haven't been reading any reviews, but I've seen a lot of comments on the movie on the D&D pages I hang out on at Facebook. They seem to be running about 3/4 positive, with 1/4 of them being rather negative.... strikingly so in a few cases...

I didn't really set out to be a dice collector, but I just ended up with a bunch. First, it was just a set for me to use as a player. Then I started to DM some games and had to get more. Then one of the groups I was in had some players who didn't have enough dice to get by, so I set up...

cover of FR9: The Bloodstone Lands

I started in 1980 in college at a smalllish town in MT. Surprisingly, gaming stuff wasn't that hard to come by, as the toy store in the mall had a big RPG section. Still, back in those early days, there weren't a lot of modules on hand yet, and we tended to run through what there was pretty...

even way back in the day, I'd wondered why TSR was wasting money on getting SPI products and then trying to publish them.... only later did I learn just how much money TSR wasted on assorted bad ideas and litigation. Later, when I read of EGG's wargaming roots, it wasn't so surprising that he...

well, it's not a complete compilation, but didn't one of the 'best of Dragon' issues collect a bunch of them?

while I disagreed with EGG in general on the Conan movie, I thought he had a point on one thing... that incredibly bad "Flower Children of Doom" scene...

I don't think they'd have put every monster published in Dragon in this theoretical new MM.... just the ones they considered 'worthy' by whatever means. As for the Cook vs. EGG, I'm conflicted. I was annoyed at 2E's caving in to the Satanic Panic and nixing the fiends, assassins, half orcs...

Having recently acquired a copy of Dragon #103 and read through it, one of the most interesting articles was "From the Sorcerer's Scroll" by EGG himself (one of his last, IIRC), talking about his view of how the second edition of D&D would look like. He anticipated that it would be a 2-3 year...

Heh. I remember that from back in the day, saw most of the series when it originally aired...

first group I was in, I was only occasionally the DM. Second one, I was the DM almost all the time...

"post mortem" is such an appropriate term for this particular module....

You have critters from two articles I wrote for 137. By that point, I think the IP gets a lot clearer, as my contract specifically says that the Publisher gets all rights from the Seller if the article is accepted, so WOTC should have all rights to them. But I have no idea about earlier issues...

"The Tax Deductions". Well, there's a fine and unusual name for an adventuring group....

RIP. When I started sending submissions to Dragon, he was still the editor (briefly). I used to proudly tell people that my first article submission was personally rejected by Kim Mohan....

one of my nieces is into D&D/5E. I spent a chunk of last year assembling a 'weird dice' set. I had one set that, along with the standard D&D dice, included oddball ones like D3s, D5s, etc., all the way up to D30. And a standard set that had tiny little rubber duckies inside. And a set that...

the last group I was in (as the DM) had 7 players, and other than the very beginning and end of the college semesters, they all showed up every time. So my adventures tended to be the 'lots of enemies' type so that everyone had something to do....

"well, there's Bill, and Bob, and Shecky, and Mortimer, and...."

Swords and Spells is the oldest D&D thing I own, apparently, although I think my copy is a later printing, as it doesn't have the lizardman logo...
