    Straight Talk from Gene Weigel

    I don't see how Greenwood enters into this. Wait thanks Melan for the great association! ;) Everyone that I know is quite tired of the Elminster world. And the Elminster style. And the Elminster this and the Elminster that. What's it been? 25 years of Elminster products? Compare that to a...

    Straight Talk from Gene Weigel

    I'm glad everyone said what they said. It gets it out in the open. Let's you know who to watch out for! ;) Just kidding! There's nothing wrong with folks knowing how things go down in my opinion anyway. The word got out on the street and now people know right? Now don't start throwing...

    Straight Talk from Gene Weigel

    Hey there, I just wanted to say thanks for the honest opinions on that "little" matter! Pheww! Was it getting hot in here or was it just me? ;) Anyway I just want to set the record straight on the remark that I'm some kind of mouth piece. Well, I act at the behest of no one but myself...

    Well, we've heard just enough of that kind of talk, my "friend"! Moderator! Get rid of this... this... "gentle" creature! ;) Just kidding! Seriously, I keep hearing that there are aspects of the game that can easily be removed but then why not remove any of these aspects for a published light...

    So while "financially ruinous" for the company I would like to see future material like: 1) A new SRD that incorporates everything that "came down the pipe" rulewise into an advanced section for those of us that can keep up with it. 2) A "D&D lite" for kids but one that looks like it was...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    Well all right perhaps I overreacted too soon. It was that damn Greyhawk thread flashback! ;) Let's get this back on course here. Why would it be bad to have "all the rules" in an all edition SRD? Now never mind what that SR guy said about the financial nits and gnats of it because he's...

    This forum is done. I'll be at be Dragonsfoot if anyone wants to continue this where I won't be minimalized without cause by the administrators.

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    Calling someone a troll is such a lame "escape hatch" on messageboards. Sitting face to face does someone call you a troll for showing them an excerpt from a book? As for the back and forth with the "you're wrong because I don't understand you" that has got as much maturity as a cocktail bar...

    Yes, I believe the last writing course was Advanced Message Board Replies 103. "Like"? What course was that? Valleyonics? I'm just pointing out that you didn't realize the 3e Challenge Rating was extrapolated from treasure guardian assessment! Truth is there is nothing bad with it but you...

    Crack out the DMG. 1e and 2e. Read the last paragraph on page 84 of the original Dungeon Masters Guide: "Tricking or outwitting monsters or overcoming tricks and/or traps placed to guard treasure must be determined subjectively, with level of difficulty you assign to the gaining of the...

    Psion, I'll give you a perfect example of what I am talking about. Experience for treasure. Why is it bad? No hems, no haws. Why is it bad? A simple question.

    Hem and Haw? 3e has easier to hit gameplay. 1e BAB numbers are lower for all. HD and Armor haven't changed with the exception of leather. This proves 3e has easier to hit gameplay. No hem and haw there. Clear and defined difference.

    I just had a lengthy post disintegrated... ARRRGGHHH! And it was an apology to Storm Raven for all the aggravation I've given him and his buddies. Just kidding, I would never apologize to SR! ;) Seriously I just lost a mega-post explaining the scholarly comment! Doh! I am not writing that...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    Well, a compliment! I can't believe that Storm Raven has admitted that I have contributed a smidgeon of value! I'll think I'll have to add that to my signature: STORM RAVEN of Leesburg, Virginia has declared, "(Gene Weigel)(has)[snip]value to add. RIGHT ON! ;)

    Now you see why I resort to humor? Your automatic negative response is just as incoherent. If I'm so incoherent law man why do I always rattle your crop? ;)
