I very much agree. Played all editions, and keep going back to the Olden Days. I have a great preference for the freedom these less structured rules give me than the more recent ones.

61 years old, and been playing some form of D&D since 1980...still do. I wrote some for Dragon Magazine and some other stuff for Runequest, so I have been around a while. I just decided to reunite online with a group I played with in Michigan for 25 years, and in deciding what system to use, I...

Howdy! Just my two cents worth, as Greyhawk is one of my favorite settings..in fact, the only one I have ever used for a D&D style game other than my homebrew world. It was also the inspiration for my homebrew world when I first bought the 1983 Folio new when it first came out (yes, I am...

Died? No. Changed Greatly? Definitely.

I wrote such an article many years ago for dragon Magazine..."Bonds of Brotherhood". It was written for 2nd Edtion, but it still has some relevance I believe. If you can find it, it might give you some ideas to avoid this stereotype.

So, I have been working on a generic (but very detailed) homebrew world, which I have almost completely converted over to 5th Edition. I was just going to have several copies printed on Lulu, then maybe open up the PDF if anyone wanted it. It has several "D&D'isms" (Yuan-Ti, Thr-Kreen)...

55 as of Sunday (sorta...February 29th actually), so you can put me down for 55 years old but only having 13.75 Birthdays! :) TGyph

Heh. A friend saw this post and asked me to repost my setup on our old FASA Star Trek Game... Keep in mind this was well over 20 years ago (yes I am old). We were using the FASA rules, so circa 1983. We gamed in my friend's basement in Michigan, so we could more or less leave things set up as...

Howdy! I wrote four articles for Dragon Magazine back in the day (meaning the 80's). They were articles (if interested they were "The Wild Warriors", "Bonds of Brotherhood", "The Other Orientals", and "To all a Good Knight"). If was per word...I want to say 3 cents a word, but I will...

For some reason, I have always envisioned (and treated) Eladrin as more like the elves form the Poul Anderson's work "The Broken Sword"...kinda cold Fey-visioned Elves who could step between worlds rather easily. Great book btw if you have never read it... TGryph

I refer you to some old Classic Universal Movies "House of Frankenstein" and "House of Dracula", which features Dracula, The Wolfman AND the Frankenstein monster. HOF is much more entertaining. TGryph

I just put them in the Hepmonaland, replacing the Tuon and just using the same culture. A war between Dragonborn and Yuan-Ti appeals to me... TGryph

That's what I thought. Thank you both for your reply. TGryph

I have been reading this thread with great interest, and would also like to thank those who spent their time and effort into their replies. One thing I have been curious about and have been unable to find an answer is, if two deities in the same pantheon have the same Domain (i.e say...

Howdy! For the past year, my group has been searching for an OSR game to use in the off weeks from my Runequest 6 campaign. We recently settled on Blood & Treasure. Lots of character types and game options packed in to a very simple system...plus, it is just a lot of fun! TGryph

I can't speak for the later issues, but back in the mid 100'2 to low 200's I had four articles published in Dragon, with none of the situations you described. It was quite a while ago, but as I recall.. I sent in a sheet with several Article Ideas. They told me to develop a...

Well....lets see... We received the first packet in January of 1996. There were 3 booklets, a package of template, some special cards, and some colored stones, all necessary to play. It had a lot of the usual concepts to a roleplaying game (Characteristics, Flaws and Virtues, different races...

There was a M:TG roleplaying game produced, at least in playtesting form. My group was one of the playtesting group for Manastorm. While it had interesting ideas, there was one part of it that rendered the game unplayable. We were in deep discussion to fix said issue when we got the...

Look at the Mongoose version of Traveller. One simple book for everything you mentioned... Here TGryph

I had a similar problem, but was able to solve it by running the program as the administrator. Just right-click on the program in the Start Menu, and then "Run as Administrator". Click ok on the pop-up box and you should be good to go! TGryph Old-School Guy!
