I went to a party the other night and there were a group and a half of gamers therebesides other people at the party. Strangely enough they all played AD&D one group had a campaign tha thad been going on for 2 years and people from toe other group were well familiar with it. It surprised me since it seemed to be well dominant over the modern game. But many of the people i was talking to were 40+ so that probly accounted for it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 15] Author : Ferns Date : 10-03-07 11:10 AM Thread Title : Re: AD&D players?

I just started running a AD&D 1E Temple of Elemental Evil campaign (modified for my homebrew setting. I am so glad I decided to do so after burning out on 3.5 (again) at the beginning of the summer (one of the other players ran Rolemaster -- god I love old school games). It is easier to DM, it gives me back my authority as a DM and you can actually play a 3 or 4 hour session and get something accomplished instead of slogging your way through 1 or 2 fights, arguing about AoOs and 5 foot steps. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 18] Author : Varl Date : 10-05-07 03:16 PM Thread Title : Re: AD&D players?

When gamers ask what version of D&D I play I just say 'yes'. I've found things from all versions that I like and employ. We play by the 3e set, but it swings with the feel of the 2e. My players don't care as long as the adventure is good. I've had to buy a few 2e books, though, because the wizard's player prefers the organization of the data. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 26] Author : Snake_Doctor Date : 10-27-07 03:18 PM Thread Title : Re: AD&D players? Hello All. Just joined the other day and this is my first post, I have been playing D&D (all version way back to when you could buy the whole game in a box, and elves and dwarfs were a class). I started playing D&D in 1981 and have played every version up to and including 3.5... Now my problem is finding players. I'm not sure if there is a better place to post this if so please let me know. We have a small group now (3 players) all the others have dropped out. We are an older group 36+ and are looking for players in Minneapolis MN area. We are all in the NW suburbs. We are looking at starting up a new campain and are looking for player to get together once every 2-3 weeks or so, any interest? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 27] Author : Gleepwurp Date : 10-29-07 10:50 AM Thread Title : Re: AD&D players? Hello Snake Doctor; Wish I lived closer... You could try posting here in the wizards gamer classifieds: http://forums.gleemax.com/forumdisplay.php?f=347 They allow you to sort by general region of the US and you title your location with your state and town so the ads sort alphabetically to make people in your area easier to find. I'd be sure to specify what version of the game you want to play and be prepared to get a lot of mail from people sayin, "why don't you want to play 3.5?" if you say you want to use the older game rules. good luck. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 28] Author : Mojo_Rat Date : 10-29-07 07:57 PM Thread Title : Re: AD&D players?

My group of eight meets every monday night. 2nd ed AD&D/homebrew is what we play. Its really too bad 3rd was too far of a departure from 2nd. The resource materials are hardly useable now. Its a shame, cause they could have kept a lot of customers if it was just a bit more compatible. My group has a couple people that play friday nights in a 3rd ed game, but they are constantly complaining about it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 32] Author : Varl Date : 11-04-07 02:24 PM Thread Title : Re: AD&D players? I keep telling myself the same thing. Even if they have no interest in supporting past editions (which they never have), it's never made much business sense to me to completely cut off an entire demographic of gamers just because you want to release a new edition. At worst, you give them one and only one product on our way out the door: a conversion guide, in the hopes that they'll pick up some new material and convert it back to their game of choice. Not even that small token of years of product dedication was given, and now d20 fans get to experience it. :rolleyes: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 33] Author : WSmith Date : 11-05-07 10:26 AM Thread Title : Re: AD&D players?
