Thank you for your reply, but you were indeed correct in your assertation. S&W, like 80% of retroclones is a Basic D&D clone. And should I wish to play actual 2E I can pull the books off my shelf. No I what I want doesn't exist sadly, Myth & Magic could have been it but its creator flaked hard...

For Gold & Glory is like OSRIC, essentially a 1 for 1 reprint with cleaned up language. I have actual AD&D if I want either of those. I'm looking for a fresh take that uses the same foundation.

This sounds interesting, I might have to check it out, it sounds kind of like a 1E/5E hybrid with some DCC thrown in. That mix intrigues me. As a sidenote, can we please get a 2E retroclone, I would love a properly done new coat of paint on 2E and its feel. The only one that came close was the...

Can confirm. Personally I am the only member of the two RPG groups I am in that really follows forums/news. None of them are aware of the Dragonlance thing, former employee complaints, or any of the goings on at WotC this year. The market share is so much vastly larger than the people who...

I've never partaken in Pendragon, with a new definitive edition of the game being released this might be a good time to hop in and give it a go.

This is a fair point. I personally dont mind it, but I also dont think it would fundamentally destroy kender to drop it or downplay it.

This is very well said. I view this to pretty much be the definitive answer on the subject.

That word. It is used as this like magic judges gavel to label things as bad and wrong, like the judgement it decrees is some concrete hard immutable fact, except its not. In the words of the immortal Jeff Bridges, that's just like, your opinion, man.

No, neither are elves or dwarves or warforged or mind flayers. Now from a fictional in-setting perspective absolutely, goblins run the gamut from the classic survival of the fittest might makes right kind to the the relatively peaceful goblins of Sikk'et Hul who have their own nation on...

You must not be intimately familiar with Dragonlance, there is absolutely prejudice by some against kender, they have to have jailcells specially designed for them because normal ones cant keep them in, everyone watches their coinpurse when a kender is around. Conversely some treat them as a...

Regardless of ones personal opinions on the inherent racism or lack thereof within fantasy species as presented in D&D, one thing that is going to be interesting to witness going forward is whether this course will prove a success or not. 5E was designed and heralded as the "reunite the...

Its ironic the amount of discussion about orcs in a thread about Dragonlance when orcs don't exist in Dragonlance.

I would love to read this trilogy. Its a shame it will never see the light of day.

I guess I just see it as superfluous. The move also always struck me as odd and unwise, like can you imagine Warcraft abandoning Azeroth or Elder Scrolls abandoning Tamriel? Almost unfathomable.

I have no interest in the setting. What I am curious about is if you can use this system to play a Teclis/Tyrion/Karl Franz/Balthasar/Green Knight/etc style of game in the Old World. WFRP tends towards low spectrum play and doesn't really support characters of that scale so I wonder if this...

Bring on Dragonlance, a wonderful setting that needs more love. The Knights and Wizards of the setting are among the best done concepts of those fantasy archetypes. It has a epic feel that just resonates. Also I'm in favor of a combined Planescape/Spelljammer setting, brings together all the...

I've always preferred heroic style characters and campaigns. I try to stay open minded, but I've found the current day gaming trend towards CN to be offputting, and when I've found myself in groups of such type, I generally derive little enjoyment from said games. Im not one of the OG guys...

Gyor, would the Slayer class from Kingmaker not also be included in WotR?

2nd Edition has my favorite version of clerics...which is not to say the base cleric presented in the PHB, but rather Specialty Priests, which good lord, are just amazing in feel and flavor. The trio of Faiths & Avatars, Demihuman Deities, and Powers & Pantheons are still probably my favorite...

A nice slate Lawrence. Is there any news on either Mythic Greece or the Classic Fantasy Unearthed Companion?
