I agree with Dancey and SemperJase to a point. The game is complicated, but its always been that way. The difference IMO between now and 1978 is this: - Eliminate rules "back then" and it didn't matter too much unless you were a rules freak. You also had the Basic set rules to back you up in...

Get well Get well soon Gary, hope to hear from you again soon. --George A. cimerians

archive Anybody can give us a quick link to the archives? (My search here doesn't work) thanks

Yes I also was not impressed with the adventure set. Why? Because I paid 10 dollars for a sample of the real game. No matter how good it looked and what they included with it I was still upset at the limited amount of rules they put in there. Basically a sampler until you bought 3e which came...

Thanks again for the responses. Ignoring the diety that once turned you can be a little puzzling. I'm sticking with the rules.

This is probably easy or obvious but can anyone tell me if you can repeatedly Turn the "same" undead creatures that were turned? For example: Miles turns a group of zombies. The party dispatches the remaining zombies and proceed to search the room. The party takes too long and the same group of...

Hurry 2004 and 2005 could not arrive quicker for me! LA, box sets, hardbacks, C&C, Z's Castle............I must say, lots to look forward to!!

LA boxed set? Gary, Can you give us more info on the LA boxed set and other things the Troll Lords will be releasing? An approximate release date perhaps? I was very excited to hear about the re-issue of LA on Troll Lords site. Also, will the Lejendary Earth setting be re-released as well in...

Necropolis is the product I use. Its very good, check Necromacergames.com for it if your interested.

happy belated birthday happy belated birthday gary! thanks for the greatest game of all time! :D

Bears and Hobbits Hello Gary, Long time no post from me but I'm glad I've found a part IV thread here in ENWorld. Just wanted to ask: - What were the circumstances on the hobbit race being removed from the original game? Was a letter from Tolkien properties sent to TSR threatening legal...

ranger, sorcerer, bard I voted Ranger but I think the Sorcerer and Bard in 3E are pretty worthless also. Hopefully future versions will correct them. (I hope they eliminate the Sorcerer though, the whole concept is pretty lame).

ughh Oh man. More sourcebooks that have the word underdark in them and of course more 'Complete' books. I feel like I'm in the mid-90's again.

Attack of Opportunities..... 3 years later and this big 3rd edition feature still bugs me. I finally played a game with my buds without them and we had great fun. We hardly noticed it, it basically felt like we skipped over a bunch of combat rolls. One global house rule I put in is anyone...

3rd ed has really wet the appetite of those who want a character who does it all without restrictions. Play an assassin if you want a killer. The Paladin isn't one. Think of your D&D world as our own. How can you be considered a Paladin? A murderer would be a good description by a local...
