This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Are there any OD&D players/Refs on this Board

I've thought about creating an anime-themed OSR-type game with help from OD&D (or retro-clones thereof such as Swords & Wizardry or Microlite 74) and the Anime D20 SRD as well.

The title would be Anime & Adventuring and if I had someone who can draw anime and manga styled artwork (as well as the know-how to make PDF's), I might actually fully create and launch such a game.

Quote from: Chgowiz;868320Yes, I still play and GM OD&D. My wife and I have an ongoing 1:1 7 year campaign (on and off) that is strictly OD&D. My ongoing "AD&D-lite" campaign swings perilously close to OD&D/Greyhawk in a search for simplicity, although I allow the players the classes/races/rules from AD&D/1e PHB.

Hi Chgowiz, haven't seen you around anyplace in a long time! Congrats on that campaign with your wife, that is awesome.
Always remember, as a first principle of all D&D: playing BtB is not now, never was and never will be old school.

Rules lawyers have missed the heart and soul of old school D&D.

Munchkins are not there to have fun, munchkins are there to make sure no one else does.

Nothing is more dishonorable, than being a min-maxer munchkin rules lawyer.

Quote from: finarvyn;868344I still DM OD&D, but I don't get to play it much anymore. In fact, I'm thinking of running my group through a special adventure over Winter Break since, if I calcuate correctly, I'm coming up on 40 years of playing OD&D. (My friend got a copy for Christmas in 1975 and I think we tried it out the next day. If not the next day then the day after that.) Either way, OD&D is stil my "go to" game a lot of the time. :D

Hi Fin, great to see you again. Thumbs up on running that special adventure, I hope it comes off for you!

Quote from: Arkansan;867188Yep, never played it but my last two successful campaigns were OD&D, though it hit a point of house ruled into some sort of Frankenstein.

Frankenstein is great, why don't you tell us more about it.

Get a thread on your campaign started. NOW. cracks whip

Quote from: Bobloblah;867261Agreed. That'd be pretty interesting.

Where would be the appropriate place to do something like that?

Great to see you as well. I'm still trying to juggle real life to see if I can get my group together. He holidays are often tough for game scheduling. :(

That's true, the good news is that it gets a lot easier if you and your players are retired. Hopefully you have a few players that are close your own age.
