<t>So what do you guys think will happen to the next edition of D&D? Will they choose to return to a simpler game design like 1e or Basic? I'm sure that's not likely if WoTC hangs onto the brand as the miniature-centric style of play will likely be pushed to give them something else to sell (not...

<t>Well good hunting. That's just the best I've seen for good clean copies of those too since I started looking about month ago. I feel the same as you though when I eye some of the prices which some of the 2e stuff fetches. "Somebody bought the Arms & Equipment guide and a DMG for $40? I've got...

*sniff*I still like THAC0.

And clearing his castle was fun too.

There's an interview with Elmore that's a part of the "Dungeons & Dragons Experience" documentary that's up on YouTube, and he goes into the change at TSR towards more "professional" art.

Hear hear! Elmore and Easley were my inspiration back in the day. Course, they still are in large part.

I definitely love the Easley stuff. In fact his 2e DMG cover is my cell phone's wallpaper. When I think of D&D art, Easley is the first one to come to my mind.

Same here. I just thought something was wrong since I can't see the dang picture in the "Ouch!" thread either.

Hmmm, and then set up my screen on the other side? This has potential.

As I've said before...your screen, Traveller, looks great on the inside of my 2nd edition DM's screen. 8)

<t>One of my friends who has been playing in my C&C game is an old 2e'er (much like myself) and he has mentioned playing a 2e session just for the fun and nostalgia of it. Plus, he does have a lot of good 2e material (it converts easy I know, but he hasn't yet fully made the jump to C&C and ...

The screen should be out by christmass. Some fussy artist is polishing up final changes right now. ^_~`

Fantastic! Traveller, I do love your screen and it has found itself paper-clipped to my old 2nd edition DM's screen.

Could you phrase that in the form of a "challenge level?"

<t>Funny...I've actually been looking into finding some plastic mini's or just using the aforementioned green army men. I've never been a miniatures fan, but after last weekend's game I figured that at least some type of "spatial relation representation" would be nice for once. I wouldn't plan on us...

<t>I'm gonna have to agree with Robo on that one. I DM'ed my first full fledge C&C game Saturday night and we had a blast! Never mind the fact that we didn't even pay attention to all of the rules since it was a few players' first time playing an RPG period. One guy, playing a bard, decided he w...
