What is your opinion on materials produced for OOP games? How would you evaluate material for systems in which you have zero experience? What if any of those systems are highly complex? That is, the rulebooks are very dense and there may be many supplements. This can be the case for games...

Since your character is a thief, I assume the whole Prophet of Whoever thing is a scam, and that you've made a pretty penny from it. Chalk the whole thing up and walk away with your winnings. If you're in jail, well, I'd consider an escape attempt, because that stands a better chance of...

House rule. What is it with DMs/GMs/Keepers these days and their reluctance to allow anything bad to happen to characters? Sheesh. It's a pandemic.

In 1e, I usually stick to the PHB choices. Occassionally, I'll let a UA character slide in for variety. I've never had a player significantly bristle over there choices.

QFT?

If I wanted a game where the outcomes were based solely on a die roll, I'd play yahtzee. Frankly, I could give a rat's behind how clever my character is, cause it doesn't exist anywhere except in my head. Well, maybe the DM's and other players' heads, too. I'm the one who wants to have the...

Okay. Toss the 10' pole out of your game. Now, dump that 50' rope. Climbing rope is for pansies. You're a danged spider on the wall for pete's sake. Spikes? Aaaghh.. who needs 'em? If you can't defeat everything that comes barging through that door, then you must have a killer DM. He's...

With 1e books so inexpensive and common, I don't know why a substitue is necessary. I voted for "other", because C&C is not 1e and Hackmaster is a joke. If you're a DM or player, pick yo'self up the 1e books on the cheap. If you think you may want to produce some adventures and/or resources...

Or, how about if the Paladin decided to go off on his own little quest and monopolize the DM's time? Play an NPC while the other members of the party gain XP and treasure? That's hardly fair.

The DM is solely at fault if there's a game session where a player shows up to play only to discover he's Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer. Shame on the DM. I'd demand an apology and a promise it would never happen again, or I'd quit the game. Bad, DM. Bad. EDIT. On second thought. A...

The players should be kissing the ground you walk on for carrying their undeserving hides. By smashing the foes, your character and her friends have acquired XP and Gold. They could be dead w/o you. And, you possibly w/o them, but I don't hear you whining. ;)

The 1e version worked thusly: The spell lasted for a number of segments per level of caster. Every segment had the possibility to reveal a power of the item. The success chance was 15%+5%/level of MU per segment. If you added a luckstone to the components, chances increased another 25%...

Just so long as they don't promise a Limited Edition. ;)

Hello All, First time poster, long time RPGer. I started with Holmes ed. D&D in 1980 and after a few weeks moved over to AD&D. At that time, we weren't playing any settings, worlds or realms, just a few disjointed dungeon crawls. I didn't join a campaign until I met another gamer that was...
