Guide implies that it would be CR 8. If that's so, a party of four 8th level characters should be sufficiently challenged. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, especially if one of them is an 8th level wizard himself. And what if...

I am in the process of building a prestige class for clerics of each of my gods in my homebrew. I want most of them to have the "+1 to existing class level" for spell progressions. What do I need to keep in mind in order to balance the rest of the abilities of the classes so that they are not...

What do you think about keeping the spell progression and removing the extra domain instead? Or reducing a save category down? I'd rather not remove the spell progression.

Well, the Morninglord of Lathander is in the same boat, losing nothing to gain a lot. Same BAB as a cleric, same saves, same spellcasting, same turning. Obviously, I threw in some powers from the Eye of Horus-Re to replace some powers, but at higher levels than normal. I also gave no powers in...
