Either way, don't look down! Soon as you do, you fall. At least according to the physics I learned every Saturday morning.

 

[Everett]

Physics taught you that you fall if you look down while flying magically over a giant chasm?

Hm. That's some kind of new-age physics to me...

You never read any of the works that Professor Coyote published?

He's a super-genius, you know.

No, I'll take 'celebrity dirt' instead for $200.

Uhm. Or another update.

Or some tea.

Tea is good. Update is better.

I have only had a few opportunities to play D&D since high school and after reading this post and a few others I have rekindled an interest in gaming. I thought I had outgrown.

I recently found a large stash of all my first edition Ad&D rule books and modules and am having a good time reading through them.

I wondered if Sagiro, Piratcat or Spyscribe or anyone else of there caliber have considered publishing a printed version.

I thank you for reigniting my interest

My wife however does not

Thanks

Same thing happened to me. I totally missed 2nd Edition and got back into it in time to get 3rd as it came out (and then upgrade to v3.5 - for more money of course).

Our group was still forming when 3.5 was just coming out, we were able to skip 3.0 and go straight to 3.5 without the sidelined books. These story hours and this forum have helped keep my interest in the game going as well.

Welcome back! If you'd like to get your wife interested in gaming, I'd suggest starting with something like Spycraft or d20 Modern. Many people who can't wrap their heads around the concept of gaming have problems because they don't know what a wizard would do in a given situation.

But most people have seen an action or spy movie. It's easier for them to visualize the situation when you say "Ok, you're trying to break into the vault at the Bellagio casino" than it is to say "you're confronting the dark naga". And with familiarity comes enjoyment and willingness to try other things.

Pick a movie you've both seen, like Charlie's Angels or something like that and model a simple adventure on that. And because they're D20 systems, when you go to move to D&D, many of the mechanics will be familiar and will work the same way!
