much like TS. #12 for me would be i use the rules as guidelines. what is not written is not out of bounds it just means adapting it for the group with which you game. we call those homebrewed. but they are also only guidelines and easily changed or adapted as the need of play dictates. no such...

spell list in the phb or dmg are just guidelines. the character can research whatever they can imagine. it will cost them appropriately. and they may not be able to cast it due to their lvl. but that won't stop them from trying. edit: as for other powers, abilities, or vestiges. similarly they...

through years of training in their class they have learned how fragile they are. they know their hps, their ability scores in relation to others of their race, their abilities to climb, jump, run, etc... they didn't become heroes in the dark. they learned from others or were touched by the...

read magic for magic users and cure light wounds for clerics. the world is changed by those 2 spells alone. edit: but i wouldn't say ruined.

i was a kid. after school 10-14 of us got together and gamed. did this even into college. i went to a state university. it lasted just shy of 11 years. edit: we gamed during lunch at school and had an after school club too. edit2: of course we didn't just play D&D (although that was the biggest...

someone in my group had already named their first PC after themselves. Syak the Elf. his last name was Kays. everyone thought it was great. no one reached high enough level to dream of the spells with named writers characters. so it was probably in late 1981 or so when i bought the rogues gallery.

in the passed it was 3-4 hrs/ session; 5 sessions/ week; 50 weeks/ year = 1 lvl

to expand upon the example. you can add options to help them understand something they might not yet too. in the example you can tell them they are tiring but they see a graded path up to the goblin they might not make it to the goblin in time to still swing unless they take the path

i tend to ask them what they want to play. treat them like you treat all the other players. if b/c of age they don't know something. you as an adult can think of a better way to explain it. you were 12 at one time. example. 12 year old: i want to run over there and attack the goblin with my...

Greyhawk also introduces the power creep in print. the end to limited bonus and penalties to ability scores. you get % dice for str for fighting men. you get greater than +1 for damage, to hit, hps for all classes for Con, increase in the spell lvl, and more. it doesn't limit the players from...

I started with Deduct 3.0 and quickly bought Deduct 3.11 for workgroups.

i don't care as long as someone is producing product which i can use to harvest ideas for my campaign. i referee OD&D(1974). i have been converting material from other editions for decades.

since battle is the purview of the fighter. he would bind his wife's wounds and prevent her from bleeding out. he could tend her wounds until she recovers. and then give thanks to his deity for having blessed him with the knowledge, the circumstance to defeat the orcs, and his wonderful wife for...

since i still run OD&D(1974) i'll just stick to some of your choice of things to review. 20 is optimal. the game was born from wargaming. many times in wargaming you had sides/teams. and you elected a spokesman or Captain. for D&D the term is Caller. this is still done today for many...

saw the title of this thread and it drew me in like a magnet. i was so wondering if you wanted me to start my schtick here. :heh:

of course, i will be at GaryCon March 26-30, too. if anyone wants to game or chat then. i'll be the bearded guy in a gamer shirt.
