    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do You Play Basic D&D? How Was/Is it?

    Bingo- despite the title, the AD&D MM is 99% an OD&D book and completed before AD&D rules had been finalized. Not even any evidence of AC10 in the book. We used it right along-side the LBBs and Holmes* until the PHB was finally published about a year+ later. *I still use it at the table when...

    FFG Star Wars & Other Roleplaying Games Aren't Going Away After All

    Agreed, but this hasn't been the case (serving the fan-base) with Star Wars for decades. And now we are talking Disney- this is several orders of magnitude bigger than even the front RPG player, WOTC. The SW RPG is a teeny blip compared to Toys, T shirts, lunch boxes, Lego sets, Cereal boxes...

    Poll: What TSR RPG Should Be Revivified by Wizards?

    This thread had me dig into my collection last night- Sadly most of my print copies of TSR games are long gone but I do still have a original Gamma World Box set (sans dice) and though we did not play GW much (Aftermath and The Morrow Project became our PA games of choice) I still think this is...

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do You Play OD&D? How Was/Is It?

    FWIW I didn't vote. I play it all the time, and love it. But I'm not playing it right now- No Poll option felt correct,

    D&D 5E (2014) Have you actually read the 5e DMG?

    That's actually the best part. The front one anyway. Great piece of art.

    Which TTRPG did you play in 2019?

    Some of these were one shots. 3.0 5E Dungeons! Exemplars & Eidolons 13A T&T Moldvay/Cook/Marsh CoC Ruins of Arduin C&C WhiteStar IIRC that should cover it. EDIT-Palladium Fantasy

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do You Play Basic D&D? How Was/Is it?

    That is a David Sutherland cover. I started with the LBBS and this and a MM. So yes. Played it. Still run it on occasion, especially now that Dr. Holmes' original manuscript made it's way into the public after all these years. This BLOG series is a must read if you are remotely interested...

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do You Play OD&D? How Was/Is It?

    Generally for Ability scores, I have them roll (3d6) for 6 scores, and replace the lowest with 15. Arrange as you see fit. That is for OD&D/S&W. In AD&D we used 2d6+6, arrange as player sees fit Your rarely did not qualify for anything, but most of the subclasses were hard to qualify for-...

    D&D 5E (2014) Goodman Games is Reincarnating Castle Amber

    😖 OMG. You're absolutely correct. I just went and looked. I had completely forgotten about that, uhm..part :blush:

    The One Ring/Adventures in Middle-earth License Goes to Free League

    Depending on the time period, sometimes it's pretty rough in The Shire too.

    D&D 5E (2014) Goodman Games is Reincarnating Castle Amber

    I put some of my post into spoiler tags, as you were the second person along with @Weiley31 to say you were not familiar with X2 . Sorry if I ruined anything for either of you :(

    D&D 5E (2014) Goodman Games is Reincarnating Castle Amber

    Yeah don't spoil it. It's worth the wait (y) EDIT- Of course there is a conversion product on the DMs guild and the original is available in PDF and print so your DM can have at it, right away Castle Amber on DTRPG

    D&D 5E (2014) Goodman Games is Reincarnating Castle Amber

    That was my thought :) . I would also guess page count will be less than usual as they don't have multiple different print runs and no massive amount of handouts/player art (though there are some) EDIT I'm a moron. No spoilers here to see.

    TSR The Naming of Names: Metamorphosis Alpha, Boot Hill, & Gangbusters

    Crayola fought everyone tooth and nail for a long time. A tour through the Crayola factory in Pennsylvania will shed some light (I've been twice, once for each kid)

    D&D 5E (2014) Goodman Games is Reincarnating Castle Amber

    In B1, B2, and B4, they are ripe for 5E expansion as all three modules had built in areas and ideas the DM was encouraged to expand upon originally. Of course "The Isle" is big so plenty of room for expansion. With Chateau it's less straightforward. I'm guessing we will see an expanded version...

    D&D 5E (2014) Goodman Games is Reincarnating Castle Amber

    Have you checked this out? Mark of Amber I owned this back in the late 90s/Y2K, but honestly don't remember :poop: about it these days. Edit- The author lineup is quite good.

    Pathfinder 2E PF 2 Demo- Curiosity wins out

    It's an old thread, but when I went to post an update as a new post and quoting a bit from my OP, I accidentally deleted the OP. Nothing else was deleted. And YES, it's a rough fight. That Ogre is a real mutha.

    D&D 5E (2014) Goodman Games is Reincarnating Castle Amber

    The only thing that upsets me so... Tom is not around to see the birth of the OSR, how much influence he truly has had, and not here to contribute further. He's got three author credits here in these GG OAR adventures.
