    Just curious - when & why did the style of the Basic/Expert D&D books change

    Thanks for the website. As for the entry: Twelfth (1983) * Third Revision of the Basic Set rules, coinciding with the release of Set 3: Companion Rules (the D&D Expert Set was also updated at this time) * Entitled Basic Rules Set 1. Solid red box depicting a red dragon fighting a single...

    Just curious - when & why did the style of the Basic/Expert D&D books change

    I originally started playing D&D with the Basic and Expert sets in 1983 (the Moldvay versions) and then relatively soon after switched to AD&D when it becam available in the UK. My question is that I've subsequently seen later printings of the Master and Immortals books and they are structured...

    Melnibonean-inspired race as LA+0

    Couldn't this argument be used for all attributes to a greater or lesser degree? e.g. is any race better at being a Fighter than the half-orc or better at being a rogue than the elf?

    D&D 4E So why does the 4e DMG costs the same as PHB?

    Weren't the 3.0E core rulebooks sold at a discount? I seem to remember WotC using it as a strategy to get people to be more willing to make the move from 1E or 2E. If so, is it significant that this approach isn't being taken for 4.0E? Could it be because WotC believe 4.0E is so much better...

    Late night gamer fun: (must see!!!)

    it's quality . . . I particularly like the pause after each segment where Paris misses her cue and then starts up (presumably after an off screen prompt)

    D&D 4E 4e - Too much change?

    I think this sums up exactly why I don't think 4E will be for me. Not alone! I couldn't agree more.

    Yup - and Basic/Expert D&D and 3.xE - never played 2E though . . .

    The Great d20 sell off begins with GRR

    Hi! See my previous post - unfortunately Esdevium do know that it's not just America . . . there just not interested! :(

    The Great d20 sell off begins with GRR

    Thanks guys - definitely seems weight related (or perhaps size?). For the three books I'd definitely want I get a minimum P&P of $39. I can then add three others (including Book of the Righteous) before it trips to the next category.

    The Great d20 sell off begins with GRR

    Hi - I had a look at this. I think I was planning to spend about $50 which would incur around $120 worth of P&P. Eventhough it's probably still worth it (from a purely objective point of view) I just can't justify that level of cost on P&P.

    The Great d20 sell off begins with GRR

    Based on this: And this reply: I contacted Esdevium and got this reply :( Hi I believe that originally it was a US only offer, then we were offered it. When we looked at the stock that was made available, we decided not to do it. Regards, Rhys Knight Telesales Manager, Esdevium...

    Greybeards & Grognards 3: Assassins, Paladins, and Party Harmony

    It's going back a while but my recollection of 1E was that Paladins and Assassins were both OK depending on the existing party. Problems only really arose when you tried to shoe horn a character into as a poor match for an existing party. I can remember a generally good group of characters (no...

    D&D 4E New d20 publications in advance of 4E

    Now that 4E is on it's way I was wondering what new publications would be appearing before 4E for 3.xE (from publishers other than WotC)? I really don't have much of a sense of it much? nothing? Anything special?

    Other SAGAs?

    When the SW SAGA edition was launched I remember someone mentioning a Firefly/Serenity conversion for it - I can't remember who it was but I wouldn't mind seeing a copy ;)

    What Kind of D&D Character Would You Be?
