    Why the beer hate? (Forked Thread: What are the no-goes...)

    Having only read the OP, I must say my regular game we have beer for those who want it... but nobody gets wasted. As DM i wouldn't tolerate a crazy drunk person, even though i will have beer too. Every two years my high school friends and I (class of '89) rent a house in MO, lake of the...

    I love AD&D

    Just gotta add my two bits, that I'm really digging this thread. I skipped over 2e and 3e. Although recently (past 2 yrs) we've given 3.5 a try. I wonder if after this campaign they'd wanna jump back to my ADnD game... Over the years the old adventures that have been requested to be "run...

    Potential Problems In A New AD&D Campaign

    Houserules for my 1e game added 4 levels to the level limits of demi-humans... then nobody wanted to play a human. I slowly added bonuses to humans until I came up with: +1 to any one stat +1 Weapon Prof. +10% xp Then I had a solid 1/2 human party. Otherwise they were only dwarf, elf...

    Items in shop; everything or a limited selection?

    Generally I'm running with Aboyd here. In 30 years of DnD I've never had a Wal-Mart magic item shop. As a player or DM, and our games never suffered. Now if we as PC's got magic items and eventually wanted to sell one, it seems to reason that others in the world would come to the same...

    On getting mauled in one round

    I once, early in my 3.5 days, tried to introduce a new PC by having him being chased by a troll, into the PC's midst. Using the CR system, and party level, i thought it would be good to add one level of it's favored class (barbarian) only one level... I killed another players PC after it...

    Has Anyone Converted CR XP to Flat XP for 3.x? i.e. Making Pathfinder and AD&D xp =

    Funny, I've been thinking of doing the exact same thing for my next game. I have not decided on either PF slow or an average xp need from a previous edition. We play mostly levels 1-12 so I'm thinking PF Slow. I was planning on using the table from Dragon #80 for xp given for monster...

    Anyone else feel indifferent about the PDF thing?

    I had the Adventure "Egg of the Phoenix" in my shopping cart at Piazo, pdf was going for $5-8. Looking at Amazon i can get a used hardcopy for $50 or so... so yeah, i'm ticked. Next stop to shop, ebay. I'd prefer hardcopy, but it would be nice to get out of print stuff on the cheap rather...

    James M. at Grognardia (*incorrectly*) reports that Dave Arneson has passed away.

    WotC/TSR back catalog poll

    I had alot ready in Piazo's shopping cart... but I was waiting for the $$$ to buy. So besides being a ticked off, IF i could buy from WotC, download and own them i would. I would never do it subscription based.

    What do you do without balance?

    In my 30 years of playing it's never been an issue. I started with Basic, moved to 1e, never fully adapted 2e other than for some houserules. Only in the last 2-3 years when we converted to 3.5 have I seen, mostly from the large number of extra books avaibable, a need to rein in the options...

    variant elf

    Hey there, would like to bounce this off enworlders: I have a player who wants an elf that's more "elfy" or alien in thought and being. He's got some RP ideas going, but also wants to be "allergic" to Iron, taking more damage from it. Kind of a Reverse Damage Reduction. In exchange, he...

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    Although i voted Evil. I would have done the same thing to prevent the endless parade of "you killed my father, prepare to die" encounters that would follow.

    AD&D 1E Gestalt for 1e/2e feel

    Using the "old" m-classing I'd for sure use old m-class combos... no Fighter/ barbarians. I'm looking more for visions of elven Ftr/Wiz, or a halfling ftr/ rogue, I have one player who really wants a cleric/ rogue but doesn't want to split his levels with standard rules for m-classing. Stuff...

    AD&D 1E Gestalt for 1e/2e feel

    I too remember multi-classed PCs being about 2-3 levels behind. Which is OK in my book since you have the extras of other classes. If they get 5 HD behind, their HP may just get them munched. Which I'd hope to avoid as something inevitable for them. As for why, well, there is a certain FEEL...

    AD&D 1E Gestalt for 1e/2e feel

    Ah ha, thanks. :cool: Hrm... so they need more xp, but get the bennies of each and every level? I'll have to look at my old 1e/ 2e books and see how that'd work out xp/level wise. Something to ponder and chart out.

    AD&D 1E Gestalt for 1e/2e feel

    Just looking at min. XP for a single class level it flows like this: XP Single Double 1000 2 1/1 3000 3 2/2 6000 4 3/3 10K 5 3/3 15K 6 4/4 21K 7 5/5 28K 8 5/5 36K 9 6/6 45K 10 7/7 55K 11 7/7 66K 12 8/8 78K 13 9/9 91K 14 10/10 105K 15 10/10 We don't really play higher than that. Note some...
