I may have to steal that line for my signature (but probably not on this board ;) )

So the best plan is to wait outside a magic training school on graduation day and start hacking away as they walk out.

Nah, he's not into that newfangled 1981 Moldvay stuff, or heaven forbid the '83 Mentzer set.

By gum, it sure does. Guess that rules out classic D&D.

Talking about this. Has anyone played or at least owned/read this? Is it any good? Is it actually compatible with classic D&D in any of its incarnations (BX, BECMI, RC)? How do the classes balance against regular D&D classes? Are there any reviews anywhere? I looked around but most of what I...

Mmmmmm...Liv Tyler with blue skin and pointy ears :D

I picked name brand, but that's not completely accurate. I only buy milk from companies that I trust have treated their animals humanely. A lot of people think that just because they're not killing the cows that they're treated ok, but that's not always the case. There are certain brands that...

I prefer a setting book without system info/crunch, as I tend to switch back and forth between systems that interest me, and system-specific crunch is space that could have been used to provide more setting details.

The War Engine from Shrapnel Games sounds about like what you want. It is out of production and a little dated looking, but you might be able to find it used somewhere. I'd link to a review site, but I can't really find any right now.

No one's gonna be brave enough? Ok, I'll say it, The Old World.

You might try finding a couple of different game systems that everyone in the group likes, and have different designated GMs for each, so that everyone has a chance to play in a game where they don't know all the nuts and bolts. For example, you could be the D&D DM, someone else could GM...

To get chicks

Like Ankh-Morpork Guard mentioned, I think anyone with a known child or a parent can be ruled out (Tyrol, Cally, Lee, Bill, & Zak). Unless one of the Adama brothers was adopted.

"T" & "A"

How about Witchcraft from Eden Studios? It is a Unisystem game, similar enough to D&D that players familiar with that should have little trouble, and its available as a free download. It's basically modern day occult.

So it was just the Basic rules? I don't suppose there was a version of the Expert rules in this format too?

The following quote from a thread on Dragonsfoot: There was a paperback novel-size version of Mentzer D&D? Does anyone know anything about this? I would love to get my hands on such a creature. Is it pretty much the same as the regular version?

What are the differences between these versions of BD&D? Were there any significant rule changes?

From what I've heard, the Atlantean Edition is just the second printing of the game, with errata and all the typos/editing errors fixed (there were a lot in the first edition). The Conan Pocket Guide is similar to Mongoose's Pocket OGL, mostly mechanics with most of the fluff taken out. It...

Is that the extent of it? I was hoping it might also have a section covering the people and places they encountered in the show, sort of a mini-encyclopedia.
