Quite the oppostie. I might actually increase purchases (from near $0) and subscribe to the on-line content even though I have no intention of running a 3.x game. Had stopped subscribing to the Dragon in the early 80's when it became pretty much 100% D&D. Now even if the on-line content is...

? I think we are in agreement, or maybe my memory is way off. But IIRC, in 1e movement is listed as "inches". For example, human movement rate = 12", where 1"=10 feet indoors, but 1"=10 yards outdoors. So you had these different rates based on being indoors or out. Rarely seen it make any...

Certainly, you can offer them much more than it's worth. But an extraordinary claim that you can run the brand that much better is going to require extraordinary proof. If you have a business track record that could get a VC, etc. to take notice, you would know how to find this info out or...

If you have to ask you can't afford it. Seriously, if you have the kind of resources to afford it (even if in the low millions) ask your business guy or attorney to look into it for you. For $20,000 you can probably get a good first pass due diligence on the D&D portion of the company. If...

Well it looks good. Do NPCs get it as well is a question. I know. A poor joke really. Inches being actual inches in sandbox wargames. I was a big fan of hexes though, never liked to have to remember the square root of two thing. Now I'm all about the offset squares. Now 2D6 I like that...

I like the WP gives +1 to attack, is that a basic D&D or 2e thing? IIRC (books at home) WP was the weapons you chose so you didn't get a penalty. On movement, I thought it was in inches? :) Definitively something left over from Chainmail and sandtable/tabletop tin soldier games. As a rate...

My 30 years RPG experience plus a few more wargame years before that tells me your experience counts. :) I can't say whether in the 20+ years of playing AD&D we were pretty much RAW or not, since 1e-heads can argue this ad nauseum and each seems to have their own litmus test. I would caution...

On #1, the problem would not comeup as IMC goblins are not hard-wired from birth with alignment. I frankly find the idea that you need to directly kill in cold blood goblin babies to be "good" and "just" to go against every moral teaching since recorded history. Maybe what you desccribe is a...

Thanks all. Some nice stuff there. This should spice up the battle mat for tomorrows big showdown. I don't typically run BBEG type adventures, and this is probably not one but tomorrow in The Caverns of Thracia (1980 version modified :)) the players will be facing: the Minotaur King and his...

You mean like TFT with Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence? :)

I'm looking for graphics of dungeon and cave floors, rooms, passages, etc. for using with a battlemap. In particular, I'm looking for some without a grid on them or offset squares. What I'm looking to do is print out the images on "window cling" then overlay them on the battlemap I use. I...

Yes, they did/do, hence the need for setting. 50/50 behave this way IME. Published books do not consider this typical IME (except maybe early Judge's Guild products), quite the opposite.

The amount of detail, for me, depends on how much they are going to charge for it. I don't expect them to create a whole new language. Chances are they would do it poorly and the names generated would sound even sillier than they often do. I do see the professor's point about using a language...

I'd have to agree with Numion. I'd liken traps to a mystery novel. A good mystery gives you all the clues needed to solve it (even if just in passing) it takes logical reasoning and deduction to put them together and solve the mystery. It's hard to do. A good writer can make you say of...

Then some slightly different suggestions. :) But first the Dwarven Fighter sounds really good, combined with the Cleric of Haela you have a nice front row. You seem low on the scouting function and ranged weapon back-up and during combat healing. On scouting does the Wizard have a familiar...

I think this is your tactical problem here. Your party is not desigend for directly engaging the enemy in melee combat. IME 2 cleric, 2 wizards and a rogue require tactics where you draw the enemies into traps and bleed them with some ranged attacks before they can get to melee. This means a...

Always. Their deeds are the stuff of legends and stories.

I'd say no and actually would like the challenge of such a deadly campaign. Near death is (to me) where the real fun is, getting by by the skin of your teeth as it were. As long as it is not TPK, teamwork and sidequests can be used to bring back your "stoned" comrades. Your player's should feel...

-deleted- posted to wrong thread

:confused: How is this irrelevant to the wealth numbers you came up with for a medieval society? I'm curious if the game-aides/your calculations came out with numbers that reflect the historical situation when costs were figured in. I can imagine a fantasy situation is completely different...
