With UA they were the same.

I prefer 1e but I think the Thief is better designed in 2e. The Bard can rot in a cage for all I care. I vastly prefer the 1e version. There was more flavor to the classes, especially the roll high classes that you had to qualify for that had level limits. Those upper levels had a bit of...

Oh yeah for large format minis CLassic Bones is the best. I have Ma'al Drakar and some of the other dragons and they are excellent. Ma'al would be way too expensive in any other material and some of those dragons, judging by other manufacturers, would cost a lot more in resin or metal. It's just...

I have some bones classic where they have no nose. None, nothing. Just no nose. Some where the eyes are gone too.

100% they are and it isn't necessarily a bad thing but people need to take into account that Bones 6 is almost all superior materials that cost a LOT more than the cheap classic bones. The best example I can think of is the old metal zombies, then the bones classic zombies that were pretty much...

I don't think 5e was a guarantee to happen when 4e failed. The D&D dept was slashed, big time, when 4e failed. The brand was sustained as a nostalgia brand and I think the 5e development was a hail mary to corporate to keep it going. There wasn't a pivot, there was a "holy crap they will end D&D...

You forgot Basic, the second basic set with the Otus cover sold immensely and then the red box sold really well.

So in spite of the myths and legends, 3.x did not in fact outsell 1e or even 2e. That's pretty crazy considering how people act like 3.x was such a massive thing for D&D and some even speculating that it outsold 1e. I was a big 3.x player until 2007, so I am 100% surprised. I am also, on the...

Cool thing is... it pretty much is that with all the minis, it just doesn't have the terrain.

It's very clear on the package if something is SIOcast, it says Bones USA or Dungeon Dwellers and on the back it will say it is printed. The grey bonesium is the same as the white, it just has a different color. It's a very odd hill to die on when the obvious improvement in quality between...

They’re hardcover already.

SIOCast is superior to the pvc they were using in every way and the resin in their new process is incredible and I was a skeptic. You say this like it is a bad thing they moved to superior materials. The classic bones material is being used to allow for large miniatures that would have been...

They released a 5e conversion of Numenera, it's a two book set, a sourcebook for injecting science fantasy into your D&D game, Arcana of the Ancients and then the Numenera setting book, Beneath the Amber Monolith. There was also a creature book if I recall.

weird, the red box was just a revision of a product from 1980 which was a revision of a 1978 product in itself and the 1980 box is the one that sold insane amounts.

One of three: Free League, Monte Cook or Goodman Games. Free League because they produce product that WOTC, and anyone else for that matter, struggle to meet and on a consistent basis. Monte Cook for similar reasons and because the level of creativity and innovation is second to none. Goodman...

Not really, it's different from 3.x, it just eliminates the swinginess of advantage/disadvantage and some 5e mechanics while helping them differentiate enough to not be beholden to WOTC. Let's face facts, while Advantage and Disadvantage is a game changer for D&D, it eliminated a lot of the...

IT is not but the default campaign setting will be set in the same world and Warlord could be revived if interest is there. This most definitely from the Beta, rules preview and FAQ is built off 5e but abandons Advantage/Disadvantage for bonuses and penalties (applaud), drops death saves...

Yes, I am aware, it wasn't originally intended in that way to my recollection and was announced as part of the core 3 and still took way too long to deliver as unnecessary as it is and how it evolved. AKA let my joke abide man. :-P

3 128 page books so not much different from Castles & Crusades plus we won’t wait a decade for their DMG.

Looks like it is their own sort of system for mini combat but similar yeah. Elves are freaking FAST.
