As a grognard myself, I can empathise with the OP and prefer the (demi) human-centric approach. IMHO, as a game, there needs to be core limitations to class, race and alignment to avoid the proliferation of pseudo-classes (as in 3.x) and ever more exotic races in comically inappropriate party...

I'd expand upon Mercurius' theme of thresholds, which seems more organic than a simple dragon birthday 'boost-up'. What people haven't really considered so far in this thread are the historic events that would shape the development of dragons. In my homebrew 1E world I had the almost...

The Rhennee crop up in several Greyhawk resources, including the 1E World of Greyhawk boxed set mentioned by GenghisDon. They're often used as the 'go-to' underworld resource in creating adventures centred around the city of Greyhawk or the Nyr Dyv Sea (lake?). The Greyhawk Adventures - City of...

Ha, I haven't been back to this forum for months (been a bit consumed by work), but I loved reading this post! I'm in almost exactly the same situation, 4 kids between the ages of 2.5 and 7, of which the elder three girls are fascinated with daddies books filled with dragons, swords and elves...

Do you mean the use of binomial tables to determine hits? There's an article on this in Issue 113, page 74. Cheers

Actually, at 42 I am probably literally half way to dead! :eek: ...but no, I'd never give it up; started at aged 7 and its been such an important part of my life. Its just now I have a pregnant wife and three other kids under 5, a very hectic job and I've moved location 7 times in the last 10...

Almost daily in my teens, Weekly in my 20's, Monthly up to mid 30's, Sadly, now I'm in my early 40's I can't even say yearly as its up to half a decade since I last actually played! Still enjoy reading the old books though.

I've kind of always recognised Drawmij, as when I first joined a group back in 1979 we all used our names backwards. It was quite the fashion at the time (Nitsuj and Nosaj ride to the rescue yet again etc)! However thanks to the great link from Henry above, I'm relieved to find that despite 35...

"At first level, the party fled a tidal wave that washed away more than a 1/3rd of a city of 40,000 people and caused widespread devastation up and down a 50 mile stretch of coast line. They later learned that the tidal wave had been caused by a malfunction of an artifact of the legendary art...

Frankly, this is probably my favourite ever module! Summer, 1992 had beautiful weather in the UK and I'd just finished my second year at University. I should have sensibly got a job to earn some money but spent the entire Summer surviving on digestive biscuits and beer and DM'ing this module...

Re: Ok, here goes my first post. I know there are many less contentious issues I could have cut my teeth on, but still please be gentle... Thanks to the eloquent arguments for DoaM on this forum at least now I understand what it is. When I was first introduced to the concept it made my blood...
