This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Why was AD&D 2nd like it was?

Quote from: Abyssal MawI seem to recall a 'biblical era' green AD&D book.

I believe there was one, but I didn't own it.

HR1  Vikings
HR2  Charlemagne's Paladins
HR3  Celts
HR4  A Mighty Fortress
HR5  The Glory of Rome
HR6  Age of Heroes
HR7  The Crusades

I don't remember anything about the biblical era, apart from Green Ronin's "Testament" for the D20 system...

Quote from: Dr Rotwang!I'd heard about 'WildSpace", but not the "SpellJammer" vid.  Some day, however, I will hire a team of media retrieval specialists to snag me a copy of each from whatever corportate vault or cyberfortress in which they may reside.

Or just wait for 'em to get put on the YouTube.

Well, I don't know if there was two different videos or not. I do know a follow-up game to DragonStrike set in the Spelljammer setting, but that never happened as DragonStrike bombed big time. Chances are all the pre-production stuff for the planned for that game's video went to the WildSpace TV show pilot. But i don't know.

If you ever snag a copy of Wildspace, you just let me know, though.
Yeah? Well fuck you, too.

Quote from: flyingmiceThe Charlemagne and Viking books were very good - not quite up to the level of A Mighty Fortress, but still useful even now. I have used all of them over the years as references for gaming with other systems.

Whereto Charlemagne

Thank you.

Ken Rolston announced he was working on the book in Alarums and Excursions, a fanzine I was contributing to at the time. I wrote Ken about helping out, and ended up with a copy of the manuscript and a request for feedback. Which he got. In return I got a contributor's copy and a special mention in the book. It's been awhile, the correspondence has disappeared, but I was informed by Ken that I did help make the book better.
Any one who thinks he knows America has never been to America.

A Mighty Fortress sounds really cool, particularly as I'm a huge fan of Eric Flint's 1632 series. (where a town in WV I think it is gets tossed back in time to Germany during the 30 years war)

Amusingly enough, when I checked eBay I found this...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230039355778

A Mighty Fortress - SPI 1976
This item is complete, punched and in overall very good condition. The game covers the Reformation and Counter-Reformation 1532-1555. Players take the part of the powers of the day, deciding the fate of Protestant Europe. This is an excellent diplomatic game on a rarely covered period.
"Dr.Who and CoC are, on the level of what the characters in it do, unbelievably freaking similar. The main difference is that in Dr. Who, Nyarlathotep is on your side, in the form of the Doctor."

Take care Nothingland. You were always one of the most ridiculously good-looking sites on the internets, and the web too. I\'ll miss you.  -"Derek Zoolander MD" at a site long gone.

There's a 1632 RPG, which was available for free for some time. Looks quite interesting...
