OT: am playing D&D light and am having fun

[Loser]

Which publication of Ars Magica do you favor, Erax?

That title has been passed around like an easy ugly girl.

well, me and my brother have decided we like the light Version. unfortunatly, it doesn't contain any information on how to roll up your own character's or advance farther than level 2 and refer's you to the player's handbook for those. so, i guess i'll be looking for that. i figure once the simplified rules get easy, we'll move onto the hard one's.

thanks to all the people who replied.

The rules in the Player's Handbook are not that complicated. There are just a lot. Just follow the book chapter by chapter to create a character; everything is presented in the only logical order to make your character (as some things HAVE to be done before others, naturally).

you can try the sparrow method - try playing AD&D straight away. I find AD&D more attractive than either 2nd or 3rd editions.

'sparrow method'?

and on a side not, it looks like the soonest i'm going to get that player handbook is next week.

I don't know about that... the AD&D rules were rather rough and had a lot of silly things in them... like the psionics system. Though, I still haven't decided whether 2nd edition or 3rd edition is the better of the pair... I do have a lot of 2nd edition books and no inclination to shovel out 400+ dollars to buy all of the 3rd edition equivalents...

"Sparrow Method - a strong kick out of the nest". As for your comment fyron, i cant realy say - i just realized i dont know ALL core AD&D rules, in my current campaign the DM is quite flexible so i might "missing" some of the worse stuff.
