Thank you, yes there were 9 in the original group and 5 of us still live close enough to play regularly. The other 4 show up about 4-6 times a year. They all DM there own campaigns. Of the other 4 original local members besides myself, they DM occasionally but prefer to play. As people have...

Are you serious??? Surely you can not believe any of what you just said!!! First of all D&D and AD&D are two completely different games, if you do not understand that it completely blows your credibility on anything to do with D&D or AD&D. To say that WotC dropped the "Advanced" because it was...

I started playing a Chainmail Fantasy campaign in 1971 (still occasionally dust it off), switched the campaign over to OD&D in 1974 and it continues to this day. Also have played some Holmes, BX and BECMI/Rules Cyclopedia. Have an OAD&D campaign also. Since campaign started in 1971 we are now at...

Get well soon Gary!

Why the *sigh*? I understood you previous post to state that you only played 3E or 3.5E, hence my comment about you not playing OD&D or OAD&D, now that I know you have played OAD&D and BECMI, I still do not understand why you call them "less consistent". How does not spelling out everything...

I would take Sir Cedric in both my OD&D campaign and in my OAD&D campaign. This is the kind of character that makes fun for everyone in the game, players and DM. Of course I view Robert E Howards Solomon Kane as one of the models of a paladin.

I agree with you that these type of house rules are not major. House rules are what make the game yours. I, for one, can not imagine playing in a campaign where the DM had no house rules at all. That would seem to me to be terribly bland and lacking personality.

If the DM is a petty tyrant, find a different game or start your own. If the DM is incompetent, same answer. I do not know why you would call either OD&D or OAD&D a "less consistent rules base" that seems to me to be an unwarranted slam against games that you have not played. The DM is...

A number of people in posts have stated that they have personally approached WotC/Hasbro and been told such. If I had the time and inclination, I am confident that I could re-find such posted comments. I feel no obligation to provide a link to everything that I post. I do not count pdfs, since...

The sad thing about this, is that you are serious. I can not imagine playing with a group of people that would disagree with the DMs ruling to the point of it becoming a "row." My group would quickly show the door to a player(s) who would consistenly stoop to wasting valuable playing time...

Oh I agree that at this late date, it would create confusion if they were to go back and try to undue the past mistakes of T$R & WotC, but there should have been no confusion if the old stuff had never been allowed to go out of print. And of course 3rd Ed AD&D should have been left with that...

No offense taken, I just wanted to make myself clear. :) Correct, P&P was not and is not, if I understand him correctly not wanting to do anything that hinders what DF and others are already doing, but wants to add opportunities for those who want to publish. And he most certainly was not...

TSR suffered from bad management by the Blooms and their hiring of numerous non-productive relatives as is well documented in posts on dozens of websites. It did not have anything whatsoever to do with keeping OD&D, Classic D&D and AD&D in print at the same time. Later on T$R under Loraine...

Here is an example: see the first two posters, they and a few others were quite firm about not wanting OSRIC in the 1E forum as it was off topic i.e. homebrew. The tone later on became more strident in my view.here I am quite aware of what "Homebrew" means and my statement is not illogical...

That is one of the many reasons that I support OSRIC. WotC/Hasbro has forever had this lame assertion that OD&D/OAD&D would compete with their current products and dilute the market. There is zero evidence that this is the case. I hope to see the better of the OSRIC products hit the 10,000+...

DF management worries about the legal issues, the 1E forum dominant group; however, is not worried about legal issues. If you followed the posts against OSRIC by that 1E froum dominant group, it is obvious that the legal issues are not the basis of their outright hatred of OSRIC, again OSRIC...

You must remember that the "1E" forum at DF is dominated by the BtB crowd and as such OSRIC is considered to be heretical. ;) Nice folks really, just take the homebrew stuff someplace else.
