I decided to stick to the 10 second round, (which I happened to vote for in C&C's design also.) Between PJ and Delta and their blogs, I like the feel of the combat round being that fast. I won't say it is more "realistic" (I hate that word for FRPGs) but I will say it has a more "real-time"...

G1. Amazing. Hope it is the pastel version. ;)

Oh one more thing. There would be absolutely positively no reversible spells, i.e., lawful clerics could not cast "Cause Serious Wounds" or "Finger of Death."

Well, considering the cleric option, I can see some point to it. Here is the spell table from Vol I: Clerics: 1st Level 1. Cure Light Wounds 2. Purify Food & Water 3. Detect Magic 4. Detect Evil 5. Protection/Evil 6. Light 2nd Level 1. Find Traps 2. Hold Person 3. Bless 4. Speak with Animals...

Dale, I was on the meetup site. What do you think of it? The interface seems a little odd to me. Anyway, it appears there is a meeting tonight, (Sept 10th) but it doesn't say where. Since you are a member, do you know?

On Vancian magic, I would agree. However, I have given some thought to allowing the cleric, and only the cleric, given the amount and nature of the spells on their list in Vol I, some form of spontaneous casting. I am not sure about Clerical scrolls. These may be the spells found outside Vol I.

Thanks. I will have to check that out. I thought I looked at meetup before.

Just found this thread. It is interesting to find another gamer right around the corner. :)

Exactly. OD&D is a toolkit. House are expected to be made by each referee.

NICE! A guy whose name was Toby, that wielded an axe. If anyone is interested I can dig up the link.

Thanks. Most are a little far, but I heard the Pennsauken one is pretty decent.

There was a thread over at Dragonsfoot in the 1e forums about someone introducing a young kid to AD&D. This guy cribbed a lot of stuff. The kid created a character that was only defined by "a guy with an Axe named Toby." There were not stats other than that (and HP which the DM gave him after...

Oh yes, cool. I wondered if you were still around. :) Anyone else? While we are on the subject, besides Ron's Comic World on Rt 38 in Mount Holly, (who has a limited RPG section) does anyone know of a game store close by in the area? I don't know of any and Google didn't give me any results.

Wow, I just checked out your site. I forgot how much I loved Dronolan's Tower, (I can't believe I forgot it existed. :eek: ) NJMan, is that you too? That guys looks really familiar.

I have seen some players on the board from Browns Mills, Pemberton, and Mount Holly to name a few. I live in Eastampton, so many of you guys are close. Are any of you guys interested in meeting up sometime, even if it is not to play, just to have lunch or coffee or something? Even though I don't...

Foster, was this the thread? Granted, it came from the AD&D section, but the intent is the same. http://www.knights-n-knaves.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=202

BAH! Forget grappling in any edition. Fight enemies the old fashion way; with a long sword (1d8) ;)

From the DMG, Hobgoblins are HD 1+ on the monster attack matrix. AC / To hit roll needed 1 / 17 0 / 18 -1 / 19 -2 / 20 -3 / 20 -4 / 20 -5 / 20 -6 / 20 -7 / 20 -8 / 21 etc. That means to hit the AC of -4, a combined roll and bonuses must be at least 20. Now, if using the optional rule on...

A few notes: 1. In AD&D (1st edition) surprise does not negate the DEX or shield bonus. That became official in 2nd edition. 2. In the rounds were Yrag is engaged stricly in combat, (i.e. when not being attacked by the bugbears spears,) there is no need to roll for initiative at all on the...

Shoot. Sorry about that. Sometimes I forget about thieves as I venture little beyond Vol I-III. I am so closed minded like that. ;)
