So basically we've got something of a semi-official "Legends" split on the various campaign settings, while not making a thing about it the same way Disney & Lucasfilm did.

They did new corebooks for Smith and Capaldi as well.

Yes, "Where There's A Whip, There's A Way"

But they also had books announced and ready to print - IIRC I remember people talking about books they had written, had submitted for publication, and had been paid for (particularly the Annihilation Event Book), but were not published.

The point is, the last two Marvel tabletop RPGs, one published in house, the other published by a third party, were cancelled by Marvel internal management very abruptly. Now, frankly, with the diceless game, while the official reason is it wasn't selling as well as D&D, the game's...

True - but Marvel did do that when they canceled their previous attempt at making an internally published tabletop RPG - Marvel Diceless - with several sourcebooks ready to go - because it wasn't selling as well as the recently released D&D 3rd Edition.

They've been getting into some stuff with alternate Drow Cities that aren't evil (artic Drow and jungle Drow), with keeping the Lloth Worshippers evil - so I could see them doing something with tweaking the story to introduce those other Drow populations, maybe.

Possibly Vecna as a Black (mana) Planeswalker. Mordenkainen would probably be in Blue, Elminster in White or White/Red.

I might add a unique magical effect where the user of the staff can tell if a food item has reached their desired degree of "doneness" - i.e. whether that roast they put in the oven has reached medium-rare, maybe letting them know if it's unevenly done so they know need to rotate it or flip it.

I mean - the Drow always felt like they took a lot of cues from the Melnibonians, so the shift makes sense. Also, a branch of elves that were predominantly underground and had serious problems with sunlight would probably also have a melanin problem, so this feels like the right move for me.

I'm just going to say - if you're going to sell what is glorified print-it-yourself graph paper release from a time that (on the Quadrille Graph Paper front) you couldn't go down to the grocery store and buy a pad of 1/4" graph paper, maybe bundle the two releases together and sell them at $.99...

Well, this puts them at the full Lodoss! Replay/Actual Play: Check! Tabletop RPG material: Check! Sequential Art: Check! Animated Adaptation: Check! Prose Fiction: finally, Check! Arguably, you could say that Lodoss has a video game over Critical Role at this point, but that's kind of just...

I like these, though you'd need to do something special to distinguish the collector's book from Art & Arcana. Make it the annotated editions of Chronicles & Legends and I'm in. Definitely agree with this, along with getting a more diverse group of media figures - but instead of doing this as...

First character death was my first D&D character, a Magic-User, in my first adventure, Keep on the Borderlands, after a fight with some rats when he failed his save vs. disease.

I do a little of both. The majority of orcs are closer to Elder Scrolls (or, for that matter, Earthdawn) style Orcs - they exist in the world and have their own culture. Grummush (if I decide to use him) instead is basically a companion deity of Hextor, one of his generals in his quest to...

I think this is one of those cases where time has not been kind to the issue due to the advancement of technology - nowadays taking screen shots of a game or computer program is pretty easy. Back then, you would have had to set up a physical camera, and hope you took the photo at the right point...

I'll also say that depending on the setting your using, it can be incredibly fast to create a character. In Sprawlrunners, the serial-numbers-filed-off version of Shadowrun for Savage Worlds, I was able to create a group of 5 characters on my own in a couple of hours (at about 15-20 minutes per...

I actually got my copy of the Catacomb Guide autographed by Janell Jaquays at the last Portland Retro Gaming Expo (she gave a talk on the level design for Quake II).

Not too surprised by this - after LoadingReadyRun saw their local dollar stores carried Magic Cards, they put together a draft stream using a bunch of aftermarket M:TG boosters from a Dollar Store, to see if it was something that would be playable. I'm not surprised RPG dice are showing up as...
