You are right. I've forgotten the system in AD&D. My apologies to Jenara. I'm sure she'll be fearsome.

We had a real wizard in there somewhere, if he shows up. What can a bard cast in AD&D at level 4? I think it's nothing. Not to minify your bard's usefulness to the party in other ways, of course, if you just pick up a sense of humor. That's a must-have for a performer.

Yeah, and once the bard dies, we'll adopt you.

They live for danger. They've evolved against Darwin's laws.

Speaking of special abilities, here is an idea I just had. We know that to balance them out you have to hung the PC over with disadvantages or limit the ability's use somehow. Well, what about an XP cost? Instead of a more difficult progression table, which kills enthusiasm, we could have per-use XP...

People are too cautious sometimes. It's good that we have an insatiably curious kender to run ahead and set off traps etc. Should have brought several.

I wish you guys would wash up faster. This is the longest spa session in the history of gaming.

What was so forbidding about the Stars Without Number campaign? P.S. Savage Worlds seems like a great system. Fast and sensible. Probably the most sensible rolling system. It doesn't look like it accommodates extensive inventories of skills or powers very well, though. I mean, if I've assembled twen...

Thanks, Tristen. I used to own both Spells&Magic and Skills&Powers... good stuff, I thought, but without a chance to play, it was a moot point. I'll make sure to look at the Pathfinder treatment of Jordan's magic, may be a good system. The Wheel of Time books themselves, well, I think they a...

Hi everyone. I'm fairly new here. I registered to join in on TristenC's Ravenloft game. Yesterday he and I talked about magic and wizards in D&D and AD&D, because I felt provoked to a philosophical rant. Poor guy. But I think my ideas have been coming together and fermenting over years of di...

Actually it might be high-stress, or high-maintenance anyway. I've been in some completely rules-free campaigns, and they eventually ran aground because without a way to decide the outcome of actions players just clashed. "I killed you!" "Did not!" That sort of thing. Plus, rules...

When I saw the topic of this thread, I thought it was about sex.

xelphyn, I might be interested in a reasonably free-form game. What did you have in mind?

I like that poem, Jenara. Is it yours?

I took it down after I realized you'd explained it in the other place.

It don't make no difference, I think, not in that place. The most amazing part about the re-hash of that module I read is, there seems to be almost no rewards. I mean, there's hardly anything to be gained in there, it's just about death in every shape.

*feels almost sorry he brought it up*
