If you read one of my posts in the "I Wish I Was 12 Years Old Again" thread (AKA: "What Do You Miss About 1E?") you would have ready that I mentioned I was going to play in an day (11am to around 1:30am) session this past Saturday. Well, I did, and it was great! Lots of fun. We played If...

I only have Heroes of High Favor: Dwarves and Hammer & Helm so I can't comment on the other two. I think both HoHF: Dwarves and H&H are great books, but they're primarily player's guides with new uses for skills, PrCs, feats, and equipment. Hammer & Helm does have a fun interesting section at...

Congrats - I always enjoyed reading the free stuff that you had posted online. I'm sad it's not there anyway - I had saved a few of the files. I'm sure the CS will be great.

I have it, but I got so busy with other writing that I haven't written a full review yet. I have quite a few Quint books but none of the racial ones so I can't compare this one to, say, Quintessential Elf or Quintessential Dwarf. The book's author takes what I thought was a unique approach...

Never heard of Code of Unaris before. I checked out the preview - has anyone played this yet? I know that Atlas is publishing the old online Septentrionalis setting soon (they changed the name to something like "Northern Crown" or something). I'm not sure if it was entered in the WotC...

Part 1: #75 Part 2: #76 Revisited: #91

Thanks - I'm lame. Or blind. :)

It's weird - the siege weapons are referenced there as pertains to the effects of whether on firing them, but the actual weapons themselves don't seem to be explained anywhere in the SRD. In the 3.0 SRD, they were in the Equipment Section right after the list of Special Items like Alchemist's...

I can't seem to find the Siege Weapons from the Dungeon Master's Guide in the 3.5 SRD. I read in an archive thread here on ENWorld that WotC "forgot" to put them in but then later corrected that error since they were part of the 3.0 SRD. Does anyone know what section they're in?

Welcome! One of my friends (who is currently a player in my campaign) has decided to take up the DM mantle himself and I suggested that he check out Role-Playing Tips to give him some good DM ideas. I agree with everyone else so far - there's so much material available out there that it's...

Exactly.

There's a group of us who are doing close to this very same thing next weekend. We're all in our 30s now, most of us married and some with kids. One of the group who lives out-of-state is coming down here for the weekend and the one thing he wanted to do is play D&D. So, the DM is going to...

Made me laugh! I wonder if, somewhere, someone is on a message board writing about the nostalgia he feels for 1st Edition Spawn of Fashan.

My point of "you can't go back" referred to the feeling that many of us had discovering something brand new. D&D isn't "new" to any of us any more. For a lot of us (most of us, I would gather), it's been around almost as long as we've been alive. You can only discover that feeling once. Once...

All he'd do it comment about how 1E AD&D is still about 5 years too "new".

Yeah, you all totally have me thinkin' about everything we've been missing from 1st Edition AD&D: 1) Maximum strength limits for women. Women simply can't be as strong as men. Ever. Why did they change that? 2) Ability scores between, roughly, 6 and 13 that were all basically equivalent...

I was 12, it was the early 80s, and the first "book" that was my own to read all the way through was the Boxed Set with the Erol Otus cover (I think called the "Purple Box"?). However, if memory serves, I think that the first book I actually looked through was a friend's copy of the 1E...

I play in a Dawnforge campaign and in a semi-homebrew campaign that is technically Middle Earth (1,000 years after the War of the Ring and in the Far East). I DM a homebrew that is - get ready for a shock - a combo of a bunch of stuff, but mostly based on earth history with some Greyhawk...

Not quite the same thing... ...but last night during my session, the group was getting to a part of the Banewarrens in the chapel where Brother Heth has set-up shop. ***SPOILER ALERT*** So, they get to one specific room and after they cleared the room, they said, "What else is in this...

Would it be possible, without screwing up the campaign too much, to move to a different part of the world (where your female player who knows a lot about the world wouldn't know as much?) and start everyone over with new characters. Kind of level the playing field, so to speak, and start with...
