"powered by Modiphius' 2d20 System," For the ignorant, like myself, what does this system (at least or best) compare to?

Well reasoned assumptions.

I used to own it before moving to France, but sold a lot I didn't store, that included. I read Role Aids more often at the beginning and grew to appreciate their layout, art and maps, so I contd collecting when I could but never got around to reading all, this one included

Well. It's mostly a matter of historical recounting at this point; there is some unfinished business out there for some, and for some who never recovered from being run over by them. There was a lot of "sweeping it under the rug" with the thought of, well, it'd remain there. Karma's a thing...

As I note in the semi-biopic novel that I'm finishing, Lake Geneva Days, TSR's business acumen was zero. IP theft (WotC instituted a relief/settlement program for such claims many years ago), lawsuits, backstabbing among themselves and others, broken contracts, nepotism, and the list goes on...

Close. Did they invite you for tea and a slice? ;) Or just offer a "slice"?

Believe it or not Tom DeSanto (having not read either the game or the novels by Mohan, et al) thought that this Gygax property was prime for development (there's a follow-up to the story of how he was dissuaded from that route). The best product put out by NIPI was Bob Blake's Town of Baldemar.

Already made a request through Aaron Leeder at Noble Night Games to send me a copy that was in stock. As we are friends I doubt there will be a problem. Thanks for the offer!

Hehe. Well, they may have s-d the pooch, but they left some good offspring behind, no? I quit in 1976 (but was made job offers in 1980 and 1985 to return) so I take no responsibility for their antics. This article actually surprised me as I learned of some I had not been aware of.

You have earned Knight OMS status in the Castle & Crusade Society (which I can confer as its last executive), for I found the title on that list and that I've been wanting to acquire for many years. Now to find the gem. :)

Thankee! Robilar will fly over a check it out...

In that case where does it stand now @Morrus ?

Yes. They were good for that. I've been seeking a particular one in the line. I wonder if there's a comprehensive and sequential Listing of their addies and SBs online. Will have to search when time allows. Can't remember the title but would sure know it by the description.

Like Role Aids. Unfortunately I have to agree about DJ, but that's the risk all creators take, me included. But back to TSR and Lawsuits & Licenses...

Great article by Shannon! I recall talking with Mayfair Games at DragonCon #1, 1987, while I was pushing Creations Unlimited AD&D compatible products that the Dragon Magazine refused to let me advertise in the 'zine. Mayfair told me if I needed any legal-end information they'd freely offer it...

I have repeatedly said over the years that the GH fandom is one large problem re WotC's inclination to revive the setting. How much this factor has now become a convenient excuse for the latter is debatable. While waiting for the next crust of bread to be thrown to the GH "beggars" below mayt...

Yes. Greyhawk was a true reflection of the rules in that everything is basically a neutral slant that placed prospective DMs and players alike in a safer place to grow and learn through. A product-setting of the times that matured as the player base and rules did.

Hi Quickleaf. Thanks for the nod. I have spoken with Luke Gygax many times and we have talked about possible future cooperation given a successful conclusion of what has been an ongoing mess re the Gygax Estate. To summarize, there are three principals involved in that outcome: Gail Gygax...

Maybe so, maybe not. Greyhawk fandom is forever stranded in the middle of the road and run over from both directions. I have no skin in this anymore. I have been GH's biggest champion and battlefield general for years. I am quite left with the feeling that Napoleon must have had when asked by...

I posted a short article on creating memorable story arcs in the Original Greyhawk and Kalibruhn campaigns and with my age-old villain, the evil wizard Zayene, as the focus. Created in 1973 he still "lives" today and even has an unpublished short story written on him, The Jungle Temple. I am...
