    How is Old School not at least related to nostalgia?

    Stop. I'm doing no such thing. There's no recapturing happening. I don't wish I was twelve again (I hated middle school and when I could game, I did game with a bunch of dicks), I don't pine for some far-away time (I didn't grasp the rules well enough then to play them as I do now), I don't...

    What is your favorite edition of D&D and why?

    AD&D. I prefer the aesthetics (AD&D has art that with little exception has yet to be matched by later editions (although there are some bad pieces)), Gary's writing style gives the game a life of its own, and the rules mechanics are "just right". Combat: I like how surprise works (even the...

    At Gencon, Did you learn or try anything new?

    I learned that ad-hoc modification of local power buses and voltage controls near a pizzeria stand in an attempt to turn a heat lamp into a coherent meson ray using this century's technology is at best a poor id - haha...but I've said too much already. Delphar 7 to control, Delphar 7 to...

    Warhammer FRPG

    WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLE-PLAY, 1e and 2e, is the game where the players think they're playing D&D, but the game master knows they're playing CALL OF CTHULHU. From the looks of it, 3e will be the game where the players think they're playing WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLE-PLAY but the game-master knows...

    Why is there a rush to define vintage gaming?

    This is when I switch channels and watch R. Lee Ermey on MAIL CALL demonstrate a WWII flame-thrower on a pile of rare DDMs...

    WFRP - THIRD Edition Announced from FFG

    I've found that using them with certain tables and charts for creating or fleshing out areas of a town, city, dungeon etc. they can be useful, but using them exclusively to "tell the story" I think you'll wind up with LINCOLN TUNNEL TUNA over and over.* *- god help me my daughter is a fan of...

    Why is there a rush to define vintage gaming?

    Or...sigh... "OLD SCHOOL" ? Not just the two threads here, but many threads scattered hither and yon, I see this "What exactly is old school? Is this module old school? Is old school just how you play? The mindset? The rules? The..." Fact is, some people are going to say "Vintage gaming...

    WFRP - THIRD Edition Announced from FFG

    WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLE-PLAY 1st and 2nd editions is a dice/pencil/paper RPG, this is a leap away from that towards a boardgame like DESCENT: JOURNEYS IN THE DARK.

    WFRP - THIRD Edition Announced from FFG

    Indeed. Apparently the only way to add more players and characters is to buy more supplementary boxes. Man what.

    Magic Items, PC Level, and 'old school' feel

    In vintage D&D (AD&D, original D&D, the variegated forms of basic D&D and possibly 2nd edition (never played it beyond a couple of one-offs), there was no given, hard-coded expectation of "Well, we're at so-and-so level we should have such-and-such magic items." It happened as a matter of...
