I had sooo much fun playing the Basic D&D. In fact the B2 module was my first store purchased module, as a kid, and I colored all the pictures in it. Great sentimental nostalgia, and even more fun revisiting the caves of chaos with Norm merging in some Hack master flare in the Red Triangle Orc tribe cave.<br /><br /> In my opinion, the Basic D&D game flowed pretty well as it took me 2 minutes to roll up character as was not tied up in selecting skill & powers & such. Party initiative was cumbersome at first, as I was used to individual initiative, but once I grasped the simple ness of it, it made for interesting ‘simultaneous’ affects.<br /><br /> Thumbs up to the death & dismemberment table, which gave everyone a second chance, as both Clerics were doling out the cure light wounds asap. The simplicity of the rules and the jovial energy of the players was intoxicating. I’m totally up for another old school game.TheUnlikelyOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13765035227777442262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179649506981851979.post-56667040860421669682010-03-23T14:20:53.368-05:002010-03-23T14:20:53.368-05:00I would have remembered Whispy's name if he ha...I would have remembered Whispy's name if he had died.

So a dwarf with just a few long strands of white hair adorning his chin would inevitably be given the appropriate nickname of Wispy.<br /><br />He was also the character who used the d30 roll for death and dismemberment. You don't get to be his age w/o having a few survival tricks up your sleeve.Paradigm Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13120082187896921402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179649506981851979.post-40766199670105871562010-03-23T09:32:35.513-05:002010-03-23T09:32:35.513-05:00Fido and Rover died?
