Played LBB OD&D for the first time last night!
Played LBB OD&D for the first time last night! Our regular AD&D DM was unavailable so one member of our group ran an OD&D one-shot through Tegel Manor with mid level characters. He used just the 3 LBBs with Chainmail combat and JG Ready Ref sheets. We listened to time period appropriate music: Hawkwind, Genesis, Kraftwerk and Gentle Giant. The party met many strange and deadly encounters around, under and in the haunted manor. Fun.

This is EXACTLY what I mean when I say "OSR."
ReplyDeleteJeff Rients We left with the characters still in the Manor at the end. The DM suggested today we roll on your "Triple Secret Random Dungeon Fate Chart of Very Probably Doom" to find out what happened to them.
ReplyDeleteSweet! I hope they all suffer grisly fates, except for one to escape to tell the tale.
ReplyDeleteHere is the party from the session write-up by the DM:
ReplyDeleteClark, C5
Majic Ooser, MU3, his henchman
(these two were mine. I have a fondness for generic names for characters ala Melf - my AD&D character for the last three years has been a half-orc named Horq).
Florian, an Elf 4/5
Wesley (deceased), F3, his companion
(killed by a non-standard slithering tracker)
Woe, F5,
Chervil, C4, her henchman
Duncan, D3 (was 4) (drained by a wight)
and Talisen, MU3, his companion
DM started us with 2d6 on the man-to-man table but then switched to d20 b/c he was having trouble deciding what weapons monsters would be equivalent to. He gave everyone (monsters & characters) one attack per HD! Fun for my cleric to roll 4 d20s at once.
ReplyDeleteOne attack per HD is Arnesonian. Me like!
ReplyDeleteHow does chainmail combat work exactly? I've never quite wrapped my head around it.

ReplyDeleteI love the music selections, Prog-tastic!
