OT: am playing D&D light and am having fun

E3 · #1 December 4th, 2003, 05:23 PM

I'm selling my 3.0 Players handbook, DMG, and Monster Manual. the 3 core books.
As well as a few extra books; the stronghold builders guidebook, arms and equipment guide, and savage species.
I'm also selling my 3.5 players handbook and the DMG (already with paper place holders taped in for DM use)

and since I'm in the best city in the world and hte only REAL city in Canada (*smiles and prepares to run for his life*)....

ok this was rambling... ignore it... unless you wanna buy my books.

not that I know anything about d&d but clerics are rather powerful now that they have expanded them past 7th level spells... And that anyone can use a cross bow now. And feats are kind of cool. and they fixed up that crap with dueling or multi class players

The current Version is quite nice.

But again I have no clue what I am talking about.

I would suggest you hit a local store and chat with the people working there.... Players guide will be needed to start.

Which ones?

Quote:

Some Guy
A derisive term for a game that is all combat, and/or for players that are only concerned about combat. Looked down upon by most gamers, because it is seen to go against the spirit of RPGs: 'why play a roleplaying game if you're not going to pay any attention to the role? That's what wargames, computer games, and other tactical games are for.'

munchkin

power gamer

minimaxing/minimaxer

Min-Maxing/minmaxer

raping the rules/raping the system/rules

raping/rules raper

point-shaver

mathematician

rules lawyer

dice bouncing

roll-playing

Spec-out: the specifications of the character, how its points are spent, its nature
Talk-work Rogue: think Dirk Benedict's character from the A-Team, 'Face'
Finger-work Rogue: think ninja-super-thief

I haven't played pen & paper AD&D in about ten years. I bought a couple of the 2nd Version books, but haven't kept up with it other than knowing that TSR is no more and that Wizards of the Coast now own the rights. too bad we live on different sides of the country, Fyron, or we could get a game going (I wonder if Tampa Gamer is lurking here and is a player also). And you're right; a computerized Version of the game isn't quite the same. I sure do miss the interaction of a good role-playing session. I always played a barbarian. Gotta love them.
