Answer to What Flavor? Whizbang: I can give some details - releasing Portals fills a real big hole for us since all of the products we've released since last March have actually been written in it. But from a GM perspective it converts really really easily into 1E. Portals is most...

I am happy to embrace the game I prefer. I lament the various impediments that combine to prevent the audience for that game from growing, knowing that for the most part getting a new gamer for my (older) game means persuading one to leave some other version.

I am very pleased to announce that Spellbook Games is now open for business, ready to supply a variety of interesting and useful aids for the classic games-master, and memorable encounters from a single dungeon room up to a mini-campaign. All of our products are high-quality PDF’s with art...

Older Edition Groups I'm in that boat. Interest in 1E but no local players.

Bump! The Third (JG-inspired) Issue is out in hard copy and in pdf format. My contribution was Inferno Circle 5, which has been undiscovered now for 28 years. Go to Original D&D Discussion - Fight On! for more information. Reviewers needed too. Geoff

There needs to be more non-TSR modules in the mix.

Find Inferno Its still out there lurking about, even the second half. Sadly, I don't see a way forward for the return of Inferno with the fractured publishing market, and I keep looking through the murky crystal ball. A couple of the more old-style companies that once might have had an...

Board Games My all-time favorite board game has got to be Diplomacy (face/face or email). Other very good ones are Blokus and Scotland Yard and Ticket to Ride (mentioned already), and Kingmaker and Spies. I also liked original Squad Leader and Starship Troopers back in the day. The kids love...

Intro/Bio Hi all! I'm an old time gamer (how old? 1975 HS grad, started with D&D in 1977) who migrated to DFW 10 years ago for economic reasons and landed in Keller after stints in WVA, PA, OH, IN, IL(twice), and IA. I have the standard issue wife, son, daughter, and big black dog. After...

And both the 3E and 4E fans gang up to drive off the remaining 1E ones.

Judges Guild Fans ! Does anyone remember the 1980 module, Inferno? The completion is finished, the d20 conversion done, and it is ready for a few wicked DM's to do trial runs. The module features all 10 of Dante's Circles (yes, there is Zero Circle) stretching over 300 miles of inhospitable...

Old Judges Guild author is losing 2 campaign players to college in the near future, seeking replacements !! I play a 1E-style game (with some twists) using a house-rules set (almost nothing commercial, all home grown). The game is readily recognizable to old-style players. Current party is...

My publishing days were back in 1E, though I'm working on 3E updates now (next year?). My current home campaign could be published since there are no copyright bombs; nothing in it was taken from any copyrighted source except for a small number (6 to 9) of 1E monsters, and none of them have...

Would anyone want to try some of the Circles in the update to JG's Inferno ?? (non-standard system more similar to 1E; I can supply characters and all necessary rules; I actually have the d20 conversions done but I don't DM in d20; someone else could DM and I could just kibitz and take notes)...
