I'm well aware of the rights issues on Tegel and of the possibility of rights issues that anything that runs through the WotC/Kenzer gauntlet. I'm also aware that this is sort of a pipe dream. My...

Not sure why you say this, Skeet. HM is a fine game and is in many ways closer to D&D in spirit than 3.0, let alone 'crystal pepsi'-like 3.5. To each their own, but I'd play HM over 3.5 any day.

I don't find it silly, but to each their own. You can play it as a silly game - it certainly supports that - but I don't.1e lacks a skill system and features for character individualization (quirks,...

I'm in two minds with Hackmaster - there are good sides (honour system), and bad sides (I think the humour side is overdone). Tegel would probably work better with 1e or OD&D, but if you've...

Like Clark, if I wanted to play 1e, I'd play 1e and make my own variants.I like 3e (3.5 and AU). I very much doubt a product we cannot make into 3e (and you seem to be aware of this fact) will be made...

If you want it for HM, just run it as is. The JG "Universal System" is a snap to translate to 1E (same as HM). You dont need a conversion. I still dont get HM. I already own the old books. And the new...

I'm failing to communicate again. I guess I'll drop it. Not that there was much of an 'it' to begin with, other than the thought that TG would work better in HM than in 3.5, which I still think is...

Cali: I think the problem I have is that the DM I have/had for HM was into the parody, so we had that. He didnt play a lot of 1e, so was trying to ride the new wave rather than go to honest to...

Col Hardisson posted an eye-opening piece (for me anyway) over on Kenzer's HM boards about the whole parody-/KODT-side of HM. The post is at www.kenzerco.com/forums/s...o=&fpart=1His basic premise...

I love the good Colonel (and he knows it), but that is a bit of after the fact justification. Read the boards and you see people actually claiming it is a "new game" and supporting it for those...

1) The Col.'s 'play within a play' thing is one way to play HM, and it's a fun one. There's a guy who ran a satire PBP game called "One Die to Rule them All" that emphasized this aspect very well.2)...

Hey Cali---Next time you're out in CA for an extended visit, perhaps we could gather to play the HM B1 or somesuch. I'd be willing to give HM a fair shake of the dice, so to speak grodog----Allan...

I've been making it a point not to discuss HM outside of Kenzer's boards, or at Dragonsfoot. The game seems to polarize people too much. Hell, it polarizes people even at those forums, too. But, since...
