If your interested in being a player in a 2e AD&D game that runs on Friday nights at 9pm EST (which should be roughly 7pm your time) I'm looking for a few more players. Email me at philistus@yahoo.com. We use Skype and OpenRPG to communicate.

Hello Everyone, I live near Winchester, Virginia and am looking for a group. I am mostly a 1e/2e AD&D player who also enjoys any strategy war game (any war game will do). I'm looking for a group that play Friday - Sunday, as I work long days during the week. I am open to hosting and will soon...

We currently have 4 consistent players and I am looking for either 2 more to fill out the current group, or 3 more to start a new group (with a different date/time). Our current group has 2 rogues, 1 mage, and 1 fighter.

Hello All, I'm looking to start a 2e group in northern Virginia. I would be more than happy to host the game at my place in Berryville. I am looking for a group of 3-6 players. While I would like to have a large group, I am comfortable starting off with 2 players and working new players in as...

I think alignments are a great mechanical tool for a role playing game, since it helps create boundaries and benchmarks for creatures and magic. However, I never found "alignment languages" to make any sense at all. The overall concept is just odd, so its always gone ignored/never selected.

Oooh oooh! I wanna play semantics too! 2e did have half-orcs, just read the 2e monster manual! ThAC0 is just a calculation TO HIT ARMOR CLASS 0... Its just an "acronym". In 1E or OD&D if a creature had a 0 Armor class, then you had to roll... TO HIT ARMOR CLASS 0.... OMG NOT IN 1E!!! Therefore...

I like this explanation the best. Succinct and logical. Not quiet sure why everyone else just gets really mad about the question though (probably the poor way I framed it I guess).

:-)

I guess I am not elaborating enough. If you are using the 2e mechanics (AC, THAC0, Savings Throws, Levels, Combat System, Character progression system, etc) then the "content" is not relevant, its still the same game. For example, I know Ravenloft, Forgotten Realms, and the Outplanes are all...

I took out that offending phrase, so if you want top get down from your white horse or climb down from your ivory tower of eliteness, feel free, the mud's been removed. ;)

Essentially, there are a bunch of different games out there that have the "crawl, kill, loot" sequence to them. Heroes Quest is not D&D, but is the same principal. Myths and Magic, same thing, different game. The question is valid, and is not an attack on 4e (though I shouldnt have called 3.5 a...

An opportunity for a quick lesson in TEAM WORK. Have the woman in the apartment scream and have the Players turn on him and turn him over to the guards. :-) I mean, if the party is going to keep one group of thugs from committing a crime, why not stop another lone thug from committing a crime...

I'm an old timer, been playing D&D for over 20 years. Started with the basic set, moved up to 1e, and then 2e w/supplementals. When 3e came out, I was so familiar with 2e that it did not make sense even in the slightest to try 3e. I'd follow some topics on 3e and say "hrm... thats strange and...

I think I might add to much emphasis on role playing as opposed to roll play, because I just dont see what the big deal is about all of this. I mean, physics and the basic law of supply and demand can sort this out.... 1. Your first battle pits you against 20 armed guards in chain mail in some...
