In 2010, during one of the early Gary Cons, Ernie was kind enough to let me tag along over to his home where we and others talked quite a bit and played the San Juan card game. When Ernie found out I was a Fritz Leiber fan, he handed me a postcard Fritz has sent his mother Mary Gygax. I'm not...

Yup. I've seen that. The D&D games that I was hard pressed to recognize as the same game I played, for example.

Started around 1980, though I had been hanging around my older cousins' basement, watching them play a lot in the late 70s. I have the same reaction as you do, fairly often. I also have the "you're full of it, you weren't playing back then" or "playing the goldbox games from SSI in your...

Carse is part of Midkemia. https://midkemia.fandom.com/wiki/Carse

Thanks for posting this. IMO, those Midkemia supplements were some of the most useful additions to the game, published back in the day.

I know Hat of D02. You are no Hat of D02.

Howdy- I went to look at the dtrpg page for this, and the first bullet point reads: "Unique cinematic three act structure." The grumpy old grognard in me reads that, and says, "Sounds like a railroad." Could you comment on that, and and "cinematic" features, as I don't really know what that...

If he doesn't I'll gladly take it.

That's great! Thanks for that info. In the little I've been able to compare (the Ogre and Ochre Jelly), there is quite a bit of difference. Yeah, got it last night. But I appreciate letting me know, just the same. I agree, whole-heartedly.

Not with my hectic schedule. Also, are you sure there will be monsters with that update?

Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be rolling my own to get an adventure ready for gencon. (I'm not spending any money on 5e until I play it a few times, then I'll decide.)

So.....no monsters. I'm planning on reading through the download, and if it seems okay, I'm going to run an adventure for some old friends at gencon. Problem is: I need monsters. There was the a preview a few days back with some monsters from the starter set, so I have that to go by. I was...

Do any of you know if the Basic set download will be available from dndclassics.com, the wizards.com website, or somewhere else? Thanks!

So why couldn't you ignore it like I did? I'm not seeing anything here that shows how WotC made you "endure" it. I just see a bunch of butthurt because they didn't cater to your idea of what D&D should be. Here's a clue: If you get booted from a site, then take the same line of BS to...

Sure, it's hyperbole. But so is the claim of being forced to "endure" 4e. Please explain how you were made to "endure" 4e.

Yeah, seriously. Please tell us how the WotC goon squad came to your residence and forced you to endure 4e.....I need some adventure hooks for a Top Secret S.I. game. I mean, I was somehow able to avoid 4e after I played the initial demo from the gameday when it came out. I didn't even think...

I'm not in the market for a new fantasy RPG, as a DM. But if a friend ran a 5E game at a convention or gameday, I might be willing to give it a try as a player. Given those conditions, I'd only buy it in PDF format (if at all), as I already have too many never/very rarely used physical books...
