I know we've been flooded with recent polls about the age of D&D fans and when people discovered and/or abandoned Greyhawk, but I wonder the average age of Greyhawk fans? Long-standing fans of Greyhawk are the most likely to buy Greyhawk products and yet are often the harshest critics of...

Impressive. Also, I just clicked the link and Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk has already moved up to 3,502. I bought my copy at the nearest Borders Express on Friday. I know that Borders/Waldenbooks is now partnered with (or owned by) Amazon.com, so I wonder if physical purchases register...

Also, if you look at the poll results you'll see that the author of the OP choose more than one answer, as well.

I have to agree with this point, particularly in regards to the latter. It's been said many times that 4E is looking more and more like an MMORPG than what we're familiar with in pen-and-paper gaming. Certainly this is true to an extent in 3.0/3.5E as well, but the game as a whole seems to be...

Let me preface this by saying that I don't buy many adventures. I've got around fifty WotC books on my shelf and the only adventure I purchased prior to Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk was The Standing Stone from 2001. (Well, alright, I did buy the issue of Dungeon magazine featuring Maure...

That makes perfect sense! Apologies for my assumption. Happy gaming! :D

I was just going to mention the timing of the Rules Cyclopedia release in comparison to the Rules Compendium. It's a nice bookend for my collection and, as I picked up Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk yesterday, it'll be the last WotC book I buy for years to come. I still don't quite...

I really like this idea. Instant karma's gonna get you...

Sounds as if we started at about the same time. I think it was the summer of '92 when I picked up the New, Easy to Master Dungeons & Dragons Game (1991) shortly followed by the Rules Cyclopedia (1991) and the Hollow World (1990) boxed set (also from Waldenbooks). A big "No" on 4th edition. It...

Welcome to the Wilderlands of High Fantasy! Please enjoy your stay. ;)

New, Easy to Master Dungeons & Dragons Game (1991) shortly followed by the Rules Cyclopedia (1991) I'm passing on the 4th edition unless it shines like the face of Pelor.

Quite handy. Many thanks!

I'm sticking with 3.5e rules. I've sunk way too much money into this system to start again from scratch. There are still quite a few books from third party publishers I want for this edition anyway. Frankly, I'll be glad to get off the WotC train before it jumps the tracks (or transforms into...

You mean 4.5e, yes? :D

I'll be picking up the Rules Compendium and (possibly) Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk. After that it's sayonara WotC!

Sadly my group hasn't met in about two months now. We were meeting bi-weekly, then once a month...and now it's sort of fallen apart. Scheduling is a b-word.

I came to late to Greyhawk (2002) and I'm not leaving anytime soon. Prior to Greyhawk I had only used a homebrew campaign with a spattering of Mystara (mostly the Hollow World). In fact (apart from the aforementioned Hollow World boxed set), I never bought a single campaign specific D&D book or...

I occasionally have a drink or two when I'm DMing. I'm a naturally reserved person and without a little "social lubricant" I sometimes find myself distracted by minute details that can seriously bog down the game. That said, the guy described in the original post would not be welcome at my...

Nope! I couldn't agree more. It works perfectly just about anywhere, but I love it even more because it's like a mini-Greyhawk expansion.

You go, dad!
