So we should agree to disagree. Personally, and I've played AD&D since 1982, and various wargames since 1979, I think that a proper skill system and dropping of the Vancian system is exactly what AD&D did not need. Not only that, from a marketing point of view it would have been a bad move to...

Dungeonland and Magic Mirror are classic weirdo modules (the Alice in Wonderland modules) for about that range of PCs, and are free to download from WotC's site in the older versions downloads. Although they are in some ways parody, they are kickass fun and VERY DEADLY. I am sure each can be...

There are many good options for low level adventures. Crucible of Freya is good, but I would recommend the tie-in to Temple of Elemental Evil to come in at a slightly later moment (ie. levels 3-6), in my experience the potential adventure in Hommlet and Nulb exhausts itself a bit before the PCs...

The in-print argument actually shouldn't be too much of a hindrance to any DM worth his salt. C&C (which I don't play but own) is close enough to D&D basic that you can even DM their adventures improvising as you go, which tells you how close they are. Largely, C&C, D&D, OSRIC, the D20 version...

Hi Gary, Well, you don't know me and I feel fairly certain you don't remember being introduced to me by Dave Arneson and Mike Stackpole at GenCon (either 99 or 2000). We have a common friend, Andre Moullin. I translated and published D&D basic set into portuguese in the 80's, which is when I...

We should agree to disagree, then. I won't go into all the details, you can read them at the following link, where I discussed it with other fans. I still stand by my original opinion. The "new" modules do not contain a lot of new material, subtract a lot of articles from the older Kindgom...

I played Harn the first time back in 86 or 87. I was a player, and the GM used Chivalry & Sorcery 2nd Edition rules, This started a longish love affair with Harn (I pretty much bought most of the product for it over the years, and still do), and with C&S 2, also (I play a bastardized mix of AD&D...

As most here, I find it best to define bad guys according to some values. Being a baddie doesn't mean one will go around killing people for any reason whatsoever. This is different from the first question, would the NPC baddie have it in him to kill someone cold blooded. I suppose this is as...

I do not play 3rd, and I don't even play 2nd, rather a mix of 1st and 2nd. But I do buy a few 3rd Ed books, and in general I admire the rules design. But it's not a game I like to play (at last as a DM), for questions of taste and type of gameplay. - I don't think PCs are meant to be...

Thanks, Piratecat. On the other hand, now that I think of it (over lkunch, I just had veal scallopini at the local Italian, yummy), I have to concede the fact that TSR was probably managed OK through 93 or 94. Before that, it was in good cash flow, had clear, good lines of production and...

I remember those years reasonably well, as I was involved with D&D. I met Ms. Williams a few times, my company was publishing OD&D in Portugal back in the late 80's early 90's, and so this sort of makes me an insider, also because I was a good friend of Andre Moullin (and still am, after all...
