What would YOU like to play or run? (Interest Catch-all)

[Leitz]

My plan is different. I'm in scarik's BX/Chainmail game and enjoying the heck out of his Hauberk rule set. While the core mechanics are a blend of BX and the actual "Chainmail", he's refining the rules as we encounter new situations. I'm sharing my working through the "Write Your First Adventure" course and building a module to introduce the Hauberk rules in a basic adventure that leaves options open for a later campaign.

I figured that, but they were actually both written for Holmes Basic, or possibly even OD&D in the case of B1. In my experience both get used with 1e just as much as Moldvay. Which just shows how interchangeable the systems really are.

Cool Leitz. It will be interesting to see when you are done. I have been following your thread on it, just haven't commented on it yet.

I should have the module in text draft in a couple of weeks; if you're interested in giving feedback, let me know and I'll send you a copy. I'll have some questions to be answered, things like "If you were a player, what would you enjoy about this scenario?" and "If you were the DM, what would you like added, clarified, or removed so you could run it well?"

Yeah I know you did
And very true!

I have heard great things about it!
Earlier in my presence here in the US forums I joined the game, but I think I got a bit overwhelmed, and ended up bowing out. I do regret it though.
I was really green into what OD&D is/was, and it all seemed very confusing at the time.
I am a much better person now, and been actually reading the LBB recently

I owe you an apology; you were in the game early on and I didn't interact well. Our characters got along great, but I had a game mindset based on another game scarik ran years ago. In that game my character was a driven planner with lots of big goals, and I came into this one effectively as an extension of the old game. That's why the group structure was such an issue for me, and I didn't handle that conversation well.

I'm sorry.

I really do not remember us having anything else apart from a nice, cool interaction

[GreyWolfVT]

I was in that game as well and left as well I was overwhelmed and other interactions did not go well so I bowed out of it and have avoided any chainmail games since.

And again, apologies for my lack of tact and social skills.

[GreyWolfVT]

Leitz no worries. I just wish i had a better idea of what i was delving into before i asked to join. I definitely got in over my head.

No harm can ever come from reading the Little Brown Books! CHAINMAIL too, for that matter.

I agree with this. While they may not be for everyone to play, there is always something to learn.

[SCARY WIZARD]

Yeah, they're great for ideas, too! If I'm playing in, say, Warrior, Rogue & Mage or GURPS and making a spell caster, you can betcha I'll have a lot of spells that riff on those timeless classics contained therein. Especially hold portal and find traps. This is to say nothing of otherwise looking at the spells for Swords & Wizardry Light and making them a way of life.

I've been spitting on my thumb looking for an Indepdendent/faction-less WarCraft RPG or World of WarCraft RPG game using the d20 3.5 rules. At this point, and with the games that I was in going duckies-up after one (1) page of posting, I'd just be happy to take one of the shorts from the backs of the supplemental books and pipe down on the matter forever! If there's a GM interested, I could easily get about three to seven heads to follow me here and maybe up the membership a little while I'm at it.

Safe travels, adventurers!

I believe you
I wonder if they can be used to play B modules stuff?
I know some people use S&W with it freely, and claim the differences between running them with S&W or BX are negligible.
Though I have found some very interesting differences between S&W and BX.
