Oh, I could afford them, I just don't have any use for them, cause if I wanted to play 3rd edition again, I would just use what I have, (that is until they all go bye-bye to Ebay. ;) ) I am a Savage Worlds convert. Actually, you really only need the $30 rulebook if you want to create the...

Even though I no longer play d20 D&D, I was thinking of getting the new books, too. I went to the bookstore, gave them the quick once over, and realized that 1. it would be a total waste of money for something I don't use and 2. It really didn't look different or better enough for the price...

Uh, it is easy to find them. It is just that we are never in driving distance of each other. ;)

I am still looking for one with Elric and Cthulu, but won't pay a lot. Yard sales have been unlucky in these parts. I have a "players condition" copy without the two mythoi that I use all the time, (covers pretty messed up but the inside is still servicable. ) *geekitude flex* There were...

Yep. 'tis me. :) I rarely come to EN World as I no longer play d20. Most of my time is spent at the www.dragonsfoot.org message boards, as I had "re-discovered" the joy of Basic / Expert D&D and it is the home of OOP D&D. I also post a little at the www.peginc.com forums, since I love their new...

I am thinking of GMing a couple of Savage Worlds games on Friday, (I have until this Friday to decide.) I might even do a Basic / Expert D&D game if the mood strikes me right. For those that have been, I wrote one of the staff but they never got back to me. I have loads of gaming stuff I no...

What sort of conversion are you looking for? I have the same Black box and might be able to help.

Thanks Henry. Between this and the Wilderlands thread, I am spending a few minutes here. :) Anyone know anymore official info on this? I would love to get in on the design or playtest of this thing, (considering I already did a similar collection of rules to 5th level.)

Wilderlands IS the only commercial setting I will use. It is exactly the type of setting I envison for D&D. Lots of room to roam, no little pockets of 1st level monsters, no centralized government, (when not exactly, but not King and kingdoms like in classical fantasy.) When Clark says the are...

I agree with this too. It should be totally playable on its own and self contained, but still able to springboard more "hungry" players into full version d20 if they desire.

I wholeheartedly agree. :) At first I was very skeptical. Now, I really really hope that Wizards doesn't botch this. This could be the product I was been trying to write for myself for the past 2 years.

What is the difference between this and the failed Adventure Game?!?! Answer: very little. Forget all this hogwash about splitting the market. There is a vast audience out there, like me, who do not buy 3rd ed products at all, because of the complexity of the added stuff on top of the Basic...

Growing up on 1st ed AD&D, I love rolling random things. ;) How generic is this book? Can it be used for other games too, beside d20?

Thanks for taking the time to write your post. You brought up some good points. Consider me a Ex Tempoire Play style player/GM. This is one of the reasons I went back to Basic/Expert D&D. It is a "simple" set of rules that are perfect for adding on to. IMO, there are parts of d20 D&D that...

It all depends on the person and or group. For some, like me, having a codified set of rules for everylittle thing that could happen, is like handcuffing my imagination. Now I have to actually give a full blown class to barmaids & blacksmiths where they may only have one interaction for a whole...

One thing I would like to add on the survivability of the game. AD&D slightly, but moreso the D&D Basic and Expert Boxed sets were available from places like Toys'R'Us and Kay Bee, and also discount stores. My blue box edition came from K-Mart in 1980. My pink rimmed, Erol Otus cover Basic D&D...

This is a great thread. Characters survived by teamwork. If you could use the fighters and thieves to help your magic user get past the first few levels, you had a nice ally. The game survived cause it was fun. I won't paint a pretty picture and say the rules were perfect. There were tons...

Re: Re: Re: Re: D&D 3E: the Death of Imagination? Not quite a fair comaparison. The only books that were "core" in First Edition were the PHB, DMG, and MM. The others you mentioned, UA, WSG, DSG, are all considered "optional". Tom, I feel some of your pain. For me as a player, 3e is a great...

Before you get it, beware. We OD&D die hards have found out it is missing page 155. See this thread. http://www.dfforum.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1283

Hate speech! HATE SPEECH! I bet this is the same kook who had a website some years back claiming Tolkien to be a racist, because the Haradrim, or the "races to the south and east who serve Sauron" were described as having darker skin than those men of he north, HENCE since Sauron was evil that...
