1) Played my first game in October of 1981. 2) Currently running two OAD&D campaigns (still my favourite) and one D&D 3.0 campaign that started over the Christmas holidays. A couple times a year I usually drag out my old DC Heroes RPG for some short JLA campaign arc that lasts for a month or...

NG Human Barbarian. Which is just right. :lol:

"Pre-emptive Strike" by Paul Culotta appeared in Dungeon #74, and features an active volcano and a bunch of tough fire giants. I haven't played it, but Culotta's stuff is generally very solid. There's some backstory involving a nearby elven nation that could be kept or scrapped, as...

My current OAD&D group is comprised of seven player characters and five henchmen NPCs, which has pretty much been its size since 1999.

Best post in the thread. Echoes my sentiments and playing habits word for word, and further speaks a lot of truth.

From comics and popular film: Lex Luthor--archetypal criminal scientist, ruthless and tenacious beyond belief, driven by ego and mania to destroy a person whose only purpose in the world is to do good (in any version of the Superman mythos). Brainiac (the 1983-86 version)--so cold and...

1. Supplement I: Greyhawk 2. B2, Keep on the Borderlands (for Moldvay-edit Basic Set) 3. Deities & Demigods, with G 1-3 green cover compilation very close second. 4. Original Ravenloft ("black box") campaign setting.

G D Q--Queen of the Spiders (without the "Q"); the distilled essance of D&D. The oAD&D DMG is a close second, however, and B1 KotB a very close third.

This thread needs more profanity. Hell, damn, fart. Crap, boobs, crap.

Hard-pressed to choose between the OAD&D DMG (for content and material) and the OAD&D Monster Manual (whose images of monsters in the dungeon fire up my imagination like nothing else can).

And the Classes (and Expasions) from OAD&D's Unearthed Arcana (for completeness):

From the OAD&D PHB:

In terms of funds at hand: Molson Export, Keith's India Pale Ale, Smithwicks.

Hope you're feeling better, Gary, and hope your birthday was outstanding. Best wishes to you and yours for a great year!

Flexor and JeffB said it well enough for me that I don't need to elaborate.

edit: Ah, nevermind. Beat to the punch, and the humour was lacking. :uhoh:

Necropolis.

It's fashionable on OOP boards like Dragonsfoot to call the Moldvay-Cook/Mentzer boxed sets BECM D&D to distinguish it from Classic/white box OD&D, or to refer to these older versions of D&D by the names of their editors: Holmes, Moldvay/Cook, Mentzer, RC (Rules 'Cyclopaedia).

A distinction must be made about "original D&D" in this regard. Original or "Classic D&D" is the wood grain/white box from '74 with the three booklets, and its four supplements "Greyhawk", "Blackmoor", "Eldritch Wizardry", and "Gods, Demigods, & Heroes". The whole of this is what was collated...
