Indeed. An eye-opener that the Father of the Game was a wee-bit obsessive about a particular weapon group! Which was why, in good humor, I asked him to sketch one for me in my DMG! ;) --Ghul

LOL! It is a lovely bardiche. --Ghul

I am among that crazy cult, as I see no DMG better or more useful! :-) Do I not bleed when you cut me? :P --Ghul

Heh. Bought mine with my paper route money back in 1981 and consider it the finest book in my collection. Just this year I had the pleasure of getting it signed by the following: * Frank Mentzer (yeah, he didn't work on this volume, but he is a D&D legend) * Rob Kuntz (another D&D legend) *...

Hi tx, Nice to hear from you again. While I very much enjoy the AD&D tables, and would gladly run a game with them, my group is having fun the C&C SIEGE engine, and so am I running it. I must, however, disagree with your assessment of C&C being "too 3eish" as I find it exactly opposite...

My C&C AD&D 1e hybrid Hello tx, Happy to give you an idea of what I mean. I am using the C&C RPG infused with many aspects of the AD&D original game. I use the unified mechanic of C&C, called the SIEGE Engine, which resolves attribute checks, skill checks, racial abilities, saving throws...

Or you can do what I've done: blend the two together. I run a C&C AD&D 1e hybrid. They're lovely together, like Brad and Angelina. No, I didn't just say that... --Ghul

1e gamers... They are among us . . . and their numbers are legion! --Ghul ;-)

Respectfully, I must disagree with your statement, having found the 3.5 game to be antithetical and counterintuitive to running a game that has "1st edition feel." I feel this way, because I have tried such and consequently reached this conclusion after five years, and I am, for what it's worth...

If you're looking for fish & game stores, you'll find plenty of them. To my knowledge, all the RPG shops in NH are either in Concord or south of Concord -- Salem, Manchester, Nasua, Portsmouth, Londonderry. Up there in the mountains, where they refer to us Southern New Hampshire folks as...

Try Castles & Crusades I would suggest you try Castles & Crusades. I, too, ran 3.0/3.5E from 2000 to 2005 until I came to conclusions similar to your own. I had previously followed every edition of D&D from Moldvay to 1e to 2e to the present system. I remained faithful to the line for 25...

Hall of Many Panes & Castle Zagyg Hello Gary, I think _Hall of Many Panes_ is a fantastic module, and hats off to you (and Jon Creffield and the Trolls) for pulling of such an amazing module in this age where the boxed set is supposedly dead. One of the things I like about the adventure (read...

Hello Whizbang, Following this project quite closely, I note the present direction as thus: Yggsburgh: 1 hardover (available now); 19 town modules + 5 suburbs modules to flesh out Yggsburgh and its surrounding communities. Castle Zagyg: 2 boxed sets. One that details the castle proper and...

Yggsburgh Castle Zagyg Volume I, Yggsburgh comprises several locations in the Town of Yggsburgh, which has a population of 22,000. Also detailed in this volume are portions of the suburbs and portions of the local environs, inluding several villages, thorpes, and strongholds. As Gary has...

Castle Zagyg Vol 1., Yggsburgh, by Gary Gygax Ghul

Brilliant! --Ghul

At the root of it all, I lichen this to acorny form of punnery. --Ghul ;)

Without reading what the others have posted, I offer this solution: humans, demi-humans, humanoids reveal shades of gray to the evil detector. Only the purest of evil or the purest of good will be detected as such, while all others remain a mystery. It allows you, the DM, to pace the details...

Nope. Not in it's present edition, that is.

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons by Gary Gygax is #1. 'Nuff said. --Ghul
