'lo, out there. Since yesterday in the evening I am new to this list. My name is Fred Krug. I am quite new to roleplaying games having played them, especially AD&D 2E and AD&D Options, for ten years now and mastered them for nine years. I have collected many experiences in AD&D, SR and CoC and some of the World of Darkness games. And right now I am DMing D&D in two different groups. It is a pleasure for me to join this list and I'm looking forward to exchanges with this list. Now, here is something to think about: How useful would it be to convert the speedfactors from AD&D on the D&D 3E system? I often listened to D&D gamers arguing that so many different weapons existed which did not have any effect on the individual initiative by the rules of D&D. In AD&D this was highly interesting, for the speedfactors of the weapons were able to change a lot in the moments when to act. Thereby the rules about the speedfactors were optional. In D&D we have only one 'intiative check' right at the start of an encounter in which the speedfactors of weapons would only work one time in a whole. So: Would it be wise or useful to enter the speedfactors (somehow) from AD&D to D&D?
