Fighter: AD&D Ranger: AD&D Paladin: AD&D Magic-User: AD&D Illusionist: AD&D Cleric: AD&D Thief: AD&D Assassin: original D&D Bard: THE DRAGON Monk: I'll hold my nose and say AD&D but I don't particularly care for any of them. I hate that one the least.

If I can switch off feats entirely and switch on Vanceian magic, then I'm OK with this...whatever. Now, when I say switch off, I mean OFF as in just say "those things aren't included" fullstop. Not "now I must rewrite how characters are handled" because I could make 4e into AD&D using such a...

How does this let a player create an AD&D magic-user?

To the OP: I'm 42 years old, I've got two kids, a car payment and a mortgage. I don't go out drinking and whoring around on Friday nights, I don't go blow half my wife's paycheck at the dog track, and I don't throw everyone out of the house so I can watch football all Sunday from September to...

It only gets fun when he smacks that half-hobbit in the ****.

- Giants as a playable race - Izzledore as the default adventuring locale - SUVs as a mode of transportation It just won't end well.

Hey, my last trip to the FLGS, 100% of the RPGs being played were AD&D 1e. :) That aside, with regard to this I'm tempted to say I wish the reprint was 3rd edition. I have no rules preference for that version of the game but I think 3rd edition was so monumental that it has a special...

I, Evil Otto the Deathsphere, hereby promise to phase through the walls of the BERZERKER starbase, annihilating lesser robots at random in an attempt to GET THE HUMANOID. Wait, that's not the right pledge form... "I promise to love honor and obey th..." "I promise to uphold the Constitution...

Have I mentioned how much I hate the DLC for THE ELDER SCROLLS VI: SKYRIM and indeed THE ELDER SCROLLS VII? Cause...I sure...something. Or...the other.

DRAGON AGE is a fine, fine RPG. I kind of wish it had come out years and years and years ago, and had a long lineage and following. That it came out here at what feels like la fin du monde for role-playing games in general makes me wonder if it has any future. I don't mean that in a nasty...

Brother, you don't know the half of it. There are...other...forums where posters are rending their clothes and throwing ash on their heads (metaphorically) because Wizards is daring to listen to the mean old Grognards! I mean, in spite of the fact that no, they aren't, they're offering olive...

If I buy this new D&D it will be based on what the playtest tells me, and what the final product looks like (e.g., did they listen to suggestions that put it in an area I like in terms of rules mechanics and assumed defaults for various features). If I pull the trigger it will be that and the...

There is a fellow who posts (not sure if he's on this forum) as OldGeezer on various forums. He was lucky enough to game with the original Lake Geneva group back in the day. He said this about random encounters (nee wandering monsters): "Mike commented that that's why he likes random charts...

Dragons should be tough opponents but I don't think they should necessarily be the apex predator of the game. There's tougher fights. In AD&D a good dragon fight will be hard but not impossible and include things like trying to beguile the dragon with flattery, avoiding its spells, etc. I...

Please note: this is kind of a thematic answer to a mechanical question and I apologize for that in advance but here we go... A fighter is a guy who...look, you might hate level titles but look at the 1st level fighter title in AD&D: veteran. Here's a cat who fought his way for season after...

Now...half-orcs and half-elves came straight outta Tolkien, yo, so where did these other things start popping up? I mean, what edition. BITD (ugh...cannot believe I think of 2001/2002 as "back in the day," but there we are...10 years gone as the song says) we used to make fun of the 3e...

BEGIN: FUTUREPOSTING Look, I don't care how Dragons are handled in 7th Edition, they're a core race and they'd better not remove them like they did with PLAYERS BRAINBOOK XIV in 6th edition. They, like Gelatinous Cubes and Githyanki Paladins are a core race just the way Mike Mearls (God rest...

Those sluts! We were supposed to go out this Friday! Wait a minute - you're the one whose texts I've been seeing on their phones! Me and Chuck Norris will meet you on the helipad of my 200 room mansion and settle this like gentlemen. And yes you can bring cyborg Bruce Lee as a second.

Posted by Trevor Kidd, in that thread: I think we can forget this entirely. And thank god. What an awful, awful mess that sounded like.
