Harry Potter Wizards are D&D sorcerers like Jedi are, they just have a school. Just like the X-Men of born mutants have a school.

The big thing to me is the story elements. Sorcerers are inborn natural magicians doing a few things but doing them with power and some natural bending to make those things go different ways. This works also conceptually as the same concept as monsters with inborn magic like dragons. The...

Gygax did provide a sort of example 1e shop that sells curing potions in the Temple of Elemental Evil. In the ne'er do well town of Nulb there is Mother Screng's Herb shop which has three jars of Keoghtum's ointment she will explicitly sell to good parties after they prove themselves going into...

Microlite Monster Building (63) Microlite20 Undead: ?

According to the 2024 SRD kobolds are now base neutral and not evil. Hobgoblins are base LE. Goblins are base CN. Bugbears are CE. Drow, Gith, and Tieflings are not in the 24 MM (just some conversion notes for the drow), and the 24 PH entries does not say a lot about the drow and tieflings.

I would not say 1e assumes humans are LG at base. The 1e MM puts them all over the alignment map for different professions like merchants being neutral, pilgrims covering all five alignments (it was written post Holmes Basic five alignments but before the development of the PH nine alignments)...

Page 125 in the 2014 PH So for a mixed background go with a mix of appropriate skills and maybe a tool proficiencies. Your soldier farmer concept could, 2014 rules, start with a soldier background and swap knowledge nature for intimidation and maybe farming tools for the gaming set.

I don't think that was quite it, I think for D&D they just wanted it to be more fantasical. They included a bunch of real world diseases in d20 Modern right in the core book and in the d20 Modern SRD so it was there to be used in gaming and it was easy to add into D&D if you wanted.

"You have no idea where my ideology is"

I wouldn't say tons. I ran a lot of modules and played in a bunch of one shots and campaigns, healing potions always felt like emergency stuff, not common use. It was rare for a PC to have more than one and usually none. The Moathouse in the Temple of Elemental Evil for example has a total of...

D&D alignment comes from its use in both Anderson and Moorcock. :)

I think this varied significantly group to group. I never had henchmen in the 1e or Basic games I played in or ran. Every 1e and Basic adventure was just the party. I DM'd B1 in Search of Adventure and the Moathouse in the Temple of Elemental Evil and there was not a single henchman as they...

The multiple saves have their own logic for groupings but they are not as explicit as the 3e/4e three saves/defenses. 1e has: Paralyzation, Poison, or Death Magic - mostly are you lucky/favored of the gods as these saves are did it get you or not as opposed to resisting them after being...

Whether or not you got bonus money for landing on Go would vary and just be the way your group did it, not cheating if it was not the official way. Whether or not when you choose not to buy a property that you landed on it opens it up to an auction for all players. That sort of stuff varied and...
