I think it is just the first edition book core rule book if I still have it. I'll look for it when I dig out the emotional intelligence one.

Hey does anyone know if there are Basic Rules available?  I haven't played D&D in about 18 years, but would love to get my nephews into it.  

[Sirgod]

I think they do Kmelew. I gave my sis a copy of them about a year ago. It's been awhile though , But I'll look at the local shops and see what they have for you.

I just turned 34 on Sunday. Now I find even D&D is younger than me.

Crap, I hate it when reality comes around smashing me in the face...


(I know, some of you old farts are, um, older than me...let me grouse, fer pete's sake.  )  

[Kmelew]

Sounds like what I said to you.    I sent you a PM with a list of modules that I have from TSRs old downloads.  I also sent you an E-Mail of a photo you may find useful.  

Here is a link for you.

[Sirgod]

Thanks Nemesis, I appreciate all of this.

I enjoy giving people a hand.   Hope it all proves useful.

Where is that 1GB google E-mail account when you need it?    

[Sirgod]

LOL No doubt. I hope It get's out of Beta soon. I have a feeling We will give new meaning to Carbon Copy to in email. LOL

Nemesis, good luck with the convention, although I doubt Ed would be offended by an autograph. I still recall a convention up at Tulsa where Bill shatner recieved proceeds from $100 tickets in order to maybe get his autograph , But he was only signing for an hour.

My sister did get her book signed (not personally, the daughter of a friend took it over).  She also suggested (at my sister's urging) that he include a phrase made "famous" by my character in a future book and apparently made note of it.  It's not as amusing out of context but if you read a Greenwood novel and a character says "trust me, I'm a Bard" that's it.  (My PC was lying he lied a lot ).

I left before Greenwood showed up.  My sister may speak with him tomorrow (she works for the shows operator).

I used to play D & D back in my teenage day, along with Traveller (what's the difference between Traveller and MegaTraveller?) plus Villians and Vigilanties. My character used to be Prism, different power for each color of the spectrum. I don't remember the powers, lost the character sheet. I don't actively game now but I like Yu-Gi-Oh because of the D & D feel to it. Just bought the Battlecity finals Part I off the net from E-Bay, the Japanese version kicks butt over the tame US watered down version. You also get an intertesting language lesson in how things are translated from Japanese to English. I'm typing this with my +10 wireless keyboard

I never was able to try Traveller, non SciFi oriented friends , they liked Trek but that was all.  I did play Chill (one game only as a player without reading the rules) and Marvel Super Heroes for a while.  

I liked the flexibility of the Marvel system.  It allowed creative behaviour that truely mimiced the way the comic heros worked.

D&D turns 30

I recently began DMing a 3rd Edition game for some friends after years of not playing.  After battling skunks and dire skunks they say I am still a D(emented)M(onster).

Dang I feel old now. Man I started with a few phamplets years ago, and this post, well, I'm going to eat my Bran and go to the Bathroom If I can find my Cane.

I have probably thousands of dollars in original printing first addition manuals and modules through the latest addtion. Two foot lockers and three book shelves. Not only D&D but a host of other RPGs as well. Arduin Grimoire, GURPS, Shadowrun, megatraveller, Ninjas and Superspies, BattleTech some palladium games but not rifts, many fragments from other systems. Recently got the d20 modern core rulebooks even though I have not had a group to play with in 14 years.

Sounds familiar.  I hadn't played in about 7 years when I started DMing the current 3rd Edition campaign (by popular demand) .  

We are just wrapping up the first adventure.  I am about to give them a very easy 2nd adventure.  If of course they realize how to do it the easy way otherwise they could have problems .  The 3rd adventure adds another PC (the 4th) and possibly a 5th PC as well as more complexity and lays the groundwork for the beginning of the main campaign.

I always felt stupid buying the books with no active gaming life but They are irresistable. Though with the prices they are asking today it is a little easier to resist.

jerry, would you mind me Grabbing a scan of some of that old stuff. I have an extra copy of the 3.0 AD&D core books, although It's up to 3.5 know, but you can have them.

I'm particularly interested in the old Bloodstone series. H1-4, or If you have a copy of the Dieties & Demigod's with Cthulu that I could copy the stats from It would be much appreciated.

BTW, Did you ever play Chill? That was one great game in my old old group. The game came out about the same time as silence of the Lambs, and they ran across three threats. Wearwolves in the artic, a serial killer making himself out to be a Ghoul, and My best was poppets and there queen ( for lack of a better word) as they drove outside of town, they Hit a small child with there car, only to find out It was a maniquin.

I still get compliments on that, as It made them really feel something.
