Wow, that's awful. I used a lot of Ed's character generators back in the 2e days. Funny how history repeats itself. TSR was very strict about that stuff for a while, shutting down every fan work they could find. Right now Hasbro only seems to be doing it to character generators....but it's not...

I find it hard to believe they can't put out a magazine when you have something like Gygax magazine (whose fifth issues just came out). Oh sure, it's only quarterly, but it's almost literally an '80s Dragon. The thing is, now that D&D is owned by Hasbro, they want the maximum amount of profits...

FWIW, I've released two Pay What You Want OSR adventure modules The first one was 4 pages (just a test, basically) with a suggested price of 50 cents, the second 16 pages or so, with a suggested price of $1. The first one (released in December 2014) has 182 downloads, 24 "purchases" with a...

Big differences are the classes, many of them were changed or dropped or revamped And monsters got a lot tougher in general.At least more hit points/hit dice. This effects compatibility. Like a Frost Giant in 1e has 10 hit dice, in 2e, it has 14. A Balor has 8 HD + 8 hp in 1e (so average of...

Have you tried D&D Tactics? I thought that was pretty good as well.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post it, but arguably if he didn't co-write Chainmail with EGG, none of us would be here now playing or at least, playing D&D. Basically like a lot of others from the early TSR era, Jeff Perren is getting old and has health problems. He had to have a leg...

Personally, I love the FASA stuff. I am a huge Classic Traveller fan, but have been leery of buying into Mongoose Traveller because their d20 stuff was usually so dire. There was some good stuff, but mostly because they chanced in hiring a good author for that particular book.

I think pretty much everything already exists in PDF form. Bastion Press did it for them about what, 15 years ago? But then WOTC pulled them from online stores for some reason, then a couple years ago started making them available again, but with newer scans. (And actually even before Bastion...

I saw a thing about the making of that Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie on TCM, apparently they really shot people with arrows. They had padding/armor so it didn't hurt, but still...just a first inches off...

Yes, yes I did. I agree, very good game.

Bear in mind, at one time, TSR did have a policy against fan works. Places like the house rules forum here would have been hit by a cease & desist notice and/or angry email from Sean Reynolds. Eventually they "compromised" by allowing certain designated places to host such material. Not...

Well, to use Hawk the Slayer, which despite the name, was more of an ensemble movie: You had a sword guy (hawk), an elf with a bow, a dwarf (who didn't do much other than comic relief), an old guy with a crossbow, a giant with a maul, and and a sorceress. Their archetypes weren't really...

I don't think it debunks anything. He's using what appears to be almost a toy bow. Look at how you can see the arrows move fairly easily with your eye. That means they are going very slow. Try doing this stuff with a bow that hunters use. The arrow would be there before he even moved. Don't...

Spelljammer was more like a science fiction game, albeit with fantasy trappings. But you had a ship, you flew around the universe and visited new planets, starbases (usually on asteroids), fought other ships. Planescape seemed to me to be an attempt at more of a Storyteller/White Wolf type...

I don't think that's a good idea for Paizo. To me, it would basically be turning their back on their own fan base, which they've spend years and years building up goodwill with, to chase customers of another company's product. And the whole point of creating Pathfinder was that they could...

I'd really rather see them make a new setting, rather than try to retcon/retrofit settings from previous editions..

What's a D&D movie? Well, there's the actual D&D movies. Or there's Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. This list, though, by trancejeremy, is all about classic movies. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick Stewart, and John Cleese await in this list of 10 Classic D&D Movies! #10...

I didn't hear of that until I was in college, actually.
