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.

Check your email when you get back from the Bar Fun-Fun. And when you successfully recover after that. I understand their Uvita requires a Saving Throw.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what\'s on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.

Quote from: RPGPunditedit: I've now confirmed that this is indeed the policy. Frankly, this seems ridiculous to me: People who are only lurkers won't care about not being able to have a .sig anyways, and those who are planning to be frequent posters to the website don't need to be bribed or cajoled into it. Meanwhile those who decide this site isn't for them won't be sticking around just for the sake of the privilege of having a .sig.
It's nice to see this problem was finally cleared up.

On topic, sadly our OD&D (3 little booklets) campaign is progressing at a snails' pace.

Quote from: NicephorusI liked the basic/expert rules.  If anything the Rules Cyclopedia added too much clutter....

Well, that 'clutter' is pretty much entirely optional (the skill system, weapons mastery rules, etc., can be ignored with no harm to the system).  Even with all that 'clutter', the RC is a 'lean, mean machine' compared to the bulky beast that is 3.5 D&D.

The Rules Cylcopedia is my favourite version of D&D, and I'd play it again if I could find people interested.

I'm less keen on OD&D (although I do own a copy, which I cherish).  I'd play it with a great DM, but I'd never run it myself.

I haven't played a full campaign since shortly after AD&D came out, but I did send my 3.x group back in time to a previous age at one point. I converted them to RC characters and ran Sabre River.
