Yes, Saltmarsh! Slipped my mind but another great one. I've run it a couple of times for different groups, with only one of them actually making it to The Final Enemy... Again a setting based module, albeit one where you need to create the setting details yourself.

There are some staples of old school you'll often hear repeated that are definitely worth looking into: Keep on the Borderlands (basic and AD&D) Against the Cult of the Reptile God (AD&D) Village of Hommlet (AD&D) Castle Caldwell and Beyond (Basic) Isle of Dread (Basic) Dymrak Dread (Basic)...

What do they serve? The bitter tears of all my broken players... :devilish: ... er... I mean cool thread! :cool:

I've noticed a trend I've luckily not yet had happen to me personally - that being players dictating to the DM how the game should be run. So that's a big no-no for me. There are certainly ways to talk to a DM about their game if it's not fun, or if the DM asks for input, and certainly you...

I am normally a 1st Ed guy, so the idea of a single HP recovery per day is fine by me! :P I liked the idea of the Gritty Realism variant in the DMG, but it wasn't quite right. I have been pondering an 'Old School gritty' slower healing set of houserules within the 5e playground. This is what...

I think that's ultimately the key to warlocks - is how involved the patron is. As a DM, a player taking a Warlock will know that you don't bind your soul to greater beings without a downside... the patron wants something and it won't always be in line with the player's goals. (and sometimes it...

Being fairly new to 5e (past 8 months) I admit I turned my nose up to the Warlock at first glance, but have since reviewed it and decided I kind of like what it has to offer. (specifically avoiding taking Eldritch Blast just to go against the grain!) =) I've had the chance to play a Monk and...

I have to vehemently disagree with your assessment of the 1e Monk. You have a few details wrong, but there's more to it. First - they use the Cleric matrix not the Thief's, which is 2nd only to the Fighter's. They use the Thief SAVING THROW table, though. Also the Paladin has the largest xp...

I'm assuming you mean 5e... Goodman Games has been doing a line of updated old school adventures, their first one is a recreation of Keep on the Borderlands and In Search of the Unknown. (Called 'Into the Borderlands') Setting the Keep and nearby dungeons a day or two from Saltmarsh could add a...

I am currently running a 1st Ed campaign, which is my system of choice. I do dabble in 5th ed, but 1st ed is where it's at for me. I don't want to get into a whole essay about my reasons, but since getting into D&D in the mid-80s I've played BECMI, 1st ed, 2nd ed, 3rd ed and 5th ed... with...
