... I've still got, and still use, the dice from about three of the Holmes boxed sets. The sides on the D6 and D4 dice are somewhat concave since the folks who...
... I used to use the assassin from Blackmoor, with the ranger class from Strategic Review/Best Of Dragon Volume 1, and the necromancer from Bard Games' The...
My set had a black crayon in one, and none in another. I then went ahead and stole one of the Crayola's for the second, lol! Meanwhile, my entire original...
... Boy, that brings back the memories! Thanks, Dee. I also recall dice that had reactions on them, something along the lines of 'Attacks', 'Wary', 'Runs',...
Whilst studying a part of the players guide to Ylaruam I stumbled across this interesting bit of information on Desert Druids. The further I read into it the...
Back in Ye Olden Days of the original 1974 rules I believe that they actually had Balrogs. Does anybody recall offhand the hit dice of the Balrogs? Doc...
... Yup, they had 8 hit dice, same as Ents. Ents became Treants, Balrogs became "Type VI Demons" and went to a 10 sided die for hit dice once Eldritch Wizardry...
Thanks! Every dungeon ends with a big ol' dragon, so I'm making mine end with a big ol' balrog. Doc Mark Graybill <saundby@...> wrote: ... Yup, they...
In general, the original Monster Manual is perfectly usable with OD&D. I used it for many years, and still do to a large degree. Use 6- siders for the hit dice...
Hi all, ... with a big ol' balrog.< Thanks to the Fellowship of the Ring movie, my players were horrified at the idea of meeting a balrog in my campaign. We...
Well, to give the Paladin credit, a Paladin will have better attack rolls than a 'mere' Istari Wizard, no matter what level the wizard is... ;) Remember,...
The Type VI was no Balrog, but the stats in Eldritch Wizardry are pretty impressive. 75% magic resistant, the ability to generate magical fear, teleportation...
... Not until you show us average combat die tables for each round of simulated combat, you're not :-D Cheers, -- Erin The Chimera RPG: Generic Rules for...
Hmm. I have Greyhawk, Blackmoor & Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes. Been missing Eldritch Wizardry since the late 80's. That would explain why I remember seeing stats...
That just sounds anal retentive! ;) I thought I was a geek for having stats & basic description of over 500 npcs written down before we sat down to play B2 for...
... I don't recall it being described in The Dragon. My original books fell to pieces years ago, I've still got the stained, smeared leaves but they're not...
... Yes, though there's nothing in the rules that would reflect that. The first image of a Balrog was the one in Eldritch Wizardry. A better representation...
I'd make Gandalf a dual class Druid & Mage. 12th to 14th level druid, & at least a 16th level wizard. D&D rules didn't allow wizards to use swords, although...
I still have that monsters set of RP minis! Balrog, mountain vampire, werewolf, Gollum, to name a few. I don't have them in front of me tonight (out of town)...
... Heh...I won't take that bet. But it does present an interesting opportunity. Clearly, the Istari cannot be pegged into an existing class, which makes me...
Hi all, ... Wow, an official contest, prize, and everything! But I only have until March to read the Simarillion now? Gulp... ~Scott ('n Megan) P.S. Hey,...
... Yeah, official contest and everything. To clarify, though, the winner will receive *either* a $5 for RPGNow, or the ESD of their choice from the link above...
I may be wrong, but i think that there`s not much (if anything at all) about the Istari on the Simarillion. I would start with "Lost Tales" - I think that...
... Hi Daniel, Chronologically, the Istari didn't arrive on ME until the Third Age, so you are correct about the Simarillion. However, there is a short section...
Hey Erin, ... Yep, I meant "Unfinished Tales". I own a translation of the book to Portuguese, so I just (incorrectly) guessed the original title. :) Cheers, ...
