My first homebrew world (probably 83') was inspired by this book:

Here's what my NEW AD&D rules are. They mainly just replace clunky stuff. 1. NO LEVEL LIMITS by race, but you stop gaining new class hp's (only con bonus) over the traditional level limit. 2. NO ABILITY SCORE REQUIREMENTS OR LIMITS for class/race/sex. Constitution: any class can get +3+4 hps...

I was HEAVILY involved with and ran games in Greyhawk regularly (about 20 years) until I got more involved in Living Greyhawk. That ended in 2003.Then I switched to Hyboria and WFRP for a long time/18yrs. Recently, I've only run short campaigns for my kid and his friends and anything I run 5e...

Mine was based on Where the Evil Dwells by Cliff Simack. 1980s

PLAYERS WANTED! Virtual Greyhawk Con is an online game convention. You'll meet plenty of people and is a great way to try out people for your VTT/online game groups. There are a TON of events this year. Everything from pre-generated character games to Living Greyhawk "bring your own character"...

I hate it. It sounds like corporate crap.

Bell curve with elimination of ends as they are encountered, where as the center would be possible to encounter multiple times.

I gave 20 bankers boxes of rpgs and books to Goodwill and the library. i saved my dnd, wfrp, aliens, and a couple books for other crap I may someday play again: star wars, dark hershey', and one ring. Ive saved all my Dungeon maga but donated my complete Dragon collection to charity years ago.

Players choice to miss..or break your weapon on a natty 1 but get a crit. No electronics on the game table. Species (race) restrictions are specific to the campaign and cultural Alignment is a thing for races. Yes, orcs and drow are naturally evil by the same way devils are and "anything goes...

My gaming group has a rule: we game as long as 3 will be there. Now, with new players you've got about a 50% show rate, so advertise longer and plan for 2 and grow from there. We discussed this during our ALIEN RPG group at the game store yesterday. We all agreed its a tough sell to get random...

I met with my financial guy last Friday. Im 50 and on track to retire at 65. Time isnt so much a factor now as energy and enthusiasm. Dunno what that will be 15 yrs from now.

No doubt you're experienced with 1e and Greyhawk, so follow the advice that we all here give each other so often: start focused. Greyhawk is an encyclopedia. If you want to ve an academic, it's all there on Canonfire, and watch LordGosumba's interviews on youtube)twitch. I too felt like running...

Why do you GM for strangers online or at conventions? What do you get out of it? I've been convention gaming for 30 years and VTT gaming for about 10. I'm soul-searching on why I bother to GM for total strangers. I'm having second thoughts about doing it anymore.

Mine is sitting on a shelf. Our Loremaster decided not to run it and so Ill probably give it away to the next kid at the game store I hear quote a line from the movies. (I'm bitter) ;)

Au contraire! If it wasn't for dnd (a particular edition) I wouldn't have left to discover systems with more consequences than just hit points! Now I crave more diverse systems. Great examples include: Cortex and WFRP3e (not the other wfrp editions). Moral consequences, scene consequences...

Ive played them all. I had to think about Lawful Evil a minute. That was a Pathfinder character.

I got hooked on dnd not because of the writing, but bc if the little sketches and cover art (1970s-1980s stuff). I think it is important.

My first experience was when I was 9 years old (1981). We were on a scouts trip to historical sites throughout minnesota. We stopped at a hobby shop in Bloomington MN. My buddy (older scout) bought the Moldvay Basic and Expert sets. We played on the way home. I was hooked. My first character was...
