1st Ed D&D

[BobProbst]

So anyone else feel like putting together some 1st Ed characters and going through a Gygax module?

 

[Fyrestryke]

Aye!

 

[thormagni]

Aye!

I had my Basic and Expert rules out tonight just flipping through them. I think these are technically my second set of the red and blue rules, since I wore out my first set. Still, I picked these up 10-15 years ago.

I think what would be fun would be to play the white box set of Castles and Crusades from Troll Lord Games. I picked it up back in 2004 and it is a neat little homage to the original D&D white box, using a variant of the D20 rules. It even came with dice you had to color with a crayon. Too sweet. And since GG last worked for Troll Lord...

Or maybe the original Basic set rules and Keep on the Borderlands...

 

[BobProbst]

I'm fine with either but would really like to do it old school. I DMd Keep on the Borderlands back in 7th grade and would love to actually play through it.

 

[Fyrestryke]

I'm with you guys. I've never had the pleasure of playing those older versions of DND. It's high time I did. =)

Next weekend? I can be up to speed on the rules again by then. Chris, I think you will find these very, ah, different. They have like 10 different game mechanics all going at once.

Next weekend is good (you mean the 15/16th right?)-- I'll have a 2 year old in tow however. If we want to schedule the game for the evening, he'll be asleep for most of the time.

 

[Fyrestryke]

Sign me up, we gotta do it on Saturday, I'm busy on Sunday...

 

[thormagni]

So... are we really going to try this, this weekend?
