OD&D Forum Archive

[verhaden]

Almost a decade ago (!?) I think I tried scraping this forum, and grabbed a good chunk of it. I've since lost that backup to a hard drive failure. I'd like to try again, but I'm a little more cautious know about ProBoard's TOS.

Anyway, I thought instead of a mass grab, we could all post links to threads we've found interesting or useful other the years. After a month or so, I could compile the certain % of the threads into a little netbook that captures at least part of the board's spirit. Thoughts?

The following is by no means definitive, but it's a start:

What is the purpose of a helmet?

This is a huge project and a good idea.

I'll try to gather stuff as it comes to me.

There are threads on light that are good. On poison.

There were ones on particular spells that helped me, like the various kinds of light spells and also magic jar, which is weird and hard to interpret.

There are a lot of good threads on monsters, like the ones that compile lists and resources.

Fun threads on compiling wildernesses and using the OS board for the wilderness.

Again, I'll try, bit by bit. To share links.

Fight on!

In theory ... you could grab a sub board at a time. Not that I'm suggesting anything against TOS....
