    Teach Me Your Old-School Ways

    First you need the right books, and Keep on the Borderlands isn't one of them. Find yourself a copy of the Frontier Forts of Kelnore instead. It was originally published by Judges Guild... grab a JG Village Book and Castle Book if you can as well. Finally, the Ready Ref Sheets will provide an...

    Yes, I'd go with a +1 to LA including the Spell Resistance. Savage Species says you should do a +1 level adjustment for each special ability gained.

    Hmmm? No. Unlike English and Latin, and even Arabic, modifying the suffix is not the only way gender is represented, it, et and at were suffixes used to represent females such as as Bek (male) Beket (Female) and Neb (male) Nebat (Female), Nebit (Female). The at suffix was used as a prefix as...

    20 Questions about your Game

    1. Ability scores generation method? 3d6, straight down the list, re-roll 1's and 2's one time only 2. How are death and dying handled? Dying at 0 to -9 HP, Dead at -10 HP. If you are at 0, you automatically lose 1 HP per round until you are either treated or die. 3.What about raising the...

    I don't know what just happend, but it seems that Ayn Rand corrupted my player!

    Hrrrmm????... The players are not objectivists. They completely failed to understand the principles Ayn Rand set forth. If they did understand, they would have supported your experiment until you understood exactly the rewards you wanted, in playing that particular style of game. In fact, they...

    WotC Setting Search Runner ups

    Morningstar is one of the few books I have kept in my gaming library for reference and use with games. Eberron as well. I probably would have picked up more of the finalist's settings if they had been published. It was a special time in the RPG Industry, one where new ideas from the players...

    Do grognards have to be jerks?

    I didn't notice anyone at any of my tables or at nearby tables having any issues at all about any editions this trip. I pretty much ran all old school games, and even hosted a couple of 0D&D events in the Sagamore Ballroom. Went smooth, and everyone had a good time. Courtesy was rather lacking...

    Mearls: The core of D&D

    Looking over the Mearls article, the only thing I would note is the way we handled initiative back in the day, in our local group, using 0D&D. Highest Dex, starting with 18 got to act each first round... then 17's went, then 16's and so forth. In case of a tie there was a d20 roll off... With...

    Need military help Vietnam War in Nexus D20

    No one is dissing the U.S. Army here, facts are facts though. The Guard units were deployed with regular forces during 1968 and 1969 and were then rotated out and replaced with regular Army units after Tet. Not being in the regular chain of command, they adapted more quickly to combat...

    Need military help Vietnam War in Nexus D20

    The Republic of Korea sent two Infantry Divisions that were attached to the Marines for counterinsurgency and base security operations from 1964-1970. In addition they later also sent a Regimental Combat team. My understanding was that the NVA and Viet Cong had a special dislike for the ROK...

    The Arduin Grimoire and fixing the DMing issue within

    Sometimes you just need to take a break for awhile. I took a short break from 85-87. then GMed a group again out east in Boston from 88-89. Then took a long break that went from very early in 1990 to mid-1999 or so. Then I took up GMing again. It took me a couple years to get back in the...

    Floating Castle

    ...hrmm??? Indeed. For some very good reasons... From the ground the crystal is difficult to target as most of the solid stone castle is in the way. Attacking from the air would at first seem to be the easier option. Note however, the four spacious archery/wizardry platforms located both fore...
