I don't have an account over there.

Besides, it's about an article in Crusader, not a GG product.

Feel free to post a pointer, if you happen to have an account already.

Does Joe ever drop in over here?

Goodman's column in Issue #6

<t>I've just finished reading Joseph Goodman's "How to Write Adventures that don't Suck" in Crusader issue 6.<br/> <br/> I must admit that I expected to hate this article before I had even begun to read it. <br/> <br/> I remembered reading a very similar sort of thing in Dungeon Magazine about 15 ye...

<t>I'm actually DM'ing 1st ed with my twice-a-month group right now...<br/> <br/> There's really not much at all that I don't like.<br/> <br/> The combat matrix is a bit cumbersome. Not a game breaker, but it slows me down a bit. BAB and ascending AC is simpler to handle during play, I think (althou...

<t>Hey babbage, don't feel bad about it. We all do what works, and if that's 2E for you, there's nothing wrong with that.<br/> <br/> Like moriarty said, don't forget that the "easy conversion" works in the other direction as well. I've used some C&C modules in a 1E game and it worked out just gr...

<t>I lost an entire 1st ed collection several years back (all of the hardbacks and several modules, supplements, notes, etc.) when my basement was flooded with sewage.<br/> <br/> It was a combination of ebay purchases and donations from people who were no longer playing that allowed me to gather it ...

<t>It's seem a bit odd that they mentioned D&D by name, yet failed to mention what brand of beer he purchased, or what type of cigar. Or where he buys his jeans, for that matter.<br/> <br/> It would seem to me that the particular RPG he enjoyed would not be terribly relevant.<br/> <br/> On the o...

<t>I like the existing module covers - shiny outside, matte inside.<br/> <br/> I can't imagine that a matte outer would hold up nearly as well, would it?<br/> <br/> Blacktooth Ridge is a good example - I use it a lot and it's holding up way better than the B3 and B5 modules I'm playing at the same t...

Thanks. I was thinking of others (who might be interested in submitting LA material), actually, more than myself. But maybe soon, once we settle into the new house a bit.

Broken links for Lejendary Adventure downloads

Not sure where to send this...

On the downloads page, all of the Lejendary Adventure download links are broken.

They point (incorrectly) to a Dark Chateau PDF which does not exist.
