My group has been playing together for over 20 years now. We started with AD&D, moved into 2E, 3E and 3.5E. After much discussion, we all agree that we want to move away from 3.5E. The DM is looking over 1E, 2E and C&C now and will use one of them as a basis, then add back in his own houserules...

<use your own imagination and don't rely on the work of others to help you play your character or game.> Nailed it Diaglo! -KenSeg

I had a bard once that played steel drums similar to those from Jamacia. Lets hear it for odd-ball bards! :lol: -KenSeg gaming since 1978

My current gaming group, consisting of two married couples, have been gaming together for over 20 years now. Our longest running campaign is probably about a year. We play every week for between 5 and 8 hours each session with a few weekends off for family things and such. Our DM likes to run...

It will be with a sad heart that I read the last issue of Dragon magazine. True, I have not been reading it over the last decade but that was more to my time limits and lack of DMing anymore. I started playing in 1978 and Dragon was "the" magazine for our hobby. It formed the basis of many house...

I got a very good surprise on Saturday when I showed up for our weekly gaming session. Our DM had been clearing out some old desk drawers in the game room and came across his mint condition Tegel Manor. We are going to play it next weekend!! :D I have not seen this since 1979 when I played it...

Our group is evenly divided as we are two married couples. The DM and his wife were both gamers who met at a convention. She got into gaming on her own. I was the gamer and introduced my wife to gaming back when we were dating in high school, long long ago. :D -KenSeg gaming since 1978

Once a barbarian character of mine broke the hands of a wizard and cut out his tongue to prevent his casting spells to escape while transporting him back to face justice as the LGs wanted. Perfectly reasonable for his background. Couple of other players objected both in game and outside, saying...

Cutting the experience is a perfectly reasonable method to set the game pace at a level that will make the campaign the way you as the DM want it to run. Our group cut the experience rate by half after our first two campaigns using the 3.0 rules as we all felt that level progression was too...

I would like to see a decent RPG based on the Highlander theme. I played for a while in an excellent PBM message game based on Highlander run at the Dreamlyrics website by a superb DM. It was basically cooperative storytelling with a RPG mechanics for fights and such. He ran each player as a...

There have been some changes as we have grown older. Our group of three players and the DM have been playing together for over 20 years now and are like a comfortable pair of jeans. :D Two of us being old actors from school, we have always roleplayed and enjoyed plots and arcs as well as the...

-Eric Noah is the illegitamite love child of an elvish princess and a dwarven barber -Eric Noah once sang the national anthem at a Cubs game. The Cubbies lost. :( -Eric Noah has one leg longer than the other and is known as Stumpy to his friends -Eric Noah is a figment of our collective...

My beguiler is the backup healer with a wand of cure light wounds. Always a good idea to have a second person available to cast a heal in case the cleric is unconscious or in combat. -KenSeg gaming since 1978

Burn out can happen, even in a home brew world. We have been playing our DMs world for 20 years now and still prefer it to any company world. However, even a good game world needs change up at times. Move around in time a little so that the politcal situation has changed and the former city of...

Our group uses the core books almost exclusively with the addition of the classes from PHBII. We do not use prestige classes. -KenSeg gaming since 1978

I would estimate our typical campaign to last about 9 to 12 months, playing 4 times a month for about 5 to 6 hours per session. We usually stop around 9th to 11th level. -KenSeg gaming since 1978

I think the next big thing is that the game will go into long term stagnation as far as publishing goes, but that gamers will have to relearn to use their imaginations and the next big thing will become.... HOUSERULES! Much as in the earlier days, we GMs and players will have to take the core...

<However, even the math into the low-teens tends to bog down a bit for me. I'm coming to a greater and greater conclusion that the D&D I prefer lies below 10th level.> I agree Henry and we have generally stopped most of our campaigns by the time we are 11th or 12th level at most, even 8th or...

Actually I think this is a WOTC scheme and they are going to bring out 4th Edition - by reissuing 1E as a new game! :lol: Slap a new cover on it, change the names and expound on the virtues of simply play. Just think about the savings in development costs, writers, etc... -KenSeg gaming...

This is a tough one to vote in because I have not played these games at the same time of my life. It is hard not to be fond of 1E because I was younger then and nostaglia plays a big part in how we remember things from the past. I have had issues with all three versions which is why we...
