Just a little bump for the lunchtime crowd, before it once again drops to the abyss that is the second page...

Hey all, Just finished updating my Basic Dungeons & Dragons website. I've gotten "back to the basics", as it were, greatly simplifying and steamlining things. I think the new rules do a better job of remaining true to the "feel" and mechanics of Classic D&D. In particular, you might enjoy...

Hej Haggar! Here's a re-posting from about a year ago (I still think it's a pretty good approach :) )... ...Just where exactly would a first level ranger garner this extensive experience with respect to something as dangerous as say, a dragon? Yet if you wanted to maximze your effectiveness...

How about something along the following lines... At creation, the player chooses to either have his Ranger be of: A) A religious bent, praying for and receiving spells as normal, or B) A less consciously religious persuasion--sometimes having his spells come to him spontaneously during times...

I suppose there's some satisfaction/vindication to be had in the fact that Sweden beat the gold medalists 5-2 :D Seriously though, I'm happy for Canada--it just means so much more to you guys. Congratulations :)

Well, for Basic D&D, you can't go far wrong with this site... Classic D&D

I have it in the back of my mind that composite bows were more susceptible to being strung for long periods than self-bows. I think this notion comes from some distant recollection of Parthians having carried an extra bow so they could always have one strung while the other was allowed to...

I think this is the link he dug it up from (it's a Canadian newspage)... http://www.tsn.ca/olympics/readstory.asp?story_id=2227769 They mention this "headline" as having appeared on a special insert in Expressen. I still haven't recovered :(

I tuned in to MSNBC as well, and wondered, "Where's my hockey?!"--then I realized that the game was on CNBC. As to the Sweden/Belarus game... ...well, it took me a full day before I could even look at this thread :(

And here I thought you were a fellow Basic D&D player :( That's okay though, the version doesn't matter--as long as fun is being had by all :) Your Class and Race combos look good. The only one I would change would be the Elf--I think I would make him a 1st level multi-class Fighter/Wizard. He...

I use a character class creation template for my Basic D&D campaign. I'm currently in the process of refining it, but you can check out the older version at my website below--just go to the "village" once you're there. Here's a sample of the current working version. It's less campaign and...

Just a few odd points in no particular order, hope some prove useful... POINT 1: Smoothbores are faster to load than rifled-bores and have a higher muzzle velocity (everything else being equal), but are much less accurate. Possible mechanics... Musket: Normal re-load time, Full Round + Move...

This just in... Bob Costas just reported that the French judge has said she was "forced" to vote for the Russian Federation...

I hadn't thought about it much before, but there's a lot of truth in this. Anyone who has sat down to design their own game would probably tell you that it isn't too difficult to devise some elegant mechanics to capture the feel you're after--filling in the nooks and crannies with spells and...

It's interesting that you say this: As soon as the crowd went wild, and the skaters appeared overjoyed, my wife said something along the lines of, "I sure hope their reaction doesn't offend the judges". Unfortunately, I think both you and my wife are correct, because I know... ----------CANADA...

***36*** Started playing in '77 :eek:, and I fear that my best adventures lie behind me...

3d6 in Order, BUT... ...I allow trade-offs between abilities. This has varied over time, and currently stands as follows: PHYSICAL Strength Dexterity Constitution MENTAL Intelligence Wisdom CHARISMA COST FOR +1 INCREASE TO ONE ABILITY Physical Ability: -2PHY or -3MEN or -4CHA Mental...

No ideas really, just thought I'd mention a couple of rpg resources that you might enjoy... Bushido by Fantasy Games Unlimited (waaaay oop and defunct) is probably one of the best ever for this genre. On a more contemporary note, Sengoku has a lot of good info. Hackmaster has an extensive...

(nothing like quoting yourself) This could be gotten around by allowing an open-ended attack roll... On a roll of natural "20", roll again and add to the total; continue until a natural "20" is not rolled. Like I said, I really don't know--but this open-ended attack roll has given me an...

That's the idea ;) Have you checked out the thread (I can't remember if I saw you on it--it's probably on page 2 by now) on converting normal damage to subdual? It has a couple of ideas on it that may inspire a tweak or two.
