I've been following Donna's cancer blog and she is an amazing woman. I'm surprised you have any time to spend on this website at all Randall.

I like idea of limiting easy spells to the lower levels. As for the BFRPG option, I have yet to try it or LL (plan on trying both eventually), but in terms of reproducing the look of the rules, on the Goblinoid Games forum someone trying to recreate the LL look in a project was told he'd need to buy a $26 font. I thought that was a bit of a shame. If BFRPG is more flexible for those producing compatible products, it sounds like a goer. Besides which, most players usually like more options.  Grin

I first started reading your post Randall and thought 'yes!' The whole spirit of the Holmes Companion was something I liked and wanted to try. Halfway through and your mention of shifting areas of chaos had my logical Virgo brain screaming 'NO!' It goes against my natural grain to not have a neat and tidy, controlled setting. But then the more I read, the more I realised the freedom this would give me as a DM, the freedom to not spend hours of time preparing the logical elements of a campaign, which the players will most likely not be interested in anyway. The whole idea would be a wonderful way for me to introduce LL to my group and so I'll be watching this space with interest.

I'm glad to see you here, David.  You are just in time for my first post on the Caves of Chaos project you were interested in when I mentioned it on the blog.

I'm glad to be here, although I feel a bit lonely being the only non-staffer to post an intro.  Smiley

David, 40 years old from Tasmania, Australia. Got the Holmes rules and B2 on my 13th birthday back in 1980, soon moved on to Basic D&D and 1st Edition, and fell in love. Played up into my early 20s before having a break for 10 years. Got back into roleplaying in my early 30s, firstly with 2nd Edition and soon afterwards 3rd Edition, both of which were ok, but my heart is back with those halcyon days of my youth.

Moved to an isolated rural area about five years ago and became good friends with the farmer up the road. He and his wife have seven children and my hopes of an instant rpg playing group were revived. Now we play 1st Edition every saturday and it gives me a buzz that a new generation has discovered the joy of roleplaying.

Recently been following the whole retro-clone movement and have found it extremely exciting and encouraging. Looking forward to trying these variants out with the group later on down the track (heavily in the middle of a new DM cutting his teeth on ToEE at the moment). Saw Randall's post on the DF forum about his new site and loved what he is doing, so here I am.  Grin
