Well, your thread didn't die a horrible death like you thought it would. See there are more gamers here than you thought.
I used to be involved in an ongoing AD&D campaign. We created our own world, and each player had their own country to develop and maintain. Each of the players also learned to DM, so each quest would be run by a new DM. Usually we used our turn to DM to develop a particular part of our country.
Each quest would usually run several weeks, we met once a week and rarely could one quest be accomplished in one several hour evening.
This was back in the 1st edition rules, where melee was quite complicated and slow. I've only played a few times with the second edition on pen and paper. But I got involved with an online graphical game called NeverWinter that AOL used to host. Unfortunately that game closed down 5 years ago. It was an AD&D based game with all the same rules, 2nd edition. Owned by TSR, like most of the handbooks and manuels are published by. It is part of the Forgotten Realms developed by then as well.
However, I used my same characters I had developed during my first campaign. My original character, a female Paladin named Nicole, joined a guild called Knights of the Order (KTO) and eventually became guild leader. (Her paladin qualities and her personal charmed got her elected.) My second character, Demetria, a cleric, joined another guild there, called Servants of Mystra (SOM) and that guild is still together to this day. If you've read the Avatar Trilogy published by TSR, you've read about the goddess Mystra. She was a goddess of magic.
I haven't had the computer to handle the new graphical games, but they have been adventuring in places like EQ, UO, and some others.
But they are part of a team of people that is resurrecting NeverWinter. It's in its Beta testing now. My email is flooded with banter between them (a SOM list I am on) discussing all the places that are familiar to me in the old NeverWinter game.
I've never gamed on a board before, at least not my D&D characters. I've played on the SRP and ORP here a bit, but I've never gotten involved in a full blown campaign.
Gee, was that enough information? Didn't mean to carry on so, but I miss my gaming. I'd be playing NeverWinter instead of here so much if my computer could handle it, or I could afford a new one.

Hopefully you'll get to play again soon Moonwolf. You might also like to get to try 3e sometime. It brought a lot of really cool innovations to the game in my opinion.
That idea sounds really cool. I'm going to have to try it sometime.

I just bought the 3rd edition players handbook, and my roommate has the DM guide. I don't have any monster manuals for 3rd, only two in first. I wouldn't be able to design a quest without those...!
I still, of course, have my original 1st edition players handbook, and DM guide. I also have a paladin, elf and wizard book for 2nd.
I used to have leds for all my characters, as well as all the dice, of course. (what's a player without her dice?)
Can you tell I used to be really into it? I almost have a complete library.....lol

Nicole, my paladin by the way, is pretty humble. I developed her in one campaign I was involved in, and wanted to transfer her to the new realm. The more experienced DM at the time, said I could do that if I figured a way to get her over to our dimension. So I made her a captive of Orcus, and though she wasn't the focus of the rescue, her rescue was a side effect. That way I didn't have to re-roll her from scratch.
The experience humbled her quite a bit.

Well, since I was in a campaign, we shared a lot of the books. Most didn't have a DM guide, and would borrow someones. Made the expense a little less. Everyone had their own Players book, but for a lot of books we wanted, different people bought different books, and loaned them to whoever was the DM that needed them.
I'd probably enjoy your collection.

oh, and i don't care what you people OR WotC say, the following weapons CAN be Finessed:
scimitar
saber
katana
the scimitar and the saber were designed with dexterity in mind (they slice, not hack) and having some training in wielding a katana, i know the fighting styles and attacks one employs while using them is based soley on speed and accuracy.
so piss off, you, when you complain about my standard choice of feats.
i also say you should get that extra attack on partial attacks when dual wielding once the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting feat is learned by your character. it makes it a little better balanced.
