    Gaming with Gygax

    I am sure dungeondelver meant to say "I call dwarf fighting man!" In the 1981+ version, a dwarf is a dwarf and fighter is a fighter. In the coveted 1974 3-book edition, a dwarf can only be a fighter, eh...fighting man... and can only advance to 6th level. Supplement I and beyond made some other...

    Gaming with Gygax

    Talk about ambiance! A 3x5 character sheet! I am glad to know I am not the only to use this method. ;)

    OD&D 4E and its effect on 1E/OD&D

    Sure! It is all music to my ears. ;)

    Gaming with Gygax

    I would find it an honor for my PC to gracefully die...ah, I mean play, alongside Allan's and Bill's, (that is, if I was invited, of course) if that would please Gary to have a trifecta PC kill count! ;) As to the map, Hypersmurf, Thanks for posting. Is it me or is the text blurry? Maybe it is...

    OD&D 4E and its effect on 1E/OD&D

    Well, if 4e does drive some 3.x players in southern NJ to want to try out OD&D or AD&D, I invite them to let me know. ;)

    Video chat for Gaming?

    I have been interested in trying Skype as a conference or iChat with my iSight for video chat game but haven't found players. There are a few players from Dragonsfoot that have used Skype successfully. They have a lot of trust cause they use their on PC sheets at the desk, roll their own real...

    Gaming with Gygax

    Shenanigans, indeed. Maybe I should come to GenCon next year and run an OD&D game, just to win over some more converts. ;)

    Gaming with Gygax

    I am so jealous that my skin has turned green! Piratecat, what's the ante on this game for next year? I will pay triple. ;)

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    I am still working with the d6 version. I seem to only have about one day free for the next few weeks. I will post what I have later.

    AD&D revised 2E [VS] D&D 3.5E

    Most of the responses here will be favored toward 3.5 cause this is the web hub for 3.5. If you went to another web forum, the consensus might change. With that said... ...I think in your situation, you are the only one who could answer that questions. You need to weigh the options, such as you...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    The 4x5 spell system seems to fit nicely. I would, a least for me, require a charcater to have at least a 4 in MIND to cast spells, though. I like your target numbers better, also, considering that a TN of 8+ is a success in most 2d6 games. For missile damage, is it the total points above...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Humm. I like it. I want to see what others think before adding layers to it. I take it armor will soak damage? Just curious, did you choose 20 wounds for any reason? ;)

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    You could also come up with a list of traits, or schtick if you prefer, that can either by chosen or rolled at character creation. This list could be as large or as small as desired. Sample Traits (+/-d6) Archer: +1 with bows Acrobat: +1 when tumbling Axemaster: +1 with axes Earth Mage: can...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    I think all you would need are some DC numbers. I am not good with dice probability so someone would need to tweek this. Also the descriptive terms are just placeholders and should be changed to names with a little more flavor. Easy 15 Moderate 20 Slightly difficult 25 Difficult 30 Very...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Good job, kensanata. Are the M20 rules in either doc or rtf format anywhere? I don't remember seeing them. EDIT: Nevemind. I found it.

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Stop it right there! That is perfect! :) Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! That is perfect. The only time I would bother with movement rates is when the chase has begun. I am so in favor of movement being abstract and simplified. I hate: "I won initiative, now I move across the room and...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    Not to violate netiquete to quote myself, ;) but I want to expand on this since I have more time now. This was one method I proposed during C&C's development that was voted down. I actually think it fits better into microlite20 as a house rule, (well at least one I am going to use. ;) ) It...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    It is the actual ability score number, not the modifer. The above PC should have 1d6 + 5 HP.
