Picnicon XI

So, I went to Picnicon XI, the annual Independent's Day get together of the the Boston Gamers listserve. It started on Friday, but I was at home playing bridge with my family that day, so I went in on Saturday. I wasn't sure if I was going to go, since it was the first Saturday in quite a while I wasn't needed anywhere ( Read more... )

D&D as in the three booklets? Greyhawk and Blackmoor supplments? Hobbits and Ents? Wow.

Well, it was a 1991 edition in one hard cover, but the party was an elf, two fighters and two clerics. But I think there were some revisions.

oh - I think that is later. I think, though I'm not sure, that they went D&D, AD&D (and what they called basic D&D), various editions of AD&D, then D&D and I'm not sure what it's called now.

It was definitely basic D&D, not the 3rd or 4th editions, which still have the race/class. But... in the original 3 books, it you still needed like a 16 or higher in a stat to get any kind of bonus, right?
