marketplace rescued from giant snails

well, I disagree on the last part...too much interconnection is a problem of late. Lots of separate things go on inside a city/county/province/land. "Adventure paths" aren't all that, or rather, they aren't the "true way". "Making up stuff", ie adventures, was half the DM's fun & a major...

Thanks! As for your friend, well, it's a different sort of product, from when the DM was not just to breath life into it, but to build it out. Glad to hear you ran it well/had fun! :D and yeah, that old school art, Bill Willingham high among them for me, just does it. I suppose that dude is...

party abused by sand golem

see above, but cudos on the notion, I'd like to see Phanaton alongside an adventurer or pirate/buccaneer type

Always loved the Phanaton; Isle of Dread was so formative for me & D&D; perfect materials, time & age with me While it's easy indeed to shift several AD&D adventures there (or shift the isle from B/X), such as Dwellers of the Forbidden City, Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan & several others, making...

damn, toaster that just makes me sad, the ranger stuff...I cannot imagine no play outside dungeons, outside TSR modules (which I/we found to be almost entirely useless...all made for groups larger than we wanted to play...not that we didn't have enough players, but the game was no fun with that...

Party slew giants, freed slaves

that's the sort of stuff I was looking for! Bravo!

It's funny but I think of acclimating to the HEAT each summer; it's probably true of the cold too, but I never think of it that way. Until fairly recently I never minded the cold, even enjoyed it & winter (although -65 or so, with ice squeezing out of your eyes, is awful), but in middle age I...

I loved those V&V adds too, and likewise never even saw the game back in those days! Huge fan of Willingham & Dee artwork; they were favourites for TSR era/early art. The style just spoke to me, more so than for most friends I played with. Palladium games Justice Machine (with their first...

Trollings kicked our butts hard

LOL, SHE is underdressed? Well, if there were such things back in the 80's, there could have been a gofundme for a bee-keeper suit mandate to all female rangers, but I suspect the "paint her like one of your French girls"/au natural gofundme would raise more. Me, I'm on team artistic freedom &...

make it up for us, that's the point!

reducing pluses of items & some messing with spells (but less than blanket crocking like Gary & the lads did) is what makes planar adventuring worthwhile, the final & eternal frontier of play. d20 on completely lost this key fact. I agree on spell recovery/cleric/druids though (see post prior)...

Well...there are NO atheist clerics in 1e; if they were a thing, they'd likely be limited to L1-2 spells always. That said, you have been playing differently & like it, so super/special cleric they stay. I'd suggest the character would keep his powers in the inner planes, the ethereal, shadow &...
