SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Hope this helps.

It helps immensely estar! Thanks!

And each of these rules/ruling makes lots of sense. It looks like battlesystem, plus AD&D, plus your tips solves most of my questions.

I'm still amazed sometimes at how much creative output there was in the early days of our hobby. People still discuss certain OSE questions that were solved in 1978 (e.g., level limits).

The reason for the debates is that classic D&D has a fair amount of arbitrary conventions. I found after extensive playtesting that these conventions have little to do with whether a campaign feels D&Dish or not. In short, D&D does not break if you remove level limits. If they fit what you have in mind for your setting, then by all means keep them. If not, you will still be able to use the wealth of material written specifically for D&D.

Of course, there are limits beyond which the game and the campaign become something else. However, I found these limits to be broader than what most people think. For newer players it is a neverending source of debates.
