    AD&D - Arlington, VA

    In addition to the regular, biweekly 1E game I've been a part of, I decided to start another game (also 1E) to take place once a month for people on our osdnd boards who have not been able to find a group. I thought I'd post the info here, too, in case anyone might be interested. Here is the...

    [Arlington, VA] D&D 4E Experiment

    Just an update: We had our first session last Friday at the Chantilly Game Parlor--two players with me as DM. We did a low-level dungeon delve (from the book of the same name), and we started becoming familiar with the rules. (I've started an ongoing log of our experiences with 4E in my RPG...

    [Arlington, VA] D&D 4E Experiment

    Right, so I am finally interested enough in 4th edition to give it a shot. What I have in mind is getting a group together for some one-shots to try out the system. I am definitely no expert on the rules, so patience would be necessary. Frequency would not be very often, maybe once a month. I...

    DC area DM needs more players

    It really sounds like a great group. Sadly, I wouldn't be available until around 5:00 on Saturdays. I was hoping you guys met later in the afternoon. Anyway, have fun. MS

    DC area DM needs more players

    Sorry, I forgot another question: How many players do you currently have?

    DC area DM needs more players

    Hi Matthew, This sounds like something I could do, depending on certain factors, so I'd like to ask a couple of questions: 1) I understand the game takes place one Saturday a month. At what time? How long do you usually play? I'd be driving from Arlington, so while my trip would not be...

    Book Prices...

    I remember buying the 1E AD&D PHB back around 1979 or 1980 and paying $15.00 (USD) retail. At the time, as I recall, that seemed like a lot, but then again I was only about 15, so even scrounging up $1.50 for a pack of cigarettes seemed like a lot.

    Panel on Gary Gygax

    How much of the game was actually his invention and how much grew out of the creativity of others? The evolution of the game from its earliest beginnings (wargames?) to Chainmail to 1st Ed. AD&D. What they decided to add to each previous incarnation of the game, and why. If Gary were alive...

    Problem player in my group

    I've known plenty of people like this--in the 5th and 6th grade classes I used to teach. He obviously needs an ultimatum and no pulling punches: Either grow up or leave the group. Tolerating his behavior and pulling punches will only keep him the same, which is definitely not good for him...

    Problem player in my group

    Then his bad behavior is obviously consistent, in which case he needs to be asked to leave. If his behavior is affecting the rest of the group negatively and he is unable or unwilling to drop it, he needs to go. It's that simple. It makes no sense to sacrifice the entire group's enjoyment of the...

    [Northern VA / Waldorf, MD area] AD&D 2E

    BUMP--we've got some players and a group may be forming in January, but we could use one or two more players. We're looking at 2nd ed. AD&D in the Greyhawk setting.

    DC area DM needs more players

    I might be interested in this. I say "might" because I am waiting to hear back from a DM about a game possibly in Chantilly. But in the meantime, it can't hurt to learn more about your game. I'm familiar with 1st ed., having cut my teeth on it, as well as 2nd ed. What day/time do you get...

    [Northern VA / Waldorf, MD area] AD&D 2E

    Greetings all: Another gamer and I are forming a group to play 2nd ed. AD&D in the Arlington/Alexandria/Waldorf, MD area and vicinity. The campaign setting will probably be Dragonlance, though Greyhawk is a possibility. Scheduling and other details have yet to be determined, but if you think...
