I like the 1e approach to magic-users. 1) Magic is dangerous to the caster and other people. 2) Magic often has a price. (haste ages you a year and a system shock roll) 3) Spell casting is easily disrupted. 4) Spellbooks are easily destroyed (well most items are). 5) Spells can be hard to...

They are pretty secure but I would still not be too rough with it.

5 bucks I have another one that is in almost mint condition but this one has the standard bad binding of the UA's and pages have been falling out for awhile. Since it turned out so well I am looking through all my books now for anything that needs attention. :) As a side note the guy said...

I am ok with Thaco since I play 1e and use the 2e Thaco chart anyway. :) For us Thaco is just as fast as the 3e way of doing things but we don't give out ACs. We just roll and tell them DM what we hit. Its fast.

This might be the first money WoTC has gotten from me since before Book of Nine Swords.

Sorry never had that problem and still don't.

I don't envy WoTC right now...not at all.

Even after UA came out people still carried different weapons. It also was the case that we did not use magic shops so you made use of what you got. You might be double specialized in a longsword but when you need a +3 weapon to damage that monster, you are glad you kept that dagger. Also gear...

wrong thread

How well do you think the domain/mass combat rule would translate to a 1e game?

I vote this

Still waiting on a link that shows 99% of people who played 3.5 think casters are overpowered. Hint: There isn't one

I would like to see a link to this 1% vs 99%.....thanks. Also we roll stats so casters are not always getting a 18 in a primary stat.

Mass Combat How to do folks handle this anyway in general? whether it be ACK, Rules Cyclopedia or Kingmaker. Does anyone actually use unit counters and maps and move troops around?

I like SAGA and its the closest I ever want to get to 4e (which we played for almost 2 years regrettably). Thankfully my therapy is going well with PF and 1e. When we don't play Dark Heresy and want something more 'sci fantasy' and less dark we play SW SAGA.

This is how we currently do it in AD&D 1e, but it can work in other editions. 1) Spell casters must declare if they are casting spells before init is rolled. 2) One d6 is rolled PER side, high die goes first. If its a tie we re roll or sometimes if we feel like it we do everything...

I like the 1e approach...so thats my answer. 1) Magic is dangerous to the caster and other people. 2) Magic often has a price. (haste ages you a year and a system shock roll) 3) Spell casting is easily disrupted. 4) Spellbooks are easily destroyed (well most items are). 5) Spells can be hard...

They have FOUR 40k pen and paper RPGs that are currently in print and supported. :) Also they have one Warhammer Fantasy RPG game as well (and miniature hobby ala 40k).

What I said is correct. "I would just rather the DM play off of how I actually do it in character than rely on my dice roll. " A dice ROLL based off a SKILL. Its still making a ruling based off of roleplaying and is irrelevant whether people play the characters or themselves. If a player is...

Something else I just though about. I police myself and my own characters when it comes to playing. I don't need skills to do that but it is what it is.
