Our games are solo games - 1 GM 1 player, and we use published regular modules as our time is very limited, so we want to actually game with that time, rather than come up with adventures - but we always work something that fits the character's story in there. In general that means the house...

I've really been spending a lot more time with A5E since I got the physical books. I'd been focusing on Pathfinder 1st for the past little while. To me O5E was nice and simple (especially compared to my other go-to games HERO and PF1), and I enjoyed GMing it, but there was just a little too...

I played a lot of those back in the day - I never liked the Palladium system. But thanks for the recommendation.

I have been lucky enough to be playing more, and theory crafting less, so updates to this will be sporadic. Still plan to post though.

More than anything I want to know what is out there, so I can decide if I want to use that as written or as supplementary rules. Also, while I love reading Gygaxian prose, I don't like the organization of the original books; part of why I like Osric. It really is, for me right now, a survey of...

I took a lot at what I had for this - the wife and I tend to like high level play (throwing around 8th and 9th level spells) and this stops at traditional B/X levels, but thank you. Getting into details in that helped guide me.

Thanks for all the comments, I'll be sure to check out Dragonsfoot. I've heard of it, but not really known what they were about.

I normally enjoy really complex and modern games, but am feeling a serious wave of nostalgia for the earlier days of the industry. Please share any and all opinions about the various 1st AD&D compatible OSR games. I am almost a complete novice in this area - I have OSRIC and some of the Old...

Utah, US - Got mine today!

Pledged. Always up for more monsters.

Tracking of shipment shows mine should be here Monday!

I read that thread - it was really cool. Personaly for the time Champions first came out combat was pretty simple. No to hit charts to reference, or tables like rolemaster - just roll the dice compare numbers and roll damage.

Did some fine tuning on my Armsman, Monk and the Maneuvers/spell Magus (Bladecaster - stolen from another class, I just liked that name). Did more on characters than design the last few weeks. But that has been really fun.

The biggest ones - My world has an odd cosmology and history so there are no evil gods. All gods are good or at least neutral. Evil is left to Devils and Demons and such (so yes an evil cleric in the world is by definition a devil/demon worshiper). Mindless Physical undead are neutral, undead...

We opened with Master of the fallen fortress, then we are going to do the 3 part intro society adventures. Masks of the Living God and City of Golden Death are there (no everflame, we used that for another character of mine). Pact stone Pyramid will be in there - and a lot of Society modules...

Thanks for the help. I have found all the ones I need!

I remember re-reading this years after I got into Champions/HERO and saw it was Scott Bennie that did the review (who went on to write some of the most influential and best books for the system). If I remember correctly it was Aaron Allston who reviewed it for... Space Gamer maybe.. and he did...

I think it is a fantastic system... for people not that are not me. Given I bolted from AD&D to Champions the moment I learned how it worked, primary reason - there was no randomness in character generation. I took one look at the DCC funnel and (wisely) avoided it.

So the last few days have been pretty scattershot. I did some work on veils, tried to see how editing maneuvers went. I started with Veils thinking it was the smallest of Veils, Maneuvers and Spells, and I don't think it is... lol. I made a major change to Magisters for my game - they just get...
