Oh what fun!! I really hope I don’t have to work most Saturdays. I had had a thought about the bees (when they got really loud), but I can’t remember it now.

Comment on Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk by daHeadRat

We’ve settled on Greyhawk! Like many gamers of my, um, generation, Greyhawk has a soft spot in my heart as it was the first campaign setting that I read…the 1980 folio edition. Greyhawk never really took root with my old gaming group back then. The main DM, Jim, had his own homebrew campaign setting that we played in. By the time I got around to primarily being the DM/GM in the late 80s, Forgotten Realms was the new and shiny thing on the block and my first couple of real campaigns (i.e., ones that lasted for more than a couple of months) were set in it. I then got caught up with Glorantha and then caught the world-building bug myself throughout most of the 90s. It wasn’t until five or six years ago that I ran a Greyhawk campaign…blending the Red Hand of Doom with the Village of Hommlet and elements of the Temple of Elemental Evil…the Company H Campaign.

Now I just need to decide which “era” of Greyhawk I want to use. The more or less original pre-Greyhawk Wars stuff (the folio and the 1983 boxed set), the post-Greyhawk Wars stuff (2nd Edition stuff like From the Ashes), or the Living Greyhawk stuff for 3rd edition. I guess I’ll just “have” to dig out the old stuff, dust it off, and take a read before deciding. Regardless, we’ll be using Savage Worlds as our game system.

I’ve brought over all the blog posts from the Pathfinder blog to here. After some discussion with some of the players, we’re planning on moving back to Savage Worlds again soon as our regular game! Hooray!!!

I will own up to the fact that thinking of the portcullis as potentially useful salvage was not intended to be pure naivete–in my (long!) experience, sometimes the most valuable (non-magical) treasure in old-school games was hiding in plain sight. I remember the old DMG even had a section about this featuring a bear-skin rug and some sort of tapestry to make this point.

It is official…we’ll be using Labyrinth Lord for this.

There is also a very good chance that I’ll shift to using Michael Curtis’ Stonehell Dungeon instead of Keep on the Borderlands. I’ve been reading it and I’m quite impressed.

old-school rules…rule! I had a blast creeping out Pat with Bambi’s husky voice and renewing my acquaintance with naked 3d6 stats–super fun session!

It really sucks to have lost that 18 STR too!

Pat, it was great to see you!

I had fun, though I wish my character hadn’t died so quickly. I look forward to the upcoming sessions.
