Yes. I feel the need to apologise to everyone for dropping the ball over the holidays and not managing to pick it up again! Please give me a quick show of hands: Who wants to get going again, get this one finished if we can. Alternately, who wants to try something new? I really, really hate...

Even I'm starting to feel antsy, and I've been very clear that no one should panic before a few more weeks yet.

Aside from a general blame on WotC (as folks are keen to do), even if you had read the credits, you wouldn't know who to blame. It's really difficult to say who screwed up any given product. Even when they're good, they could have been better if not for X (with only sometimes any consensus on...

Well, there IS quite a bit more of it than there once was, to be fair.

At some point I noticed that my store's system has some of the release dates wrongly entered (I think it was a sorting error done at some point in history). I'd thought that I'd caught them all, but apparently not. You are correct, the dates I glanced at were wrong, and I probably should have...

Do you normally know a lot about the people who have worked on D&D, when it was early in their time there? Honest question.

Sure, fine. But you are commenting on a person who didn't write any of it, and condemning her for writing another book that you didn't read, just because it shares a similar name.

You're a Johnny, AND a Richards! How could you NOT like the FF.

As many of you know, I have owned a Comic and Game store for 32 years and counting. I help to curate many folks' collections. I care more about your taste (if you are a customer) than I do about my own. But if anyone is curious about what I like, I would say that, aside from the above-mentioned...

Done a few posts back!

Time for a Single Store Anecdote! At my FLGS, we've sold... 25x Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel. Compare that to 47x Candlekeep Mysteries, , 40x Ghosts of Saltmarsh, 38x Tales from the Yawning Portal, and 24x Keys from the Golden Vault. I'll point out that these are LIFETIME Sales, and...

I don't think every setting needs to hold every option. A curated list can be very empowering to the imagination.

That's a hot take you're going to be hard pressed to find a lot of agreement on!

I'll back your right not to like it, but... "realistic"? It's a floating gathering point in the Astral Sea... of course it's not realistic! "High Fantasy is not for me!" will do nicely. I can't find fault in that.

It seems to me that whenever they Remaster an old Adventure, they ought to at least look at any sequels or supplements, to see if they can fit in any tidbits. It seems like a no-brainer to me, even when the material isn't perfect.

Did they make more than 2?

Ah! That actually makes more sense, in fact. I suspect that our disconnect is there - I was only ever speaking of remixing old adventures in general - someone else suggested that particular one - and you were expressing your distaste for "updating" that one.

Shrug. Could have been longer ago. Not sure it matters. I was talking about "someone who worked on" a hypothetical reworking. Which, let's be honest, isn't likely to happen, and it was only ever used in this thread as an example of a possible adventure that has yet to be updated, but...

Like I said - I'm not a fan of the original. I tried to run it once twenty years ago or something, and I felt that it was everything that I don't like about dungeons. And yet, I'd be happy to see a new version, in particular if someone who worked on it was able to show what they feel is good...

No idea. Never liked it myself, but I am aware that some folks remember it fondly. No skin in this game, me.
