I've presented some rules for helmets in the past that were fairly well received (having them grant a benefit to Threat APs), and thought I'd present this simple alternative (from my Basic D&D campaign) for those who found them too complicated or detailed... HELMET: 1 in 6 chance of negating a...

Hey All, I figure there must be a few computer savvy people around here... I just purchased a laptop, but it doesn't have a CD/DVD ROM Drive. How do I go about installing the licensed utilities, such as my internet service, Microsoft Word, etc., that I already purchased for my desktop...

I recently had this idea for my Basic D&D campaign, but I wasn't sure if it would balance well, Then, I was re-reading my old 4th edition Gamma World, and realized it did basically the same thing. I'll try and use 3e terms for describing my system... When earning an increase to BAB, rather...

I was wondering if any of you have played it and, if so, what your impressions are. Thanks in advance :) BTW, for those who have no idea what I'm talking about... theriddleofsteel.com It sounds intriguing.

Just occurred to me that we have a wonderful resource here for topics other than just D&D. So what fields do people have degrees in? (I suppose non-degree experience could be another topic--or perhaps we could include that here as well.) I'll start the ball rolling... BA LINGUISTICS...

Just an idea to capture the feel of 1e wrt multi-classing. Namely, Humans excel as single classed characters, while Demi-Humans have an affinity for certain classes, yet tend to advance more slowly overall. (It's also intended to discourage the more rampant or non-traditional multi-classing.)...

Like the topic says...I'm just curious as to who out there still plays Basic D&D--anyone?

This is the barebones of an idea that a few of us started to hash out over on the general boards while discussing Pendragon (for those not familiar with this system, you can go HERE to get a general idea of the background for this topic). Basically, Lawful/Chaotic and Good/Evil are recorded...

Hey all, Just finished updating my Basic Dungeons & Dragons website. I've gotten "back to the basics", as it were, greatly simplifying and steamlining things. I think the new rules do a better job of remaining true to the "feel" and mechanics of Classic D&D. In particular, you might enjoy...

Everyone seems to be doing one, so I thought I'd give it a try ;) I was thinking that reintroducing the adjustments found in the 1e PHB would be a good way to add a bit of individuality to weapons; and, since most characters are proficient with a wide range of weapons now, it would also allow...

Why...your helmet of course! <---;) __________________________________________________ Another tidbit from the dusty tomes... Much of my campaign has a dark ages feel with respect to the type of armor worn, yet the primary defensive items of this time are woefully under-represented in the...

I was going through some of my old notes, and stumbled across the following. It has never been playtested, and is probably replete with bugs--but perhaps someone can pull something useful from it. Be forewarned, most of my "knowledge" concerning fencing comes from Errol Flynn movies...
