Jan 12, 2006 4:54:15 Hi,
I've played and master DL moduls 15 years ago, with first ad&d edition (no rules, only roleplay with this version, no ?????)
So i planned to master the campaign again, today. And i asking me if i use my precious first edition or if i look for today books.
What are your feedback ? Is dd3 better ? Why ? I'm not sure.

Thanks,

Loran

What's more, soon you won't even have to struggle to convert those old 1e modules. Look at what's coming..

Jan 12, 2006 14:25:26 Precious first edition!!!... well yes, DLA hardcover is a treasure, but when it comes to game system, D20 is far better. I miss the speed modifier by weapon... in fact i should recycle that rule, anyway when it comes to guidelines for combat is far more specif and demands for a grid which leaves no place for ambiguity, classes are truly different now and prestige classes are a nice addition, xp rewards are more accurate... guess i would go on and on, because 3e improved the system a lot since the old TSR days, as many mature DMs (cant believe i just wrote that!!I) i rejected it for a while but u'll find out that many home brew rules are now official so give it a try.

Roleplaying is nice, specially if u r playing with grown ups instead of silly teenagers (no offense kids, just a bad DM experience.)

Jan 13, 2006 17:08:14 We reintroduced speed factors and Spell segments, and it worked well. We also introduced a hybrid of 23 and 3e movement based on segments, squares, and movement rate (from 3e retrofitted to fit the former). It worked well.
