My first thing is that when using OD&D monster tables, I modify the d6 level roll by "-1" because I think they're too harsh at the first levels. <br /><br />Appendix A, Table III: Cut 9-10, 9-13 is passage "T"'s, 16-20 four-way intersection, cut 20. Table III.A: 1: 5', 2-19: 10', 20: 20' (1-in-6 go to III.B). Table V: 1-8 Empty, 9-10 Monster only, 11-15 Monster & treasure, 16 Special/stairway, 17-19 Trick/trap, 20 Treasure. Table VII: 9-11 Elevators, 5-in-6 become passage blocked by falling bars (1 day). <br /><br />In short: (a) I cut about half of the 45-degree passages, (b) normalized passages so only rarely do you get the huge widths, and (c) changed contents to be more in line with other books and not be 60% empty rooms.Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-42709056935556950582014-05-08T23:34:42.255-04:002014-05-08T23:34:42.255-04:00Don't know if you'll see this, but I'v...Don't know if you'll see this, but I've been doing quite a bit of Appendix A stuff recently, and I am curious if you ever wrote down or spreadsheeted your modifications to the tables - starting to come up with some myself right now, would be interested to see what changes you might have made.gdbackushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245941451462450346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-74301181457168834482010-09-20T16:45:45.821-04:002010-09-20T16:45:45.821-04:00ouch, this brings back so many 1e memories. i'...ouch, this brings back so many 1e memories. i've no idea how any 1st level magic-users or illusionists ever survived to 2nd!theredtablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610744970137848825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-81028674708374161312010-09-08T16:37:54.932-04:002010-09-08T16:37:54.932-04:00@JD: So now there's two of us!
