Cool idea! I just re-read the Dragon Mag article "Living in a Material World" and the possibilities of material components opened up before me. Combine with m20 and it's instant happiness! Consider the idea stolen!

Not much fiddling, but I will play ToEE with M20 someday...

I'll go and flog my sense of symmetry a bit then. ;) Seriously, I wasn't sure there was a point in pushing the "four" thing too far. I'll gladly drop it.

I thought I'd better add an on-topic reply as well. I've noticed we have four skills, four stats (well, many of us anyway) and four classes. Now, we also have four "special abilities", one for each class. Or do we? Fighters can add to damage and to-hit, more every 5th level Thieves can sneak...

Some stuff looked a bit odd, like there was no lines deliminating tha pages on the right hand side. On the other hand it was just a costmetic oddity. The great news is that the spells from Basic, Expert and Companion rules fit on just a few of the 8 pages. I need to fill it up with some more...

Me happy! Now, if we could just have it done in elisp as well... ;) Thanks! I'm going to try that out at once.

So, was there anyone out there with a Microsoft OS that can help me run that Pocketmod thingie on the B/X spells? Can't someone do a version for a proper OS?

Two weapons add one to AC: good idea! A natural 20 gives another dmg roll when using two weapons: good idea! Me like. About spell lists, I'm compiling a list of spells from Basic D&D to use with M20. That is, spellcasters have access to that list and not everything in the SRD. Anyone who can...

Sounds good to me. Though, since I mainly find M20 to be an interesting but lightweight replacement for old school D&D, I'd prefer to keep the old "save for half damage" effect somehow. Maybe I'll just ditch the magic bonus, since that will keep the effect, and it uses the fewest words to...

Not used that often, then? I think I'm going to take a look at the spell list and see if it's really needed. Thanks!

I just re-read M20 core rules. Am I dense, or are the magic attack bonus actually used for anything else but turning undead?

Greywulf, You are starting to scare me! You already had a page up with folding instructions!? Thanks! I'll see if I can understand that "Scale Margins" setting. I'll do another try.

I have not been able to print and fold the pocketmods. The margins cut off text whatever I do. Anyone care to post some instructions how to set the margins, print and fold it?

The World's Largest Dungeon deserves to be made fun of. :) BTW, what can you put on a DM screen for such a simple game as M20?

"Return to..."? How can you return from "Tomb of Horros" and ToEE? ;)

WSmith, That table of XP changed the environment a bit! Now I see how 100 XP/HD could work. I'll pluck that system and put it into my Hommlet M20 test. I'm afraid I'm to young to have been gaming when 1st ed was new, but I can guess where that xp table comes from...

greywulf, All this talk about experience have made me think a bit about the experience system. In all D&D editions I know of, the experience curve have never been linear. In M20 it is. Is this intentional?

Well, I wasn't doing much more than suggesting an interesting test for M20 as a vehicle for some old school gaming, which is what I do with D&D anyway. Typing it all up is too much work, but thinking about how to do it on the fly is interesting. I guess the old AC is just 20-AC and take...

I like this kind of suggestion, for proper old school experience. But isn't 100 XP/HD a bit much? I thougth that levelling up took 10 x your level XP. A 2 HD monster would then give you XP for 20 levels! Am I missing something?

Attack bonus = HD is a good suggestion! I felt there had to be some issues, even if it should be possible to do on-the-fly, that I hadn't thought of. I'll go hunt for some guys who wants to visit Hommlet... My regular D20 game went south this weekend since a player didn't have the decency to...
