What's Next: Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1st Edition (OSRIC)

Now that Star Wars D6 has wrapped up we'll be going down the nostalgia road again with Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1st Edition! We'll be using the "updated" reorganized rules as presented in Oscric - The "Old School Reference and Index Compilation" - that reprints much of the original D&D content in a better layout.

I'm pumped! I kick down the door - there's a mind flayer! We kill it! We kick down the next door - there's a beholder! We kill it! We kick down the next door - there's a giant! We kill it! We kick down the next door - there's an orphanage! We...

Old school, baby! These gaming notes should be interesting!!!

What's Next: Star Wars D6 Revised

Now that my Lone Wolf Multiplayer campaign has wrapped up I'll be moving on to the West End Games Star Wars D6 RPG. It's been a LONG time since I've played in this system but I have played in some of the more recent Star Wars systems and I love that universe so I'm pumped.

There's been some discussion about the parameters of the campaign. We'll see how it shakes out in the end, but as you may recall playing a Jedi is pretty broken in this game. So some want to play Jedi, some want to play normal folks like bounty hunters or rebels. We haven't even settled onto an era to play in. I personally want to play outside the universe as defined by the movies. How cool would it be to play in the Old Republic or after Ep. VI and be Jedi trainees in Luke and Leia's academy? Of course it's the gamemaster's final call so I guess we'll be surprised on Tuesday.

What's Next: Lone Wolf Multiplayer

Now that Marvel Super Heroes is wrapped up, I'll be running a Lone Wolf Multiplayer campaign. This game is based on the solo adventure books by Joe Dever from the 1980's. There was another Lone Wolf RPG that used a DnD D20 system but the Lone Wolf Multiplayer is very, very streamlined and simple. Look for a comprehensive system analysis and gaming notes from our adventures in the weeks to come!

 

What's Next - Classic Marvel Superheros D100

Eclipse Phase should be wrapping up in a week or two. Next, my gaming group is moving on to Classic Marvel Super Heroes D100 RPG! This is one of my favorite systems and worlds of all time. I can't wait!
