I haven't played or brought any books since COVID. This will be my first new one.

Seems like someone in advertisement finally fulfilled a wish he kept since he was a kid in the 80s. The cartoon was very popular in Brazil despite D&D was released only 10 years later. Even now, many people -- such as my wife before we met -- fail to make the connection between the show and the...

Curious to see their take on the magical system as it is the same as The Dying Earth, another Jack Vance series that was the base model for D&D.

Planescape is the most imaginative D&D setting Wizards have. Still, I thought it was too constrained by D&D conventions, such as Tolkien's races. I would love if they published a reboot based in the core concepts but without the legacy.

What a mess! Although I always prefer books in English, the Portuguese edition is a must to most Brazilian players, especially kids that are starting in the hobby. I hope they will settle quickly, although, if it is true, it will be hard to imagine anyone trying to do business if Fire on Board.

Writing from memory, there are no stats in this product, except for class and level for the rulers of the many nations. Considering the 5th edition PHB already give guidelines for many of the gods from the Greyhawk's pantheon, I say we don't need anything else to create your own campaign.

I find the design to be terrible. There are too many elements cluttered in a single piece in such way that the message is lost in the confusion. In the city I live, Rio, there are several statues of famous people in real size. Some can be very elaborate as of a famous composer who is literally...

It would be BECMI as compiled in the Rules Cyclopedia. I read most of the 5th edition PHB and I liked a lot of the mechanics although I am not so sure about some of the design choices in the classes. Nevertheless, as I haven't played it yet I'll refrain to give my opinion on 5th edition until...

If this was any other company than WotC, I would assume Perkins is hinting a new product specifically tied to Greyhawk. Either a setting book or an adventure path. However, considering how the company have treated the setting in the last ten years, I wouldn't be surprised if he was just...

As a serious gamer, the only one I would ever buy is the Wii U. Despite the fact is less powerful than the others and will almost certainly receive the least support from all third party publishers, it will still receive the Nintendo games, which are are worth of the price of buying a console...

Whatever the dispute was, they reached an agreement and the game is back on sale.

A supplement will not help much as the math is pretty obvious and the real advantage is having the alternative numbers in the monsters' descriptions on the core book.

The best AC in AD&D is -10, which is translated to 30 in the ascending AC system. These systems are equivalent, as long as the rules they present are the same. As such, there is no difference in using one or another other than the ascending one is much more simple as it does no require a table.

I find OSRIC much superior as a rules set than AD&D. I still enjoy reading Gygax's prose in the original but the rules are much better laid down in OSRIC. The only thing I would like to see included was an option for ascending AC, as we can find inSwords & Wizardry and a few other OSR's product...

It is very, very difficult to evaluate what customers want with pools. First of all, Wizards' pools at their site are useless because of the very biased sample of the universe of potential D&D players. Still, they might give some information of what their current customers with a habit of...

Even better, a Bruce Heard's Mystara.

I have some experience playing and GMing Rolemaster, which requires summing numbers with three digits all the time. The thing is, most of the players were engineers and have little problem with these operations. However, less mathematical inclined people, such as the lawyer player really had a...

The d20 + modifier mechanic is not a problem except for the most obtuse old schoolers. A simpler game with few layers of complexity (feats, attacks of opportunities, and, perhaps, skills) is what a game should be designed to attract the OSR people. However, I doubt WotC is really trying to get...

I am playing 1st edition AD&D right now. My books are perfect but I might buy the new printing to support the Gygax Memorial. Also, only I and the DM have the books so I might convince some of my fellow players to support the initiative.
