    The Old School: AD&D 1e

    Amirad removes the axe from the erstwhile student of the old School. His fingers trace the symbol of Solinar's light above his forehead,"May the grace of Solinar guide your soul to its proper rest." Amirad gazes carefully around the room his divine senses alert for further peril. detect evil...

    [Recruiting Fresh Again!] The Old School: 1e AD&D

    Sweet, I've posted an attack on the cowering zombie. (Hope I interpreted that right.)

    The Old School: AD&D 1e

    "Were this monster not a vile undead, I would hesitate to use it for target practice." Amirad moves to the fore, pauses briefly to see if anyone else will join the attack and hurls a throwing axe, his bastard sword loose, but ready in his other hand. The missile thuds into the cowering undead...

    Gamer Terms/Jargon that Needs to Change

    Here I thought the OP would start with the term "Level" Which incidentally was addressed in the 1978 1st edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Players Handbook as being possibly confusing but decided to stict to the 'traditional' uses of the term level. (P.8) And even suggested contemplated...

    [Recruiting Fresh Again!] The Old School: 1e AD&D

    You folks might want to post this over in the RG thread. The attack matrix is in the DMG p. 74, or take a look at OSRIC

    [Recruiting Fresh Again!] The Old School: 1e AD&D

    Well Scott here is my summary of the character background we hashed out so far: Minor merchant House Kalveten sought to form and alliance with House Harrelsen, hence your mother and my aunt (name? Yolanda) married into House Harrelsen. "Something" happened and a rift between the families...

    [Recruiting Fresh Again!] The Old School: 1e AD&D

    eh, its not that bad. Seems fairly functional. Its too bad, I don't seem to have any of the old PMs about our characters (that I seem to remember - my memory is a little foggy). Still most of the ideas came out. Should probably go through the talking the talk thread too to see if there is...

    [Recruiting Fresh Again!] The Old School: 1e AD&D

    I reread the IC thread this Sunday, and I'm pretty excited about picking it up again. Wanted to find Amirad's voice again :) Also great that Lidia and Austin shall also be continuing. I am confused as to what is suppose to be going on with that Doman fellow. My main concern with option 1...

    [Recruiting Fresh Again!] The Old School: 1e AD&D

    My preference is for 2 or 3. I don't want to lose the bit of progress and development that has happened so far.

    [Recruiting Fresh Again!] The Old School: 1e AD&D

    Well if it can get going again I will happily jump back in with Amirad the Gallant! Call me surprised that it may kick itself back to life.

    Writing - When do you use\not use computers?

    I've always found just using some paper and pencil to be far easier. Especially if your just designing for your home game. Course now that I've been doing some writing to get published, the computers become an unfortunate must. Still I usually write the initial ideas by hand, then expand them...

    Dungeons & Dragons #2 out today!

    Having visit 51 comic and game shops in the Toronto area (Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Toronto) this summer I can attest that Comic Warehouse is pretty awesome. If depending on where you are in Mississauga you may also want to check Altered State - 1701 LAKESHORE RD...

    Looking for an investigative/horror system

    If I was running something like this I'd use mortal World of Darkness (just the core book) and probably add in Second Sight for the magic system. If you don't like werewolves and Vampires just don't use them. It problably be handy for a Player or two to have a core book, but only the GM...

    Map of the RPG Community

    Now we just need writeups for all those forums and we'll have a campaign setting! Something like: ENworld Capital: Population: 96 165 (D&D 3e 66.7%, D&D 4e 22.6%, Pathfinder 1%, Other 9.6%) *note the 3e has the weight of 10 years behind it and is comparatively a little distorted, some earlier...

    All I know about Hellas is that Game Geeks did a review of it a while back YouTube - Game Geeks #158 Hellas: World of Sun and Stone

    Good RPG shop in Ottawa?

    In terms of a good RPG shop Fandom II really is the place to go in Ottawa (they do also have some basement gaming space and billboard to post local games). I've actually visited over 50 comic and/or game stores in the Toronto area this summer for a project and am hard pressed to think of a store...

    [Lets's play] You're given total control of Dungeons & Dragons...

    Well first I'd buy/aquire/merge or form some sort of solid business arrangement with both Pazio, and Troll Lords. They'll keep all their properties and staff intacted, but now they can have rights to any 3rd edition, or pre-3rd edition stuff they desire and re-offer it as they see fit. Plus...
