How so? What examples would you give of this tendency? A conclusion is one thing, but backing it up may help me understand your position better. Especially since for reasons unrelated to any setting, I was out of the loop for about a decade.

For what you've suggested, it might have helped a bit, yes, at least with some of the players, and with adapting your desired changes to the existing setting. I honestly don't know, I've not read the 3e FRCS let alone the 4e one. I don't even have the 2e books, and my 1e books are packed, so I...

Well, here's the thing, based on my experience, there's nothing WoTC can do about people with the kind of problem you're talking about. It's just not worth trying to change people's opinions. You may consider it to be sticking a head in the sand, but to me, it's not banging your head into a...

Depends on your players. This is true of many campaigns, even ones not involving the Forgotten Realms. I know one guy, you put an orange carrot before its time in a historical game, made an issue over it. Because the amount of content in any one book is limited, and it can't cover...

Once, I had a minor NPC, who became a lycanthrope, and the PC's spent the time trying to find a cure. Either that, or spreading havoc and misery with the NPC as an excuse...

Elf Dwarf Dragon Attack

I bet everybody is just using Bing! instead.

The Horseclans novels started coming out in 1975, and they feature giant intelligent cats with telepathy. Andre Norton's Horn Crown came out in 1981, which makes it a bit iffy as a potential source, but maybe there was one in another Witch World book that came beforehand. This I assume.

So many good names and so many questionable exclusions.... Let's see, of names I haven't seen. C. J. Cherryh. Like Hobb her writing can be quite dense, but you like Hobb so that's not a problem. A bit more Sci-fi than Fantasy, but not so much you have to worry about finding them. Patricia...

You can go your whole life without running into any of the archetypes, be it a canon lawyer, a rules lawyer, a munchkin, a power-gamer, a min-maxer, or whatever others you'd care to name. Doesn't mean they don't exist. Also, vampires are REAL!

Wow, there's a Highlander Card Game? Color me amazed. Interesting to see how many things totally unknown to me were nominated.

Of course, when you check the movies, you realize that this was handled by having all the characters go off on their own. Anakin wasn't with the others when he shot down the Droid control ship, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon went off to fight the Sith on his own, and Amidala was on her own when she took...

If I'm doing it, I am making an appeal to the younger generations through the nostalgic value. "Experience the ORIGINAL campaign again!" "D&D as it began" and all that stuff. The recent Pepsi Throwback campaign would be my model. Slight updates, but some original appearance.

I'm not prepared to cite any legal cases, but I believe one could have a fair chance at making the argument successfully if it were a one person to one person transfer. The Fair Use provisions of the US Copyright law, for example: In determining whether the use made of a work in any...

What's preparation?

Stryphon! From H. Beam Piper's Lord Kalven of Otherwhen series (and a short story in his other works that formed the basis of it), later continued by Roland Green and John Carr. Got to love a God with a monopoly on Gunpowder. Kalven's version of the God's of his world was pretty amusing too.

Given the number of patch day incidents that Blizzard has suffered without its product failing, I am doubtful as to that. At least when WOTC makes mistakes, I can fix them myself. Heck, even when they don't make mistakes, I can always make my own changes. Ah well, if you want the errata, it's...

alright, with a bit more detail... I see no reason why the miniboss would necessarily want to stick around, and if you felt like it, he could clean the clock of the PCs and then go off elsewhere to do more important stuff. No need to make a clean kill, and the guard's medic could come in, and...

Now if only Captain America's return is half as cool. Admittedly, the nakedness will be handled in a more oblique manner.

Well, unfortunately, your description may be too brief, as it's hard to be sure what options you might best employ without knowing any real details of the boss. But I imagine you wouldn't want your players reading this, so you may be choosing caution in that regard. Still, thoughts...First...
