<t>Actually, I just checked and the -10 HP rule is in the 1st edition DMG, page 82, under "Zero Hit Points." As it usually is in 1st edition, there wasn't anything about them being optional, so technically it's 1st ed RAW. It isn't in OD&D, but then again those rules didn't have all that much de...

<t>Many thanks for the replies so far. I've ordered Wildscape and Outdoor Survival online, and am looking forward to checking both out (obviously from wildly different angles of the problem). I'll check out Mortality of Green later on, the party in my game is currently still 1st level. (That's a d20...

I've been handling experience on a pretty straightforward basis: monsters as written, plus GP value of treasure, plus 50 XP per hour per level as a story award, with occasional bonuses for good playing, so it looks like most of the PCs will be...

<t>I'm going to be running my second game of Castles & Crusades in a week and a half, and I'd like to make sure the encounters are well balanced. One of the encounters is with a monsters I found from a PDF online, they're 2HD creatures with a tail attack that can cause a constriction effect for ...

<t>I'm currently working on getting a Castles & Crusades game set up in southern NJ (I live in Mount Holly). It will be set in Greyhawk, using the 1st edition version of the setting, in the Iron League when Herzog Chelor of South Province makes his attack on the League. The PCs will go from bein...
