As a follow up to this thread When did you start greyhawk? when did you stop using Greyhawk? I started middle 80's but gave it up pretty quickly when DM created homebrew. He would just take some published adventures, and place them in his world.

Well that just sucks!! I just renewed my 2 year subscription a couple of months ago. It must be hard for print mags to make a profit anymore.

Not what I was planning, but a cool effect none the less. The main reason for the poll was to see if the 2nd Grognards turned into 3.x Grognards after they actually checked it out. With all the ranting about 4th coming out, just wanted to see if people would actually give it a chance when it...

For months we have been hearing that if the sales for the new Greyhawk Expidition book were good, then they might produce more. Then about 2 weeks after its release, they announce 4E? Coincidence or conspiracy?

For me personally, no, I wouldn't buy it. But being a Dragonlance fan, I know how much a "dead world" means to people. So if it would make some Greyhawk fans happy, then sure.

With all the Love/Hate for 3.5 and 4th going around, I was just wondering were you upset when 3.0 was announced and are you glad now that you made the switch and why? Are these the same feelings that you have with 4E announced?

oops

Seriously, what products are you still using from 20 years ago? I graduated from high school 20 years ago. You still using DOS 5.0 on that IBM 286 machine with 1 MEG of RAM? You still wearing those Jordache and Calvin Kline jeans, Still listening to cassettes? Still driving that 1987 K Car...

Yes it has. In the current adventure, I could reason that the hallways were 20'wide and had larger rooms because we were in a pyramid (south america style, not egyptian). Part was sealed off and part was still used as a temple. Hallways needed to be large so material could be moved and rooms had...

Back in '85 when I started, I never ran into one. There were people who knew the rules, but didn't have that arrogant swagger or disruptive to the play.

First edition Lack of Rules Lawyers! Cavaliers Unearthed Arcana (original) Percentage based skills Different progressions for classes (made you think of ways to keep the wizard alive) Different spell lists for classes Different abilites for classes. Drow were always evil and the best villians...

My first character was a 1st edition halfling cleric. He made it to about 11th level, built a temple, only to have it burned down by a cleric of a rival diety the day after it was blessed. It was a great hook, but we never got around to finishing it. I still like the spellcasters, but tend more...

Maybe the citizens don't understand the price elasticity of demand. Just give them the formula E(sub)d =%(delta)Q(sub)d /% (delta)P That would clear everything up. I knew that economics class would finally pay off.

I remember only imposing the training rules if a character dual/multiclassed. XP for gold was a rule I saw used all the time. I think that part of the reason that players saw the same DM'ing type was that as players learned from the first DM, they kept a lot of the same rules because that is...

I have the major starting area fleshed out pretty well. Names of important NPC's, leaders, guilds and such. With the current campaign we have a couple of rpg newbies, so I wanted to get them exposed to several areas of the world. A desert, a swamp, big city, ruined tower, and other fantasy...
