    I've never played AD&D1

    Do you mean that you can shoot 3 missiles at a kobold, check to see if it is dead, and then have the remaining missiles strike another foe? Or only that you can decide which magic missiles hit which targets when your turn comes around?

    I've never played AD&D1

    I cannot imagine playing a game without it. As a GM I have never allowed a player to change his character's action in response to the initiative die. Think of it -- without this rule a spellcaster could decide NOT to cast a spell (fearing it would be interrupted) if the party lost initiative...

    I've never played AD&D1

    Weapon speed only comes into play when initiative is a tie. I would ignore weapon vs. armor class unless it seems really ridiculous (a bo stick against someone wearing full plate, for example). Really? What is surprising about that?

    [Pied Piper] Bottle City and Living Room now available!

    Well, they will be using the OGL. :) The target audience is aware of them, I think.

    Is there a list of new 1E compatable material for 2006?

    Only the Trolls know, and they don't seem to be sharing.

    Supposed to be out for GenCon.

    Is there a list of new 1E compatable material for 2006?

    I believe it did -- they only printed what was pre-ordered plus a few extras IIRC.

    Is there a list of new 1E compatable material for 2006?

    If one is not a collector and just wants a play copy, it is available on PDF.

    Is there a list of new 1E compatable material for 2006?

    Or one might put it in one's .sig.

    Have you as DM ever decided a module goes too far? (Possible module spoilers)

    It's worth remembering that the Slave Lords series was originally designed for tournament use. So there's some funky things in there like that. One of the modules also calls for the villains to resurrect the PCs if any of them have been killed! I've heard that the Dragonlance modules are...

    What's the difference between D20 Fantasy and D&D?

    In the latter stages of the 2e era, the "Advanced" in "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" was already being written very small in the logo. This was after D&D was not being produced and AD&D ruled the roost at T$R.

    Any DMs here ever have an assistant DM?

    Gary Gygax had a co-DM: Rob Kuntz. So there is clearly nothing wrong with having a co-DM. :)

    Early clerics and the gods

    I used to include pagan deities in my game and now I don't. I just don't see it as all that important, and I'd rather not get into details about services, sacrifices, and whatnot.

    History: OD&D to AD&D 1st edition

    Meh. I don't see what the big deal is about characters worshipping pagan deities. It certainly reflects Gary's view, which he has restated time and time again, even recently, but I don't think that Deities & Demigods adds any realism or verisimilitude to the game.

    AD&D1 giants

    Maybe if one were inclined, one could go through the MM etc. and produce a list of such creatures with unambiguous HD/HP values, such as: Hill Giant (HD: 8; HP: 8d8 + 1d2). What's interesting is that some Fire Giants will attack as 11 HD (those with 11d8 + 2 HP) creatures, some as 12 HD (those...

    What's the difference between D20 Fantasy and D&D?

    I used to work with a lady who was Scottish and she claimed that she couldn't understand Aberdonians! As opposed to professional classicists arguing about it? :p
