How Do You Handle Rent and Other Expenses in First Edition?

Do you follow the DMG guide of a "Standard Expense" of 100gp/level/month?

Do you include rent in the above Standard Expense or charge it separately?

How much would/do you charge monthly for, say, renting a common-quality room in an Inn?

Do you require spell casters to shop for Components or is that also included in the Standard Expense?

Bonus Question: How do you handle it if a Character runs out of funds??

Time to Retire My Monk?

I think it’s about time I retire my 14th level monk. He is getting very old, and he looks it. From years of rough workouts, his hands and forearms, and even his feet are very calloused. His constitution score has plummeted and he has osteoporosis. He continues to pray and meditate 3 to 4 hours every day, hoping to open his mind to the mysteries of the universe and the spirit world. And finally, his charisma score has gone down since the evil druid put a curse on him that gave him everlasting, bad breath. In his younger years he was handsome, active, and happy. Now he is just a super calloused, fragile mystic hexed with halitosis.

Appreciate What Other Editions Do Right

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons is (thankfully) wide open to interpretation and Homebrew in some arenas. Imagination endorsed and encouraged. I think part of being a good AD&D Dungeon Master is not being afraid to incorporate some elements of what future editions got right. Maybe having a Human-Minotaur PC race is one of those elements because this meme is hilarious.

Well Hello Mr. Easely

I had a charcoal kit as a kid. Never got any good but loved playing with it. This is good stuff. Gritty and shady, just how i like my gameplay too.

Moving and Attacking

Im interested to hear how all of our DMs handle moving and attacking in a single round. Attacks other than spellcasting of course. Only communists allow moving in the same round as spellcasting.

The one minute combat round is an abstraction. It, of course, doesnt literally take a full 60 seconds to swing a sword at someone. So players are often asking to make multiple actions within a single round.

Do you allow players to move and melee attack in the same round? If so, do you limit movement? How so?

Do you allow movement and missile attack in same round? If so, how do you handle it?

Players can flee with the opponent getting a free flank attack. Then pursuit is adjudicated. Do you handle it differently? Do you allow a homebrewed "defense retreat" of some sort as an alternative to turning your back to the enemy and engaging in a full-on sprint away from the fight?

Can Exclusion be Supportive?

Nowadays it is not uncommon to see groups advertising as “an all women’s group” or ”queers only” or “christian only”. Granted, i see this more in 5e than AD&D but ive seen it in all editions. ive seen the same authors bemoan perceived intolerance and talk up the importance of inclusivity. is it more an act of supporting the historically marginalized to run All-xxxxx groups or another form of exclusion?
