It really does, simrion . I'd be happy to hear more about how the crossover goes. If anyone REALLY wants the inside scoop you should swing over to Dragonsfoot (assuming you're a member) and search for the thread started by Willmark. As a player I've been forbidden from viewing the thread...

I'm digging this. I think I may order the standard version of Metamorphosis Alpha that I hope is still available...

The Semi-Retired Gamer, In My Opinion, if you're getting the 1st Ed. rules PDF is the way to go. Print versions use a Tiny FONT. Think nearly unreadable. Example: Print versions use a Tiny FONT.And that's if they increased the font for modern production. Not a joke.

I was actually wondering about that because I thought that's how it was from my memory. Thanks for the heads up oldskolgmr.

A friend has been running MA for a few months now, mainly because I threw down the gauntlet and challenged him to do so LOL. Been lots of fun so far. In lieu of XP and levels and Experience we've been accumulating some powerful technology. Now we're doing a little bit of AD&D crossover with the arrival of some adventures from one of my campaigns from over 20 years ago! My friend is very creative and a little ego maniacal which just adds to the fun and challenge. What! No picture of the gauntlet?

If at some point, he lets you read the thread, IMO there is nothing that you could not have been given as starting info. Since IMO you were born into and grew up in that world as a character.

Love my GM dearly but he's, for want of a better description, a "micro-manager." I'll let him have his "fun..."

As long as you are also having fun.

You burn the town and kill everyone. A few days later, well there were survivors returning to town who saw you and what was happening, they hid in the brush and you are now outlaws and every man's hand is against you, the King has placed a large bounty on your heads. If possible he wants you returned alive so that he can make an example of you. Well Vladimir, The Dark Prince , I think I'm going to spin this into another thread, in a different section of the forum, soon. Have an exalt, go for it.

What! No picture of the gauntlet? simrion , he's right, lets see that gauntlet. Regrettably I don't believe our party has even encountered it yet. So far my character is a clone of the long perished third officer of the starship. My companions are a former mutated racoon, since changed to human due to our meeting an AD&D party aboard the ship. apparently he was originally a passenger who was mutated to an animal after the ill fated radiation event 200+ years past. There is another pure strain human, an original passenger awakened from stasis, a mutant humanoid we picked up in a bio habitat and a PC Robot. We're questing to find a "command ring" then we have to awaken the second office who is in statis to prevent near immediate death from radiation poisoning and having two command staff she can imbue me with the ship permissions of Captain. We saw the Captain's skeletal remains through a view port in the indestructable blast doors leading to the command nacelle. On top of everything else there are numerous AIs on the ship all in conflict. No gauntlet to date and I vowed not to read my friend's thread at DF so no spoilers!

Oh and we've encountered zombies and mind flayers so far among the more "normal?" denizens of the starship...

That thread is not very long and I don't think we have any spoilers to give you at all. But love to find out where this game goes.

The only gauntlet I can think of might be something I appropriated from Eric Lustbader's Sunset Warrior series. The main character ended up with a six fingered glove of indestructable demon hide. I believe one of the AD&D party members found it a s treasure and used it overcome some nasty "digit dicer" traps in the Grimtooth's Traps Dungeon of Doom. I'll provide further game updates as I can :-)
