I loved the pre-Tasha period and even the following but up to Tasha's D&D5 was an oxymoron, it was a thoroughly modern throw back game. Early on when it was just the PHB and then SCAG it felt very much like a best of previous editions suped up like a hot rod. Then Xanathar came and that still...

Tasha only makes sense if she then stabs everyone in the back to put her son in the center.

We made sure that people had a place to play and based a lot of our ordering on that. WHat games they chose to run determined what we actually sold on the shelfs.

Yeah that was the time frame and I remember it being a issue back to the 90s. It squelched a lot of hot games. I can remember the game store I frequented in the 90s having all these cool Deadlands books and yet they never got a core book in. The owner would just say "you can come in and learn to...

When I took over managing the game/comic store I worked at the RPG section was woeful. Lots of Vampire & Shadowrun book but no core rules for example. Lots of unsellable D20stl (3.5 was a few years out and they were all the QUintessential books from Mongoose) books as well. The owner asked me...

Much better than some gold shoes that recently were shown off.

I only back Reaper, Goodman Games & Free League at this point. There are a few others I will look at and decide. My wife really wanted Obojima for example but we also have had very fun experiences with 1985. I also would back Ral Partha or someone trusted by Goodman Games.

Was this ever on iOS or was it during the non-Jobs period of Apple when no one cared?

I wouldn't consider him a pile of crap, he's not a twitter junkie attacking LGBT etc on twitter for think female space marines would be cool and calling John Blanche a tourist. I won't support him or Milo's boy who does ACKS but ya know that's a different grade too.

THis is why when the original Dungeon Crawl Classics module line launched I stocked them in the FLGS I managed, those old school maps. Goodman has always done the best job at that old school design and WOTC made the right choice in Saltmarsh, why mess with what is dang near perfect?

That is like, not to bring politics into it, saying Dr. Jill Biden shouldn't be called Doctor. They put in the work for their doctorates, they earned them and just because you disagree with their political stance doesn't mean you can erase their earned titles. It's not like, and I am one so I am...

DCC is my favorite with the best adventures. You have different flavors for DCC as well with Lankhmar filling the more AD&D1e style adventures, less gonzo, very evocative of Lieber's early to middle period Lankhmar materials. Dying Earth fills that odd, Vancian approach to pre-apocalyptic, end...

We were doing that in 1e. We called it the "Backpack of Necessities" and all of had the contents marked in our PHB and a note on our agreed upon cost of the item. This carried over into 2e as well because it just made sense. We also said a wizard had a "common components pouch" for all his level...

Right? OSE is already so, I don't know, perfect? It is 100% the best representation of TSR era D&D in my opinion. Sure classic BX was pretty good and BECMI had its strengths but OSE just does it all better and that probably because Gavin wasn't restricted to a boxed set format and was basically...

Yeah he's had that since I think 2e? I could be wrong. He was never blinged out though.

Yeah let's be honest, Saltmarsh is one of the consistently better sellers as well. I think it was top 5 or 6 for D&D products for a couple years.

Needs a maybe option. I plan to buy the core rules but we play DCC so it may or may not be adopted. We also have Dragonbane and Dungeon Dwellers come to us.

well he doesn't have the Book of Vile Darkness in his rib cage for one. He didn't wear a gauntlet, or have two eyes. He wasn't colored like a Daemonette of Slaanesh. He had a very yellow pallor. Sometimes he was shown with the BoVD. He seems to have taken on the persona from Critical Role vs the...

It would sell me on D&Done that's for sure. I planned to get the core rules anyway but it would be a boost.

Considering 5e Vecna is very different from older Vecnas I would say its a pseudo-reboot. As far as the timeline, I am sure they won't be too concerned with that considering time travel OOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRR they could bump the timeline forward for the adventure, especially since so much is...
