The glory of OD&D

[amethal]

Crothian is incapable of telling a lie. And Diaglo cannot multiclass.

I haven't bothered with a signature in years, but this is too good to pass up.

Diaglo did. The ease of the old rules and the way minis were used back then. The simple ways new rules can be added on. Diaglo used AoO back then for instance so if I wanted them I still could.

I remember Diaglo posting in another thread that OD&D had all the rules you could ever need, so long as you were prepared to make them up yourself

I'll also be starting a massive convertion of taking all my d20 stuff and making it work for oD&D. It is the one true game and I am thankful that Diaglo was there to show me the light.

*stares in disbelief* Is this going to be one of those days you will tell your grand-grand-children? *makes a big mark in his calendar just to be sure*

yep: C&C is the way to old-school-gaming salvation!

As long as people are enjoying their games, that's the important thing.

I was lucky enough to play some OD&D with the wonderful likes of Buttercup and Fusangite and the Expeditious Retreat folks.

Thanks to Francisca, who ran a great game, with full first edition feel!

It was fun, wasn't it?

However, as much as I loved killing owlbears and collecting the severed heads of our fallen enemies "to prove that the mayor was up to no good," I can't imagine playing that sort of game as an ongoing campaign.

I'll stick w/ 3E, thanks.

Och, off course to each his (or her!) own. It's nice to see that a 'chance' meeting at GenCon can change someone's life forevermore.....

Exactly and I am.

 

[Crothian]

You always seemed so vested in the current edition, Crothian.

I've been vested in many systems in my decades of gaming. This is not a strike against 3e, this is myself finding a game that really fits the way myself and my group play the game.

Huzzah for finding an awesome game system! 3d6 rolls all da way!
