Somedays I wonder if I missed anything by skipping 2e entirely. This isn't one of them.

...since we lost Gary. Remember him well, toss some dice for him, read some of his words, play the game, whatever. Just remember him. We miss you Gary, and we continue to play in memory of you. On a personal note, its also been 3 years to the day since I taught my oldest son how to play the...

The greater Lafayette, Indiana area is pretty good for gaming, though not as good as it could be, I think (not that I'm doing anything about it.....mind you.) First, West Lafayette is where Purdue University is located. Purdue is largely an Engineering/Science/Ag school (though many of the...

That is no lie. My 8 and 11 year old handle full blown AD&D 1e with no problems. They're also quite comfortable with boardgames like Robo Rally, Cosmic Encounter, Blue Max, Formula De, and Carcassonne. As to the original poster, B/X and/or Labyrinth Lord are great, great ways to introduce...

Keep your hands off my dice. :mad:

That is just fine, thanks for fixing it up!

I've often seen posts, and heard in actual conversations, people mention that a system being in print is an important factor in deciding whether or not to play (or continue to play) a particular game, or edition of a game. For instance, I know a few groups around town who didn't want to go to...

In my mind, they're dragons. So, FRICKIN' HUUUUGE! The first page in the moldvay basic book has a red dragon lighting up an adventuring party, and to my mind, that is about the right size. I mean, I guess you can claim they are the size as seen in some of the Saint George paintings...

Not disagreeing here, but I wanted to point out this sounds like an early/mid game power structure right out of the Illuminati card game. ;) HeroScape has been discontinued, last I heard. :mad:

I'd say a company which already has a relationship with the producer of the minis in China, as that would allow them to get them in production and for sale before the memory fades and/or buyers move on to other alternatives.

I am so sorry. Your choice of words was just fine. I was making a play on them. I didn't even notice your nationality! Your english is just fine. PM me if you want me to explain further. ;)

This is interesting for me, as I see the two styles of miniature play at the table when I play AD&D with my two older sons. Sometimes we use minis, sometimes we don't. The older (12 at the end of March) is the more abstract thinker, and says things like, "I move up behind the guy and attack...

But they do sell AD&D Insurance.

Heisenberg is smiling. Or maybe its Schrodinger's Elephant. I can't be sure.

Interesting choice of words. Don't the trolls own their own printing company?

I've had a whole campaign spring forth from a few random rolls in that book. As to the original question: yea, with the caveat that they are usually "part of the population" of the forest/dungeon/whatever, and they deplete the overall numbers, and therefore threat, of the location, if defeated...

Yes. And no 1st level party has a hope of assaulting the caves if they are unified. I always play up the enmity of the various factions, with the evil priests trying to keep the rabble together long enough to make an effective assault, using the Ogre and Minotaur as enforcers, who feed...

Huh. When I got the 3e books, I pretty much said they read like an API for a programming language, complete with defined terms (stunned, etc...) and MAXINT (20d6), though I meant it in a bad way, as in, "this reads like an API, and is as about as boring".

I dunno about 2e (or about Baldurs Gate), but in 1e, 18/00 is +3/+6

Nope.
