I love RPG's.Especially, LARP.

Dungeons and dragons is great, its what got me into roleplaying in the first place!

You know there is a forum you can roleplay on that also has a wiki for any characters you create, its really extensive and makes rping really easy. if you like roleplaying you should check it out, its where I RP

[edvill82]

most i still can't get is (i'm new, cut me a slack.lol) how do a player earn XP and how to get from this level to THAT level???? thanks for the help.

[demonjack123]

@edvill82 Well you probably already found out by now, but in the mmo version of this game you get experience by finishing a dungeon, and you have your levels and your ranks. In order to gain another level you have to gain 5 ranks. SO to get from level 1 to level 2 you have to be level 1 Rank 5 which would automatically level you to 2.

@demonjack123 thanks for the great help.

[demonjack123]

@edvill82 Np =) hope I helped.

3/3.5 all the way. No THAC0... less "complicated" rules... but still more options than this new-fangled 4.0 rubbish.

... honestly... does ANYONE like 4.0 who's played prior versions?

[TheHalomrmachinima]

I'm only 14 so I can't play I guess or I've got no one to play with

[Endlesslovekiss]

I havent played it in a while but when i did it was a fun game you get to use ur imagination and fantasy in it. Dungeons & Dragons is a cool game to me.

[TheDrkKnght1988]

just to clarify on

teeeeeveeeee314's comment i believe the hardcovers which came out were actually 2nd edition AD&D and not 1st edition? correct me if im wrong.

considering they have come out with 3, 3.5 and 4 just recently, i like AD&D the best.

[newmark2020]

There were hardcover AD&D 1ed. books as well as the hardcover 2nd ed. and subsequent editions. My favorite was 1st and 2nd edition and I use a combo of 1st and 2nd ed. rules

[ba11s0fsteel]

yeah totally i find it the most fun to read and play, i guess the newer stuff can be sort of neat as well. completely different its just less imagination basically. There are alot of pros and cons about each. i prefer the ones you mentioned as i started with them.

[barrenpaladin]

1e and 2e still are the best!

[teeeeeveeeee314]

Hi Barry! Sorry, but I have second printings of the 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons hardback books: the Player's Handbook and the Monster Manual. They came out, respectively, September, 1978 and May, 1978; not 1979. I remember getting the PH fresh when I was a freshman at West Virginia University at my local gaming store September, 1978. I can't believe AD&D has been over 30 years now, let alone the softbounds about 32-33 years now. Boy I feel old at 48!

[Oniusagi02]

this is a good guide for beginners like myself... though i wish these were numbered so i knew what order to watch them in.

[bzzmusic]

Agreed.

warhammer owns D&D
