    AD&D 1E What is the best way to generate ability scores for 1e AD&D?

    Also, here's a dumb idea: Roll 7d6, take 3 of them and apply them to any ability. Set aside the other 4 dice . Then roll 3d6 down the line (and back up to the top again if necessary). Now, take the results of those other 4 dice and you can each die result as wish to your stats, including the...

    AD&D 1E What is the best way to generate ability scores for 1e AD&D?

    Adjacent to this topic, was there ever a Dragon or other third party publication that provided rules for "18/00" for the other abilities besides Strength?

    Kickstarter [Kobold Press] Hastening Doom 5E Adventure for Megadungeon Month!

    World's Largest dungeon was a single level. It's not the number of levels, but the scale of the thing overall. could be 6 levels with 10,000 encounters each level. I'd call that mega.

    Shadowrun deserves better

    Oh, nice. Otherscape looks fire. I'm familiar with PBTA and tags in other games. What do you mean PBTA-like but tab-based? Like are there moves, but they are based on the tags?

    Shadowrun deserves better

    But would it be DarkRun or ShadowShadow? (Actually, DarkRun sounds pretty cool tbh). I think this is the winner answer. This is the place where the game often breaks down. I wonder if hacking was treated more like an "approach" or a "feat" - not an entire class/archetype. Rigger the same...

    The value of manned space flight?

    Mars and the Moon are dumb for permanent residents, although the moon would be a good place to set up a relay station (and concomitant services for transient travellers) who are going to... VENUS! Gravity near to earth gravity. Air pressure almost equal to earth air pressure at about 50km...

    RPG Evolution: taking the initiative

    Unpredictable isn't helpful when you are running a table with 10 people who all have a super distracting object in their pockets - at least that's what I took to be the point of the OP. [whoops hit send too soon] Certainly in smaller groups, tied initiative, simultaneous actions, and...

    Faction Rules - What do we like?

    System's I've used, gently, because none of my games have ever gotten long-term enough for me to really push the factions around or to engage with the faction mini-game. * Without Number a|state and most FitD I guess Urban Shadows And then there's World of Darkness is basically entirely about...

    Friday Fun: Your Formative Geek Media

    Oz books - got my first at age 5 or so, read all 13 or so LFBaum's by age 9-10. Fantastic Four and X-Men comics. Heavy Metal that I would steal reads of at the magazine store. Teenage me's hormones gone wild. But introduced me to Euro creators like Möbius, Bilal, Tardi, etc. TinTin and Asterix...

    What RPG(s) did you stick with an earlier edition?

    I regret selling my GURPS 3e core rules before we realized we didn't want to keep going with 4e. game group fell apart at that point. But maybe that's avoiding the question. I don't actually own any later rules sets of Traveller after 1981 version - so I guess that would be my answer? (I did...
