This is so true- The "messy"tag for example, doesn't mean you get splattered with blood, it means you get messed up...broken bones, flesh shredded....you are on the ground and the Hag is coming back to rend you with it's filthy black claws dripping with poisonous ichor , you can't raise your...

Sure thing- started at the end of 1977

Thats where I see the issue for me. Level 5 characters have a ridiculous amount of stuff going on the character sheets. I see that killing any hopes for anything but a diversion Thanks for the excellent and thorough update.

We-me particularly- are all over the place. feel free to get me back on track ;)

Until PF2 came out ;)

HARDER MOVES. Encounter balance in DW happens in game and is variable. Here's something I posted over at the Trollbridge a couple years ago or so for someone who was new to DW and having the same issue- similar to advice from 16HP dragon. Also the DW Guide is a must-read. In the immortal...

Gary didn't really care for LOtR. He liked The Hobbit far better. He also didn't like Magic Users. I think this is pretty well known, but rules-wise he was going more based on Earth mythology, and not Tolkien mythology - adding that in as a secondary element to his human centric S&S fiction...

For me #1 would have been a HUGE turnoff . 4E's fresh take on cosmology was big hook for me as a DM. The Great Wheel, while traditional had been the default (and changed/broken over and over again)since a Strategic Review or very early issue of The Dragon. 30 some odd years of the TGW was...

So is PF1- but folks still like to talk about it :D

Sorry, I was not participant- I just linked to the page. I'm not a minis wargamer. That said... Tim Kask indicated the very first time he ever talked to Gary it was a rules question that came up in Tim's Chainmail game. Tim called Gary long distance late on a Saturday evening after getting...

You were lucky- Had TSR gone the audio route for my time, It would have cost a fortune for all those 8 track cartridges. And we all would have had to sit in my dad's car to play

Its been out for some time- Print & PDF. a year or so, IIRC. It's amazing. As an old time RQ'er, from circa 1980 I think it does a better job at RQ/Glorantha than most editions of RQ and all the Hero Wars/HQ variations. It just nails it the right "feel" for me- It's less gritty than RQ, and...

"Should any player wish to be one, he will be limited to the Fighting Men class as a halfling*" Men & Magic-1974 Then the Thief came out in GH and buggered up everything. Dr. Holmes and Tom Moldvay tried to course correct but it was too little too late. *hobbit originally.

On a serious note- I'll consider picking this up as something that my Wife and Daughter would find less intimidating than actual D&D.

Shades of Second Edition...Does it have a CD? :D

Personally I enjoyed the 4E Warpriest (Essentials) best out of any edition as well as some variants from other games like DCC RPG. Both address the issues of being the healer while also allowing the player to have the full amount of wahoo fun with their powers/spells. in DCC RPG- The Cleric's...

Many of the early adventures don't translate all that well to modern version of the games, or campaign style gameplay. Nearly all the Tournament scenarios were "raids" designed to test player skill in a convention timed play slot of a couple hours- all of which is at odds with typical "modern...
