anybody play original AD&D anymore:spells

[Plane Sailing]

well anyways iremember it was labeled D&D,before the original books,maybe a pre-sample so they could put together the first series

if there are any questions i have a lot of information,spells,classes,items,etc

ex:greater psionics

Since you talk about psionics which were introduced in Eldritch Wizardry (not to mention monks (blackmoor), rangers (strategic review) illusionists (strategic review)) I think we can catagorically state that this does not come from pre-D&D books.

You seem to forget how basically primitive D&D was at the outset in the little white box

You really should go here and see if Gary remembers what system this is from. If it is really old, then they would have probably been sued by TSR for using the term D&D.

[Edit]
Also, I would like to point out that it could be from someones homebrew setting. A good friend of mine and his buddies printed up their campaign book, all thier modified rules, etc... and had it printed and then carried by the local game store.

I'm starting to think he's just taking the micky; after all he's merely ignored any posts relating to factual inconsistencies in his stuff, and ignored Grazzts requests for Titles, copyright notices, company information... or, in fact, any evidence at all that he isn't just making this up as he goes along.

No, no! I don't think this is an elegant troll. After all, I could swear that this information was in Metamorphosis: Alpha. Or was it Ninjas and Superspies? I forget. But one of those, anyways.

I just had it confirmed that this is definitely not any relation to Rolemaster, either. Maybe palladium RIFTS or similar? No offense meant, Felikeries, but it really seems like some very involved house rules based on the collective rules knowledge here, in which case there's no telling the origin of this material.

 

[robberbaron]

Oh, sure. Then it's probably borrowed from Twilight 2000.

Nowt to do with Twilight 2000, I've got that.

Tunnels & Trolls, perhaps?
I seem to remember that being rather "different".

It is a serious amount of work for a set of house rules, but then one of our friends completely re-wrote Palladium 'cos he felt like it.

as i stated in a previous post the material i have now is notes and copies from the book,the book itself was 20 years ago so the idea that it was limited press and few attained it makes sense,i remember that AD&D refined a few of these rules but they were very much similar

more importantly if there are any interests in spell,class,race,or rules i can answer quite a few of those type of questions

~spells that didn't tell the regenets were any 4 (player chosen)exchangeable at level and if # of uses wasn't named they were 1D6 a week first level learned then 1D6+4 next 4 level's after that 1D8+1d6

a 17 dex and str allowed 1D6 to extra damage to any weapon purchased,and regular weapons 1D6(after totall+original die score,1 die added to roller for damage)a level 5th to 17th(reg+ damage retained & carry over for extra leveler),lesser weapons 1D4 5th to 16th

levels 1 to 10 a player can purchase # of extra's available that # of worths that equals level,then at 10th 3D6 at 3D6 determines chance for extra's any for any weapon rolled for each extra purchase

at 15th level then 19th,25th,and 30th special spells for any magic using class were available they cost usually more than 1 spell learned for 1 but spell's acumulate from 13th to 30th 2 spells a level(so if unlearned one could have 20 or more to spend for these new spells)

Felikeries,

The reason why people aren't asking about more info is that there needs to be a point of reference, what system it came from. At this point 'where it came from' is of more interest as you see from the above posts. You say it's from a prepress document, never printed version of D&D, or possibly a limited print run. It couldn't have been final 'released' work no matter how limited the print run or the people on these boards would know of it, so that leaves us with two options, one its from another system, or two, it's as you say a 'prepress design document' of D&D from 20 years ago.

To quickly find out, just ask Gary Gygax at the thread that I linked to above, if it has anything to do with D&D (As in designed by him or TSR) from that time he would know it. If it turns out true, then I think you will get the interest that you are looking for, at least from Diaglo if not others.
