I felt the Blumes were ID10T errors for a long time...this just proves my long standing view of them is valid - again. Does anyone know where any of this material could be found? In my current 1st ed AD&D group, one player insisted her two children join and play (ages 11 & 13) because she felt...

DM 1st ed AD&D Greyhawk "Celene Campaign" w/three groups of active adventures at present - several times a month. Play 1st ed AD&D 3e D&D

25 years Still running the same 1st ed AD&D campaign that started in 1980 as a 1st ed AD&D game w/a little 2nd ed & 3e influence. I did take a few years off from gaming due to work, family etc

Another time, another place, another D&D game... I started playing with 1st ed AD&D. I was less than happy with 2e when it appeared. Some of the 2nd ed material was ok, however fairly soon the quality declined as the number of products increased. Seems that 3.0 is like 1st ed AD&D and 3.5 is...

The Illusionist... Gary, would you share your views on the Illusionist class regarding the following? Per AD&D 1st ed PHB p100 in bold. First Level Magic-user Spells Level:7 Componets:* Range:* Casting Time:* Duration:* Saving...

Tomb of Horrors!!! for the big screen. I think it would make an intense suspense movie like Alien. I know it would light years better than the drivel that HollyWood turns out. The natural sequel would be Return to the Tomb of Horrors. :cool: Thank you for answering all the Sleep questions.

Indeed Gary, thank you for taking the time to post, share tidbits, answer questions and giving us the wonderful game of AD&D. A friend of mine wanted me to ask about this specific example: Cias asked: I understand that, according to Gary's last reply, if a magic-user casts sleep at a group...

Rating depends on the group and time period. As a teen gaming with other teens, in the 80's PG-13 to NC-17, due to extreme violent content, drugs, language, & occassional sex. As a young adult in college PG to PG-13, due to violent content & language. As a mature adult DMing a game with a...

For the current campaign I DM, I would not allow that Paladin. My group has eight players, 1/2 are male and 1/2 are female. Two are 13 year old males and another is an 11 year old female. Game content is limited to PG at most. Likewise, while a good concept, it is not in keeping with what is...

1.)How long have you been gaming? Wargaming since 1975. Played Blue boxed D&D in 1978 a few times. Started playing AD&D in 1980. Took a break from gaming between August of 1995 and August 2004. 2.)What do you play? DM & play in a 1st ed AD&D campaign restarted where it left off in 1995. Play...

I'm surprised that anyone would consider leaving the parties 11th level wizard and 11th level cleric behind. Seems like an effort should have been made to get them to come along as NPC etc or a side adventure ran until their players could attend. While most of my gaming background w/D&D is 1st...

If I was going to try to GM a hard sci-fi RPG, I would review some of Charles Sheifeld(sp) writings. He's one of the few current hard sci-fi writers. Most of his works cover space exploration in the solar system, specifically astroid belts, gas clouds etc. Colonies have been formed and are tired...

Egg

Any from the DMG? An artifact of my choice, like the Machine of Lum the Mad, provided I get to pick out the powers, ill effects and side effects!. On a more reasonable note, the Mirror of Mental Prowness as mentioned above. All so on an evenmore reasonable note, Bucknards Everfull Purse would...

I don't like observers in principle, I want them to be involved with the game if they are there. With that said I have allowed folks that wanted to observer do so. Turned out that was a very wise more as my group gained four players over the years by doing so. I think it's worth doing and...

In mature groups I've played and DM'd adventure parties that were "evil". This worked fine however it was only with experienced players and a co-DM that was on the same page. Our evil characters were almost always lawful evil and most of the evil came from being pragmatic. The prisoners are a...

C&C is Castles and Crusades

Say starting out the first year you game you buy $150 worth of WotC books. You play 50 weekends for ~4 hours each session for 200 hours of gaming time. Your entertainment cost about .75 cents an hour and your have a set of books you can keep using if you keep playing. Of course if you factor in...

Being a wargamer first, I pretty much despised the orginal D&D due to the sloppy rule set. AD&D was better but not really a nice tight rule set like a wargame. 2nd AD&D has parts worth stealing for 1st AD&D but is a lame game if one drifts away from the core books. Late 2nd ed = puke 3e's rule...

I think the key reason humans are dominate is that EGG wanted them dominate because so much of his personal GreyHawk campaign was geared around research, he did about medival europe. There isn't any reason humans should be dominate in a campaign if the DM wish otherwise. My AD&D gaming...
