Yeah, after I get back from vacation, I'll be setting up a notice in the local library. At this point I don't want to set up a game, just to postpone it a month.

I'm interested, but from what I've gathered so far, I may be the only person for 100 mile radius of where I live, had a finder post in here @ a month, as well as three other sites, not one bite.

It's not about placing blame, here. It's about what got done, why and how it was done, and what we wound up with as a result. IMO, Hasbro and WoTC (not that it matters, now) could have handled things differently, been a little more forthcoming about the(then) new edition, (4e) and not only would...

I was looking for reprints of the 1e Pamphlets. You know what they're getting for an original box, complete ? AD&D, I still have from the 80s.

THOSE BAXTERS! They should have sent me a letter! WHAT's WRONG with them?

Enter Hernchlingman!

I would be expecting a "retro resurgence", personally. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see Hasbrah try to cash in on the nostalgia of the older segment of the market. We already have 5 editions to choose from. Wouldn't be surprised to see them reprint and re-package some of the 1E stuff.

One old trick I use is to save all my old PC sheets. If I have to drop a 5th level fighter in somewhere, for instance, I can use an old sheet for reference information on developed feats, etc, without trying to build that character from scratch. That does sound good, BTW.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I also encourage teamwork.

Players are pretty much going to "go for the gold" and fight monsters, anyway. This is like saying "it's cheating, to search the PHBs and manuals to try to figure out a way to maximize your character". Everybody tries to do this, even if they don't succeed. The DM needs to find a way to award...

What it tells me is Grenadier was interested in selling large groups of miniatures, which could be handy, to represent different party members, NPCs, and also townsfolk. I remember many a party of half a dozen PCs, back during AD&D, and usually we played NPCs to compensate for parties smaller...

Well, I don't know how to describe it, otherwise? It had a beautiful layout, incredible art, well synopted general explanations of the overall game, at the front, and the back end just was hard to describe in it's incomplete complexity.

Dudes and Master Gamers, can't we all just get along?:cool:

Respectfully, I'm going to somewhat disagree with you here, a little, Kobold Boots. They merchandised and promoted an online game to TT gamers, and whored out all the manuals and miniatures. After all, if it's an ONLINE version, don't you want the manuals to be PDFs or IRLs? And what do you need...

IMO, for what it's worth, (not that it's for sale) WoTC didn't do a bad job with 4E as an edition, where they screwed up was with the promotion. If you're going to make it an online game, then SAY that, and DO that. Don't hawk all new, expensive PHBs and miniatures, and short-stroke all of your...

I'm not a real fan of the "gold for XP" regimen, because RPGs are fashioned after real life, to a great degree. And no amount of money can buy experience, in real life. Or look at the adventurers who delve for six or eight expeditions and come up relatively empty-handed, each time. Are they to...

The REAL problem with replacing original Coke was that Coca-Cola is what everybody uses in mixed drinks. When's the last time somebody asked for a Pepsi & Bourbon? Or Pepsi and Rum?

JMHO, but sometimes the DM should take a particularly lucky session, and wholesale out XP, rather than literally funding several levels with one treasure hoard. This would take evil personal venality out of play. (Ancagalon's example: "PCs stealing and hiding treasure from each other") One of...

I wouldn't be surprised to see "Classic D&D"- reprints of the TSR originals, in possibly a nice tin box, with special polys, and maybe a separate "Classic DM" module.

The Kobolds VS the Gnomes. They were evenly matched, for the most part. We were faced with being the deciding force, in a confrontation between two enemies. We had nothing to lose, picking a side. We smashed the Gnome Boss, luckily, and for many sessions, we had Kobold minions at our back.
