The point that has been made is that if a law were made that specified that video games must be sold and not licensed then, game companies would have to comply or cease their commercial activity in the EU. It wouldn't matter how the companies might represent it. The law would override that.

Yes, I got confused about the releases, sorry.

Edit: My mistake.

EDIT: My mistake.

This is done under license from SJG, not directly by them. Other than that, I agree fully. Dungeon Fantasy was a great idea, IMHO, but the implementation could have been better. It is a stand-alone product and it does all the work of creating the game, but it keeps too many complex options and...

Thanks for the heads-up. Douglas Cole does solid work, IMO, and this looks quite interesting to me. P.S. The link in your post does not seem to work. Hopefully, this one does.

My copy also looks fine. Would it be possible, at some future time, to add bookmarks to the PDF?

I'm a very tolerant person. I totally respect that others can have opinions that are different from mine... and WRONG.

Thanks for sharing this, I was sure that something like this article was out there. Still, it is all very arbitrary. I almost prefer (from an esthetic point of view) the 2d6 roll under explanation. The system described in the article could work equally well with AC starting at 1 and going up to...

Thanks for the summary. It is still completely baffling to me. You don't like Matt's "spin" on the rules? Pick a different version or, better still, do one yourself. Do you want to play it exactly as it was? Buy the PDF of the original.

Yes, DDB was originally a third party project with a license from WotC. It was owned first by Curse and then by Fandom. Later, it was bought by WotC and brought in-house. After a while, WotC decided to merge DDB with its general D&D website.

When I bought it, I had never heard about Castle Greyhawk before, but I still disliked it extremely.

I'm probably missing the context, but couldn't they just ignore those people?

I don't understand any of this. Is there an edition war among clones of the OD&D boxed set? Is that enough to retire a product? I'm puzzled.

That module (which I agree is really terrible module) has nothing to do with Gygax. It was a parody of Castle Greyhawk and it was published several years after Gary had left TSR.
