Last Post By: SB.712

The group I started with waaaaay back when ran through Temple of the Frog which is in the blackmoor supplement II. One of our party destroyed an egg and all the frogs swarmed us. We had suffered a TPK and had to roll up new characters all over ag

You're welcome.Well, these are sort of add-ons to a given class, like Paladin or Wicca -- you can't just be an Illusionist or a Wicca, you must first be a Magic User or an Orc, then take the additional class or specialization. However, they have leve

Those are some good points GP. I got real excited about getting a print on demand offer from WotC, but I guess you are right that it isnt very realistic. Simply getting the pdfs back would require almost no effort on the behalf of WotC and would get

I've been working up a campaign set in and around Threshold; really looking forward to returning to the Grand Duchy - and bring the old players back too - after some 15+ years of having left the setting. It's been great just thumbing thru the gaz's and the old adventures. Happy days. Merry Christmas everyone

I used to pore over the red box set ALL THE TIME. I must've run through the solo dungeon in the PHB a million times. I've recently been feeling a LOT of nostalgia for the old game, and I'm actually considering running a "play-by-email" game for my old players. Anyone have any suggestions? Like should I go strict on sticking to the rules as written, or make some modifications, like 4d6 rolls for ability scores, max HP at 1st level, and magic-users having the ability to cast one 1st level spell 3 times before needed to rest?
