Does anyone think (or know) whether this is an indication that Goodman Games are going to release some Moorcock-related RPG material? I'm an absurdly huge fan of Mike and his work and loved Mongoose's take on the material but I'm always up for some more takes on the Multiverse. Can't wait to...

Wonderful work. I did something very similar for Dark Sun, making a series of 2e hardbacks for the line. I love this kind of thing :)

We play B/X on Thursdays and AD&D2e on Saturdays and Sundays (the latter is a streamed game, the other two are home games), so we get lots of D&D in each week :) (If schedules allow, we also play Torg Eternity on Wednesdays and World of Darkness on Fridays, but those don't count for the...

No. It's not really an actual adventure. There are a couple encounters/combats, a couple roleplaying interaction, a maze, a brief overview of the town, but that's about it. The main thrust of the adventure is to handle mass battles around the castle, with Battlesystem stats provided. The 2e...

I'll no doubt treat 6e (or whatever it ends up being called) the same as I treat 5e - a source of cool ideas to steal, art to use, resources to plunder. It's all meat for the all-devouring machine that is my wildly houseruled AD&D2e system that keeps my games chugging along. In the larger scheme...

The Elven Point of View and related series of articles were very enjoyable. Gave us some good ideas for roleplaying as non-humans. The one on orcs and half-orcs totally rewrote the way we used them in our games. Excellent stuff.

Another vote for both Old School Essentials (for that B/X feel, with or without Advanced options) or Swords & Wizardry Complete (for that OD&D plus supplements feel). Both are very, very close to their respective inspirations in both feel and mechanics. Many OSR games, while excellent games in...

Dark Sun, original edition. The revised DS box is really cool for the expanded area it covers, but the original has a feel and atmosphere that is unmatched for me, a lightly sketched world just dripping with adventure. We're over thirty sessions into streaming a run through the classic DS...

In some games, yes, high-level characters settled down and became rulers of principalities, castles, cities, and whatnot. In others, they continued to live the adventuring life. And it has been both foreground (one group wrote out an extensive constitution for their principality) while in others...

I basically did what @delericho said. I told them that the new campaign (set in a familiar area) would start out like the previous arc but would then get weird. They were on board with that, and off we went. Now, neck-deep in the horrors of Slumbering Tsar, they look back on their days on the...

Bespoke, mostly, although it's a bit of a mish-mash. I started gaming in Holland in the early 80s and it was nigh-impossible to find gaming stuff, so from the start I was running games in a bespoke homebrew setting because from what I could tell, that's what you were supposed to do. I hoovered...

I just got through running the first half of Tale of the Comet (the players declined to accompany the Rael back to their own universe after thwarting the invasion of our campaign world) and it was very interesting in play. It made for some really unusual dynamics and interactions - we had lots...

Yep - Carrick is a moderate sized standard castle in great condition. Bamburgh is much larger and a little more modern but is a wonderful location, both its grounds and where it is situated on the coast. Alnwick is somewhat between the two in size but has more extensive grounds. It featured in...

It is exactly the point. Modern gamers are more diverse than that, just as pre-modern societies were more diverse than your broad-strokes interpretation suggested.

Plenty of us don't. You know, not being from the USA and all...

Vince? Ouch. I founded Darker Days Radio with him back in the day - we worked closely together for a couple years and I never saw anything that suggested that he's cut from the same cloth as these guys. If he's thrown in his lot with this bunch of idiots, that's really sad :(

Yes. I've had a few characters in my games make it up to 20th level or higher, with several others in the mid to high teens. Some have even managed to ascend to divinity. It's pretty cool to see someone play a cleric of a character who was in the game 20 years ago and is now a deity. I love...
