Part 2 of the review is up. :heh:

Anybody else? Here's the :gh: smiley to jog your memory.

I've posted part one of a comphrensive review of the 2e module WGR1 Greyhawk Ruins over at d20 Dark Ages. Before I finish the 2nd (or even third part), I was wondering what people's experiences were with this module. It's neither the "joke" module, WG7 Castle Greyhawk, nor the Expedition to...

Chivalry & Sorcery did a similar initiative system, but with counting cart. It was too much of hassle. But maybe with only 8 counts/wedges it might work better---at least for small combat.

It all depends on how the DM wants to run his game, and if the players except his decision.

I guess it all depends on if humans have free will or not. If they don't, then they truly have no choice but to except the rules as written, without alterations. If they do, then only by coercion or force can they be "made" to except things they don't like. But, according to philosophes like...

At first I was like :confused: And then I was like :-S At somepoint I became :rant: And then I got :hmm: But finally i'm just: :p

This is my final say on the issue at hand. Before looking at EN World for resources, ask yourself these important questions: 1. Why do I want to write this system? What are my objectives? 2. Are there any other systems out there that accomplish these objectives and goals? (i.e. is my system...

Therefore, the "One True System" is a myth. Somebody will eventually find something "wrong" with the current system they're using and move on.

I DM for food.

Then by all means, continue on your quest to find the "One True System."

Yep. D&D Next is in trouble. :heh:

Once Mike Mearls or somebody else high up in WotC starts excommunicating gamers, then we'll have a true schism. Until then, its just a bunch of people either bickering over how to play the game, or just sitting down and playing it. We really don't have to be one big happy family. In fact, I...

It's a myth. Just find a game system/edition that works well for your gaming group and stick with it.

I hope you had a fun game. Here's my suggestion. In the back of In Search of the Unknown, there are lists of potential NPCs to be used as hirelings. Use them. Or allow the PCs to hire a 0-level man-at-arms or two from the keep at a reasonable rate.

Given that WotC is release TSR backlist of 2e books and modules, I've been searching of for websites or blog dedicated to AD&D 2e that might have reviews for these products. AD&D 2e certainly isn't a popular edition--its campaign settings are--but I've yet to find many websites beyond...

I call it the d20 Dark Ages. Except that I argue it began back in 1989. Just as I started getting into D&D, people seemed to be leaving it. There really isn't anything you can do--except play the edition you like to play and try to get like-minded gamer-friends to do the same.

The "nasty" aspect of the gaming community once led me to believe that we're living in a "Dark Age," where gamers are fragmented by Edition Wars and petty disputes. But now I've leaned more toward relativism and say that D&D is Like Pizza. Everybody has an idea of what pizza should be, but...

I think we have the winner, folks! ^ I'd say the OSR was getting primed with the disenchantment people starting feeling toward 3.5e. But when 4e slaughtered a lot of "sacred cows" was when the OSR really took off, with blogs like Grognardia leading the pack and a number of OSR publishers coming...

Here's my retrospective of the all criticisms against each edition--its supposed to humorous, but make of it what you will: 0e: I furrow my brow in a vain effort to understand it. 1e: It was fine until Unearthed Arcana and Dragonlance ruined everything. 2e: Thac0? But I don't wanna deal with...
