Thanks for the info, I did not know that. Wow, this makes this whole project even more incomprehensible to me.

Baldur's Gate II used AD&D 2e rules, despite coming out in 2000 and, AFAIK, it was very well received.

Yes, that's what I think as well. Goodman is not acting on bad faith, IMO, but he seems somewhat oblivious to the greater implications. Or perhaps, more accurately, his very strong desire to make this product, is making him rationalize the decision.

When disagreeing... the only course of action is to

Hopefully we'll get about ten thousand years of early access...

I'm not whining, I'm stating an opinion. Something I hate far more than metaplot is this kind of aggressive style of discussion.

Indeed. I used to like Golarion, but the amount of metaplot is staggering and I hate metaplot. Give me a setting and then let me play in it. If you want to tell a story, write a cycle of novels...

It's almost like the ratio between the discount and the full price remained constant! :p

Goodman's next video:

You say that like it was a bad thing.

Yes, but I wonder if, paradoxically, being so unclear actually turned out to be an advantage for D&D. Different folks saw different things in the game and thus it maybe was far more successful than it would have been otherwise.

Yes, exactly. And I'll go out on a limb and suggest that the huge majority of users didn't notice or didn't care.

Why are you calling Lorraine Williams as Kathleen Kennedy? Is it because Kennedy has been also attacked by rabid Star Wars "fans"?

This looks fake to me. I mean, where does he find the time to game with four young kids at the same time? :unsure:

Same. I bought at least a thousand ebooks on Kindle, but I stopped the day they removed the option to download a copy on a PC.

Dwarven resilience grants advantage on saves vs poison (or to end the poisoned condition in 2024),

I tend to tire pretty quickly, since there is a tendency for reiterating points over and over and entrenching in one's positions.

I have the books. I've never run the system "per se", but I've lifted some stuff for AD&D. It's post-UA AD&D on steroids. If this had been available in the late 80's, I think that my brain would have exploded with joy... :D Nowadays, I prefer things to be a bit simpler.

"Belong?!I I'm a free bird!" squawks indignantly the parrot.

Yes, I can fully empathize. However, I must admit, that back when I bought it, I really didn't have a clear idea of what Castle Greyhawk was supposed to be. I was still very disappointed in the module and I thought that it was extremely lame. I've never used it.
