There seems to be a trend with lots of gamers going back to 1st Edition D&D, or Labyrinth Lords. Are their any prebuilt rule sets out there? Is this even a project people are interested in?

I havent heard of anyone taking on this project. It should be easy though, there were no feats back then to modify things.

I would LOVE a 1st edition rules set, but I have no idea how to get started.

A BECMI D&D data set would be great too. Create immortals, easily.

If I was not working (or paid to do so) I could get to this as I have all the old books and I am sure that I would like my own version of Old D&D and 1st Edition D&D rules in a character builder.
While I am finding it struggling I am getting through d6 (spent about 20 hrs on it so far), and when that is complete enough to run with, I am moving on to do Babylon 5 2nd Ed and Legend of the Five Rings 4th Ed. I expect to complete it enough to run in about another 40 hrs, and then spend the same time (60 hrs) cleaning up the text and presentation. But for a starting point I would look at the Savage World examples in the Authoring Kit documentation. This is what I have used to get as far as I have and it is a good reference. |

No feats, but lots of other things made it complicated. |

Long-dead thread, but I wanted to voice my desire for datasets for BECMI, AD&D 1st Edition, and AD&D 2nd Edition. I would also appreciate an AD&D 2e Options (with all the Option books included).
Very new to Realmworks. Wondering if there's fan content available for these systems or if I have to start from sratch. Thank you for your input. |

At this point, I'm going to say don't expect or wait on me to get it done. While I did get it pretty far along, I still have a lot of things to do on it and I am not planning on sharing it with the community once its finished. While it is true that the system is a "dead" system, Hasbro still sells pdf files for it, which means its not 100% dead. I don't have an official license for that data, nor do I have permission from the publisher, so I am not planning to release it. It will be "for personal use" only at this point. Same deal with my Deathwatch 40K rpg file project. In the V20 book, White Wolf/Onyx Path has explicitly stated they do not care what software the Storyteller uses to build or print character sheets from. I have taken that as explicit permission from the publisher to work on Hero Lab data for V20. V20 page 83: "As the Storyteller, start by printing a few character sheets, copying them from the back of the book, or use your own digital character-creation method like a wiki." I am taking this as explicit permission to create a V20 Hero Lab file as it counts as a "digital character-creation method". I also have talked to Eddy Webb on a few occasions and don't feel I have anything to be concerned about as far this data work is concerned. Digital character-creation method most certainly includes Hero Lab as it is digital software. Edit: To be very clear here, my "Creating" a data file does not mean I intend to distribute the file to the community. As it sits I cannot give away my work without permission from the publishers so I won't be distributing the data files I do work on unless the parent company gives me permission. This applies to all datafiles I have created. RavenX Pronouns: She/Her Please do not PM me to inquire about datafiles I coded "for personal use" such as Exalted, World of Darkness, AD&D, or Warhammer 40K Roleplaying. I appreciate your interest, but I do not own the Intellectual Property rights to these game systems. Nor do I have permission from any of the Publishers to distribute the data files. As such, I cannot distribute the work I have done with community on these files. They are "for personal use" only. Thank you. I am far too busy these days to answer emails. If you message me here there is no guarantee I will get back to you at all. Last edited by RavenX; March 20th, 2018 at 03:29 PM. |
