Okay, that's true. I guess my argument isn't constructed too well. You know, I guess I just need to come to the realization that I've been playing this game for about 33 years and that I'm a die-hard fan of classic fantasy and Gygaxian game design, and that my taste in what I expect D&D to be...

If the game does, in fact, use more Tolkien-like classes and races (like this fat halfling that they're speaking of and the Aragorn-type ranger), then that suits my style of D&D just fine. But words are wind. We'll see.

Call it what you want, but that isn't D&D to me and I won't play or buy it. Simple as that. I don't like almonds in my candy bars either, so I don't but candy bars with almonds. I don't hate them or wish them ill will, I just buy and enjoy other candy bars.

I will say that I really want to like this new edition. I want WotC to win me over. We'll see, but some of today's reveals have left me less excited.

Yeah man, I have all the AD&D books I need, but I did call my local shop and pre-ordered a set the day they were announced. Looking forward to the cover art reveal.

I'm not unhappy. WotC can make any version of D&D that they want and I'd still be happy. I will just keep playing AD&D. I guess I'm selfish, but if the core basic of this new edition isn't super simple with just archetype classes and the four classic races, then I won't be involved. I see the...

Yeah see, they're losing me by the minute. But, to be fair, I'm sure I'm not their target audience.

You know, you're right. I don't know what I was expecting to be honest. You know, WotC is concerned with making a D&D that "feels" like D&D. There's only one thing they need to do to accomplish that. They don't need playtest. They simply need to read Gary Gygax's D&D and make a game that evokes...

Well, damn. After following the live tweets of the seminar I'm not all that excited about D&DNext. A DM that only wants to run a basic game using only the core (like me) with players that want complex, mini-based combat just won't work and I have no interest in such a game. Sucks, I was hoping...

Thanks for sharing this Merric, very inspiring! I want to share that I'm also starting a new AD&D campaign. Tomorrow night is our first session. I have five players. The campaign is set in the Savage Frontier of the Forgotten Realms and they'll be exploring a dungeon in the Rauvin Mountains. I...

Looks like WotC is listening to you Morrus: Amazon.com: Ed Greenwood Presents Elminster's Forgotten Realms: A Dungeons & Dragons Supplement (9780786960347): Wizards RPG Team: Books

Oh I surely am. Actually, I'm so excited that I convinced my players to allow me to switch our current weekly game from HackMaster to AD&D 1st.

WotC: now add AD&D 1st edition support to D&Di and I'll happily subscribe and give you my money! I'm talking Dungeon and Dragon articles, especially Dungeon adventures.

My eyes filled with tears as I read this news. Thank you WotC, thank you very much. Now just make them easy to get for folks without a local game shop, PLEASE!

I run a weekly HackMaster campaign and we love it, so my vote is for HM!

That would be beyond cool, but I think we have a better chance of getting Gygax to design 5th than it happening.

I consider the spellplague so stupendously stupid that, yes, I would wholeheartedly embrace denying it remain a part of the Realms' history. To be frank, I could care less what other fans of the Realms think about any era of the history. But that's just my opinion, of course. I'm just one guy...

Right, I saw this quote, thanks. But I don't see where they say anything about undoing the spellplague event.

Right, thanks. I've read those quotes, but I don't see where they say that they're toning down or undoing the spellplague. No big deal, just thought I missed something.

The part that I underlined, can you tell me where you've seen WotC say this is their intent?
