Hirst Arts is nice; I have a tower someone gave me once upon a time, and someone else was kind enough to build and paint for me (thanks Gregg and Scott, in that order). Before I decided what gaming terrain to buy, I looked at a lot of things, and tried some. Flat "battlemaps" are...meh, okay...

I'd like to see more brick and mortar shops dedicated to tabletop gaming, brick and mortar shops that embrace the fact that while they cannot compete with a guy working out of his garage, offering 30% discounts on books, they can offer so much more - a clean, well-lit, friendly gaming...

Good use of the font ;) With that said, this is a good question and may I get to it tomorrow as it is pretty late here? I will preface it by saying that MAURE CASTLE was perhaps a bad example on my part as it is less conversion of MORDENKAINEN'S FANTASTIC ADVENTURE and more [i]sequel to...

No, not at all. On the contrary, I bring up MAURE CASTLE as featured in DUNGEON Magazine as a shining example of a good conversion. That's what I'm after here - good conversions. Not ill thought out ones that, for example, reduce a dungeon (be it relatively complex in my hypothesis about S4)...

The cognitive dissonance in your post is staggering. Let me restate since you seem to be misconstruing what I said: I. Would like. To see. Better. Conversions. And. I think. Said conversions. Would. Probably. Help. WotC.

If you feel I'm "edition bashing" by saying "this is what could be done to make an edition more appealing to me" then by all means, whatever gets your coffee percolating in the morning, sir. That isn't the case, but clearly I can't disabuse you of that despite a clarification, so.

Can I just jump back in here and say this isn't a 4e versus older editions matter? It's in the context of getting the feel of the adventures right, by which you (you being WotC) might attract myself and other players who prefer vintage D&D games to what is currently being offered under the D&D...

Welp, I'm glad for you, and I'm glad that's all you took away from it.

I guess the 1e, 2e, OD&D tag is gone...So "History" then? Anyway. The question was brought up - or rather, I broached the subject, of conversions. There's the initial idea of "Well why does it matter to you, you're down in the 'won't play 4e' column already, we know that". Well, let me just...

Since you might be looking at this, Mr. Mearls, could you please set about to fixing the typo in the 4e PHB intro, and stop* converting AD&D modules over to encounter format modules with screwed up maps? Thanks. *=WotC. I don't think you yourself are doing it. But since you now have all the...

You didn't read through the module first before running it?

It's wrong to slam Gary on T1-4's lateness considering what was going on in TSR at the time. Cut a guy some slack for God's sake.

The DRAGONLANCE modules and the DESERT OF DESPAIR modules are terrible. Your characters will go here. They will do this, and they have to survive. If they don't, you, the DM, make up a reason that they did. Up to and including being saved by a powerful NPC. I6 is particularly heinous (yes...

I sympathize with the OP, I really do. I too am in (Central) Florida and I have seen game stores die one after the other here. Enterprise 1701 was sold, moved across town, and is now part of the Sci-Fi City "chain" (there's a store in NC and one in GA). I can't figure out what they sell...

Hey, I'm with you 100% though. I know what kind of webforum I run. If somebody put whole swaths of 1e books up? Man I'd kill those posts without flinching. Doubly so if WotC sent the stark fist of removal. (I never got communiques from The Rouse at any rate) Well best of luck man.

AH. Not cool. Okay then! The twitter was a tad...dramatic.

From Morrus' twitter: "Eeek. WotC has its lawyers send us letters about member posts now? I miss The Rouse!"

I can't fathom reading but not playing. That's like collecting and hoarding rare guitars ... without listening to music, ever. To paraphrase Frank Zappa, reading about RPGs is like singing about architecture.

Get over yourselves. No, really. Get over yourselves. Once upon a time, being a fan of Original D&D or AD&D or even the various flavors of Basic D&D and having a web presence meant not only talking about how cool you thought those games were, but providing a little something that other people...

What? No, I wouldn't want anything drawn from 2e. Not at all. Wish I could change my vote. Reprint the old books, but for goodness' sake don't fart around with the rules, thank you.
