    CA, Orange County - Old School Campaign Seeks Greyhawk Faithful

    Hey there, fellow gamers, We're looking to round out our groups with some experienced and mature players who are familiar with the Greyhawk setting, enjoy a bit of light-hearted banter, and live to roll the d20. We throw down weekly with hideous abominations so a bit of courage would be needed...

    Rate S1: The Tomb of Horrors (corrected poll options)

    Yeah, that pretty much nails it, but we can do without someone's assumptions about gaming foisted off on us like the rule of law. Sadly, that's what this module seems to generate from those ill-equipped to deal with such challenges. If you don't like the module, don't whine and cry about it...

    Rate S1: The Tomb of Horrors (corrected poll options)

    Whatever, paladin boy.

    Rate S1: The Tomb of Horrors (corrected poll options)

    So all of your characters stayed together and entered rooms at the same time? You never took any slaves or hirelings with you as cannon fodder? Sheesh, I can see why you thought of it as arbitrary. Think outside the box, man. That's what we had to do once our only surviving character escaped...

    Rate S1: The Tomb of Horrors (corrected poll options)

    For those whining about the difficulty of the module, let's remember that it's The Tomb of HORRORS,' not 'The tomb of fluffy bunnies.' 10 out of 10.

    D&D 2: Movie review (Minor spoilers)

    I still agree with Monte that 'The Gamers' is the REAL D&D movie. I hear they're making part two, as well.

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Hiya, Gary, Hope you're doing well. Forgive me if this is the umpteenth time it has been asked (I looked over some of the other questiions but had not found it), but I'm curious to know how the work on Zagyg is coming along. Last I heard, both you and Rob had finished parts one and two, but...

    A Review of 6E

    Having been reinvented five times over (FTA 2e, 3e/3.5, 4e, 4.25, 5e - and each new incarnation wiped clean thereafter), the final solution to Greyhawk is nearly upon us; Gygax's spirit has been located on Arcadia and offered full creative control of the setting. Said the great master...

    Outrage at prices

    This may be due to the fact that gamers can't get enough use out of the books to justify the cost, or that the book is somehow substandard in terms of overall quality (i.e. typos, redundant information, padding, etc.). I have books which I have not used enough to justify my buying them, but I...

    A Review of 6E

    I've been wanting to try out Gamma World 12e, but it fails to reflect the challenges of the real post-apocalyptic era.

    Record Your Ptolus Pre-Orders Here!

    "Fun?" What is this? A grand orgy of consumerism?

    Now they buy pigs

    Then again, all the violence of the constant slaughtering might have made them better fighters and less slave-like, thus ensuring a rosier future.

    What exactly makes the Greyhawk Campaign Setting

    ...and the cleric keeps an eye on the wizard.

    D&D 4E Who else is going to be a deserter when 4e comes out?

    I will most likely stay with 3.5 as I've had it with buying a new book every month. I'll wait until 5e before getting back into the consumer buying craze.

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Hi, Gary, It took me a while to get back to that initial question, but I appreciate the answer nonetheless. How about a follow-up? Of all the mosters that you have created for this game we love so much, which one surprised you the most? By that, I mean, which one had the greatest impact on the...

    Why did Hasbro buy WotC

    Not that I want Wotc to fail (or get sold), but if Pokemon was Hasbro's main reason for buying wotc, then what is their motivation for keeping the company?

    Tommy Lee Goes to College

    It'll be a tough stretch for him. They don't have any classes in wife-beating.

    Why no love for WotC? (and why now?)

    For me, the books have been hit and miss... but hit more often than not, I guess: the revision was pricy, but necessary overall; I liked the monster series (monster manuals, libris mortis, etc.); haven't liked the environment series at all; enjoyed the complete series; and have had mixed...

    I have finally arrived (as DM)

    It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.
