One time, this guy handed me a picture of him, he said,"Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture is of you when you were younger. "Here's a picture of me when I'm older." "You son-of-a-bitch! How'd you pull that off? Lemme see that camera... what's it look like? "

I like how a comedy thread has become a slag older editions of D&D thread. In less than two pages.

The game's entire magic system is replaced by 1e AD&D psionics. Mandatory. You have to roll d% to try to not have them. Borrowing a page from HERO SYSTEM, there are now a simple-to-remember 22 character stats. Demihuman level limits are in play for humans, too. Except for Halflings*...

You mean EXALTED? :D

As am I, in the same context.

The "cleric-is-only-a-battlefield-medic" is a sacred cow argument that needs to die (there, see? I can do that too.) Clerics are moderately skilled fighters They can banish undead, if not destroy them outright, or alternately force them to fight for the group They can employ spells to...

What do you want a thief to do if not sneak around and be all backstabby, lockpicky and so forth? If you're not doing those things you're not playing that class, you're playing a fighter who insists on wearing leather armor and soft boots! :D

Whatever fits into WORLD OF GREYHAWK, specifically: Races: Humans Halflings Elves (gray/sylvan/wood/wild/valley - Drow are NPC monsters only thx.) Dwarves Gnomes Half-Orcs Half-Elves Half-Ogres Classes: Fighter/Ranger/Paladin/Cavalier(?) Cleric/Druid Thief/Assassin Magic-User/Illusionist...

Sidebar hell, it needs to be reiterated in every major rule component discussion. Generating a character? Here's how you make a AD&D character. A 2e character. A 3.5 character. Use these options. Creating an encounter for the party? etc.

How to "fix" the Paladin (By Billy, Age 42): "Monte, Mike...here's a copy of THREE HEARTS AND THREE LIONSby POUL ANDERSON. Now you just step in here, here's a spiral notebook and a few pens for each of you...that's right, pick a chair, get comfortable. No no, I'll take your laptops and cell...

Let me just say this about that... One thing I found the more I delved (ha!) into the online D&D community is/was that there are a lot of people with a hateboner for AD&D because they had really crappy powermonger DMs who thought the game was a wargame between them and the players, and a good...

Because AD&D and 2e are separate products; note there is no break-out of PLAYERS OPTIONS for 2e or UNEARTHED ARCANA and all things afterward for AD&D. COMPANIONS, MASTER RULES & IMMORTALS fundamentally changed how Basic DUNGEONS & DRAGONS gets played. at least that's how I view it.

ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ...but then you already knew I'd say that.

All I know is the mantra that's kept me optimistic through this has been: "include" what they will. Just leave the option(s) to switch things off for those who want them off and on for those who want them on, and they'll have a sweet game. If I crack the rulebook and there's no "switch" for...

It shouldn't be, but I'm starting to get the impression that's what it will be.

nvm

First of all, let me just say this about that: B2 KEEP ON THE BORDERLANDS? Cool. Very, very cool. While those sheets are impossible to read, I also don't see a lot of clutter on them so it could be that the base game is yes indeed a very streamlined and easy-to-snap-onto form factor. Looking...

An '81 WORLD OF GREYHAWK folio with an insert that reads "It's all OK. It was just a nightmare. There's no such thing as Sean K. Reynolds, Carl Sargent or Erik Mona." I kid! I kid! I think one that picks and chooses from the best-received post-Gygax material, adds a timeline and emphasizes...

I think the new edition will be a great disappointment to people who expect it to be a Perfect Game that can replace whatever previous version of D&D they play. It won't be. AD&D isn't perfect. Original D&D isn't perfect. 2e isn't, nor was 3e, nor was 4e. However a game that features...

Negative.
