By the rules above, I'd say you should also include: Aihrde: After Winter's Dark Campaign Folio (Troll Lord Games) (Note, not the previous d20 version of Erde, which did not meet the requirements, but the new folio as produced for C&C is very light on any rules or mechanics, about the same...

I was already solidly on C&C, sticking with it happily. :cool:

To Erik and the guys @ Paizo... I commend you guys on sticking with what you are passionate about and committing to what must have been a difficult choice. The fact that your subscriptions are going up would be a strong indicator that this is indeed a whole new ballgame in the RPG market, and...

Victory Games' James Bond (already mentioned several times) Moldvay/Cook B/X Star Frontiers :cool:

Bump I play C&C and port stuff when its interesting from all sorts of places. My interest is more on the effects of 4e and the GSL on the gaming market.

LOL, no it's not nonsense, it's called trying to eliminate competition and corner the market, not new to any product-based industry. The OGL can't be undone. HASBRO would love to do so now. So, they go for the next best approach... limit the licensing of the #1 market (the D&D brand name) and...

"D&D" is not in a trademarked name, and it certainly doesn't exist just because WotC publishes something with the moniker atop it. I have always said that D&D isn't necessarily found in a particular set of rules, but in a group of individuals around a table or a room, imagining themselves as...

I now play Castles & Crusades, which is the best hybrid for my tastes and needs - and, yes, I consider it an "edition" of the D&D game - just having the rights to the title and putting it across a set of rulebooks doesn't make something "D&D" Having looked at 4e, it certainly looks like a fun...

I did indeed use a shareware program -- AKS Hexmapper, can find it here: http://home.paonline.com/zaikoski/ak/TOOLS.HTM You have to custom the number of hexes - the initial is very small. I then ported a basic map over to Paint for additional work, and ultimately I used NeroSnap photo tools...

Mordenkainen vs. Elminster in an MTV Celebrity Death Match!!!! :]

Yeah, I was looking for the poll with a choice between the two lol! :confused: I'd vote Greyhawk, BTW. ;)

I would like to give kudos to the intent of the 4e designers... The OP mentioned the comparison to C&C (which is my preferred system), and in one big respect, at least at what is beginning to emerge, there is an apt comparison here. D&D 4e is attempting a hybridization between "old school"...

Glad to hear that. :)

I would like to say this - this post makes me feel better about my fears that 4e would move even farther down the line of PC's being unkillable in any situation, even at low levels. Of course, that reality with this particular situation may be construed as a "negative" by those who didn't like...

Heh, I've seen enough glimpses of the pole as its being moved out of the factory to know it's not my cup of tea, but again... it's just a personal preference. The mere fact that we're discussing the "problems" with how lethal the full dragon is against a 1st level party... One of the things my...

In my current C&C campaign my group found themselves, at around 3rd level, in a major maritime city (Ascalon) on the world of Aihrde (Erde), and when I sensed their interest in exploring the seas, X1 The Isle of Dread popped immediately to mind - so I grabbed it and off we went. For me...

Again, the only problem with the analogy is that plenty of people are still "driving" OD&D, 1e, etc. No one drives a Model T. The more apt comparison would be the VW Bug, or the 1970's Mustang.

Ya know, the funny thing is I brought up the car metaphor about two years ago on these boards, discussing "old school" versus 3.5... And the majority of posters hit me pretty hard for saying I preferred older editions to the sleek, nearly-perfected model that was 3.5. I'd still buy the...

At 1st level as the party is just getting going, role-playing this (in a tavern, inn, shop) can actually be helpful at letting the players "play out" their personalities a bit.... once past a certain stage I just remind them that they have plenty to pay for basic sundries, room and board, etc...

The one thing to say - Many of the things "disliked" here (such as Kits, the AC, etc.) are still liked by others... just about every thing from any edition that is one person's "broken part" is fine to someone else... ...except... THACO. This is the one thing that I have heard near...
