I'm a BECMI D&D player and I am not sure what OD&D can give that BECMI don't already provide. If I recall correctly, OD&D was kind of poorly written and somewhat confusing in many places. I read it to satisfy my curiosity, but I can't really see myself playing it. What exactly you found so...

I brought Warhammer FRP 2nd edition last year and I am happily running a game. It was my best rpg purchase in years.

They are pretty good. However, they are mostly about history with somewhat short roleplaying notes. I thought it would be a best investment to buy real history books and adapt the historical period yourself to your rpg needs.

Aside from core books the honour should go to either AD&D's The World of Greyhawk Campaign Setting or Star Frontier's Zebulon's Guide To Frontier Space. Funny to think that, during the 80s, I really enjoyed the Zebulon's Guide but today I was reading the Star Frontier rules and I was surprised...

Silk Road? This sounds interesting, could you elaborate?

I voted for the Duskblade, not that I have anything against it, as a matter of fact, I never read it. However, after I helped getting rid of the psionics abominations, I finally can concentrate the class I really like in this list -- the scout. Although a few posters see it as bland, I am...

Ranger and Wizard. Nearly all my characters were from one of these two classes.

A few sugestions: Kill Elminster Publish a series of one volume settings, one per year (Greyhawk, Dark Sun, Mystara, etc.) Publish at least one mega-adventure per year Hire another art director Revise d20 Modern Concentrate in making money with the minis

The Fly spell is one of the points where D&D stands way off my personal view of fantasy. I really think that flying characters is more akin to superheroes than fantasy. Once I was playing a game a friend was dming and got very irritated as I couldn't stand seing a party exploring a dungeon with...

I am in Brazil and there are a lot of other Brazilians and South American around.

The first one I actually played was the Keep on the Bordlands, although my elf haven't endured much. Latter we played a lot of homebrew modules, including the ones I DMed, as we didn't have many modules to play with. Many years latter, I DMed the Return to the Keep on the Bordlands, but I...

Interesting, I will check it later. I am so sick of the core races that, except for humans, I plan not use any of them in my next campaign.

That was clever. Certainly made the adventure much more interesting.

Sure, I am convinced that the Shadow Elves are nothing less than Drow done right.

Last time I DMed D&D, I used the Rules Cyclopedia. Characters were generated with 3d6, in order, by demand of the players (I favored to choose the order). I liked to see how they created justifications to their stats and were quite pleased with their characters. Surely showed me how min/max is...

Not really. The idea is pretty good but the execution lacks. I the few times I DMed with d20 I found that CRs would not give me an accurate represetation of the challenging of an encounter and so I needed to study each monster entry to evaluated it myself or, sometimes, make some modifications...

The drow was the great surprise of the GDQ series. There were not described in the old rulebooks, although there were some metion of evil elves in the monster manual. When I played the series, meeting them was a great surprise to me and the other players. In Greyhawk, drow are unknow to the...

I am a classic Traveller fan, although I would also play other games, such as Alternity. Unlike many of the posters, I don't feel that d20 do well in sci-fi games.

One my favorites rpg sourcebooks in any system. It is certainly humorous but also is very clever in portraiting the orcs.

I have it and if you are playing AD&D it is really very useful, even having most of the books in print. Especially because the complete series is not that good anyway and I find easier to paste what is worthy and print it to put in use. Additionally, I had a lot of fun with the character...
