As someone that had started on the Holmes Blue Book Basic set, I can tell you that by not putting out some kind of Basic set in the vein of the old red Basic D&D sets, WotC are missing out big time on one heck of a marketing masterpiece. The Basic set I started with, for those that don't...

That was a good laugh that came at the perfect time that I needed one. :)

Considering you (as well as dmcoy) live right around the corner, I think it could happen. :)

I just want to post a little update. If you know grodog, (Allan Grohe) when he comes back to town, some of us from the Dragonsfoot boards get together to discuss gaming stuff and have pizza. We haven't actually had a gaming session. Yet. There is a possibility that sometime during the first...

I agree. Linear based adventures should be avoided for site-based adventures. I know not everyone likes it, but B2 Keep on the Borderlands is an excellent example of a site-based adventure. The party can venture to the caves, clear a few out, and return to the keep for some R&R, ending the...

Keep us advised. We want to know more...:)

I find it kind of odd that the Wizards site has nothing on it for this year. It is only a month away.

Piratecat, (and the other versed Con GMs/DMs); I wouldn't consider this with a "standard" gaming system, but if the CON game you were going to run were a demo of an ultra-simple and ultra-lite game, for example RISUS, Dungeon Squad!, or Prince Valiant, would you ever think having the con gamers...

If you are very careful with them, they will last a mighty long time. My Holmes Basic D&D set only has one corner that has popped. My 1981 Moldvay D&D Basic and Top Secret boxes are still in great condition. Boot Hill: the box is in great shape but the rule book is held together by a single...

T. Foster, that has to be one of the best posts I have ever seen concerning Armor Class and its historical significance and implementation through out the entire history of Dungeons & Dragons. Very nice work.

I am actually working on this. I am currently trudging through the magic user spells. I am slow and have a lot of distractions so I have no time frame for when it would be done.

Wow, talk about a slap in the face.

That is correct. That is not the whole story though. The chart must be referenced to see just what die roll constitutes a hit on the target.

Don't worry Gary. I just act like that appendix doesn't exist. :D

This is something I really like in theory. I am sure we can hammer it out at the OD&D board. Perhaps a fighting sweep of some kind. I am all for stocking up a temple with a ton of goblins ripe for slaughter. :)

I am pressed for time this week, but I am hoping to try to schedule something sometime in Oct. Also, I proposed to some of the local gamers on DragonsFoot about getting together when grodog is back in town for a one day marathon session. More on that as news comes available.

Well, the rest of September is pretty much shot for me. I am looking to October.

It all depends. I never ran ToEE, but I was a player in college. Almost 18 years later, I can't really remember the module enough to ruin my experience with it now if I was lucky enough to find someone to run it. I once DM'ed A1-4 and barely remember it. Shoot, I have Dm'ed B2 probably a dozen...

There were a few posts by mmadsen a couple of years ago on breaking the mold from the standard campaign. I have them on my hard drive if you can't find them. Maybe you could use some of those elements to spice up your game. Wait you said as a player not a DM, right? Try a character you would...

I used a few minis about (5-7 per side). The good guys, (consisting of a hobbit archer, human ranger, a pair of dwarves, and a human fighting man) fought a plate mail clad evil cleric, a fighting man, two orcs, and a bugbear. The setup was on a bridge. The good guys got decimated by the forces...
