Unfortunately it will only last until 5E is out. Probably concerned over lost sales if they did a 4E book so close to D&D Next.

Well, there was Cheers, Gary. The Gygax Memorial Fund released it at GenCon 2011. This is probably the book you are looking for. Rumor is it will be reprinted and released on the Fund Website.

They can't. Even prior to Gary's death I don't believe he did much with his original campaign in a long time. Attempting to collect the originator's notes at this point is neigh impossible. Who even knows if he was the type to even keep good notes. Somehow, I kind of doubt it. I am not...

No. While I do respect any fan's enjoyment of BECMI and acknowledge it as a legitimate version of D&D it wasn't actually AD&D. While a lot of old schoolers are interested in this thread a great deal of folks that are newer players don't even know that Basic D&D came out after Advanced and...

Out of the lists presumed the Assassin is the most disposable class. It should be the first one chucked out. Assassination shouldn't be the focus of a single class. All classes could perform this sort of thing (depending on alignments). This should be a kit or theme or background package.

That part is easy, actually. While they seem to be taking the rules from AD&D it doesn't mean they will not take some ideas from Basic D&D. So... Red Box (Levels 1 - 5, Introductory) Player's Handbook I - Heroic (level 1 - 10) Player's Handbook II - Paragon (level 11-20) Player's...

Why does all of the talk of D&D Next sound like Fantasy Craft? I am sure it will be a lot simpler than FC but dang it does sound like they are channeling it. I looked it over once (FC) and decided against purchasing it. While the customization sounded awesome I figured it would have been...

I had considered this idea as well. Just think if they reboot Greyhawk for 5E and also re-release new versions of some of the classic Hawk adventure modules. I don't mean more return-to scenarios but stuff like a fully revised and possibly expanded Temple of Elemental Evil super module. That...

Sure. I heard this a few times in an AD&D second edition Forgotten Realms campaign. Had two players chiming in about stuff they had read mostly in the Du'Urden novels and mostly regarding Drow. At the time I told them I mostly based my campaign on the Grey box and didn't use the novels as a...

They, Paizo, are fully vested into their own setting now. So while I would have been really happy to see that happen about 3-4 years ago; I actually don't want to see it happen now. And I know it will never happen in any case. Paizo is doing its own thing and successfully. Wizards would not...

There is no doubt in my mind that Forgotten Realms will remain the default setting for fifth edition. I think it has more to do with the many contracts for the new Neverwinter Nights MMO video game than any other reason. All campaign promotions in the last year have been leading up to this...

I don't think they are slighting Arenson. WOTC did a pretty awesome job of recognizing him compared to the way both Gary himself and TSR, Inc did. I mean Arenson was paid money by WOTC, he was in the D&D movie, and they allowed him to publish Blackmoor material up to his death. All and all...

Likely it ties into the "Encounters" retail program. Do they allow "Encounters" overseas? The PDF sheet says they are also denying the book-trade access to these special books so any hobby store that doesn't directly deal with the WotC retail program or a WotC approved game distributor even in...

Amazing PR Move This is just an amazing PR move. This will make a lot of people very happy and win over some folks in advance of 5th edition. While helping Gail Gygax's charity drive is a very nice thing to do I can't help but think the reprints may have occurred anyway. It seems like a nice...
