Forum Overview :: Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn :: They both suck.

[quote name="Mischief Maker"][quote name="McMoo the Anti-Drug Cow"]I don't know if any of you fagg0ts are hardkore enough to be playing Pen & Paper D&D, but me and my band of nerds are revisiting our celibate teenage years and have recently resumed our 2nd ed AD&d campaign. We have 6 of the forgotten realms boxed sets (Undermountain, Undermountain II, Waterdeep, Dragon Mountain, Ruins of Myth Drannor, FR Campaign Setting). I've also managed to find about a dozen 3.5 handbooks in pdf format. (On Suprnova, but gone now) Should we stay in 2nd ed or move up to 3.5? Is there any sofware I can throw on my laptop to make things simpler? I'm using <a href="http://www.rwe-uk.com/Familiar/">this</a>, and it's pretty <i>OK</i>. Their vaunted <i>cyclopedia</i> only has basic items and no monsters. Does anybody know where i can <strike>steal</strike> get the Core Rules 2.0 and Core Rules Expansions CD's? [/quote] If you're big on the "for nostalgia's sake" gayness, I say stick with 2nd Edition. If you just want a better and quicker set of rules, use the Star Wars D6 system. Or hell, just grab a pair of 10 sided dice and just come up with a percent chance of success for everything. With all the plot-killing bitching that my groups got into over the overly complex and unrealistic AD&D rules back in the day, I figured the game would be better called "Lawyers and loopholes."[/quote]
