1e AD&D

Well, looks like there's going to be a Basic D&D game starting up soon, which I'm excited about. In the spirit of the old school, who'd be interested in a 1e game as well? I'd DM it, probably allowing content from Unearthed Arcana as well as that in the PHB.

Any interest? Any requests for what you'd like to see?

Temple of Elemental Evil? Pharoah?

Temple would be easily doable. I like starting at level 1, so Pharaoh is a bit higher (5-7).

Ye gods man, GP is going to turn me into a 13 year old!

Hello THAC0, my old friend!

The true meaning of "There and Back Again."

Does that mean you're in?

What about you, Valdus?

I'd certainly be interested, though I've not played 1e before. Is there source material readily available through some method?

I can get you the PHB if you'd like. Just give me your email address, either here or by PM and I'll send it to you :)

I am a wee little bit of butter on a damn big piece of toast, a gigantic acre of a slice. I got a LOT of games spinning, including two of my own. I want to, and if you run The Temple, damnit Im just going to have to do it. One thing that is fascinating about this site is that it is all a tight circle of players which is mostly holy cow awesome.

But yeah, if we got a Temple I'll do it.

Dammit, I'm in the same boat as Valdus, but I've always wanted to play Temple! Is there room for one more?

Well, that would make 4 :)

I'll probably post the game tonight, and we can iron out details/house rules (I am probably not using the initiative system as detailed in the book) in the game threads

This is awesome. I've been kicking around the idea of running a 2e ADD game. I just might still. I'm happy to see older versions get some love on GP.

You bet, I'm in! But I haven't played this ruleset since 1991 (and even back then there was a lot of hand-holding by the DM as far as mechanics went) so I'll need the PHB too. My mailbox is jabes.plays.rpg@gmail.com

Thanks!

I sent invites, but the game page is here

Figures, the one night I'm out and about and don't see a 1E game getting started up! :-) I can't tell you the number of hours I spent reading the AD&D stuff when I was in high school. Probably for the best, considering all of the other games I'm involved with, but will be watching this one nonetheless.

If you want in, I can open up an extra spot for you ;)

I really, really shouldn't, but.... hell, yes! A spot in your game would be much appreciated. :-)

2nd Edition's greatest and best contribution: allowing Rogue characters to fully customize their thief skills. Totally made sense and got rid of the 'every thief/rogue has the exact same skill set' nonsense.

Invite sent! Six players is my limit, so I'm gonna cut it off here :)

I resisted, knowing that I'm in enough games, but I feel so incredibly envious and nostalgic! I still keep the books handy.
