To add some tension (like in O11, where they had limited time to execute certain moves because the power would come back on etc.), have a hostile environment. Maybe there is a sphere of annihilation somewhere that has sucked out all the air, the PC's will need to find some way to breathe in an...

Phaw.... naturally the OD&D version is much better regardless which class, rule, spell or whatever you speak of.... furthermore... such is not an opinion, such is the holy truth... all those who do not think my way is the only way shall burn in the nine hells (according to the old constellation...

Hmmm.... I am definately of the Third Way. I am a book collector, and like to read up on as much as possible. On the other hand, I am very restrictive towards what I do and do not allow to my players. Even most rules in the core books often do not see any use, and I often have a specific...

I voted other.... most Fantasy RPG's are not spin off's, they are (IMHO) poor and thin imitations of the real deal. Sure, for some the rules may be better, or the concept behind them somehow cool, but for me, DnD has something all-encompassing, massive, you-can-do-anything-with-it and simply...

I concur with Warbringer. Still have all previous editions, most of my older books even still have that first edition smell to them.... the sniff of nostalgia... What I WOULD like to see, is a special edition book that compiles stuff into a single volume. Think DMG I+II + the DM stuff from...

Hmmmm.. two things... The clerics of Waukeen WERE in collusion with the bad guys. Even if unwittingly, the whole 'they only did it cus asked' is somewhat convoluted and from a gaming perspective, not very logical, unless you have positioned the Waukeen temples as 'neutral' brokers and bankers...

Get your hands on the 'dungeoncraft' articles. They float around here somewhere.

Hmmm... just a thought... to all those creative ppls out there... should you find your creation too large (i.e. more then the word limit), or deem it not good enuff, maybe it can be submitted here to ENWorld, for the downloads section? That way, we can get some more cool downloads here at...

So, now Erik Mona did all that work... for nothing??? You had it all along!!! ;)

Hmmm... it just states that the map must be an original (i.e. not something cut and pasted), and that it must be rendered in ink.... isnt a map 'drawn' using cartography software (even something free as Dungeon Crafter) and then printed using a bubblejet or inkjet printer also 'rendered in...

Yup, as Diaglo said: GreyHawk Adventures, the hardcover book from first edition AD&D.

A Cheeto is a player who cheats. Players who cheat get smashed to tiny little bits by the RPG police, the remains then become edible snacks for the DM. Thus the word Cheeto became the name for a famous cheesy product. Prolly because most cheating players were kinda cheesy (tasting?) to begin with...

Hmm.... yeah... the hoarding of monetary treasure is more scottish then german... hmmm.... tough to decide how to characterize my dwarves...

Well... I did play (and DM) 1st edition DL, but we ran 'homebrew' adventures off of the DLA book. We never ran the modules. The world itself is a lot of fun, and especially at the time was decidedly 'different'. We had all read the novels (the first three), and usually set our game somewhere in...

IIRC, the dwarves in the gord the rogue novels spoke 'german'. I do not recall them yodelling however... The beer drinking and dour moods are definately more german then scottish AFAIAC.

Hah... not myself, but a DM made a silly mistake. He thought it would be cool to tease the PC's with the following setup: - a room filled with tons of magic items (about 60-80) - the room is a sort of 'sensory deprivation room': - you cannot see the items - you cannot feel the items The...

Actually, in the old GHA, there WAS a short 0-level adventure included with the rules. Never actually played it tho.

Well... it WAS the case for the earlier 'modules' (f. ex. B1 and 2, X1), thus prolly coining the word. Many (most?) later 'modules' were actually adventures.... Just a hypothesis...

Words like 'comambulate'... as a foreigner, I pretty much learned to speak english (vocabulary and spelling wise) better then most native speakers due to 1st edition AD&D. When I went to college in the States, local fellow students asked ME how to spell stuff... _Most_ people who complain...

Hmmm... I think the control part is somewhat flawed. Depends also a bit as to what you consider to be control over the game. I think the main thing is the rules stuff. New school is rules heavy, old school is rules light. As a result, Old school is more free form, New School is more codified...
