F is for Fighting...because of course it is. Whether you're talking fangs, fisticuffs, or flashing blades, combat and battle is a deeply ingrained part of the AD&D experience.
But it's super late tonight, and this is the first chance I've had to write today (I'm currently on vacation with the family, and it's my 25th wedding anniversary to boot).
So instead of writing 10,000 words on the subject I will link you to my earlier post on how I run AD&D combat. Of course, it would also be helpful to understand the literary basis of the game's combat assumptions and expectations. And, for the truly content starved reader, may I direct you to this other post on how to run initiative in the AD&D game.
Apologies for being lazy, but it's been a long, full day, and it's time to hit the hay. Till tomorrow!
: )
F for "Foning it in?" :)
ReplyDeleteI am giving you unnecessary grief, especially since the posts you linked are more than acceptable substitutes.
Haha! Definitely "foning it in!"

I'm definitely in that bucket of content starved folks. I read pretty much everything you put out (and am steadily working through your backlog), since even though I don't run AD&D, the underlying philosophy of how a CAG runs is similar enough that your stuff is usually thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you can find something useful in it!
DeleteThis a nice short post, nice because it is reinforced by some really good posts you made in the past. I am still digesting it all.
