And getting better I have more beer.

Hey gents, Let me know if you do go to Ireland and want tips. I did my post-doc in Cork for a year and saw virtually every square mile of that wonderful island. Haven't been back since I came back to the states in 2005. :( When I lived in Boston I was friends with a young woman who was an Irish lon...

Do a shot or 20 for me.

Can heartily agree with you Hedgeknight. I remember going 'Beyond the Crystal Cave', completing an expediton to the Barrier Peaks, killed a cult of evil elementalists in some random temple, wind surfed a glass sea on some skimmer boats to a desert pyramid. Does anyone remember the module that came ...

Then again some of us wish we could.

For me it will likely always be 1e. Started playing Basic and still play in and enjoy a few 2e games, but 1e is and always was my favorite. ... 1e desperately needs editing, organization and streamlining, but that's a small price to pay to being able to cozy up to all those powerful, iconic, memory...

Ok, what type of sword, long, short or?

GreyWolfVT wrote:sorry valiant try but no just a plain +1 sword nothing that elaborate I know some of the players have or had items given to them however i think the only one using the item given to him is Arastor and his bow of doubling.

lol no worries, had to give it a shot.

GreyWolfVT wrote:Yeah make the sword a +1 magical weapon that or add a second weapon of your choice and make that a +1 item. Needed to do harm to these werewolves. Other than that there is not really a whole lot more to do to it no.

Added, lets see if I can get away with this choice. lol

Part of the charm of 1e, for me, is that it's almost like having Gary Gygax's DM notes for his own campaign, with all that implies: messy organization, esoteric tables you'll probably never use, diatribes on gaming philosophy, and illustrations that aren't that far from a middle schooler's notebook...

2E in comparison by default going by the 3 core books seemed less "complete" than 1E as an overall package looking back anyway. Not a knock or anything just my perception now as I own both sets. Looking back it's nice to have psionics and half-orcs, etc in the core books rather than having...

I grew up playing almost 1e exclusively (with some BX and BECMI on occasion), but have discovered, after returning to D&D, that I really like (and probably prefer) 2e to 1e. The two editions feel very, very similar, but 2e feels like a cleaner, more streamlined set of rules (but I do miss half-...

GreyWolfVT wrote:Ok thanks sorry it was what I was thinking you meant however there are enough 1 handed swords wasn't sure.

Was there anything else I needed to fix?

This is the first time I have heard of this magazine, looks pretty damned cool. I'm gonna download them all.

I mostly like about anything TSR created, I started with 2E and Classic (BECMI/Cyclopedia versions). But I'll have to say of AD&D 1E is my favorite, and BECMI/Cyclopedia from classic is my favorite from that game line.

Oops, yeah meant the 1 handed bastard sword, my mistake. Fixed.

GreyWolfVT wrote:Well somethings look a bit off here did you use AD&D 1e or 2e PHB for this?

First printing of the 2E book.

GreyWolfVT wrote:Yeah you can't edit the number there however if you do a -277 you can start from 0

Thank you Grey, now have the right amount after equipment. Think I'm pretty much done.

Shit made a mistake on the money section of my PC, and don't see a way to edit it.

HP roll [2d10] = 11
