Nice find! I had a ridiculous dream of finding a complete set, but I could see how getting all the way up to 20 (10100) would be tricky on those tiny faces.

I was reading Darths & Droids this morning, and came across this comic: http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0049.html Just on a whim, I decided to google binary dice, but no luck. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? It would be a fun gift idea.

It's a done deal! :D

Update Well, in our last gaming session, the party finally discovered one of the Swords! :D I had given them some clues that they might find Townsaver in some local ruins, or some hints as to its whereabouts, but I ended up having them find an entirely new Sword of my own creation, Tombsealer...

Yeah, but that was still first edition AD&D I think. I'm lazy and prefer to stick with 2nd edition only, to minimize conversion effort. Very cool. I purchased the Land of Fate boxed set and the Arabian Adventures book last week. I plan on first having the current party travel there as...

Actually, I think I have the "revised" edition. I thought I had the original, but I have the one with Elminster on the cover of the box, which apparently was the 1996 cover. If that is the case, I can tell you with certainty the contents of the boxes are the same, as all the copyrights are...

I have the original 1993 boxed set myself, and I thought the 1996 release was just a visual overhaul, like what they did with the three core books, where no content was really changed, except for some minor formatting fixes.

Well, I guess what I mean is, which did you enjoy the most? Right now, I'm thinking I would like the Al-Qadim setting the best. It has the added bonus of being the closest to the main FR area. As for an entirely new campaign, I think Dark Sun would be cool. I guess I'm also wondering what...

I am currently running a campaign in the Forgotten Realms setting with a lot of original material. I've been contemplating either having part of the campaign move to other settings, or starting new campaigns elsewhere. 2nd edition was, as far as I'm aware, the edition with, by far, the most...

Blame evolution for giving us ten fingers instead of twelve.

Thanks for that link. I'm definitely going to use the free ones immediately to get started, and then put together a gift list. :D

Good suggestions. Currently, we're using counters for the party and dice for the monsters. The dice actually work really well, as I set them all with the 6 facing up, and then I can turn them to other faces depending on what spell effects they're under, e.g. 1 for sleeping, 2 for held, etc...

Ah, eBay, good idea! I've found one assortment of three dozen minis for about $1 apiece so far. I'll have to do more digging, but this could work.

I'm looking for a good starter kit of assorted miniatures to add into my AD&D game. Once upon a time, I had a few dozen really awesome die cast figures, most of which were painted and amazing, but my mom sold them in a garage sale years after I moved out! :rant: I've been looking around...

Yeah, I kinda regret not modifying it, because I had misgivings about it when I pre-read the module. Oh well, live and learn, I suppose. I'm curious how other DMs handled that part, and how they played out the rest of the adventure, as it ends with a powerful mage who can escape the final...

The chimney section, in my opinion, is ridiculous. There is a chamber that has a permanent illusion of a cave-in that hides a secret door. The entire party failed their saving throws, and even if they search the rubble, it feels real. The only other way out of the room is a group of three...

Has anyone ever run this adventure? What did you think of it? My group started it in our last session, and got to the big room with the altar and pool. The PCs had a hell of a time get past the chimney section, and I was just wondering what other DMs' or players' experience with this...

Best way to bring Swords into story? Okay, I've run a single session in this campaign now, and I'm looking for feedback on possible ways to introduce the Swords into the game. My original plan was to have the Swords already out and about in the world, with various factions and rulers using...

I've thought about it some more, and found some other threads discussing this now, and I think I'm going to keep doing it the same way for a while and see how it goes. If it seems like everyone is leveling up too quickly, or if characters are getting too spread apart, I'll adjust it, but a...

I'd actually roll for surprise for the drunk instead of just giving it to the fighter. If he's not surprised, roll for initiative for just the two of them, otherwise the fighter gets his freebie. Then roll normal initiative in the next round.
