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.

The 1st Edition Player Handbook PDF is back!

Thanks Estar. They got me with the B/X and BECMI Manuals. They'll probably get me with the 1e as well.


And then there is this concerning AD&D 1e Combat:  ADDICT

Yeah, we used 1e/2e characters on a Basic/Expert Chassis

Finally! Took long enough...and those stupid OCR errors still not fixed. Weak.

Quote from: ArrozConLeche;840425Is there any important difference between this and OSRIC? If I have the latter, what are the good reasons to buy the other?

Because it's AD&D. OSRIC is a "good enough" game, I suppose, but AD&D has a flavor certainly unmatched by any clone/simulacrum out there. Labyrinth Lord w/AEC is a better AD&D than OSRIC anyway, in my opinion. The argument for OSRIC was always, "Well, the original books are hard to get." Not so much anymore.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.
