As someone mentioned earlier, why would anyone want to pay near twice as much for something they've already got?

yeah, why would anyone buy RJK's Maure Castle themed copies of DUNGEON when they already have mordenkainens fantastic adventure

oh wait whoops

<t>Every problem I've ever run in to with Windows can be attributed to one of two things: bad software (programs or drivers), or bad hardware. Windows doesn't just "do things" for no reason. Now, have there been kernels that were more picky about what you could and couldn't do to them? Sure enough. ...

<t>AD&D, Original D&D, Champions/HERO System (the 5th edition pretty much owns), hm. Gotta love C&C for keepin' on and being the reason I got to know Gary a little and got my work "out there".<br/> <br/> Strangely enough it's also why I'm an IT magazine columnist, but that's another stor...

I feel terrible that the missus and I couldn't make it. I don't suppose it's too late to send a card...?

Hmm...that'd have to be Mekton MTS. Still have the rulebook(s), still have the occasional itch to build the MAC-II Monster from Macross, etc. with it (on paper, clearly). Playing it is a real let-down though.

I have some home-grown modules set in that very locale if you're interested...they're up on my 'site.

How about "The Smug Pr-cks" - the trollish little twerps who figure they've got everything sorted out and run around slapping labels on everyone they figure falls into some idealized little categories.

<t>Everything that they've held up as an example of "4th ed play" or "4th ed rules revision" is wholly unappetizing. All of this "No, you can't say that without trying it first...!" WTF is that about. I don't have to have a heaping fork full of elephant dung to know it probably isn't going to be num...

<t>I for one never cared for the game. The humor struck me as tedious, vapid and ultimately distracting. What might have been an entirely workable revamp of AD&D and an opportunity to see new AD&D products being released wound up being this annoying MAD Magazine like version of it instead. S...

I can't speak for those, but Elemental Moon by Lance Hawvermale and Andy Luke Crossness? 1e style GOLD.

Wrong.

HackMaster gives more HP than those creatures have, so it cannot be for them. You forgot about the "kicker."

So, the correct answer was "almost all of these."

Wrong right back at you. It can be for hackmaster.

So the correct answer is "all of these".

Here's a funny thing: creating "dual stat" modules (and I'm just talking within the realm of D&D here) is...actually, entirely effortless. Attend: Quote: 10. Orc Barracks Some twelve orcs (HP: 7 (x4), 5 (x3), 4 (x3), 3 (x2)) lounge about this filthy cave. They have nothing of value, save a pile of 2...

No official multiclassing system, positive AC, slow release of carefully hand-crafted adventure and campaign world information

I should point out that unless they are edited out, there are multi-class options presented in Teeth of the Barkash Nour so as to allow the original tournament characters to be used.

Nah, those guys were stone trolls.
