I like games of all types and sometimes try to make them. IT Professional who likes mechanical keyboards and weird hobby electronics too much. He/Him.
OK, time to come clean. I had assumed the other old people would have this at the ready, but when the confused responses came in, I just rolled with it and now I’m bored with the joke.
This is for BECMI. The question itself is real, though, I’ve heard of better Thief progressions, and I don’t want to just top out at 14 like most people do since I never got to play with the Masters or Immortals sets and I want to try it at least once so I know how it plays.
Definitely not AD&D, I have those too and they’re much heavier books – these are more like magazines.
I should note that I have a blue one in here labeled expert rulebook. One of my players is bringing more that go with these.
I searched for the text on the box and mine is this one
https://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Basic-Rules-Set/dp/0880383380
Just the basic box set? We wanted to try playing to max level since none of us have ever actually done it.
D&D?
Not a zoomer, but I am on the youngest edge of millennial – the first computer I remember using was running Windows 95, and our first home computer was a Pentium era HP. My love for the older stuff didn’t start until I was much older.
I’ve found that it gives me a decent skeleton of something that I can then apply to my actual problem, but not much more, and it usually comes with some pretty big mistakes. I was trying to learn Z80 assembly and it gave me a good idea of how my code should generally look, but I did end up having to rewrite a whole bunch of it before I could actually execute anything.
Haha, I’ve been pulling your leg, the confused response was just too funny to ignore at first. I have a new comment that explains it.
You’re good, and yes, it is older than 2e.
