Yep. Totally half-orc, with appropriate class and stats for your particular edition of D&D. For 3e you could go with Barbarians or Fighters. AD&D 1e, Fighters or Barbarians if you use UA B/X or OD&D: maybe make them 1+3 HD, +1 to hit/dmg, and let them continue fighting down to -2hp.

I played through it twice as a kid. had a great time. I've run it twice as a kid as sidebar games, and once as an adult in a B/X game. All 3 times I played up the evil cleric in the keep and made sure the control of humanoids in the caves was tenuous at best, so the players had the...

<shrug> That might have been more enjoyable. gaming with those tards was like getting root canal.

D&D is wonderfully fertile ground for artsy/creative types. A whole generation cut their creative baby teeth building megadungeons to slaughter their classmates' characters in. Its kinda like the Commodore 64 is a home computer that launched a couple million IT careers. You sure the hell...

Nope. Never. Closest was during a GenCon Shadowrun event, when the hardcore deckjockeys rolled their eyes at me when i explained my RPG experience was 99% Old School D&D. I was playing a Troll Merc with a minigun. They really hated my effing guts within 3 minutes of the event start. the...

Speaking for myself only, and not projecting my own experience onto the greater community, I can offer the following: As a player, I hate the idea of being led around by the DM, and the bad guy getting away because he appears again in a later "chapter" in his story. As a DM, I don't like being...

Um, sure, i guess. To be honest, I don't frame D&D in those terms. it just dice, graph paper, beer, and pretzels to me. Matter of fact, I don't bother thinking about where just about any RPG sits on the simulationist/abstract axis. I just don't care about that sort of stuff. Yep. I...

I've come to the conclusion that Diamond Cross is either a very adept troll, or his diatribe about "normal" is a cry for help. I really hope it is the former. Whatever the case, I'm out of here on this discussion, as clearly, he has his opinion and is not willing to entertain another...

:lol: Really. :lol:

Well, it deflects attention from his wrongful assertion that D&D isn't for us "normal" people.

Like "normal" people playing D&D?

I quit my middle/high school group in 1987 because the DM became enamored with DragonLance, and used DL1 as his template for adventure design. I didn't like the railroad and cut scene aspects. At the same time, he really fell in love with the "Survival Guides", using it extensively in his...

Personally, I've got no problem saying No. For example, I've said "No Psionic PCs in my games. Period." I have no problem then tossing a Mind Flayer at the players. Likewise, just because the PCs don't have wings or a breath weapon (no scalies in my game, either), I'm not about to ban...

I know its crazy talk, but creating my own material.

well, at least I never got snubbed in a pizza joint in Lake Geneva. :p

Gary Gygax, for one.

I'm with the Colonel. Matter of fact, everyone I game with in my regular group is "normal". A couple of us are even beer guzzling ex-jocks. Huh. Imagine that.

I dunno know about the rest of you guys, but the jokers I play with are already random, dramatic elements. I dunno how much more we could withstand. ;)

Well, I don't think for a moment that I'm the target demographic of WotC anymore, but since we're dreaming... I'd be really pleased if they'd re-release the back catalog of D&D stuff from 1974 through 3e in PDF and print on demand (especially the poster sized maps). Of course, they'd re-scan...

Its kinda hard to hide it when I show up at work in GenCon t-shirts.
