So I'm supposed to play at some point in a 3.5e game a friend of mine is running, and I was invited to "guest-star" my character from the 2nd Edition campaign I had been running/playing in earlier. I'm wondering how best to translate my character concept over, given that there are all these...

Nope.

Hey now. PARANOIA already did the XP joke, and we got shot down for it. :(

C'mon 2E! Rise again!!! *sighs when he realizes nobody else is cheering with him*

Er....aren't Barbarians supposed to hate sorcery? Or is that an older-edition thing?

If memory serves, Ice Age would make a good adaptation to an RPG format. Yes, there are a few Big Wizards o' Doom, feuding amongst themselves, but I didn't get the impression they were the summoning type of planeswalkers (i.e. the players in Magic), but rather just really powerful wizards (like...

I had hoped that it's more like PARANOIA - 1st edition is awesome; 2nd is even more awesome. The 3rd (or "5th", if you prefer) never happened. :p And the fourth brings things back to awesome. Unfortunately, I don't think it works that way... :(

I just picked up an old copy of Gamma World and plan on running it at some time. I was tempted to pick up Top Secret, but decided that Alternity would be a better system for running stuff there. (I know there was an Alternity Gamma World setting, but it just didn't feel as fun.) Oh, and I...

I was a bit surprised at Mr. Dancey's assertion that a departure from the SRD rules would cause a huge, absolute split. I guess I'm confused because the 2E to 3E change was huuuuge (as compared from 1E to 2E). The two systems weren't compatible, and yet most of the AD&D market transferred over...

Hmph. I never saw the need for a *third* edition of the game...but as is kinda evidenced, most people disagree with me. :( Regarding the "print or die" thing - aye, it's absolutely true. It's perhaps not best for us consumers, but the company doesn't really have much choice in the matter...

1. Gary Gygax 2. Allen Varney, running a STRAIGHT Paranoia game 3. Steven Brust running a game of Amber

YES! The amulet was the Mouth of Mimulus, I think. Mim for short. This was my introduction to D&D also. So awesome...!

Started from a TSR choose-your-own-adventure book, "Return to Brookmere." It cast you as an elven fighter returning to his homeland, now overrun by nasties. I took special note of the "Dungeons and Dragons" label on the top. First day of fourth grade, coming home on the bus, we were assigned...

Bit of a silly question, this, but I haven't been into a FLGS for a long time (sadness...) What scale are these minis?

Dragon magazine CD archive, 1-250. And for the price of a PHB, too...

As my sig says, I'm a 2nd Ed player. I never converted from Second to Third because I *started* playing just a year or two before the new edition came out. There was NO way I was buying the core books again after I had just bought them. And I had also gotten a slew and a half of modules...

Are you guys raiding its lair? Or defending against it? Or what? Also, just figure out what maximizes your chances of doing damage. Is it better for the fighters to go toe to toe with it while the distance guys distract it? Or is your main punch going to come from your longrange attacks and...

Orc and Pie, no questions.

Citizen! There is no 5th Edition of Paranoia! There never WAS a 5th Edition of Paranoia! Please report to a termination booth immediately. As for 5th Edition D&D...It will be 1e re-released. All will rejoice, because if they don't, Emerikol the Chaotic will fireball them.

Direct hit on / Bombing the Salsa Factory - dropping snacks while at the gaming table. Originated during a BattleTech/MechWarrior game; our group was in some urban combat, one of the players reached a bit too far for the salsa, and spilled it on the GM's handmade , painstakingly colored-in...
