I plan on asking my group to switch systems. Most of them will have no problem, but if some do I can understand. What I plan to purpose is a AD&D game using the orginal three books. No retro clones, no numbered editions just the game we played for countless hours. I don't plan to change anything. I want to play it with warts and all. I'm interested to see how much different we view the game so many years later.

Finding the Right System
We are on a break (not the Ross and Rachel kind) from our Monday Night game that will resume after the Labor Day holiday. I am currently using 4th edition GURPS and while I do love the system and all of its options and flexability, but I'm not feeling it. I've been reading and writing for S&W, OSRIC, LL and my new renewed interest is in Hackmaster Basic. It has a little of mix of some GURPS and AD&D.

Do you have some sort of conversion chart in mind?
ReplyDeleteWow! Excellent idea. I like it...I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteDoing that is somewhere on my impossibly long list of "campaigns to run, one day."
ReplyDeleteSounds most interesting, I got to play "warts and all" AD&D at OSRCon recently and had a blast!
ReplyDeleteDisappointment. I liked knowing that other GURPS players existed. However, if there's a conversion chart, I'd like to see it.
ReplyDeleteDude...a Friends reference?
ReplyDelete: (
An AD&D campaign that appears as if from nowhere! That's the dream!
ReplyDeleteJB > I am a little shocked and disappointed that you were the only one to give me crap about the Friends reference. lol.
ReplyDeleteI bet you'll pick it right back up like riding a bike.
