It's funny how different the pre-internet world was. This magazine was from 4 months before I started playing D&D. I've mentioned earlier in the thread that we had some photocopied of earlier Dragon articles we used. But we didn't have a gaming store in our town (the bookstore in the mall...

If you're learning new rules anyway, I'd say just run BloodBowl as-is.

Audiobooks for driving, traditional paper books for loafing. I can usually get my wife to agree to listen to a book that I pick (don't ask how - this is the only time I always get my own way and I haven't figured it out yet myself), and I can always find the time to squirrel myself away in a...

Well, at least it's internally consistent. Someone who loves the action and adventure of drizzit & company would probably be bored to tears by no end of other genre books. :P FWIW I have every Salvatore book and every Jordan book within arms' reach at this very moment.

I reckon that we are understimating this particulat element. This is the one that none of my non-gamer peeps understand.

I used the Art Object and Gem tables out of this book for years and years.

I like most of the things mentioned here. The one that I like a lot that hasn't been mentioned is this: I really like the divorcing of Strength from all melee attacks. All I need to see is one Con-based melee class and my life will be complete. :)

Of course it is. It just makes the old-school version of Athas history a bit less easy to swallow (unless you embrace the NPCs are not following PC rules philosophy, which certainly solves many problems).

I'm 99% on board with 4E Darksun. My last lingering concern is that one of the central conceits isn't exactly as valid anymore. It's only a minor thing, but it's been bothering me for a while. When the first version of DarkSun came out, mages were the kings of D&D. High level mages clearly...

Do you mean "dawizard"?

My barbarian with Agile Opportunist and Heavy Blade Opportunity routinely begs the party wizard to Thunderwave him...

I followed all the 3E rumours here back in '99/'00, then drifted away for a few years. Came back for the 4E rumours, and this time I'm sticking around.

I should add too: 20:1 for use of ENWorld, maybe 8:1 for the WotC boards (even there I'm the only real poster, but there are a few lurkers).

I have no problem imagining an admixture of traditional RPG implements (books, paper, dice, miniatures, battle grids) and technological aids (e-books, CB, dice rolling software, and alternate creature and environment visualization schemes) being able to help rather than hinder the roleplaying...

I will keep buying Players Handbook N as long as they keep putting them out. I purchased DMG I and MM I but I did not purchase DMG II or MM II, and I won't be purchasing further DMGs unless they really surprise me with some sort of content, or MMs (nothing they put in these will make me buy)...

I'm also at the point where I like everyone left. I like Rogue least (my personal choice for a winner in the end would be Barbarian, but if he doesn't drop this round I'm sure he'll drop next round, so I lose lol).

I kind of suspect that this is why we never really had anyone play them when I was learning to play. We were all about hack/slash, but not at all about tactics or strategy. Anyone who tried a MU ended up a steaming pile of goo early in the first session (unless playing a multi-classed gish of...

Went to a new school for high school, joined up with an existing group by early October. I have no exact memory of first broaching the subject (was I invited, or did I ask to join for instance?), but it was very natural for me. Zero to king of the munchkins* in about 2 weeks. *I still hold my...

Answer to question in thread topic: no. But then, I'm a reasonably uncommon corner case. I (only) play RPGA games, so other than a brief time early in the decade when the RPGA had a couple of 3PP campaigns, I've never had much actual use for 3PP stuff (although I approve of the idea in general).
