The Hell articles and Seapoint were great. In the days before "Dungeon" magazine, having a module appear in an issue of Dragon was always the highlight of the issue for me. Seapoint was a good adventure, but even the bad adventures could be modified and used.

Seems strange that Hasbro says in the piece that they are "expanding" the division that makes MTG (without saying Wizards of the Coast by name) given that the December layoffs included WotC people as well as the rest of the company. Maybe they are going to do an about-face and expand the D&D...

Wow, I had no idea Goodman's WotC license for TSR reprints/conversions had ended. I'm glad I got the first six OAR volumes before they were discontinued. I guess that explains why OAR7 is "Dark Tower" (Judges Guild reprint/conversion) and OAR8 is Grimtooth's Traps instead of more of the...

I also STRONGLY prefer physical books for various reasons that I won't elaborate on here. But it's also nice to have a pdf copy of the book for portability and for searching. If you want to find all references of a specific term, I've found that the pdf search function is generally (but not...

One room per session!!! Yikes --- It'd probably take them a couple of hundred years to explore Undermountain. I remember the old description of Tenser's Floating Disk said that Tenser developed it because he was so greedy he couldn't stand to leave behind a single copper piece (I miss the...

I think I get where you're coming from. As for myself, I don't mind the occasional crossover between DnD worlds, but I prefer it to be a very rare thing. In a way, it sort of cheapens the specific flavor of each individual cosmology when you continually pop from Krynn to Oerth to Toril to...

Not sure what "OG" novel deal is. I assume maybe it's a misprint and you mean EG deal for Ed Greenwood perhaps. Anyway, big world-changing events are something that shouldn't happen all the time, obviously. Ed Greenwood once said that you can do that one time in a campaign world, and that's...

Ma Maybe when the stores were in the process of switching distributors that particular item somehow slipped through the cracks.

That's good to hear. I hadn't been able to find The Deck of Many Things at either bookstores' website in the past, but now I see that it is finally listed at Books-A-Million (although shown as currently not in stock), but I still haven't been able to find a listing for the Deck on Barnes &...

I've never even seen a book with four ribbon bookmarks before. And all that foil to boot. This doesn't sound like something that's going to be available at most FSGS and it looks like WotC isn't distributing their product to Books-A-Million or Barnes & Noble anymore, so it's going to be...

Little Caesars may not exactly be gourmet food, but at least you can still get a large pizza there for just seven bucks.

Could someone please explain to me why he has both his hands in the illustration. I haven't read the previously-published Vecna adventures, so did he somehow regain his eyeball and his hand and then reattach them in one of those modules? Or maybe regrow new ones somehow?

You mention T1 and N1. I think T1 should remain a part of T1-4, as it works best that way, but N1 is an excellent choice. I consider it one of the best 1e adventure modules. I would also like to see UK3: The Gauntlet updated and reprinted. Although it never received much acclaim, I've...

My own preference is "5.0e" for the original rules, "5.5e" for the revised rules, and "5e" if you're referring to 5th edition as a whole.

A draw like that will teach them there PCs not to stick their little wet noses into things best left alone!
