    Why do so many people think that OSR = low level only? The average TSR AD&D module is a LV 6 to 9.5 adventure, according to Wikipedia.

    I'm just curious about so many people who like to dictate how other groups play OSR games. I see so many people wanting to limit the level of other groups. Don't get me wrong, if you have been having fun playing for years at LV 1~3, have fun. What I don't like is when people try to dictate how...

    What games use AD&D 1st Ed?

    I'm curious what games, official or unofficial, use AD&D 1st Ed? Is there any new game that use AD&D rules, or only the games from the 90s?

    Favorite D&D alignments?

    What are your two most favorite alignments and why? Post any experiences you had while playing with a character of a specific alignment. Were they good? Bad?

  5. AD&D Pools of Darkness: What do you find appealing about it?

    I've been playing through the original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons gold box games. I started with Pool of Radiance, transferred my party to Curse of the Azure Bonds, then to Secret of the Silver Blades and finally to Pools of Darkness. Even with how dated the games are, I have enjoyed the...

    For grognards, when was the point of no turning back for DnD?

    When was the point that grognards said there was no salvation from that point in regards to each edition of Dungeon and Dragons and why? I don't think this question has been made here before. You people have any stories to share about how the old players felt with every edition?

    A very interesting Dark Sun stream

    Here is. I suggest watch that stream while doing chores, walking in a threadmill, or playing games. Is quite interesting. Before that stream, I watched a Dark Sun stream in 5E. That stream was pure TRASH!!! Pronouns in char sheets, they invented a democratic and progressive city in Athas...

    Why D&D 2e is the BEST edition ever.

    TL;DR list : High lethality. No "cr 2" monsters capable of soaking cannon balls like on 5e. Nor high level enemies that aren't threatening. Low easy to track numbers Class diversity with kits Class restrictions on races. Eg - Manlets like Dwarves, Hobbits halflings can't be glorious magic users...

    My homebrew Demonologist "kit" for 2e(that can be adapted to OSR games)

    I always enjoyed risky magic. But sadly it can only work on P&P. Losing control over a CR 24 elemental on a TT game as a lv 12 caster can be a reload on BG2 and a party wipe on P&P. The idea of "kits" was introduced on 2e and this is only a homebrew attempt to make a class fantasy which was...

    Any way to play Dark Sun Online : Crimson Sands?

    I know that the game ended in last millennium however, I really wanna play it. I don't care about the 65416854165416534968465*10²³ wow clones. The game is like a MMO version of SSI games and is exactly like the offline Dark Sun games(Shattered Lands and Wake of the Ravager). That said, the...

    Recent TTRPG (D&D) campaign idea...

    I was harassing our Dark Sun 2e DM (who is also a forums member but I won't ID him, I'll let him ID himself if he wants) and I had this epiphany. I'm very sure it isn't an entirely original idea, but I think it'd make a good short campaign for any OSR system. I just prefer 2e AD&D. I guess it...

    Thirty Year Anniversary: Pool of Radiance

    In June of 1988, was released one of the most important and influential computer role-playing games in the history of the hobby, SSI's Pool of Radiance. While Wizardry had given us unparalleled maze-like dungeon design, and Might & Magic delivered breathtaking overworld exploration, it was Pool...
