Huh, no grognards around I guess.
Rolled 3 + 1 (1d6 + 1)
>>43725218
I'm planning to run one soonin 4e.
Rolled 2 (1d6)
>>43725342
I guess we each should roll 1 dice to see what gets made then.
Rolled 2, 6 + 1 = 9 (2d6 + 1)
>>43725342
I'm down
Rolled 1, 5 = 6 (2d6)

Shit, let me try that again, with multiple posts, this time.

You may look ugly to the smoothskins, but your voice and musical talent is like Barry White.
Plus, peasant chicks dig your bigmandolin.

Alright, now how do I into 1e, because I honestly have no idea.

Where was this made?

Let's try rollan
Btw, alignment could've been 1d9, because it works here.

Not OP, but the picture shows a part of the 1E Greyhawk map.
>>43728122
This is not how 1e works. You've all been tricked into a quest thread.
>>43728191
>>43728210
>>43728233
TN Half-Elf Bard. 1e.Oh, shi~
And prerequisites actually work. Impressive.
So... Am I Fighter 5/Thief 5/Bard 1 ? Because that's what PHB 1e tells me.
>>43728234
Wishful thinking got me again.
>>43727160
>Lawful Evil half-orc bard. I can dig it.
Nope. You have to be either human or half-elf. And your alignment has to be Neutral at least partially. Also - bard is batshit crazy class in 1e. Qualifying is almost impossible.
Bad OP
Rolled 2, 1, 2 = 5 (3d6)

Not sure how it'll all play out, but may as well give it a try and see.

I went and dug up a Basic Set PDF
>>43731221
Just read through part of character generation. OP's set up is a little screwed up, I think,0 unless they want to shoot for 1e AD&D or something?
>>43731378
Okay, I'm going to assume OP pretty much let this one slide into ruins, so I'm just going to put up what 1e stuff can fit.

They don't fit (8MB limit)
>>43731716
Took a nap. Not sure if there's much else I have that would fit inside the size limit and still be relevant.
Oh. Let's do some adventure modules, since I don't think OP will be back (any time soon.)
>>43731883
Vaguely. I'm just trying to add some kind of value to this thread since OP seemed to have abandoned this thread.
I'm not entirely clear on what version(s) it's is based off of, but I found this earlier:

>>43734590
>>43734602
The invisible ink modules look pretty neat. It's kind of a shame that they're one use. You might need to screw with the contrast in order to see the scans.. Not sure how well they'll show through.
>>43734634
>>43734590
>Solo - Blade of Vengeance
This one's not a solo, it's a one-on-one, hence the "O2" designation.

>run an old-school OSR/Basic/1e hexcrawl
>run
>1e
I tried to run 1e after playing 2e for years. Fuck the attack tables.It was the only game of D&D I've ever DM'd, but I'd be willing to run some sort ofmodule.
>>43734653
I'll make a note. Thanks!
>>43734634
I looked over the pdf again. A lot of the revealed stuff appears unreadable. Not sure if there's actually a layer. It would be neat if there was one but I wouldn't hold my breath.
>>43734652
>>43734729
Yeah, THAC0 was a common houserule dating back to the 70s, it was with good reason that TSR adopted it in 2e to remove the attack tables.
>>43734763
The DDA series is Basic, not 1e.
I remember MV1 being somewhat readable. That's not Invis. Ink, but it is some weird thing.
>>43734763
>>43734763
You can get the hidden text on the net from some websites.
I played MSOLO1 with a PDF, a .txt file of the hidden text, and a bash script that would only show me the entry that I asked for.
>>43734779
Noted

Oh, the names were the level range, not the edition.
>>43734832
>>43734843
Yeah, it occurred to me you might have been talking about that but I went and made a note in the file description on my end anyway, so thanks for that.

Rolled 1, 6 = 7 (2d6)

The easy way to tell is that all of them that DON'T say 'Advanced' on the cover are for Basic.

The Gobbo can totally ride a wolf/warg or something. Maybe a spider, but you know.

The green version is much better. They had a proper editor go over it, not the author's friend.
>>43734975
k. Going to go and do other stuff. Good luck, folks
>>43734992
>>43735002
K. Here's the better B3.
>>43735021
Oh cool, thanks bro
>>43735053
One last one
>>43735053
The differences between them are: The green one has maps for the gatehouses, while the orange just points where they are.
The green has all rooms fully described, while the orange one leaves some sections blank for the DM to put monsters in.
The green one collapsed the SW stairwell that's clear in the orange one.
The orange one is explicitly set in Mystara, while the green one is more generic.
I think that's all, aside from minor editing fixes.
>>43735094
All good. I'm saving both anyway. I'm not sure if I'll ever use them. In all the years that I've played DnD, I think I only ran a module two or three times. The rest of the time, I just ran with imagination. I probably should look at them at some point though. There are probably some decent ideas in there.
>>43735229
If you're partial to a bit of silliness, WG7+EX1+EX2 makes a good campaign. WG7 is 'Castle Greyhawk', but I like to think it's some podunk fort that's called itself Castle Greyhawk to attract the punters.
WGR1 - Ruins of Castle Greyhawk is a very large and complex dungeon with 26 floors across three complexes, plus cave systems and shit between them.
>>43725218
>an old-school OSR/Basic/1e hexcrawl here
That's what the grea/tg/ary cloud was but it fizzled out years ago.
>>43735397
I remember the grea/tg/ary project. Could have been cool but I guess it was tough to generate interest.
Found the proper 1e bard in OSRIC Unearthed.
