    [OT] An australian Queen?!

    And some countries "on this side of the pond" are still monarchies! Indeed, not a few Amercians chose to move north rather than live in the new Republic (the United Empire Loyalists).

    I found a near mint copy of D&Dg with Cthulhu and Elric for 18 bucks!

    Try this link, Mistwell: http://www.acaeum.com/DDIndexes/SetPages/Deities.html And 'grats to Flexor! My first print DDG is my favourite book. Using it*, I built an entire series of levels on Yuggoth (via a teleporter from one of my main dungeons). Creeps the hell out of PCs when they realise...

    [Milwaukee Gamefest, 1-3 August] OAD&D tournament

    I am soooooooo going to this next year. (I'da gone this year but I just bought a new home and would've had a hard time qualifying travel expenses involved.) Great to hear that despite a rather low turn-out people seemed to have a great time. Counting the days now.....

    Why do you NOT like 3.5 ?

    For me, there can be only 1 (E). But that doesn't mean I think it should have to apply to everyone. I feel for all those left behind, however, whatever their game version preference.

    Missin' the Gaming Life So Bad ...

    heh. The internet is such a small place.... Marcie is good. Maggie is good. We bought a house up in New Sudbury and take pos. Sept 2nd. (Can't rem. if you and your fella ever saw the old "new" place or not. If not, that's terrible. We'll have to fix that with the new home.) I lurk here from...

    I would like to buy a MEGA-adventure

    "Nonsense" being relative to the subjective criteria the individual. There are still people who enjoy D&D (in whatever form) as a game, for whom "story" is secondary to overcoming the challenges of the "game" Just thought I'd throw that out there, as the original poster didn't really specify...

    I would like to buy a MEGA-adventure

    Necropolis is a grand module, with setting and background detail in an Egyptian theme delivered by the incomparable EGG. The three little (and inexpensive) volumes that contain Rappan Athuk offer a fifteen level dungeon that should provide no shortage of challenge and fun. The maps in the first...

    Happy B-Day Gary Gygax!

    Happy Birthday, sir! (checks pg. 13 of the DMG) Hmmm; seems you're down 2 points of Str and Dex, and 1 point of Con but you're up a point of Wis! We'll have to keep in mind the old adage, "youth and vigour are no match for age and wits." For, as you've been outwitting (and entertaining) us...

    Marid Casting Level

    From the MotP, Chapter 9 (Monsters). No casting level is given for the Marid's spell-like abilities (as far as I can see, anyway). Was this ever given in some errata, and does anyone, perchance, have the information at hand? Thanks in advance.

    I need good Epic adventures/modules

    Gary Gygax's Necropolis, as done for d20 by the folks at Necromancer Games is rated for 10-18th level of play, and is notoriously challenging, quite suitable for those who like high-level, "epic" style play. More details will be readily available at their website (www.necromancergames.com), I'm...

    Where did you first see THAC0?

    Strictly speaking, it wasn't in the acronymic, but pp. 196-214 contained charts with the stats of the monsters from the MM. Part of this chart was the notation "To Hit A.C. 0" and the relevant number. By the mid-80s THAC0 was a common listing in the AD&D modules (cf. Book of Lairs I, II et...

    (OOT) Happy Victoria Day

    As this is a non-political board I won't bother to go too deeply into the flaws inherent in this comment, except to note that Victoria Day is somewhat similar to President's Day in the US--the holiday is to mark the birthday celebration of our current Sovereign Lady, HM Elizabeth II, Queen of...
