Just musing late on a Bank Holiday Monday . . . I seem to remember that for OD&D and 1E D&D that there were a few rulebooks and a plethora of different adventures, i.e. TSR was predominantly making money off the adventures rather than rulebooks. No idea what happened with 2E as I left playing...

BUMP for a possible reply?

"You'll find great adventure beyond the gate." Well the King Beyond the Gate was a Drenai novel by David Gemmell but I doubt if that will be it - just wishful thinking on my part :)

Thanks Mark I'll take a look :) Sounds just the thing for me - from what I've heard I can't wait for the parcel to arrive - hopefully the middle of next week :)

Thanks for the comments - I'll check out the Secrets of the Alubelok Coast, Goods & Gear, the Villains Design Handbook and the Coin Trilogy. I'm glad to hear that the default of the setting is low magic medieval :)

I've just been lucky enough to buy the following books from the Kingdoms of Kalamar product range on eBay: Player's Guide Campaign Setting Sourcebook Dangerous Denizens : The Monsters Of Tellene Campaign Sourcebook : Atlas Player's Primer Friend & Foe : Elves And Bugbears Friend & Foe : Gnomes...

Clearly lots of love for the spell system :) Any views on implementing other rules?

Hi! Just wondered how people had found the new rules in play? I'm particularly interested in the new feat system but please feel free to comment on any part you've used in play :)

I'm not sure this Thor carries a weapon more historically accurate than the Marvel version - LOL!

Sounds like a great idea to me :)

I can't believe it's taken this long in the thread for someone to post this I was just about to say something similar . . .

Thank you for the additional insight pawsplay :)

Well if the class-based system proposed by Gary in AD&D is designed to make roleplaying easier by establishing a class for each classic archetype, then his description in the quote is a typical portrayal of that archetype. I'm not sure my players have I've ever had typical characters but I can...

Thanks for the reply! Probably just my ignorance of the setting based on what I've read so far! I guess I was just keying into the comparisons with the monolith(s) in 2001 and the jumpgate left behind by Tentaari in our solar system. As for Voyager, I admit on reflection that's tenative at...

I'm quite new to Dawning Star but would like to sense check my first impressions with more experienced people based on looking through Dawning Star: Operation Quick Launch. For me it seems like a combination of Firefly/Serenity, 2001, and Star Trek Voyager (in that order). Just wondered if...

Sums up my feelings too

Sigh . . . I know that feeling!

Can you expand on this - I only remember the FASA combat simulator game for starship combat where was the alternative described? Many thanks!

What he said :)

I don't think Marshall means Star Fleet Battles - I think he means Star Trek III Combat Simulator Game which was the FASA "bolt on" to the RPG. It was a fun game in itself but didn't really mesh well with the RPG IMHO.
