    Question for Mike Mearls, should you happen by...

    Uh, I hope I don't come across as a jerk but could you guys maybe ask Mike rules questions for 4e D&D in another thread? I just don't want to get lost in the maelstrom. Thanks.

    Question for Mike Mearls, should you happen by...

    Why did you put this :"...the first campaign settings (DRAGONLANCE and FORGOTTEN REALMS) were released..." in the 4e PLAYERS HANDBOOK? THE WORLD OF GREYHAWK was the first campaign released. A folio version was released in 1980, followed by a boxed set in 1983. Both predate the aforementioned...

    What do you do without balance?

    Pah, balance. Balance is the thief not failing his save v. death roll while trying to walk on that rickety board spanning the 60' deep pit filled with poison spikes (ten total, roll 1d10 if the thief falls, each spike does 1-6 points of damage and a save v. poison required, or die). :ranged...

    Swords & Wizardry?

    Been out of the loop too long. Too much bad stuff happening which requires liberal applications of escapism, so, having said that: What's the deal with SWORDS & WIZARDRY. Another AD&D-like clone? (Pardon my densosity; I'm beat tired and yes I can read the website but I'm dead tired and...

    Sleeper RPG's

    MEKTON and MEKTON:MTS along with OPERATION: RIMFIRE was a fantastic RPG. Yes, I'm saying the O:R module/adventure/sourcebook counts as part of the game itself. It was that good.

    The 3.5 renaissance!

    I know of a few pretty good free ones available. If you can pardon the one-man-band level of editing acumen. ;)

    Watchmen have brought *real* role-playing to D&D

    Not only is WATCHMEN the best comic book ever created, it has a comic book inside which is head and shoulders above most stand-alone comic books. Yeah, I said that.

    Thinking about Warhammer?

    I actually got to play (not GM) WHFRP last night. We played 2nd edition, and after playing 1st I can say that the differences feel minimal. I'd prefer variable dice rather than d10 all the time but that's just because I'm a sucker for variable granularity :) We played the scenario out of the...

    You have GOT to be kidding me.

    Presumably you're talking about Original D&D - that's as far back as can be gone. Original D&D can be had from RPGNow or DrivethruRPG for $pennies. It doesn't, or shouldn't, matter when this may have appeared in some TSR document. What matters is where it appeared to gamers, and that "where"...

    You have GOT to be kidding me.

    The literal term "name level" appears on page 8 of the Dungeons & Dragons Player's Companion (1984)—its first use in a printed rulebook that we've so far tracked down. (If you know of an earlier appearance, let us know! Sadly, even we don't have a complete set of D&D rulebooks from the '70s and...

    And another Delver's Dungeon announcement- Contest!

    Ah! Good question - yes, a set of interacting artifacts (Teeth of the Dalhver Nar, Rod of Seven Parts, Orb of the Dragonkind, etc. etc.) will be accepted as a single entry.
