Hi Eric, I definitely agree that there's a subjective element to any RPG. There has to be, or there wouldn't be so many out there. On that point, I'll concede ...
Hi Bobjester, On of the "little problems" is that the OGL prevents your from indicating compatibility with the OOP D&D games without a licence agreement in...
Heh! After reading that license agreement tripe on that WotC link and DLing the jpgs to be posted on "D&D Fansites" I personally think that the "fansites" they...
I would argue this point a bit, Erin. ;) While we questioned why some rules worked one way & other rules worked another, we, as teenagers, didn't really care &...
I live in Fort Collins Colorado. While I have a weekly group (The Sunday Knighters), I'm always looking for others in the area who are interested in RPGs. ;D ...
Greg, Ah, yes, you are right. Most PDFs I've seen only say that they are compatible with some OOP games, but they give hints & clues as to the specific...
Hi Erin, Yeah, I'm mainly concerned with any potential future issues with WOC. Not that they have complained yet. I'd always included a dislclaimer. However,...
Yeah, I'm frustrated with them as well. Oh well. I guess its their "intellectual property" anyone copyrighted the letter "e" yet. The royalties would be...
Hi Bobjester, Legally, I don't think they are allowed to mention any licensed product without having a license agreement in place for that particular product. ...
Hi, I took a look at the Mythmere whiteboxpdf. It's supposed to be a retro clone of the original white box game but falls short in its combat mechanics. The...
Hi Greg, Perhaps you gave the rules too quick of a read. The S&W rules display an ascending and descending AC and it is up to the players and GM to decide...
Hi Andy, I've always had the disclaimer in there about not infringing so that is good I suppose. I just share them. I've no plans to ever sell the modules on...
SNORKERS! I must have misread the part about the addition of the dice only applying to the Ascending Armor Class combat model. Thanks for the correction Paul....
I think your wrong Paul, I double checked, Page 33 of the whiteboxpdf of S&W say's "If your using the standard AC system monsters use a d20 to attack, add...
Ahh, it seems that you are, indeed, correct. I know that's how the core rules work but I took a closer look at White Box and it is different. I play core but...
... Just to be clear, OD&D is not, in this context at least, the 1981 BX rules, but rather the 1974 rules. That said, Mythmere had a much harder job than the...
Hi Paul, I'll check out the core rules then. It might be a typographical error in the whiteboxpdf that got overlooked. Thanks! I wouldn't worry about steering...
Hi Chris, I'm aware of the differences between the 1974 boxed D&D and the later Mentzer 1981 Basic D&D. What I was trying to say, ineptly, was that Labyinth...
Hi Greg, I didn't realize that you created the Mountain of Evermore adventure. It's one of the elements in my Swords & Wizardry Core Rules sandbox campaign....
Hi Paul, Yes I wrote the Mountain of Evermore and I'm glad you decided to choose it as part of your campaign. It's got to be one of the best dungeons I ever...
Hi all, ... The table comes out looking different, but how are the results different? I've been using S&W for 10 months now and I'm seeing the mechanic, in...
Hi Scott, What I mean is that when you consult the OD&D original (page 19 of Men and Magic) you look up the AC of the target and then the level of the ...
We like you fussy. I, for one, appreciate it. Cheers, -E ... -- Sent from my mobile device -- Erin The Chimera RPG: Guidelines for Multi-genre Roleplaying ...
... turning into a curmudgeon. My o'l fisherman's sweater has elbow patches too. S&W is still a good game in its own right. There's certainly a lot of ...
I'm helping the DM of our group create an awesome little town for our adventurers and I'm looking for some new ideas for cool items to stock our town shops...
Hi all, ... These will be harder for you to acquire, but I heartily recommend "Bazaar of the Bizarre: A Return to Falcon's Bazaar" in Dragon #271 (May 2000) ...
