    Can someone list all versions of D&D and explain their differences to me?

    Tom Moldvay I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday, yet this sticks in my head across the gulfs of time.

    D&D Advertising & D&D Lite

    Exactly. White Wolf made a lot of money and brought loads of formerly-non-gamers into the fold by appealing to both genders.

    Great villains!

    Now, now... ;) I think what makes Sauron so terrifying in LOTR is that (at least in that portion of Tolkien's work) he's quite inscrutable--here is a being of incredible power, who (despite his "handicapped" state without the Ring) can still shake a world in a desperate (if clumsy) series of...

    WOTC sold?

    Whew! For a second there, I'd thought that Orcus/Tenebrous/Primus/Peter Adkinson was back & up to no good... ;)

    (rumour) WotC is Sick!!!

    If we're lucky, the Book of Vile Stuffiness will at least give us some systems to resolve this evil plague. No way am I opening the Dragon sealed promotional insert for that one. Not without gloves, anyway.

    Call of Cthuthu math

    http://www.udallas.edu/mathdept/faculty/wmwhite/games/cthulhu.html Bear in mind that when the author first wrote this article, his analysis didn't account for the "Death from Massive Damage" rule. He planned on re-running his numbers within "a few days" (this was in April 2002), but the article...

    Is WOTC/Hasbro mismanaging D&D?

    How many pages would be in such a volume? As far as I can tell, noone has censored you.

    Amazon Sale of DnD Products

    Your Move Games, perhaps? Or have you discovered another such place?

    [OT] Sep. 11th was the day that I...

    That morning, last September, I woke up a tad late (normally I take an 8:30 am commuter train out of Boston, but I took the 9:05 instead). I got off the train, hopped into a cab, & gave my destination. The cabbie started his car, and looked at me and said, "I can't believe they did it! They...

    How to describe Strider's combat on Weathertop

    Re: Re: Devils Advocate, part 2 Wasn't Saruman the one responsible for the storm over Caradhras? (Or am I thinking of the film rather than the novel?)

    [Mucho OT] A man who deserves to be tortured painfully.

    Put to death? No. Barbecued? Yes. It's a shame that however "advanced" or "civilized" our society gets, there are still cruel, unthinking, heartless people out there.

    Has anyone tried the HackMaster GM screen yet?

    I've got it... ...and it's simply wonderful! Brainburn wrote: "Is it funtional for D&D or another game system??" Well, it's full of HackMaster tables, so that kind of limits its applications vis-a-vis other gaming systems. But it will screen your notes from your players, provide convenient...

    PCs lack of respect for the 'caste' system of your typical fantasy society

    Since someone's brought up LotR... "'There now, Mister, that'll do. It's the Chief's orders that you're to come along quiet. We're going to take you to Bywater and hand you over to the Chief's Men; and when he deals with your case you can have your say. But if you don't want to stay in the...

    [OT] Best music to listen to when depressed

    Tiered levels Cheer-ups: The Sugarcubes (any); Stone Roses (1st album); Pixies (esp. Surfer Rosa); Revolting Cocks; and, of course, The The (find me someone who can't possibly cheer up to "Uncertain Smile"). Moodier territory: Pink Floyd (Animals is my personal fave); Spiritualized; Tom Waits...

    Suppose D&D was outlawed tomorrow...

    Unfortunately I'm still waiting for a d20 mass combat system to come out. Maybe Games Workshop will release a line of Role-Player army miniatures...
