I'm tried of cover band references and comparsions to new coke in game reviews.

At least he called Mr. Ward a bright 13 year old and he liked the art.

I don't remember Elric having a golf bag of magic weapons .

Nice roll on the type A treasure list for Terry.

Oh I bet they pocketed one or two before showing them to the gov

Nah just the magic items.

Nice Link.

Quote: Hey Jim, I've heard this quite a bit from you, Gary and the crew; but I'm curious what do you think would have happened to D&D had this kid not done this. Were the sales on a trajectory? or was it definitely because of this kid's goofy road trip? Steve I've often wondered about this as w...

<t>I used Eastmark for my last (and perhaps my next)campaign, only had a vague outline of the world outside that small region. Planned on borrowing ideas from most of the list and from Blackmoor and Wilderlands as well. <br/> <br/> I would like to run and/or playin a Wilderlands of High Fantasy camp...

Quote: The question I have to ask...is how many of those already part of the hobby have been alienated by this 'change of focus' and do the number of new gamers as such balance out against those lost. Given the state of today's youth, the economy, and the prices to 'get into this new game'...my gue...

Well, for magic items, see page 89 of the (4th print) M&T.

4th print, man I don't even have the third printing yet.

Lord Dynel wrote: Tree, I'm not doubting you had any concerns. I was just wondering what you saw that made you skittish. I'm mulling it over, especially since a copy of the old Chaosium/Midkemia Cities supplement currently escapes me... That pdf look nice but kindy pricy. The old Cities supplement ...

I think, with a push into cheaper and more attractive miniatures, D&D could battle Warhammer for supremacy. What that says about it as a RPG, I'll leave you to decide.

I agree, I think it is a miniatures version of an online game like WoW or EQ.

Just max damage on "20".

Many of the people talking about "old school"(I don't mean hip hop) weren't around either. Playing D&D then AD&D was great c'75 to '81.
Nice Dwarf Fortress article too , good start

I sold on for 85 bucks in '05 but was probalbly in better condition. and so was the economy. That ebay auction will give you a good idea.

<t>I've been reading Empire of the Petal Throne, the Different Worlds reprint from the '80's. Forgot I even had this book. This game was very similar to D&D. The game had rule for double damage on a "natural 20" .<br/> <br/> Also the player could roll again and if a 19 or 20 is thrown the result...

If a pint sized halfling knight on a wardog doesn't inspire and embolden the party, what will. And that wardog will be more useful in underground dungeons.

Aslan C you have some cool maps there, and

Okay probably more than you wanted to know, but it just sort of popped out

Please feel free to share any details of your campaign world

Quote: Maybe I'm weird, but in my AD&D days, I never considered the Deities & Demigods book that essential. I used it very little. I never found it that essential either, in fact I gave the book to a friend in college. I bought another copy in a lot of used stuff from a yard sale. I sold th...

The authors match my copy in that Amazon listing. The soon to be released status seems somewhat dubious.

Nice looking book, never played it. Should sell it to tree, but I hoard this kind stuff.

If i won the lottery for $100m+ I wouldn't pay that much or even close.

My badly beaten 4th printing would still be good enough for me.

I check Gygax forums once or twice a month. No news = not good news in my book. I took a mighty oath that I will not post there again until the is some real news, but I was tempted today. serleran wrote: love the thread title: Not to bring up a sore subject, but[t]... heh.

I started a campaign write up but after circumstances (economic mostly, like people moving away for work )have put that game on hold, lost my enthusiasm. That and I didn't care for my write up . I will try to write up the other sessions when I'm less tried. I was using CZ:UW with the Yggsburgh setti...

Mine is an ill fated OD&D character I rolled in '77. Using 3d6 in order he had 18/00 STR, 14 INT, 11 WIS, 17 CON, 16 DEX, 15 CHA. He rolled a 3 for mone y however so he started with 30gp. He died in the Wilderlands a victim of a random kobold encounter, it was what we know call a TPK.

Trolls should not twitter

I'm looking foward to Siege Engine breakdown and the NPC rules. The World Above and The World Below sounds interesting as well.

I like the Green Ronin stuff but I still prefer the old Chaosium boxed set. The 3e-ish nature of the newer stuff doesn't work for me.

Sanctuary is such a lovely community.
I thought about using the severe injury rules with a C&C/CastleZagyg game because I'm mean.
