    The "Old School Revival" - The Light Bulb Goes On

    I remember one of the things that made me scratch my head was hearing a lot of "Well this is how we played anyway" talk when 3e first came out. That people by and large had a unified XP chart. That people already used feats/superpowers/etc. Having played some 2e, I never saw that in play at...

    The "Old School Revival" - The Light Bulb Goes On

    You know, you can ignore the attempts to shoehorn to-hits into a formula and use the chart, right? I'm a rare creature in that I think AD&D's charts are the awesome.

    Dancey v. Mearls?

    GREYHAWK for original D&D isn't a "setting". It (SUPPLEMENT I: GREYHAWK) is a book of additional rules. SUPPLEMENT II: BLACKMOOR is both (a setting and additional rules). The WORLD OF GREYHAWK (folio) published in 1980 was very different from Gary's home GREYHAWK campaign (IIRC he used a map...

    Edition Love (not War)

    I love the concept of D&D. I don't love all forms of D&D. I do love AD&D (1st edition), original D&D (with or without SUPPLEMENTS), and some forms of basic D&D. I appreciate what Wizards attempted with "3rd edition". I love Paizo's love of GREYHAWK, which I am told carries over (in spirit)...

    Players, GMs, and "My character"...

    "You must spread some experience points around yadda yadda" Anyway. This, what you said, a thousand times over, is the only right answer to the question. If what the characters are doing is getting in the way of the story you're trying to tell, then you're not a DM, you're Garrison Keillor...

    Is a retro-clone the right game for me?

    Why not give the originals a spin? DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE - $3.98. PLAYERS HANDBOOK - $1.46 MONSTER MANUAL - $4.98 So, about $15 after shipping gives you all three AD&D rulebooks; most of the classic modules can be had for a pittance, too.

    Older Editions and "Balance" when compared to 3.5

    I wasn't talking about wizards though; I was referring to prestidigitators. Wizards have 4 1st, 4 2nd, 4 3rd, 3 4th and 3 5th level spells. Wizards have PLENTY to do.

    Real Astral Diamonds!

    Yeah, when in just about every parsec there's a "Green Devil Face" trap the size of the earth... The cosmos is truly a killer DM.

    Older Editions and "Balance" when compared to 3.5

    Why is there this endless obsession with "play balance"? "Oh boo hoo my 1st level magic user isn't calling down a rain of pure antimatter every combat segment, wah." Play balance COMES FROM HOW YOU PLAY - DM and players both. Sitting around and asking the rules to prettyplease make sure...

    Becoming a Grognard

    Step one: ask yourself, "Am I a bitter old crank?" Take things you post on the internet, take parts out of context, remove any identifying comments from them, and have friends read them or read them aloud to them and without prejudice ask them "Does that guy sound like a bitter old crank?" If...
