$786.05 (I track expenses on a spreadsheet)
Deck of Many Things, the new 2024 books (hardcover, DnDBeyond and Roll20), some small kickstarters, a couple of humble bundles and bundles of holding. Some isn't strictly D&D, like ShadowDark, but I lump it in as tabletop RPG
This book replaces everything in the old book. If we didn't cover it, use the old stuff but check our notes. Sounds like a new (compatible) edition to me.
Thanks all, looks good. Yes, the hobbits, ents and balrog weren't yanked until the 6th printing (OCE). I already preordered it, happy it's an early printing.
Sorry if this has been answered, but which printing of OD&D is this? Same with Greyhawk, Blackmoor and Eldritch Wizardry. When WotC did the reprints a few years back they used something like the 7th printing, which wasn't very interesting.
Left at 4th edition. I tried to like it. I bought the books, got into campaigns, played one shots. Switched to PF1, which was just a cleaned up version of 3.5. Came back at 5th edition.
Pre-COVID, playing in person, rarely. Something (almost) always happened.
Post-COVID, playing with VTT, 100%. Even though the players are across three time zones.
There is also the Hawk & Moor series, 1-5 by Kent David Kelly. He has a standalone called HAWK & MOOR - The Steam Tunnel Incident: The Tragedy of James Dallas Egbert III, which is as good as I have read about that event. The entire run has plenty of footnotes documenting his sources.
1E (AD&D hardback) had examples of play in the DMG, starting at page 97. OD&D, the woodgrain and white box sets, had nothing. I think this is why people say it was passed along from people who had played.
I'm in 2 different games, both weekly. But I haven't played in person since COVID started, and I'm not sure that aspect is coming back. I have a ton of Dwarven Forge, but stopped accumulating once I realized how little in-person gaming I was doing.
