You must be a role-player, then. *That's* the trouble. Pssst...be careful. The number-crunching, mix/maxing, powergaming munchkins will eat you alive... ;)

Look, ma! Over there! Clutching his shiny new COMPLETE ARCANE and combing eagerly through the boxes of random minis! It's.... YAOWFB (Yet Another Oversensitive WotC Fanboy) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Hey, me too! Cool. Long live 3.0!!! And seriously, in 15 years from now when all the young punks are opening their shiny new Player's Handbooks for D&D 6th edition (actually, it'll probably be at least 10th edition by then), I'll leaning forward in my rocking chair, yelling out, "Eh? What's...

OD&D is the only real rpg. crappy rpgs are pale imitations of the real thing. :D

Not quite true. If the 2e core books or splat books are in mint or near-mint condition, they will definitely sell. The condition the books are in is the big factor. But there *are* a lot of 2e players out there, plus a lot of collectors. If the core books are the original edition from...

The problem is that you seem to be assuming that these decisions are made by gamers, but they aren't. They are made by the suits at Hasbro, and as has already been mentioned, they see great profitability in the Magic: the Gathering model. Hell, why *shouldn't* they release 4th edition in the...

Not to be rude or anything, but who cares? I've found my dream system in 3.0. When 3.5 came out three weeks after 3.0 was released, I rolled my eyes at the blatant (and cynical) WotC cash grab. I'll be playing 3.0 for the rest of my life, in all likelihood. The rest of you can eagerly run...

Quality over quantity, my friend. Mongoose books tend to have, what, 10,000 typos each? ;) Although I must confess that for typos it was hard to top Urban Arcana. :\ Me too. I've always found Darwin's World to be too "Mad Max" for my taste, and not enough "Rabid Mutant Plant and Crazed...

Which is cool. As you mentioned, if I can use it as a toolkit to effectively run an old-skool Gamma World campaign, I'll be more than satisfied. :)

Agreed. Omega World was more like a parody of Gamma World than an actual Gamma World. Great game for what it is, but not what I want in Gamma World.

Was 1e Gamma World only 48 pages? Man, hard to believe. That book was SAH-WHEEET. But I agree completely. 96 pages is actually quite a bit if used correctly. I was flipping through the AD&D 1e Player's Handbook the other day and amazed at how much raw information is packed in that book, and...

[Looks around, nervous, trembling] I didn't do nothin'!!! ;)

In a naive attempt at heading off the brewing flamewar, let me just say that I am truly thrilled about D20 Apocalypse. If this book is good, it could single-handedly bring me back to D20 Modern. I am an old-school, die-hard Gamma World fan from back in the day. I'm talkin' 1980, folks. I'm...

One could argue that the "lamer" and "loser" comments were provoked. If your only comment on his writing is "blech", and if you feel the need to say that you avoid anything with his "claws" on it, well, you aren't making yourself look particularly clever. More like childish name-calling...

I think this book has suffered from an unfair dismissal by many D&D DMs, but man, do I love it. My wife is joining my new Planescape 3.0 campaign in January, and she's never played an RPG before. She's currently reading through the Hero Builder's Guidebook and loving it. It truly is an...

I think the Dummies books are excellent, though you'll hear a lot of pretentious comments from people on these and other forums that say things like "A DUMMIES book? What a joke! Those books are garbage!" and stuff like that. For what the Dummies books are trying to accomplish, they do it...

I wasn't trying to be condescending or even sarcastic. I was just trying, unsuccessfully, to be funny. :\ Should have added a smiley, though. Sorry for the confusion. ;) Just for the record, I actually found your post about the Dark Ages to be quite interesting... Later!

Yeah, but he got to make a long post about what the "Dark Ages" really is and tried to look smart in the process.

See, that's just it. I suspect most of the people buying this book will *already* be D&D fans. I can't imagine that this book is going to "spread the word" or anything.
