    War Birds Dives Into WWII History: A Review

    This looks like a good use of "serious subject matter" games as a teaching/learning tool. It's definitely on my radar now, thanks for the great review!

    D&D 5E (2014) Strongholds & Followers: A Review

    This is exactly what I need in a review, thanks! It does look interesting, and a really good launching off point for him. Hopefully he cleans up some of the design flaws in his up coming titles, because 5e really needs these supporting supplements!

    A D100 Revolution With Revolution D100

    This was really interesting, thanks! I haven't been following the BRP/Chaosium news, but it sounds like a smaller-scale version of the early 2000's d20 situation.

    D&D General Did anyone ever "win" D&D?

    A game I ran for over a year and a half (weekly 8+hour sessions)that ended with the PCs becoming deities and being put on a new world created by AO (the Forgotten Realms Over-God.) They had messed up the world so much with their crusading (for starters: they wiped out the Zhents, literally...

    AD&D 1E Seeking advice for my first 1e campaign

    Wow... You've all given me quite a bit to think about. Thanks! I'm going to dig through the books a bit more carefully over the next few days and see what I want to use. GDQ sounds too good to skip running, so I might do that rather than the Tomb (or run the tomb as a one-off for them.)

    AD&D 1E Seeking advice for my first 1e campaign

    Heya folks! I'm thinking of running a 1e game starting with Keep on the Borderlands (of course, tweaked for AD&D) and culminating with The Tomb of Horrors. My friends and I have been playing in the range of 10-15 years, and most of my experience as a DM comes from 3e, 4e, Cyberpunk 2020, GURPS...

    Things that WOW didn't invent

    Off-topic: Yeah, the Terran vs. Zerg/Space Marines Vs. Tyranids thing was done by Heinlein in Starship Troopers. IIRC the book has the Mobile Infantry in powered armor akin to the Terran Marines and Imperial Space Marines, whereas the movie has them in lighter body armor, akin to the Imperial...
