Well, regardless of his tone, I'd still give him a detailed explaination with specific examples. If he says he's willing to change, then give him one more shot, perhaps.

It's a one-shot, so I won't be doing too much world-building outside of the settlement and scenerio. I'm not sure what the inspiration was, exactly; I've been wanting to run a one-shot with all of the PCs of the same race, and for some reason for the dwarf scenerio, I pictured grizzled crochety...

I like this setup ... if they were an adventuring party, then it makes sense that they'd want to meet occasionally to relive old times. That's a good way to seperate them from whatever befalls the settlement.

Wow, there's some great ideas here; thanks! :D

I'd play it for nostalga, if nothing else. I greatly perfer 3.5, but I do remember 1st Edition quite fondly.

Sometime down the road, I want to run a one-shot where all the characters are extremely old dwarves (venerable age category) who are high-level adventurers who had retired a couple of hundred years ago. Something occurs that forces them to dust-off all of their old adventuring gear and save the...

Thanks to everyone that's replied. I should have specified that I am looking for the main 3 books: PH, DMG, and MM. I bet those are the hardest ones to find, too. :(

No, I mean the actual unabridged AD&D 1E Player's Handbook, DMG, Monster Manual, etc. shrunk down to a few inches long and wide. I don't remember exact dimentions, but they were small enough to probably fit in a pocket (though probably not really comfortably).

I remember way back when, some company made itty-bitty versions of many of the old 1st-edition AD&D books. Does anyone know if these are still sold anywhere? I wasn't able to find them on eBay, at least (though it's possible I didn't use the right search text). It would be fun to have these...

Yeah, that's what I meant ... I guess I really wasn't clear. :heh:

Oh yeah, I loved the potion miscibility table from the 1E DMG! Oh, and this isn't a reason not to convert, but I also loved the old cartoons that got scattered throughout the books.

The house rule where it does affect skill points in a retroactive fashion, of course! :)

Only if I were buying them, anyway, either for a new edition, or because something happened to my existing books.

I was wondering if anyone doesn't have changes to Intelligence retroactively affect total skill points? The other way seems way too complicated to keep track of, and I can't imagine anyone perferring that. Just wondering. :cool:

So sorry that telling him went so badly, but it definately sounds like "good riddance" to me. I'm looking forward to hearing to good news, though. I assume that it has something to do with mending fences with the members of your gaming group?

I used to wing it more earlier, and follow the rules more closely now than I did before. Part of the reason is the fact that I understand the rules better than I did, previously. For whatever reason, I'm now less likely to fudge die rolls these days as well. I do make use of house rules, but...

Once in a 2e game, my group wanted to find a white dragon to hunt down and kill. They sought out rumors of white dragons in the region, and decided to pursue the one that was described as unusually large. They loaded-up on their anti-cold magic and found the dragon, which doused the party with...

I didn't vote, since I think both are true: playing D&D can bring-out the inner geek, and many geeky types are drawn to D&D.

Hmm, I didn't think about this aspect. I assume it only refers to work on actual products, but not something like having had an article or adventure published in Dragon or Dungeon?

Where's the 2006 stuff listed? I couldn't find it on wizards.com.
