One of the things that was mentioned in the AD&D domains of dread hardcover book was that the DP might be jailers and that they are protecting the world from evil by locking them away in Ravenloft. That's also why if you do evil deeds and fail powers checks you loose control of your PC. That's a...

Those pictures remind me of Hero Quest. I don't know if anyone ever played that one but it was a precursour to AD&D for me. It's old school with a board, reminds me of being the DM in that game and having a complete map.

Hmmm major changes are good at bad. Means lots of learning! But it'll be worth it in the long run I suppose. I'll keep plugging away at it.

Ah, so I'll have to pick up those books as well. This always happens that the price starts going up and up.

I'll have to demand a raise at work under threat of the wrath of the dark powers.

But to sum up, a whole lot is different in the changeover between AD&D and 3E, and the same is true of the changeover between 3E and 4E. More then just the XP tables. Initiative is based on dexterity? There's no THAC0?! That's too bad, it was the best acronym ever created. You weren't kidding t...

Hmmmm well that's certainly interesting. I was glancing over the rules online. I see that you can play as a vampire half breed in version 3. That's certainly a plus. I might just look into that Fantasy Grounds more seriously then. Thanks for all the help. It's co-incidental that I would get help fro...

Madame Eva! That's excellent. Before she was beheaded I would assume. I'm thinking of waiting until I see what WotC creates before I decide which to buy, as it'll take me a few months to get up to speed anyway. But, it sounds like a great idea for people who don't live near each other and don't have...

Thanks for your help Lord Soth. I have a few more questions and clarifications. If there's a better thread to post this in please let me know. So if I wanted to use this game table from WotC when it comes out I should/would have to: -learn version 4 -wait for WotC to finish making the thing -give up...

Hello there! I'm excited to have my account activated. I'm one of these new people. I was actually looking around and found out that edition 4 is out but I have never moved beyond edition 2 because I was upset that Ravenloft wasn't part of Edition 3. I went to Wikipedia and read up on Ravenloft and ...
