At the moment, having just spent some time creating an old character from scratch with the Beta rules, I don't think the skill points need changing at this point. I'll save further commentary for the appropriate place and time.

I have my hard copy of the Beta rules and will be going over them intensely for the next several days. Outstanding job thus far!

Nisia

As another who started with the inception of D&D all those years ago, I have to agree here. Pretty much my own thoughts, yep.

Nisia

Nisia,

Were you DMing when the "Greyhawk Wars" were published? If so, how did you incorporate them into your campaign?

I simply modified to fit MGC, discarding things I didn't like, changing some things, and sometimes adding stuff in that I made up myself. I very rarely use any published material raw, that is, unchanged. Old school DM here..the world I run is my world and I'll run it my way. LOL

Nisia

Welmet and welcome, Nisia !

My turn :
My nickname comes from one of my D&D3.5 characters, an elf rogue in an Eberron campaign.
I happen to be french (sorry for that), exiled in the United States.
I live in New York, with my wife and my 2 years old son, which i plan to convert both into D&D one day.
I am playing D&D since 1981, and DMing for quite as long in a persistant game world.

I rather like the French actually.

I like the name too.

Well met!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

For the New Englanders; We rock. I live in Sunderland at the moment, but my home was in Heath...rather near the Vermont border, although I wound up going to Junior High and High School in Springfield. *sigh*

So far I like what I see, both here and in the Alpha 3 version of the game release.

I believe I'll stay a while. *nabs cookies*

Heya, Nisia.

Let me ask: keeping a Greyhawk campaign going during some periods would have been hard work. What made you decide to keep with the Flaeness, rather than jumping to more fertile ground in Toril or Mystrara?

I started with Greyhawk in the OD&D world in '74/'75. I always liked its aspect of mystery, who knows who, the oddly tilted relationship to the real world and so on.

I liked Forgotten Realms, well, the maps anyway. FR has the best place-names going IMO, but I never really liked how it developed.

Mystara simply didn't appeal.

Now Al Quadim I really liked, even though it was on Toril. I used aspects of it for the Baklunish Northwest on Oerth. On the whole, I simply made stuff up; I've never really liked having everything handed to me fully developed on a platter so the lack of official material was more help than hindrance.

Mostly though, I simply love Oerth.

Well, I didn't see where else to put it so this will serve as my intro/first comment on the boards.

I go by Nisia, an anagram of my real name in fine Greyhawk tradition, which world I played in from the 70's until pretty recently. I was once a WizO with WotC, a few years ago in fact.

I live in Massachusetts, Sunderland to be more precise, with my family and my cat. I'm 52 next month.

I've got the Pathfinder Alpha 3 download and initial reading of it is promising so I'm delving more deeply into that. I dislike what I've seen/heard of 4e so I will not go there.

In any event, I am happy to be here. I look forward to learning a lot from folk, perhaps even contributing something now and then. I'm likely to be found in the Pathfinder sections after this one.

If this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move it, delete it or what have you. :)
