Yeah, exactly what I'm after.

"The Jocks"? Jesus Christ. I guess I probably shouldn't tell you about John, the Tolkien-reading, D&D playing, STAR TREK watching linebacker I knew in high school...!

"You must spread some Experience Points around before giving it to Umbran again" Well, you know what, screw you bulletin board software. Umbran, here's some XP. You're right.

I take an arrow to the knee. Now that my mixed memes are out of the way... something I'd like to see returned to D&D in N are non-nerfed monsters, specifically the rust monster. Now, I can take an AD&D rust monster, call it a dire Rust Monster, and put it in 4e. Keep the rust monster...

Yeah, because that's just crazy talk, and FORD would never, ever do such a thing.

I said 1st-10th, but I would love it if an AD&D game I was in or ran went past that, even to 20th+ level. Time is a big factor in that though.

I want options for new things for people who want new things. I don't want to alienate people who like blink elves, massive skill trees, and that sort of thing. Good lord, no. That's the whole point. We can all share in this so long as none of us - the grumpypants original D&D fans all the...

Who cares, though? I'd certainly love it if each and every person who bought the reprinted AD&D books played the game and fell in love with it and played it to the exclusion of all other RPGs. But here's the thing - if this sells out in days or weeks and everyone except me buys their copy to...

There's "selling out" and there's "selling out". The TSR SILVER ANNIVERSARY boxed set "sold out" eventually. I bought mine in like 2003, four years after it was released. There are still unsold copies available through 3rd party resellers. Only 5000 were printed, IIRC. If WIZARDS OF THE...

It won't. Not a new edition of D&D. And it will. Now let me explain the dichotomy: If WIZARDS OF THE COAST is smart enough - and I think they've learned how to handle things smartly, now - what they will do is provide outlets for people, like me, like others, who want to play AD&D. Or...

what No, seriously. I went on an atrocity tour of ...other... gaming sites and you know what? The one place I thought would be full of weeping and wailing and oh-noes and "our precious fore-eeh saves it from the naaasty furst addition!" was almost universally positive about this. PENNY...

Hm! This requires some second-tier economic analysis, then! To the Batcave, Robin! Since we have a range, let's take this first. Briefly, it breaks out like so: 1977 24,412.02 1978 25,502.52 1979 26,009.97 For the average D&D buyer of the era, based on national GDP. Now. Fast forward to...

HA! Good catch. Now let me get you the number of my accountant, a Mr. Madoff...

Oh, to be confronted with such a problem...!

As has been mentioned elsewhere, that price isn't "premium". It is exactly in keeping with the prices the core books were from 1977-1979. 1977 - MONSTER MANUAL - $9.99*. $9.99 in 1977 dollars is $37.08 in 2011 dollars. 1978 - PLAYERS HANDBOOK - $12.99** $12.99 in 1978 dollars is $44.82 in...

It's Name Level in AD&D, and yes, it's awesome. Not sure what the point back in original D&D was when you could strike out on your own and build a keep...

Now is definitely the time to clear out old gaming stuff you don't play with any more - even if it's old 1e stuff! ("Dear WOTC, please accept these never-been-used MANUAL OF THE PLANES, WILDERNESS SURVIVAL GUIDE and DUNGEONEERS SURVIVAL GUIDE and the shredded remnants of ORIENTAL ADVENTURES in...
