This is an obviously true statement, and I don't think that anyone is disputing it. However, the choice to be opaque in one's decision-making process is just that-- a choice-- and WotC will have to deal with the fallout of that choice. Saying "it's their right to choose" is not enough; the...

Which is, of course, precisely why WotC is doing things the way they are. It makes perfect sense from their point of view. They make money by selling 4E Player's Handbooks, not by watching other folks sell books that don't require the possession of a 4E Player's Handbook. What I'm still stuck...

I realize this might seem completely naive, coming from someone with only a small bit of experience in the gaming industry, but I must ask why the companies dedicated to 3E and the OGL feel they have to follow the herd and support 4E and the GSL as well? Yes, you get to use the D20 logo, come...

If the term "grognard" ends up being applied to folks who prefer 3E over 4E, then the terrorists will have already won. :-) I would like to know if the new license restrictions would keep me from implementing an idea I had in the back of my head to do versions of the same products for both...

Established group just lost a couple of players and is looking to round things out again. Game is AD&D 1E, set in the World of Greyhawk; game is mostly plot-driven with interludes of old fashioned dungeon crawling. DM has 30 years experience. Game is on Fridays (every other Friday for right...

I'm running an AD&D 1E game, set in Greyhawk, and am looking for new players. I'm about to roll out my own version of Castle Greyhawk, so it'll be a mix of dungeon crawl and plot-driven stories, based in the City of Greyhawk. I've been DMing for, hmmm, 30 years or so now. We play Friday nights...

I play AD&D so I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

Bear in mind that it's not too difficult to carry them around all the time. They all fit in a couple 8.5"x5.5" booklets. AD&D is a tad tougher since the books are physically larger, but the basic three still fit easily in the average backpack, with room for a couple cans of Jolt thrown into the...

Now THAT sounds interesting. Can you share? I've gotta say, this does really sound like a gag thread at this point.

I realize everyone's all a-twitter with the 4th edition stuff coming, but what ever happened to the 1E message boards? Hidden away someplace, or just gone?

Whoopsie! Did seem a tad contrived, though.

It would be like selling the Led Zeppelin song library to Marilyn Manson.

I thought the color on my monitor was going to go out. ;-)

Frankly, I won't shed a tear once new "official" Greyhawk supplements stop coming out. The less stuff that's released, the less they'll continue to ruin my beloved Grehawk. I know that Erik is a true fan of the milieu, but he is naturally beholden to the corporate masters, and businessmen make...

It was actually in Dungeon Magazine issues 118-121. I was able to get them straight off the Paizo website; they might still be available there. Some minor inconsistencies witht he original Darlene maps, but glorious nonetheless when tacked up on the wall together. (My suggestion; get them...

This happened at our last gaming session, actually. It's a quickie but a goodie... My wife not only managed to roll a "1" on a "to hit" roll, but the die actually bounced off the table and hit her in the eye in the process. I kid you not. A critical miss in-game and a critical hit in...

I find that particularly fascinating (and yet another indicator of just how far you were willing to go to find source material). Although it also points out how far Mme. Blavatsky was willing to go for source material, inasmuch as the Deva is a Hindu figure. I have been toying with the idea of...
