Which system do you use to resolve OD&D combat?

[Crimhthan The Great]

Which system do you use to resolve OD&D combat and why do you prefer that system? If you do not exclusively use one method you can vote for up to three.

1. Castles & Crusades' Siege (variant of 3.5/0.0)
2. Tunnels & Trolls/Traveller system (based on attributes and skills)
3. Feke it. This involves so many factors, but mainly the two of (a) How well is it role played and/or (b) How much does it entertain me.

I have gone back to Book 1 because it's easy but, most importantly, FAST!

I love Book One - it caused me to use Method #3 for my first game. Everyone died, but everyone loved it.

Well, almost everyone died. Our sneaky 4-year old daughter got away, and with all our loot. She had immediately caught on to the idea that this was a game in which she could legally cheat. The brat. I am not sure it would have worked out using later "rules-bound" rules.

I answered ACS from the lbbs, but sometimes I use the variable weapon damage from Greyhawk, but I've never used the Weapon vs. AC chart in there, so I can't fully answer Supplement 1.

I use Delta's "Target 20" based upon HD.

Success is 20+ when D20+HD+target AC

I give HD advancement like this

FM: lvl = HD
CL: 3:2
MU: 2:1

Works like a charm every time.

I give monsters a generic bonus to match up more with the LLBs.

Try it sometime. It is rad.

I have tried all of the other methods(except the last two) from time to time, but I also always go back to Book 1 for the same reason, easy and FAST!

[True Black Raven]

I use the main one (called Alternate) from Book 1.

[Yaleric]

Alternate combat, Book I Men & Magic.

Same for me.

[Ibizan Zamway]

I use the "alternate system," which is really the primary system. 

[clooney]

I use the Alternate system and some of the stuff in Supplements 1 and 2.

[Q. F o s t e r]

Option 2 for me.

[Snuffy Smith]

The best option is the second option.

[nobody]

Option 2

[Kujik]

The second choice is my first choice.

[The Man From Coventry]

I use the standard (aka Alternate) Rules.

[Morose]

Option 2

[Bartholmew Quarrels]

Option two is what I have always used.
