<r>Soo many weeks and sessions and I just never kept up like I should've, but with so many great stories and good gaming at Winter Dark at least I feel I need to do a quick encapsulate of what my Sunday group has done.<br/> <br/> So far all the characters and players are same as above - have had num...

<r>It was great meeting you there Rhu and I concur - Steve's game was a blast, although I think we may have been a bit punch-drunk during the last hour...<br/> <br/> ... and Steve is a great CK, but I think he might still be miffed that he threw TWO Troll Lords at us and NONE of us died (Chris Clark...

<r>I second old AD&D + the Dungeon Crawl classics -<br/> <br/> I am using X1 Isle of Dread right now in my campaign after going through TLG's A1, after which the group should make it back to the Slag Heaps of A2, then down the road they'll be encountering the environs of DC17 from Goodman....<br...

<r>I'll add that in the middle of my current campaign, my party took a distinct interest in the seas and I needed to veer my next adventure from Ascalon - thought for a second, went to my shelf and yanked X1: Isle of Dread and my party just made contact with the village and the Elk Clan Matriarch as...

<r>IMHOP:<br/> <br/> "The Silence of the Lambs" - managed to transfer just about everything in the book successfully into the film, minus only the two very minor subplots about the FBI director's sick wife and Starling's romantic flirtation with the Pilcher character (which didn't really add much to...

<r>I'll give an example of how cool the SIEGE can be in attempting "feat-like" attempts:<br/> <br/> The 1st level wizard in my game tonight was with the group in Kruggle's lair in A1 (big Ogre in his lair for those who haven't done or read A1). He asked "can I try and run through his legs and get to...

<r>I am now finished with session 4 with my group and so far they are all sold on C&C. The only complaint I have had is from my player doing a Wizard wishing for a few more spells, and I did discuss with him the philosophy of the wizard and he seems ok, but I also think the system wouldn't be av...

<r>Finished our 2nd session Sunday night.<br/> <br/> The group explored the cemetary of Botkinburg to discover the source of the undead attacks, traced to a low-level wizard experimenting in Necromancy for the Witch Queen... found number of goblin bodies, one being a messenger from the Red Caps dema...

<r>Just wanted to also post that after my 1st session I can state that Aihrde is unequivocally the easiest to set up for players new to the setting... took only 5 minutes to briefly explain the legend of the cosmos, creation of the world, coming of Unklar and the 1000 years of the Winter's Dark and ...

<r>Answering another thread I was thinking about the question of non-primes not getting level bonuses.<br/> <br/> Does anyone else house-rule this differently?<br/> <br/> I am toying with a house-rule in my new campaign that says every non-primes do get level bonuses, but at 1/3 rate of primes. I.E....

<r>I too still go with rolling:<br/> <br/> I have them roll 4d6 and drop lowest for each,<br/> <br/> then roll 7 total and drop lowest to get the 6 scores to distribute as they will amongst attributes.<br/> <br/> This usually produces 4 of the six in the mid-range (11-14), one higher (16-17), one lo...
