Well the 3.5 system is much much more logical in some ways although sometimes you do feel like you are playing chess but still its good.

As for having to have all books it’s just a question of having the right ones. It my seam that WoTC is pumping out books like crazy but the last couple were real good ones the Complete series is mostly grate (Psion, Divine :Bleh:) But the reason for this is that 3rd party sources just do not give out good material, Mongoose Publishing and Green ronin have had some nice stuff but basically that’s it

I thought 2nd ed included a rule about not getting xp if there was no challenge to an encounter.



Well, Unearthed was almost a requirement... setting book.  Hmmm... all of my dice. pencils of varying shades and size for effective map making.  Map paper (vellum colored and grid).  Ruler and compass.  Notebook for keeping all this crap in.  Ah, hell, just grab everything you can carry and drag that bag along.

Course, I don't do that anymore.

I have a car. :D

2nd ed was a bit like that.  The social pressure to get "the complete <class> handbook" was awesome.  Race books, setting books (dear Lord, does anyone ever use the Viking Handbook?)... need I even mention the quest for a complete collection of magic items?

Forgotten Realms was pretty much the transition, and the FR supplements are many.



I didn't have the DMG, back in the day.  Had to sponge off others.  I did have LL, though.  Good times.

Somehow, eventually, I got my mitts on the Dungeoneer's Survival Guide and OA.  I felt like a frickin' god with my repeating crossbow.

WoooT Tindoome has a new Puppy I am going to call him Fluffy and I am going to give him a bath and an I am going to come him and tie a big red bow around his neck. :Awww:  He will be so cute!

O_O

<_<

>_>

Or maybe not

Edit: Wuut?

If my calculations are correct and this Gnoll (Or is it a Flind) is indeed of average gnoll intellect so 6 then my spell lasts 2 months?

That just feels so awesome me being used to the 3.5 Durations

Well I hope you brought the doggie biscuits...

From you limited knowledge, he is a large gnoll rather than a flind. He is likely a leader type and therefore higher hit die and possibly int, so the spell may not last quite as long as you think. Also if the barbarian decides not to take prisoners (again) he may well get another saving throw....

Charm person is the most overpowered first level spell there is, which is maybe why it got imasculated in 3+. "Surely that 1st level mage cannot be the power behind the throne?"

I hate what they did to the thief's best friend, invisibility.... 1 minute/level? This just enough time to get you caught with your fingers in the till :(

I can only imagine all to well what reaction Tindo would have for that

got a few loose ends to sort out so I doubt I can get an update in before Monday :(

Damn those bugbears really suck... I haven't fudged a single roll for them, I haven't needed to. I suspose, I could fudge them the other way... Nah, you've got enough on you plates without that.

ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH

I am now in PBEM hell.

Well don't blame me, blame Lareth...

Anyway just a quick note to say that we are now the official longest running ToEE on RPOL, the record being held before in a game that Felicia played in.  Next target is to beat the longest running Return to the ToEE which both Felica and myself played in but thats another 2000 posts away.

Way to go!

Looks after pet Gnoll and taps foot nerwusly

Arek was there too...

you certainly get around..... ;P

Which RToEE are we talking about?  I was in one that was set in the Forgotten Realms for a while, played a series of clerics.

It is a small pool of 1st and 2nd ed players these days

Felicia was in this one (and Arek?)

link to "The Temple of Elemental Evil"

She was in this one, where I played Muriel:

link to "DnD Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil"

though it was a 3.5 game

The first one - Hettock Keddic

I brought my paladin from return to, into the city of the spider queen.  We're just getting going in that game.

nope, none of those were me.  My RttToEE was also a 3.5 game, but I left because of long periods of unannounced inactivity (announced?  no problem!  leave me hanging for a month without even a courtesy "R/L sucks right now.  CYA in three weeks" and I'm leaving!).

Hi Folks,

this update is taking me a bit longer then anticipated so it will be Monday again I'm afraid....

I will more then probably not be posting on Monday as it’s a Celebration hear [1st May] Hurra for keeping old Communistic celebrations

I think the US, Canada and South Africa are the only places that don't celibrate it in some way...

1st of May being a holiday? I wish! Could do with another day off work.  :P
(I'm in Australia so add this country to the list.)

I read the other day that in the US, May 1st is also 'Loyalty Day' and 'Law Day'.  I guess Loyalty Day was first established in the 1950's so them damn dirty Communists wouldn't completely take over May 1st.

But did we defeat Lareth? :D

quick heads up that I won't be able to update until Monday....
