All I can say is thanks, this is a wonderful breakdown.

While I run 2nd edition (when I get to be DM), it is easy enough to use in 1st.

First, I corrected the Wisdom bonus spells at 19. Rather than a 1st and a 4th level bonus, I made it 1st and 3rd. I ...

No offense intended, here, fellas, but I must say that the more house rules you post, the more it seems you're trying to turn your older edition of D&D into a home version of 3.5e. 90% of the cha ...

Lol, love that reply.

Hey, just wondering what is the whole breakdown of the forums ranks for number of posts? You know, Apprentice, Journeyman, so on.

Thanks, yeah, I am going with WordPress myself.

Some years back, too many to think of, I took our very high level campaign up into the Blackmoor area and used the ruins as a jump off point into a Lovecraftian Dreamland's journey with the Old Ones a ...

I'm back.

Many of you have discussed numerous other gaming systems, but it seems that most of us continue to return to the one that pretty much gave birth to them all (opinion or fact? ...

One last note, I have now roped my son into playing at 14, he has wanted to for a few years (like 12), and Tim is getting his boy into it at 10.

And I love it.

I was eight years old and just finishing up 2nd grade (about 1979) when a new kid moved on the block, let's call him... Tim. (OK his name was Tim.) We struck up a conversation on the bus home and he w ...

And here are the House rules on classes.

Classes-

Rangers get both Hide in Shadows and Move Silently as if the Ranger is a Thief of half the level (rounded down), but also using the applicable ...

OK, here is the first part that covers abilities and races.

Determining Abilities-

Each character gets a pool of 81 + d3 points to distribute to the six abilities. No more than 2 ability score ...

Well, I finally finished (never really finished) up my House Rules and got to 8 pages worth. Think I will post a few shorter ones now and then to have you all comment and post any ideas.

Thanks for ...

Two main things I am working on right now are making a Bard a class of it's own for 1e and tweaking the Monk some at lower levels.

#56 (December 1981) of Dragon Magazine had an article called, Sing ...

Got the non-weapon proficiencies done, with a lot of help from 2e. ...

OK, you asked for it. More Lanthorn 'House Rules"

- I no longer roll for damage! (gasp!) Instead, I let the die roll determine the damage. How, you may ask. The hit roll or saving throw deter ...

OK, so I tried to buy the Profantasy dungeon mapping software, but it is not Mac compatible. Then I tried to buy the Dundjinni package and it won't let me actually pay for it. I have contacted there ...

Lol, I am finding that out with the mapping stuff. Thanks!

Oh nice, gonna check it out now, ty so much.

Yeah, I may end up using G. docs a bit, but looking for more of a site that I create that can be a portal into the campaign for the players and their characters.

Howdy all!

So I am looking forward to getting more involved with the Canonfire! community and also getting more of my old hand written stuff into electronic format, or in to any format whatsoever. ...

I've also turned all my spell-casters (priests and mages alike) basically into Channelers by creating a Mana Pool system from which they draw their magical (arcane or divine) magic use.

I explain t ...

Cool change on the save -vs- Energy Drain, can I ask what category you lump that with in 1e? I am going to add that one change in.

Lanthorn, gonna check that out right now, but that change for spe ...

Absolutely!

And by the way, I am up to at least 3 pages typed of some house rules already Happy

Will share the list soon.

Chris

Thanks for the tip, I will check with him to check on the multi-thread.

I totally know what you mean on "solo" many, and I will toss some of the ones we use in here, mostly 1e.

And anything is g ...

Howdy!

Haven't been here for a while as real life got crazy, but getting ready to starting up a "new" 1e game with my buds.

Anyway, we have our menu of some house rules that we play with, but ju ...

I already had reached out to Dethand, but he was cool and figure we will chat more about it, so no worries. Figure take what I and others can and build from there. As Cebrion mentions, a history fro ...

Wow, thanks yes, I will PM him. I do have an old issue of Dragon that is kinda a "all-thing-dwarf" good on generalities.

Thanks Robb, yeah, that has always been the idea that I have always wanted to tap into the most, plus one cannot ignore the idea of "princes as rich as Kings..." Laughing

Haha, yeah, that I do have. But thanks, I figured if anyone in the world would have anything it would be here. And honestly just want to use anything as a jumping off point, I do plan on digging dee ...

Hey all, still finding my way around all of the information on this site and others, but maybe someone can save me a few minutes. Does anyone know of a good base resources of information regarding th ...

Do I see a new poll in the future, "Funniest NPC Names in Greyhawk History"?

Wow Braggi, I look forward to following more of your, and all the fine posters, work and commentary on one of the coolest blogs around.

It was the names from the Gord novels I was trying to remember, perfedt!

OK, wracking my brain I cannot for the life of me remember the names of the monies of Greyhawk. I know the individual coin types (copper, silver,ect) each were given a more common name (i.e one was a ...

Wow, please do post a journal, I too am just about ready to throw my group back into Hommlet and and trying to work some new and additional ideas into the story since I will not be including the large ...

New myself to this wonderful page, I actually have done some playing with 4e, but found myself longing for the days of good ole "simple" 1e, with some modifications and house rules in place.

Great ...

Awesome! I should also note, that i will be making modifications to 1e that I like from all of the newer editions and some other games that I like, not a total throwback.

Wow, these are awesome!

Hello!
I have been role-playing since way before I care to remember and me and my group, who have been together since we were all in 5th grade, have played most systems and when 4th ed. came out floc ...
