    D&D 5E (2014) Everyone Starts at First Level

    This is the play style I prefer and we have mostly done. Since I still run 1e as a DM its not a problem for us, but I am flexible and have let people come in with higher level characters. As a player in past 1e game I hated dying but bringing in a young buck was a lot of time fun as heck. Also...

    AD&D 1E Just got done running some 1e

    I give this cheat sheet out to newbs, not sure if it helps or hurts. :) Yes I use Thac0 in 1e.....we use the 2e table. THAC0 - Modified Roll = AC Hit. This method is good if you don’t know the targets AC. OR Modified THAC0 - Roll = AC Hit. Same as above except all modifiers are already...

    AD&D 1E Just got done running some 1e

    Combat Procedure we normally use: 1) Determine Surprise if Any - If one side is surprised other side gets entire free round 2) Players declare if anyone is casting a spell. Don't need the actual spell just if a spell caster is starting to cast. Spell casting starts before the die is rolled. 3)...

    D&D 5E (2014) [FR] Mount Hotenow, Thundertree, and Neverwinter

    Honestly I am going to keep using the original AD&D grey box with some stuff from 2e. I use a lot of the time line up through 3.5 but after that its wide open since in my FR 4e never happened.

    Spell interruption rules in AD&D (and evasion/pursuit rules)

    Not sure this helps but this is out we do it in AD&D. Declare Actions If casting a spell must state you are casting a spell, but I don't care which spell. Spell casting starts. Each side roles one d6. High roll (or low) wins. Ties are simultaneous (or we roll again). If your side lost...

    AD&D needs a lil' love. Favorite PCs/concepts/race-class combo's...

    Well, just don't want to deal with illusions as a DM and the people that want to play them all ways seem to be the newbies to 1e. ;) If one of the veterans asked me nicely I might let them.

    Not really, I just don't want to deal with them. :) We still play 1e once a month or so along with Pathfinder. I have a lot of experience with them in regular 1e campaigns (playing alongside not DMing) its just with the hassle of running illusions. Our old 1e DM had no problem letting people...

    Pathfinder 1E Does pathfinder strike anyone as too gamey?

    We play pretty much Core PF (just the main rule book) only for character creation and I like it better that way.

    Cohorts WITH ARMIES??? WHAT???

    When we take the Feat we are not allowed to bring cohorts to the table. We use them for keeps, businesses, and other things of that nature.

    AD&D 1E Using 2e supplements on 1e

    I like XP for treasure and still use it in my 1e/2e game but all the XP goes into the pot with monster XP.

    AD&D 1E Using 2e supplements on 1e

    They are pretty much 95% inter changeable, and yes 1e does have ThACo. Back of the DMG. Monsters, items, spells, classes, and adventures can be used in either.

    Anyone else excited by Blood & Treasure?

    Thread necro. I like the game but I really only play PF and RUN 1e AD&D. I have never had that problem with magic users so I dont see that being a problem in B&T either.
