I have been listening to The Greycast pod, which is a good deep-dive into old school Greyhawk.

I go to the gym 4x a week. I can do 50 push ups in less than a minute. I am still putting weight on (thank you, middle age). Diet is the hardest part. I am also trying to just accept that my 57 year old body looks like a 57 year old body. Not easy. "Time is a stalking beast, Picard..."

I love C&C as an an operating system, but the Troll Lord's modules ("Tell us what that word means, Grandpa!") are meh.

It seems like that's the plan, but as you said, other VTTs have licensing agreements (Foundry, Roll20, etc.)

Thank you, brother. I play castles in Crusades and dungeon crawl Classics now! OSE is on the menu too.

On Mastering Dungeons a few weeks back, one of the hosts said that more people started playing D&D last year alone than played from 1975-2014. I'm not sure how they came up with that metric (maybe number of starter boxes purchased), but regardless: 5e is D&D for many millions of people. And...

It is what it is, fam. Hope for the best.

You are probably right. But WotC has such a huge backlog of material. Update it for D&D Beyond and I’ll happily pay.

I have wondered if more/most of the dollars currently going toward other systems--DCC, Castles&Crusades, etc.--went back to D&D if it would make financial sense for them to have a well-supported rules variant that was more old school. Probably not. Sigh. A man can dream.

Maybe Luke will make a gritter, OSR-like variant set in Greyhawk. My joy would be substantial.

I grew up reading TSR Forgotten Realms supplements that were like three columns per page of 10 point font text with very few pictures. This is not a heavy lift.

I am going through it now and I think it's amazing. Freaking huge! I like this much more than Dwarrowdeep.

I guess I was thinking, there are a lot of people who are not playing D&D anymore, and offering them a different rule set might bring them into the fold. This all occurred to me when I saw that Luke Gygax was going to write some Greyhawk material. I hope, hope, hope they don't turn it into what...
