[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 2509166, member: 8447"] Back in the OD&D days we needed that first supplement ... without [I]Greyhawk[/I] you didn't know how much damage different weapons did! ;) Yeah, I used [I]Greyhawk[/I], [I]Blackmoor[/I], and [I]Eldritch Wizardry[/I] pretty heavily; the gods' jokebook was left by the wayside, as was anything to do with psionics. We also relied on [I]The Strategic Review[/I] and [I]The Dragon[/I] and supplemented our material with [I]Alaurams & Excursions[/I] and [I]Arduin[/I], along with a bit of material from [I]Empire of the Petal Throne[/I] and various off-print books by third parties. OTOH, we never, ever used any setting material, only the rules, spells, and monsters. And after I dropped OD&D I didn't come back (except for brief times, other people running the game) until 3e. Nope, not big on pre-published settings at all. [/QUOTE]
