Agreed. I mentioned the Arcanum in another thread tonight. It's a fun read, but we ended up adapting some of it to 1e AD&D instead of attempting to play the game straight up. This was back in the day when we would take any new PC or NPC class from The Dragon, White Dwarf and D&D clone-like...

Hi Gang, I stopped Target (in Ashburn, VA, USA) this evening and found all of their Star Wars minis on sale 40% to 65% off. For what it's worth, that's as good and slightly better than the discount your FLGS received from his or her distributor. Thanks, Rich

Mine are: 1. DragonQuest. 2. GURPS. 3. MERP & Role Master, though we never played either straight up. We mined the modules and spell lists for 1e AD&D. 4. Palladium FRPG. Again, mined this one for 1e AD&D. 5. Arcanum. Yet again, mined this for 1e AD&D Thanks, Rich

Shin, good stuff as usual. I tried to give you XPs, but have to spread some around first. Thanks, Rich

Argh, thanks. I swear I must have BSE (lived in the UK from '89 to '95 and ate alot of beef. Not making light of it where it has hit people for real; I can't give blood here in the US as a result of my residency there. Anyway...I thought I had come up with the goblin children idea, but maybe...

Really? I BS you not...did that happen (death by mini baseball bat) in Hostel? I haven't seen the movie. Thanks, Rich

Not epic, but... PC Fighter beaten to death by goblin children wielding small baseball bats (like the ones you get on Bat Day at your local ball park).

Sounds like you might want to play a Duskblade? 3.5E PHB2.

Not much to add along the "chained Magic Jars"...iow...haven't run across it yet. But as this is the 'catch all' Legacy forum! In 1E when somebody died it was usually a race between the Cleric, the Druid and the Magic User to see who brought the dead guy back. Cleric for Raise...

If the DM agrees maybe go with: Broadsword, 1d10, 19-20/x2 from Mongoose's Conan D20 game. It's a martial weapn in that rule set. I let my 12 y/o use one with his Dread Necromancer.

I've always enjoyed Dragonquest, but never had the opportunity to play it past the mid 80s. SPI initially published it and later TSR. DragonQuest Fan Page by Snafaru There is an open source document for it.

Check out "Buy the Numbers": Buy the Numbers - S.T. Cooley Publishing | EN World PDF Store It's cheap and it should do the trick. Thanks, Rich

Thank you, sir!

I'd go with Traveller D20 (T20). The previous experience rules work well to create a space ship crew of veterans. Match the tech you see in the show to the Tech Level descriptions in the game. You are good to go then.

Keep 'em coming!

;) I shouldn't but XPs for that one! Correction. I can't give XPs for that. I must have given you XPs for something else recently.

From my days as a 1e DM, I made up: Gauntlets of Chaos I don't have the details with me, but it was based on Gauntlets of Ogre Power. The Ogre power ones increased the wearer's strength to 18.00. With the Chaos version the player rolled dice each time he made an attack. The best % roll...

I've played one Wiz/UrP/MT and DM'd 2 and I didn't find it too abusive. While you do get the 9th level spell both in Ur-Priest and Wizard at 20th level, the Ur-Priest maximum spells per level makes it less attractive when you move into Epic levels. Maybe that is the house rule solution to the...

The players have to know their characters. Total attack boni, spells prepared, short spell descriptions, magic items, saves, etc...the player needs to be familiar enough with these to prepare what his/her character will do during the round without causing a pause. Thanks, Rich

I don't remember that counterpart to Blackrazor, but I'll look through my old modules. I did find this pdf at the WotC that may be of interest: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/Dragothas_Lair.pdf Also I read somewhere that the PC game Balder's Gate II has Blackrazor in it so maybe they did...
