Labyrinth Lord is great. I see they have some "advanced" stuff now, but just download the free core rules and see if that's too your liking. I've played in several Play-By-Post (PBP) games using the LL rules and I'm pretty sure it'll have the feel you're looking for, especially if you have...

If you just started, you might only be using the Essentials stuff. I recommend you take a look at the 4E Dungeon Master's Guide I & II. There are lots of great tips in there. In fact, many consider those two books to be the best "How to run a table-top RPG" books ever. Also, read David...

Actually, neither the Essentials Master Sets nor the recent, and more tradition, Ice set contained 3D tiles. And thank goodness. The 3D tiles were terrible. They didn't match the scale of the figs or the other tiles and took up too much of a sheet that could have been used for many more 2D...

Rereading your original post, what you want is any edition of D&D prior to 4th; in particular Basic or Original D&D. Fighters just swing swords, no powers at all. Wizards start with a single spell they can use once a day. Clerics don't get any spells until level two. Thieves can try to spring...

Can someone put the news from DDXP into a short summary for me? Any bottom line takeaways? Thanks in advance.

Huzzah!

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Cool backgrounds, Mapache and KarinsDad. Thanks for sharing.

It's your game: do whatever kills the most PCs.

"OpenOffice.org file with macros" ZWHA? It does exist...!

How does a paladin-warlock make any sense in your campaigns?

I have no idea what you said. Could you explain this sans jargon, as much as possible? What is the "Mercenary style of combat"? Why would you assume we've read "Combat Advantage #14"? Anyone who claims to be able to write an adventure that satisfies all three tiers with just the click of a...

Pathfinder gnomes are freaking awesome. So, Yes. Yes, I've thought about playing Pathfinder. But Pathfinder is 3.5 D&D. And I played a gnome sorcerer in 3.x from lvl 1 to lvl 20 across the schism. And so there is no way in hell I'm every playing a version of 3.x D&D ever again.
