In 1e, the barbarian was published in Unearthed Arcana. I don't have any data, but I've always assumed that it was a very well-known book, even if not universally liked.

El Eternauta is one of the great classics, IMO. I wonder how they will make the transposition. The author was executed, along with all of his daughters by the military regime in Argentina.

True. It is also possible that he might have negotiated something before retiring.

Do we really need a "scientific" explanation though?After all, it is the same universe where spaceships make whooshing sounds, fight like WW2 fighters and fall "down" along a mysterious "vertical" axis when shot...

It is actually quite safe, provided you land during the night.

So, it seems you were quite right. Except it was more like 5 months than a few years....

I certainly agree that alignment is completely useless to simulate anything in real life. I also think that there are RPGs where I'm interested in some kind of simulation or real life. AD&D, for me, is not such a game.

Personally, I find the descriptive version of alignment completely useless. As a descriptor it is very weak. Alignment must have cosmological and rules oomph or I'd rather not use it.

For me, the best version by far, is AD&D 1e (yes, that includes alignment languages). 5e, IMHO, is the worst version and, for that reason, I never use alignment in 5e at all. As a descriptor I find it useless.

The parrot attempts to perch on the top of the paddle. He quickly falls off, barely taking flight just before plunging in the water.

I voted Librarian and Jester. I'm personally keen to see new ideas.

Unless they changed things recently, limiting something under content sharing, only precluded other participants in a campaign from reading a specific source, but all the rules options remain available for characters.

Yes, the tone appears quite aggressive. I don't know if there's a story behind it, but it does not seem conductive to a constructive dialog. And I say this as someone who considers playing AD&D/BX with ascending AC an abomination that makes baby bulettes cry...

The parrot agrees.

The time paradox has now been resolved. Please report to the nearest Man in Black so that you can be... oh, will you just look at the flashy thing, okay?

I feel differently, but I realize I'm in an ever-dwindling minority.

This thread appears to behave strangely. There are no replies, even though I was sure I had previously read some. Also, it seems "stuck" at the top of the thread list. EDIT: I see now that it has a date in the future.

What I had previously read, mentioned that the game would actually be closer to AD&D than previous versions, except for the use of specific terminology which might cause copyright infringement.

Do you have a link to this thread? I was assuming (naively?) that it was going to be as close as possible to AD&D 1e and I would like to know if this isn't actually the case.

I still love going to the theater, but I have to, sadly, concur with you. The decline will just go on.
