Thanks folks for the warm welcome. My replies in order of who replied to me. TPD: Thanks for the invite and continuing our conversation today. The Semi-Retired Gamer: As soon as the AD&D 2E area is set up I'll post about it. Morose: My clone is Damsels, Adventurers, and Dragons. I added ship combat to the combat rules. Pretty much everything is unchanged from AD&D 2E. There is no sense in fixing something that isn't broken. Admin Pete: Thank ya for that. Greetings @jamesdixon, welcome!

Welcome to @jamesdixon . An AD&D clone, 2E at that. Wondering what you include and what you don't. Particularly in regards to combat. I second that! I mostly skipped 2E but it was late in my high school years and my playing group all joined the Army and scattered to the winds.

Welcome to our newest member dervish . I too would like to hear more about that wild search engine and your background, if you are willing to share it. I was trying to find out what had happened to one of the writers, is all, and the search pointed me here. It's only wild in the sense that it brought me someplace I hadn't heard of - and one that actually seemed to be seriously interested in what had happened with Warlock. Since I didn't see people just laughing and pointing at rocket scientists' RPG, I was eager to add a bit in the hopes some of the original writers might still be reading. As for me, the Caltech gamers were my introduction to role-playing games, back in 1977. 1987 I left Pasadena for the Silicon Valley (after playing many different games of that era). It was close to 10 years before I found another group that I could play with, so I got my gaming fix with play by (postal) mail and MUSH gaming - where I discovered the World of Darkness. A little of everything! One, us old farts need to stick together. Two, I would also love to hear some history and background on Warlock!

We have been getting a lot of spammers of late and it is really hard to tell if they are a spammer or not beforehand. So early posts will be closely watched by Staff and dealt with when we see it. If you check "Newest posts when you log in and see spam, please use the report button under the Gear Wheel on the right hand side of each post.
Thank you!

This September it'll have been nine years since I registered on this board. Wow. A significant part of my life. Yes, I've had long dormant periods, but still, this board has been part of my life for a good while. Would love to see my daughter make an account someday. She may not be into all my interests and I am okay with that, but then again, she may be into some of them.

Hello!
I came across this forum googling around about OD&D, I've known about it for a while but for some reason just hadn't gotten to signing up till now. I've been very interested in OD&D from a play and historical perspective since about 2009. My first exposure to D&D was through the old Icewind Dale PC games, I got the first one in 6th grade. The manual for the game contained the very bare bones of AD&D 2nd and I expanded it (poorly) enough to play ad hoc sessions during school lunch with some friends. A few years later a friend introduced me to 3rd edition, and I played for a few years. Later on, I got interested in the history of the game and found OD&D and never looked back.
I also do a bit of wargaming. Warhammer 40k (particularly the original Rogue Trader edition) and some homemade historical rules for various periods.
From time to time, I post on the OD&D Proboards under the same handle.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
