I’m a thirtysomething dad and IT professional living in the Austin, TX area. I started gaming way back in the day, 1982, with the TSR space opera game Star Frontiers. Since then I've been an avid roleplayer. I went to 5 Gen Cons, was a regional Triad for the RPGA's Living Greyhawk campaign, helped start a gaming club (the FORGE) in Memphis, TN, et cetera.

I GM and play a variety of RPGs; currently Pathfinder is in heavy rotation as well as various non-D&D-based games.

comment Vast and expanded realistic combat system
One other critique of TRoS is that the combat system is very, very much written for one-on-one combat, and group-on-group combat is very hacky ("you need to break it down to one on one" is the usual advice).

comment Player-versus-player: going up against a pre-made team
@千里ちゃん the question can be reopened if you edit it to be specific enough someone could hope to answer it.

comment What's a good defense against silence?
#2 is "the silent spell feat" and #4 won't work as wands and staves are spell completion items which require verbal.

comment What are the different PC languages for 2nd edition AD&D?
Although I will note that depending on your race, there are certain prescribed choices. But if you're human, it's "whatever languages your DM says there are." Weirdly there is a bit of a shared D&D world, because if you're an elf for example the bonus languages you can pick are set to a specific list of "orc, etc..."

comment Is it possible to mix different versions of AD&D?
Please be more specific with your question. There is are many old versions of Dungeons & Dragons, and the one usually known as "original" D&D looks to not be the one you're asking about. I assume you are asking "Is it possible to mix Advanced Dungeons & Dragons First Edition and Second Edition?" from the context of your other questions. But this isn't a complete question either - the answer is "Yes." What specific advice are you looking for? Please edit your question to prevent it from being closed...

comment If I am dual-wielding, how many attacks can I make as a standard action?
Hey @RP21, appreciate the initiative, but on RPG.SE answers are expected to be specifically addressing the question asked - it's a lot less like a forum where tangential discussion is encouraged.
