    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Howdy! I also like PDFs for the same reason. That is why I am willing to buy the old TSR ones, even though I have the books. Plus, I used to store them on my work laptop so I can access them on the road (in my previous job). Mike

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Howdy! I think that I understand - thanks! :) I enjoy reading your posts about HoMP -- that is one adventure I am waiting for! :) I like how you designed LA to handle more than just dungeon exploration. It seems like an LM can create a world to explore and players can create Avatars to...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Howdy! It sounds like LA can emulate a progressive dungeon setting like in OAD&D, except that the levels would be much larger since it would takes longer to traverse them, allowing characters to gain power before heading lower. AlLternativelly, the extra dimension of LA opens the possibility...

    Looking for new fantasy RPG - story & roleplay oriented !

    Howdy! I would like to second all of the recommendations for LA. It seems to have all of the elements you are looking for -- rules light, emphasizing role playing, etc. There is already a free quick start guide as mentioned before, on-line support at www.lejendary.com and Dragonsfoot (among...

    Is Lejendary Adventures any good?

    Howdy! I have read the rules but have not ran a game yet. I hope to get my group to try it soon. It seems to me that LA has a "flavor" similar to OAD&D, although it is primarily skill-bundled based rather than class based. It does have a construct similar to classes, called Orders, but...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Howdy! What are the differences in using OAD&D versus LA when making a dungeon with increasing dangers? Thanks! Mike

    Howdy! This is great news! When should we expect to see them at our local stores? Thanks! Mike

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Howdy! I hadn't thought of that before but you are right. Even after a quarter of a century I am still learning new things about the game! :) Thanks again! Mike

    Howdy! That makes perfect sense to me. :) Thanks for responding! Mike

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Howdy! I can see having nonintelligent undead from any race - it makes some nice variations on the monster. ;) Based upon what you said, then it is the presence of a soul that permits the existance of higher-level undead. So would it be correct to assume that any creature that one could use...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Howdy! I have to agree with this - the OAD&D Ranger is the correct one IMO. I remember glancing through the 2nd edition books when they were first released to see what changed. I saw what they did to the Ranger and decided that the edition was not for me! Mike

    WotC warped book covers...

    Howdy! I just wanted to say that I have also seen the same things with the last bunch of hardcovers at my local store. I can't recall which was the first one with the cover problem, though. I don't know if it is just this year's batch or if it goes back to last year's releases as well. Mike

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Howdy! Sounds like that will be fun! :) BTW, how would you (or do you) handle the transitions between modules? Are the same Avatars used and you create a story to get them to the next module? Or do you write a mini-adventure that bridges the modules? Or just have them create new Avatars...
