Challenging for most starts-ups in any industry. The most likely route is friends and family. You may luck into an angel investor through business or social contacts. Most investors want a guaranteed return, so they unlikely to support your dream in the beginning. More sophisticated, deep...

My elves are xenophobic, paranoid and terrible. Humans hate and fear them, though when they do encounter the fey, it's a cause of wonder.

Ascending AC is easier, but THAC0 is not difficult. At all. As for converting modules, splint mail is still splint mail and an x level fighter is still an x level fighter. The differences are quite minor. It's still a "quick roll to hit, quick roll for damage" system. Both play quickly.

These viking girls sound awesomely terrifying. It's great you are all having such a blast.

That's sad. She was 56. That's way too young.

Odo. Odo de Conteville, Bishop of Bayeux, Earl of Kent. He was also something of a "bastard".

I was talking about this with a friend recently. I was struck by how many of these fellows died before nearing the average lifespan. Exercise and eat well.

Total generation gap with this thread. I always assumed Aragorn was the base for the Ranger and I was excited to see the class show up in the PHB; this was after a few Dragon mag mentions of them. One significant difference between a D&D Ranger and a Dunedain was the prohibition against...

You can't make her. She may have a million credible reasons why she can't play with you. Just have an open invite, tell her it's a great and fun time and leave it up to her.

DM PC's are really NPC's. If you want to run a game tell him that he needs a new (and real) player character and not one who is "special" and had the deck stacked for him from the get go. "He has an over-arching story he is wanting to achieve" Is this story, one involving the DMPC as front and...

First level characters can be pretty fragile. So for continuing play, I'd rather start either at 2nd level or <maybe better> 2/3 of the way through first level. Largely, I think it's important that experience gets earned. And "Breaking a Level" for a new character should be a huge, happy, event...

I created a new player last week in my BFRPG game. She came with our MU to watch, I said she may as well play, and tossed her the character sheet of the NPC party cleric. She spent the first hour or so watching the table and listening, then she got to roll some dice when the party fought some...

First edition: Probably Homlett and the G&D&Q series. Everyone played those. TOEE came out six years after T1. It didn't seem worth the wait. I still hold a lot of antipathy towards that module because of the lax production cycle.

Maybe other systems are less quirky, but I am not sure that means they are better systems. Objectively speaking. I came back to old school D&D from a "better system" because I thought it was a better game.

GG Kaye`s 2 book Sarantium series is set in an alternate Byzantium (Sarantium) in this same period. Read those for some convincing atmosphere and some real Byzantine intrique.

I voted 4th, but I would have liked to voted 3.5 AND 4.0 as that`s where WOTC`s current market is. I think. I really have no need for this product, so what I want is irrelevant.

I sympathise, but it's not Tolkien's fault.

I really don't think system really matters here does it? It really comes down to DM design and player commitment and participation in a coherent world. The other thing I would like to point out is that many (most?) campaigns never end. I know one fellow whose been in a 20 year onging game...

My current gaming group includes 4 (!) librarians. I should keep a closer eye on them.
