I, for one, have never noticed exceptional fervor around 1e discussions. Now that you call them out, I'm sure they must exist, but they are just not on my radar. I think we're all most sensitive to arguments against our own favorite edition. I would posit that many of us think that Enworld...

Boot Hill! As soon as I can get out of this rocking chair and find my teeth, I'll get the neighborhood kid to go through my attic and dig up the rules ...

All excellent points! I'll let you know how the sessions go.

This. I don't place things pre-game so much as I have things that I place as soon as the PCs look. "Oh, that demonic fountain? Why yes it does conceal a secret ..."

Off topic, but which was the first one in? Fat or skinny?

Smart paper, where I can touch a monster's name and pull up a stat block. :) FWIW, I hate the Wotc's 4e "separate the dungeon map out into little chunks." But my taste in map layout is probably betraying my age. For my money, there was never a better adventure map than Caves of Chaos.

Well, Asmor's convinced me to buy a copy of WH3E. I don't have it yet, but I already wish you could buy more dice separate for the core rules. Amazon willing, it should arrive in time for a couple new years games.

Not advancement, but related to the OP ... One idea I've been toying with is having monsters do their level in damage when their attacks miss. If HP really are "luck, divine providence, endurance, blah blah," then ducking a blow or blocking a strike should wear you down a little. Blocking a...

Or, if you have the old first edition AD&D DMG kicking around, you could use the old training rules for level advancement. If memory serves (and it probably doesn't) didn't it also cost gold for advancing? Or was that just the justification for 1 gp = 1 xp? I'm in an airport w/o access to my...

I'm sorry to be dense. Is this an revision of d20 Modern, or a Modern game built off of the revised Pathfinder "engine"? And yeah, not that you are counting votes, but my $$$ go for 4e modern. It would seem well suited for modern cinematic mayhem.

Have to get a room at the hotel. No other way for full con immersion. I'm hoping some enworlder has attended. I'd love to hear a con report. But just supporting a convention in the West is a worthwhile endeavor.

Wow, what a terrible site ... ... which can only mean this con must rock. I'm dying to attend. Wonder what flights into AZ are like. Any idea the number of attendees? 5k-ish?

Seconded. Of topic: what game system? Also off topic: The Springs have a great punk tradition in the face of the Air Force Cadets/Family Values contingent.

I'm sure it is just fog of age, but wasn't 1e tailored more for "we hire 6 spearmen from town to come with us and carry our treasure, all for 1 share of the treasure plus first pick of the magic items, as long as we outfit them with gear first." Whereas 3.x+ was about the party being unto...

I don't have the Scales of War, but would it be possible to hand off the allied "monsters" to the players?

FWIW, here is the Elmore image I was thinking of. http://www.larryelmore.com/images/paintings/elmore_p056al.jpg

Obviously we need a divorce settlement. 3.x can take Enworld on Mondays, Weds, and Fridays, and 4e gets Tues, Thurs and alternating Weekends. We trade off holidays, but my mother would really like to have the gang over to throw some dice for Christmas. Reason: Irreconcilable differences. ;)

Not level appropriate, but I just came across this awesome image on the Wizards site. Rip off of an old Elmore composition, but awesome just the same. http://images.onesite.com/community.wizards.com/wallpapers/wallpaper_04-1280.jpg

I think the distinction that I make (and maybe others) is that the dice aren't like normal "semi-random number generators." They move, in my mind, from general tools to tools with a specific purpose. My 10 dice I use exclusively for L5F, my emerald d20 I use for running 4e games, my smoke d20 I...
