Moldvay Basic D&D. I was introduced to gaming through AD&D but could only get the Basic set in local stores... so we switched over to that until we could get the AD&D books.

PS: I'm not looking to host or join a pay-to-play game.

I've recently moved away from my old gaming group and am looking to start up a new group in the Hudson area or join in a group that's in need of a player or GM. As a recent retiree, I have a lot of free time and flexibility as to when I can game, and am up for GMing or playing D&D, Pendragon...

The last session of my 5e game was THE last session of that game before I moved away. It was bittersweet because I loved the group and they (and their characters) really bonded over the course of the year and a half campaign.

I did a BX/d20 mash-up... BX3e Download Link It's more streamlined than 3e (no prestige classes) but there are appendices that let you add "AD&D" classes.

My late, great Scruffy: @payn, my condolences. I was a mess after Scruffy passed away (he had congestive heart failure and we eventually euthanized him because he was suffering). My old girl, Daisy, when she was a bit younger: And the ever-ridiculous Peanut:

My biggest gripe with 5E (which I like, please don't get me wrong) is that the power-curve for PCs is ramped up, adding extra complexity to the game. At the same time, those gains are offset by the fact that the power-curves for NPCs and monsters are also steeper... making the game feel...

I just wrapped up a 5E campaign and, in spite of the rules, had a fun time with it and think my players did too. In the future, I'd use my own Frankenstein rules (a mish-mosh of AD&D, Castles & Crusades, and 5E) as my go-to system.

Elf bard reincarnated as centaur.

I backed the JG Kickstarter and got nothing, except for grief, for my money.

Thank you! I can't wait.

From one D&D-playing Chris Perkins (who's also retiring this year) to another, I wish him all of the best in his future endeavors! He was an awesome ambassador of the game during his time at WotC.

Hi, I've been playing D&D since 1981 and have a nostalgic love for BX and AD&D but would never play them again. In order to "update" them, I came up with my AD&D3e rules and a d20 take on BX (with some advanced options tacked on in the appendices). The rules are a mix of 3e, Castles &...

Both!

Never tried it. I'm from NYC, so it's considered to be sacrilegious to do so. Still, I can imagine it working with prosciutto, shaved parmesan cheese, arugula on a pizza that's drizzled with balsamic reduction (if the pineapple is grilled beforehand). I can't see if working with a typical...

DOPPLEGANGERS: These are creatures with mutable form, able to shape themselves into the double of any person that they can observe. Dopplegangers are subject to neither Sleep nor Charm spells. They are also magic-resistant, saving against all forms of magical attack as if they were 10th level...

That's a tall order for OD&D. Maybe something like: 9th level doppleganger wizard. Level adjusted due to doppleganger abilities. 9th level hairy hill giant druid. Level adjusted due to giant abilities. 13th level human fighter with two 6-shooters, like Murlynd in Gary's Greyhawk game. 13th...
