It's simple and complicated at the same time. It's like motion sickness; everyone will get motion sick, some can't even handle a slow car ride, some can handle being in rocket getting pushed and shaken into orbit. But even those "tough" astronauts can be shaken until they puke. It's the same...

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking... if you mean what game was our favorite? Then my answer (and timeline) are thus: I started with Moldvay BECMI, found AD&D (and preferred for the expanded character options), then Rolemaster, then GURPS. I haven't gone back on my love since finding...

Oh I love that game. I will bludgeon the crap out of my enemies with my rock. I don't man... scissors are dangerous. I'd rather face paper, one hit with my rock and paper crumples...

By testing them. You let people play with the rules in "prearranged" tests and in "the wild". If your lucky you can get to watch most of the playtests as an "impartial observer" and ask your testers why things went as they did, get results from not only your perspective and observations but...

What is counter-intuitive is that people are taking a statement from a 2nd party as though it were a statement from WotC.

But Lanefan all those all "magical"! I mean Emerikol will be along to tell you so any minute now!

My question: Does the Iconic Housecat still murder the Icnonic Commoner? If not it isn't D&D to me.

:mad:

Okay... what some of you guys are missing is the people I know didn't have this "core/not-core" mindset. It didn't matter what book it came from, the DM said what was available in his game. DM didn't want Wizards in his campaign? No Wizards and no one once said "But, but they're core!" DM...

FEEEXED!

Second breakfast? Does he look like a Hobbit? Probably doesn't even know about second breakfast...

Oh, that's because they aren't recoiling form a sword blow. He used his Fighter ability and has broken Second Wind...

Until today I didn't know people spoke of pre-3e D&D in the terms "core/non-core". I missed half a decades worth of conversation on this topic... Same here. Well... not Gencon, but local SouthEast cons. Maybe it's a SouthEast thing. We just figured everything after Rule 0 is optional...

I don't have the 2e Player's Handbook. Anyone with an original that can post the relevant quote? I ask because my 2e pdf was created after 3rd ed (it states as much) and does support billd91's definition (but I have suspicions as to it's accuracy to the source). I clearly remember things a...

Cool share!

Previous to 3e there was no "core/not core" split, as Hussar explicitly said up thread. Everything printed by TSR for D&D was simply D&D. You either used the rules or not, no "These books are core and everything else is optional" since everything was optional. Do you grasp that concept? The...

It sounds to me as though Hobby Japan was not granted a licence and are now trying to shame WotC into rescinding that decision.

That's because 'Gamist' is "poorly defined" under GNS theory. Narrativism and Simulationism hold up fairly well. (IMO) FEEEXED EET! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You've just lost what little credibility I was extending you. That statement was absurd on it's face and false to boot. As Hussar...

Bad-Ass gob slayer's thoughts: Huh, grindin gobs in the newb zone. Man the drop rate on gob ears really sucks. Why does only one gob in 15 have a "useable" ear. Oh well... Hey, the first group is rezzing, maybe they'll have an ear...
