+1 to hit and damage at levels 1-4, +2 at 4-8 and +3 at 9+. If giants are not a threat to the ranger lands in the campaign, the referee may change the enemy type.

I agree. Originally the project was simply a B/X clone for previous players (or those who would be introduced to the game by veterans), but now the situation has changed and a good starter set is... essential.

I've updated the OP with a few links which were spread in the thread.

There are several short examples and they help make the rules clearer. Also, the organization is much improved, with initial overviews of the main rules elements and several indices. All that said, this is not meant as an introductory product. Necrotic Gnome is working on a starter set which...

The new revision is also OGL-free.

That's definitely a plus, I agree. I felt that the show had some issues, but overall I've enjoyed it and I'm glad that they'll make a second season.

I did not attend Lucca Comics & Games, but last week Need Games put the new edition out for general sale and I bought my copy, which arrived today (with included PDFs). As mentioned previously, this is more of a revision than a new edition and the FAQs on Necrotic Gnome website are quite...

Rolemaster, played not too long after beginning with D&D. Probably it was 2nd Edition (not revised), but might have been 1st. I didn't have the manuals yet.

It's one of my favorites as well. It works great as an introduction to D&D. Running B2 as an absolute beginner can be a bit of a challenge, IMO, but B3 really helps the DM and the players to learn the ropes. Besides that, the module itself works for me and I've had a great time running it (OTOH...

Forgetting makes the burden of my dotage a bit more bearable... Now you ruined it.

I did also like it. Back then, I was running D&D at a friend's store and I also remember the organized play being popular.

If you copy the part of the link starting with "https" and then paste it into your browser, it works. The first part is not really a link, but just text.

"Better not to report anything at all, we might be... misunderstood." The parrot has obviously no flasks, but he'll drink water and a little bit of rum, after that he'll fly around erratically for a short while.

OTOH, one of the UAs indicated really strongly that they are working on Dark Sun.

Two reasons I can think of: 1) It's more baroque, as @Parmandur wrote above. 2) You don't waste time re-rolling. 3) An almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.

That's a great point. Furthermore, often the descriptions are not so clear and I have to jump back and forth between the map and the keys. Here I disagree. The criticism for DH is that it has an awesome premise and then basically squanders it in a boring and linear "scavenger hunt" without even...

For those who do not speak Italian, I can confirm that they have announced a word-wide premiere of the revised rules.

Are you sure? Need Games is going to publish the Italian translation before the English version? It seems very strange. Do you have a link?

After failing to get a copy from either Amazon.it or Amazon.uk, I was finally able to get my copy! :)
