Because I generally don't run published adventures, I don't care about them as genre definers. Adventure writers are beholden to the widest possible audience and therefore usually default to D&D nonsense even when writing for other games. I remember one developer I worked for having to fire a...

They absolutely killed 2 monster books for a new one. I can't see any reason they would not "re-issue" the splats as a new book.

Themes and genres evolve and its seems a waste to only consider the early work "pure."

I dropped the real time torch timer almost immediately. i understand that it solves a problem some people have, but I did not have that problem so it was more of a PITA and intrusion than it was worth. I also dropped always on initiative early, too, mostly because I felt like that actually...
