The AD&D 2nd edition PHB was the first roleplaying book I ever bought and this amazing piece by the great Larry Elmore was at the very beginning. Always loved it.

A couple of OSR d20 inspired games based around specific genres. Mazes & Minotaurs began life as kind of a tongue-in-cheek alternate history ('what if D&D was inspired more by Ancient Greek Myth and Raymond Harryhausenfilms than Tolkein?') but actually ended up as a real, surprisingly well s...

Still feeling my way around the board. Looking around to get my bearings. But I have an itch to scratch. Soon I will work towards getting a game up and running for the Forgotten Realms along the Sword Coast. It will be using AD&D 2e rules. Hopefully there is enough old school game interest. I w...

Thanks tibbius! :) As for running a Talislanta game I don't think I have GM skills or patience unfortunately. Hey - I think I know you from over on giantitp! Hello! I'm also a bit intimidated by GMing Talislanta. There is a lot in that setting and I think it would take a great deal of focused effor...

Hey folks, we need a couple more players for this one. If you have ever wondered if there are "trolls in the pantry" or if maybe "that is your leg" please join us. WFRP 1e rules. :mrgreen: Oof, I absolutely love WFRP and would normally jump at the chance but I'm only just starti...

Hah ... it seems like a lot of us are Talislanta-interested but so far nobody has stepped up to run a game? Edit to add: The creator of the game owns the copyright, and had an official site where he was freely distributing every edition. That site is under renewal with a new host right now, but the...

Maybe the single most enticing fantasy setting ever published. Wow. I might need to check this out. Thanks for sharing. Yeah its a very cool setting. :) Unfortunately they only have the rules sample of the 'big blue book' (4th edition) which is the version I own but it still gives you a good idea. ...

Multiple editions of Talislanta are available for free on DriveThruRPG. Maybe the single most enticing fantasy setting ever published. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/223728/Talislanta-Handbook-1E https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/231140/A-Naturalists-Guide-to-Talislanta-1E https://www.drive...

Would anyone be willing to run a game where the PCs are captured adventurers Polymorphed into monsters by a mad scientist wizard to act as his minions? I appreciate it might be tricky to do mechanically but it could be a fun offbeat game with the PCs adapting to their new forms, trying to stave off ...

I have been exploring D&D 5e and playing around making some characters and concepts. I'd be really excited if anyone was willing to run a crime/heist campaign? An urban campaign with a dislikeable and corrupt governing structure that lets us play the criminals and insurrectionists with variety ...

Hi Ross! Glad to have you here. Sheesh that's a game list that just fits perfect here. I'm sure you'll find a good game to play in. As for DMing, this is the best place I've found to do so, if you decide in the future you want to give it a go again. The folks here are the most supportive and unders...

Hi all! :) My name is Ross, I'm 38 and from Ireland and I've some experience with PbP games over on RolePlay onLine and the Giant in the Playground forums (which is where I heard about here.) I played D&D 3/3.5 back in college but I'm much more fond of 1st and 2nd edition AD&D (I have whole ...
