    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    I'll think I'll just crawl under a rock now and die! ;) Seriously, this is interesting. It isn't an issue of 1st edition vs 3rd edition or Greyhawk vs Living Greyhawk or King Kong vs Godzilla. The truth of the matter is there really is no issue at all. We're all a bunch of jerks who spend...

    Soliciting Advice & Stories pertaining to RttToEE

    There's some flaws but what module doesn't have them? But what gets my goat is that it's set in the World of Greyhawk and composed of ripped up Greyhawk elements thrown together in a bowl (Crater Ridge Mines?) and tossed like a salad regardless of previous written works. The reason it wasn't...

    This man makes fun of such serious concerns of mine whether my favorite role playing game is as good as the original or not. Star Trek references against my game? Why my game? There's Palladium and GURPS still out there why doesn't he go after those. Omigod I think I'm depressed, no, I'm...

    Here's a real point: It's just a game. Here's another real point: Gary would have made a more popular Third Edition. ;)

    Well I suppose you're right. But I play 3rd edition as well. So therefore I would be a perfect judge... Hmmm.... I am perfect. I AM NOMAD. But you vaporized those 3e players! THEY WERE NOT ONE WITH THE BODY. THEY WERE ENJOYING ENEMIES AND ALLIES. That's not right, you heartless dual...

    Yes, it was that wonder of idioms that has entertained since the dawn of time... ....the inside joke! ;) As some may recall a series of awful Greyhawk threads starring yours truly with me usually being "the guy who never shuts up about Greyhawk" that would explain the use of the shark being...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    Can I just emphasize that Ie THACO is only as quick reference. And was not a true function of the game. One really should consult the charts in original Advanced since it contained a chance for six "perfect hits" on a roll of twenty. Read the page after the charts about "perfect hits"...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    I think I need to have a "seminar" at next GenCon about how their is no acountabilty for taste in the real world but their is indeed an accountabilty for taste in a game that relies on presentation for suspension of disbelief. Some of those characters if I had dragged into a game I would of...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    Thank you, sir! ;) This is exactly what I'm talking about. The details would have codes to represent game elements (feats, skills) and have it all charted sideways. I'm sorry but the Enemies and Allies format was no utility. %95 of it could of been garnered from one's own imagination in two...

    I don't want to be your enemy PSION. Didn't I just make a comment about "pot-AE-to/pot-AH-to" arguements? Seriously, you just reminded me of an old Mad Magazine with Captain Klutz slurping up the breakfast cereal and saying he loves it when he's offered a large sum to be in their commercials...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    Whoo Hoo! Alright, some good points were raised here that I've had on the backburner for a while. The complaint about the long stats and then the defense of using the DMG standard NPCs or Jamis Buck's generator. Is it just me or does this need to be resolved for 3e to survive the...

    Alright would you vote for me for President of the United States in lieu of having a new 1st edition friendly SRD? Dammit! I showed my cards too soon!

    They already sold the 3e Player's Handbook why not remove the information in that from the SRD instead? That would increase WOTC's sales even better.

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    The point and your agreeing is invalid. WOTC would make more because of the free downloads for other versions and even reinvigorate lost interest. It's pointless to argue about it anyway. The SRD itself makes no sense under that kind of scrutiny. I'm not fouling up the martian apple! ;) ...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    Barsoomcore: I've made my point and people understand what I'm saying but you seem to have some "betting chips" on the table and want to misconstrue it with some kind of belligerent double talk. I simply said if there was a "fixed" SRD that really referred to the entire system then everyone...
