Two weeks ago I proposed something similar to the OP in my own blog: "At this point, for better or worse, the D&D market is dreadfully splintered. Getting everyone under one tent is impossible, methinks. It's my own personal belief that WotC should, despite the splintering of R&D staff...

Hey! My first* real car—seriously—was a '79 Mustang, and I enjoyed it just fine. *I had one car 2 months before it, but totaled it in a crash with a police car. Ah, misspent youth.

I agree with this (well except for the DM-may-I), and there's nothing wrong with making something better. It's a laudable goal. But then again, if it ain't broke... One must be careful in our attempts to improve things, lest we ruin them. It's like the golden rule of medicine: Don't make an...

Agreed, and something I sincerely hope they'll do with D&D-Next.

This was my experience, and we did play 1e with level caps (and detested they often were). I agree that certain builds, such the cleric/fighter, could be potent (though I never actually saw a C/F as DM). Different characters stack up differently, but sometimes a single level means a lot; I'd...

— Have more an AD&D feeling than more recent editions — Make multiclassing or hybrids a rare, not-necessarily-advantageous choice to be selected because it fits the character concept, rather than merely to increase character effectiveness/power Not at all. In 1e and 2e, in my experience...

It needs to: — Have more an AD&D feeling than more recent editions — Make combat fast; fitting 5 combats into a 5-hour session shouldn't be too much to ask — Treat monsters as monsters (rule-wise) and not as characters — Discourage power gaming and min/maxing in all game modules via hard...

Good suggestions, all!

So true. The original post really hits home for me. I enjoy and play all versions of the game, but I started losing some enjoyment with 3rd Edition because of all those feats and abilities—variety I had always desired in classes in the old days, especially in the fighter—but in practice...

I don't find this news all that surprising, and I actually think it makes good business sense. There is a big difference between actively supporting an older edition and simply reprinting the core rulebooks (updated or no). WotC's approach of "it's 4e or nothing" didn't deter the many 1e, 3e...

This. The release of 4e, GSL-wise, was a debacle. Restoring a more open model and getting 3rd-party publishers the new rules, when promised, would generate much goodwill, IMHO.

I landed in Forum three times, the second two times led to a debate of sorts and the rise of a term "TSR rules thugs." Those were the days!

Tomb of Horrors: Jabberwock's Rest: Running the Tomb, Part 8: Death to Acererak! :devil:

qft.

Another grave portent for things to come. I could say more, but I'll be good. :erm:

Seriously. The dragons, carrion crawler, and owlbear look silly. (And why is does the fire giant look bigger than the storm giant?) There are very few decent, useful figures here, if any—only the dragonborn, and I'm not going to waste money in the hope of getting one of those. I'm very, very...

Second that motion! :cool:

No shortage indeed. Sigh. Well put.

I also agree with this guess, I'm very sorry to say.

Thank you Scott.
