I see what Panda is saying about Lost Mine. Namely, it's been so widely used as an introductory module at this point (because, frankly, it's very good at being just that) that it's getting harder to find all new players that haven't at least been partly exposed to it, even if it's just seeing it...

I voted for 2e, more because it's where I started in earnest and I still have very fond memeories of those sessions. I liked 3e when it was released for its consistency, but over time I've found the feat system to be tedious, which has persisted through to PF1 (which I still play because some of...

Great write up. As a New Jersey native (and a fan of the Devils, who were named for the creature despite playing in northern New Jersey not the pinelands) I've always had a certain fondness for this Devil. I'm going to have to use this.

If he is and I'm confusing him with others who feel the need to *bleep*post about 5e's success constantly, then I apologize.

Still trying to push that false narrative, I see. Kindly bug off.

Fantastic addition. Class guy who always has time for the fans, and just does great work. Good luck, Dan!

I must take exception to the original article's claim that D&D has abandoned the book trade. Yeah, novels have slowed to a crawl, but walk into any Barnes & Noble or Books-a-Million and you'll easily find a rather sizable display of D&D game books and related accessories. D&D is more available...

Is that when a three-hour session turns into a three-year campaign (with a follow up animated series, three TV movies – one featuring the Harlem Globetrotters – and another animated series set IN SPAAAACE!) ?

Oh, cmon, it's plain not fair to judge the artform on the work of one of the most over-hyped hacks in the industry who is now properly considered a genuinely terrible artist coasting on a thirty-year-old reputation from when he was still decent before he got lazy.

Well, I for one am glad they combined them, as keeping it one document means less flipping between them. Oh, and the one thing added that is the biggest addition of all: an actual table of contents. One with shortcuts, too. If anything, it's easier to find stuff in this PDF than ever before.

I voted medium magic, because while magic may be common for PCs and NPCs in adventures, as they tend to deal with the metaphysics of the world more, which is magical in nature. But they tend to be exceptional people, and to the ordinary populace, magic is still very mysterious and strange. So...

Not exactly. The Greyhawk version bears no actual resemblance to the full setting; it's really just a name drop from the days when no one knew anything about any of these settings, a friendly nod to the other group as a small tribute and inside reference. The other two were both written by...

There's three versions of Blackmoor. Arneson's full, standalone version was last seen as a third-party published 4e setting book. Arneson licensed back the rights and teamed with a company called Zeitgeist Games to produce a 3e version, and later a 4e version as the last thing he worked on...

Uncanny Vale. "Vale" is a thing in 4e.

No it should NOT have been the rule from day one. You seem to be willfully ignoring the fact that AL is as much if not more for new players to try out D&D than any experienced player who can't find any other game. The rule is invaluable in keeping the program open to new players instead of...

I completely agree with this. That to me was one of the worst aspects of 4e, and is a 4e-ism PF2 should not go anywhere near. There are quite a few 4e-isms in the game. That itself is not inherently a problem, but it does speak towards a more gamist approach, which is not something I prefer. I...

I expect we'll see quite a bit of that in the next quarter's results, but this was for the first quarter, which predates the Pathfinder 2e announcement (Q1 is for December through February, iinm, while PF2 was announced in early March.)

Oh, it gets more complicated than that. The original Traveller, now usually called Classic Traveller, was published by Game Designers Workshop (GDW) in 1977. They published two follow-ups in ensuing years, MegaTraveller in 1987 and Traveller: The New Era in 1993, which used entirely different...
