Well, okay, kinda. I don't think 1E is big, going only by DMG, PH and MM. What I do think, is as others have said. 1E had enough sub systems that it was easy for a particular DM or group to "tweak" it as they like it. And that's fine! I would have written off 1E before this thread as...

I don't play 1E anymore so I hope those that do are getting a lot out of this. I am merely adding my own two coppers worth. What I find interesting is how everyone agrees, or seems to agree, that 1E needs some "tweaking" but there it stops. One person says X needs to change but someone else...

But it IS an illusion. It hurts the *players* morale, as I said, but not the system. It was still pass or fail, right? So, a failure is still a failure, regardless of how much. Again, not arguing that it could hurt player morale. But, for the mechanics, it doesn't matter. edg

Again, I need to catch up but I found the need to comment to this. The thing is, it doesn't matter by how much you failed. DND is pass/fail. So, whether you fail by 1, 5, 15, or 50 percent, it's still a fail, whatever the numbers are on the dice. If you are saying that it hits the...

I picked this up as well because it's Doctor Who and an RPG, so that's a win for me! I haven't had a chance to read it, though. Maybe over Christmas. I read in a preview that someone made a robotic or alien dog like creature that was completely playable and fun to play. That sold me on it...

Well, it's now been about three weeks and I am enjoying it. Wife and other things stop me from playing as much as I would like but that's okay. I finished up Batman and really enjoyed it! So much so that I am almost ready to start it again to see if I can find everything. However, that did...

Again, some more good insight into 1E. So, from what I am reading, there is almost a consensus that there were two classes in 1E, fighter and mage. Thieves and clerics were there to help the other two. Further, multiclass characters were to help fill in the gaps, compared to playing more...

I have the Campaign Coins and they are a lot of fun! it was pricey, though. They do have denominations that are all different shapes for the game. Lots of fun! I also have the PDF money and printed them on different colored paper for the different types. It's easy to tell the paper money...

Wow. Just wow. There are some really good ideas here. I almost wish I could go back to 1980 with my ideas to run 1E with 30 years of understanding based on this thread. It's too bad I can't. What I am seeing is probably what Gary intended, which is that each group tailors the rules to...

I haven't read all of the replies, yet, but have been fascinated by the break down of what 1E was and is. Some very nice insights into 1E. When I read this, my take was more like this. I have somehow been put back in time to myself and the only thing that exists in 1E DND. I have my ideas...

Wow. I am with the OP for the most part. Based on Rodney's review, I almost want to buy it right now! But, it's a lot to buy all at once. However, it's not price that is stopping me as much as it is that I don't know if I would ever get to play it. While I am grateful for the weekly...

It probably doesn't count but I think the old Pools of Darkness, game four of the gold box set, would have multiple attacks with beholders. If I am remembering correctly. edg

Thanks for the update! edg

Um, not sure I buy that. I can see it up to 2E, easily but not 3E and certainly not 4E. To me, that's like saying that every card game is actually a house ruled version of Hearts. Doesn't matter what card game it is, it's a variation of hearts. And I don't agree with that. I can...

I agree with your first point completely! I also saw name level as when they build a fortress, have land, etc. However, none of my players particularly like politics like that, so we rarely did that. As I said, they held onto characters for too long and I let them. As to the second, again...

yeah, my hope was that I would be able to take the code and write the ability to import from the compendium into it. Like _NewbieDM_ I didn't want to have to do that all by hand! I am hoping he has the other files so I can look into that. edg

Mortaneus, Thanks for sharing the source code! I pulled it into .NET and it has files missing. I was wondering if you would be able to put them in there? resources.resx application.designer.vb assemblyinfo.vb resources.designer.vb settings.designer.vb I have a few other errors but I...

Certainly I can't speak for you, only myself. The few characters that got higher than 10th level pre 3E in my old games were because the players didn't want to give them up and I was too nice to say no. Otherwise, yes, I go by campaigns and a group's story. When that story is done, I want to...

No, it's a sata drive. I do have an old 200G IDE that it is in the old system but won't be moving that forward. I am only doing it so I can move my data easily to the new system. Ah. Good point. Thanks! Um . . . So, is DX10 a subset of 9? Or should the files have said 10? Not worried...
