    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    I didn't say the company was going to do anything. Some companies may want to sell a certain style of game that would have a universal appeal, right? Now if they had an Advanced System Reference Document ( A.S.R.D. ) then it's a bigger seller. Everyone wins. All the sellers all the buyers...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    That was what Dancey said then but now that "all the jets are in their boxes and the clouds have all gone to bed" what would he say now? Your original "sell PHBs strategy" is settled anyway. Don't forget all markets are dynamic and I'm just stating a huge market is being neglected. If...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    Josh D. is satisfied. Next! ;) What I'm saying doesn't apply to you specifically. There are people still playing other variants of the game. And is the RPG industry so backward that they couldn't have several SRD varieties to accomodate these "totally different games"? I think not. Josh...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    A SRD with all the editions. Don't fight the flow. We now live in the age of internet enlightenment. Why would companies bother adhering to something new if it scuttles away some previous revenues? Not you as the fan but for the D20 industry to sell to the whole gamer spectrum ranging from...

    Nope. I'll stand by it. It's a good idea.

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    The Cavalier and the Barbarian are fine. Whatever "Lord Gygax" said about the Unearthed Arcana being rushed it certainly has nothing to do with these already playtested and intrinsic D&D elements. (What do you mean? The Emperor has a longstanding post here? What is thy bid-... Oh, sorry! ;) )...

    Re: Re: AD&D First Edition inferior? And this year's SPECULATIONtm "WORST ANALOGY" award goes to... ;) Just kidding. I think 3e is "easier" to hit and that's what ends its smoothness. Let's face it the saving throws were fine, well tuned and we didn't need to see the "see-through engine...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    I think this sex issue has always been a stinker. It can't be discussed reasonably because of the nature of D&D being a game it is difficult to associate gender realities into an event where everyone is there to have a good time. Besides on messageboards the "fake women" always get all the...

    Any monsters get -weaker- in 3e

    Sorry that was cold. But 100% true. ;) Seriously the fighter hits more often in 3e than ever (5% more of the time than in 1e) thus making the fighter based monsters hitting just as much.

    Any monsters get -weaker- in 3e

    Well the fighters (fighting men*) are more powerful than ever in 3e and a lot of monsters are wrought from the fighter class. *Let's not isolate the grognards**, the original name of fighters in D&D was fighting men! **Grognard is a term for someone who plays sand box miniature war games upon...

    Well I think it's unfair since this overhaul for the Third Edition keeps coming up in my mind. ;)

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    No not a flame but a curse... Such is the way of the radical... You're either with me or against me. I've got to stop watching Excalibur ;) Seriously, I think it's time for peace. Not war. I just write like a berserker. Always have, always will. Is it just me or do you think the Third...

    AD&D First Edition inferior?

    Here's something I researched the other day: 1) Original Chainmail/D&D 3book set/five supplements (BM, GH, EW, GDH, S&S) 2) D&D basic 1 (blue book) (edited by Holmes) 3) Advanced D&D (PHB, DMG, MM, De&De, FF, MM2, UA, OA) 4) D&D basic 2 D&D basic 2(Otus covers - magenta box) (edited by...

    How about a survey on the 3E halfling?

    The new halfling doesn't even exist. They're just young hobbits from France.

    Any AD&D 1st Edition players here?

    Well, by 2007 there will be no lawyers left. Didn't you see Damnation Alley? ;) Alright so if we can never have a Gygax edition maybe we can put Lorraine Williams on trial for taking the entire population of D&D fans into Ed Greenwood's easy to write for and lighthearted worlds while...

    D20 Review Section Reputation

    Maybe I should do a review of the "Mega-Monte"! That should offset the other reviews! ;)

    Any AD&D 1st Edition players here?

    Well, I just got back to the ENWorld forum yesterday for the first time in almost a year and I've already had my wrist slapped for picking on Monte. ;) Anyway it's time for these ENWorlders to get a good taste of the ol' Weigel again! Hmmm, maybe a good old time Greyhawk session is needed to...

    flamey; ignore (-- Darkness)

    What has to be considered and I believe what the real concern will be is: who is coming through that door and how will this affect their decision to join my group. So let's get back to the standard "back to the dungeon" game and never mind this Book of Vile Dingleberries in the getting back...
