If you have not seen it yet check out the game Basic Fantasy. It is Old School D&D with VERY LITTLE of the D20 system. I ran a game with 2 of my daughters 10...

... I picked up RQ (2nd ed, IIRC) back in the early '90s. At the time, I was sour on D&D combat and wanted to try something new. RoleMaster proved to be...
... I've enjoyed spicing up D&D with RQ critters for a long time now. My favorites are the Broo (chaotic goat-people, the ones in the Diablo games resemble...
... There are two types of magic in 2nd edition, Battle Magic and Rune Magic. Third edition changed the names for these types of magic, and added a third type...
... Hi Mark, Thanks very much for this helpful explanation. I've not read over the RQ material since '92, when I (sadly) put the game aside. But after reading...
Not that *this* hasn't been discussed before, but this talk of RQ spell system got me thinking. As a starting point for discussion, here's the system from...
OK, I confess that in my excitement, I posted in a hurry. As a result, my maths are wrong, so as an addendum to my last post (and including the ... D&D...
I like the idea of spending HP for spells. In HP-centric systems like D&D that could work really well. A simple spellcasting limit to implement that allows...
... Hi Mark, This was the original plan, but we scrapped it after some playtests. 1hp for magic-missile seemed reasonable, but 9hp for wish seemed too low. We...
Hmmm. I only added a spell point system to increase the number of spells cast for M-U's at lower levels. I do like the idea of allowing a M-U to cast a higher...

Hi all, My next campaign* is still in the planning stages and we're discussing what everyone wants to play as PCs still. One thing all of us have been able to...
I had a PC that was a "free" iron golem once. The creator was (and still is) trapped in a sort of limbo by another NPC M-U, and the golem was left with a set...
You'll probably want to put a cost on the shapechanging to limit how much can be done, and possibly put on a time cost as well. Perhaps allow a number of...
I wouldn't allow shapechanging, a fixed humanoid statue is far easier to handle. I would let it have a better AC (maybe even improve it slightly with ...

Hi all, ... Alternatively, maybe someone has the freetime to retroconvert Eberron to OD&D, give it some more Old School flavor, and post the results here? ...
