I was picturing the dragon in an enormous cavern and that, indeed, Halaster did keep it fed. Possibly with a gate to the elemental plane of fire somewhere within also, out of which the dragon could swoop in a fierly blaze, while the adventurers stand stranded in the middle of a desolate mile wide ch...

At the risk of being terribly boring, I suggest having at least one very classic high level adversary, along the lines of a Great Wyrm Red. Maybe to give it some unique flavor, make him/her equally mad as Halaster. On the killing Halaster subject, in the unlikely event that ever happens, it would be...

Have you considered using a wiki? It's a terrific tool for collaborative works. You could set up the shell of the illusionists handbook, with blank pages for each chapter or section, and of course each page has a discussion page attached, so you could work out details on the actual class chapter whe...

It's looking good Minstrel! :D One thing though...the images of the character sheets open a window to a pop up that shows a crossed out camera (ie not allowed). Are the sheets supposed to show? Also, I'd love to contribute the reviews I wrote for ADDC.com for the new site. :wink: Is it possible you...

I have a lot of flexibility with the site, and I...

A wee new site - orcforge.net
I have set up a new site dedicated to reviewing back-in and out of print material for AD&D and other classic gaming systems. Zherbus has already contributed a TON of material in the form of reviews of some classic TSR products, and I just wrapped up a review of net-published character sheets. I'...

I never found anything remotely difficult about THAC0, nor did I understand the complaints that it was too difficult. I won't argue that it's better than the d20 method (which really IS the same thing, just looked at from a different angle), but so much harder...nope, just don't get that. To try to ...

I'm just looking for a practicle way to do it, with out completely ruining the system, or creating musclulared skilled archer's able to throw rocks a 1/4 mile and accurately hit something either. :shock: My point was mostly that the upper range of the range categories (at least as it applied to bow...

I've always found the ranges/penalties TSR gave bows to be very generous. While I suspect it's technically feasable to shoot a longbow 200 yards, doing so to hit anything other than a stationary target would be very hard. I'd say along the lines of -15 or higher to hit, rather than just -5. And that...

How ever over at DF, some one suggetsed to just use the str pen/bonus for dmg as a +/-10yrd per +/- of the stat to adjust the MAX range of str dependant weapons. which I like and fits in with your concern of increased ranges and accuracy. That's how I'd proceed if I were to implement it. While it's...
