And if they continued any of TSR's poor practices after the buyout, they should just be let off the hook?

Buzz, go ahead and yank me from the IH game, I won't be able to make it this time, either. EDIT: As if on cue...

Iron Heroes vs. Isle of Dread, please.

My wife, who had never played D&D (or any RPG), hung in later than she should have in her second or third combat. Afterwards, the other players asked her why she didn't cut and run. "I didn't know retreat was option. Never occurred to me." My wife kicks ass.

That's how I always took them (and djinn): intelligent humanoid elementals. Sort of more evolved than normal elementals.

Lamest flameout ever. Wow, only a genius would think of typing "f***" instead of :):):):)! You're one smart motherf***er! I also love the way you project your lack of social graces on the rest of us, as well. A true hallmark of maturity, that. We only have your posts to judge you by. :D...

It's lost on a lot of people who played 1e as well. To me, and all of the old schoolers I game with on a regular or semi-regular basis (about 20 people), if we want the feel of the 1e, we'll just play 1e. We already have the books. Replacements can be had online or at used bookstores for less...

I think Gamma World 1e would be perfect for "Korgoth: the Asskicking"

And all of that in about 192 pages, to boot. :D

Yeah. It's kinda like complaining that a car doesn't make a good boat. Besides, Moorecock could be accused of all kinds of "60's style revolution" leftist mindset in his own works. It's not surprising at all that Lewis and Tolkien would grate on his nerves. Pot, meet kettle. Clash of...

I bet he really loves Star Wars! :lol:

That's a fair assessment, and squares with his admiration of Leiber. Guys like Leiber and REH were writing for the pulp rags at the time. You had 4-8 pages scattered about the magazine, not 160+ plus pages to spread your story over. Writing for that format leads to a kind of economy in one's...

No, but I believe I've seen them, and almost had a copy. Shortly after I first started playing D&D, I was telling a neighbor about it. He told me he played the prototype and the "first real edition" which would have been the woodgrain boxes when he was in college at UW-Madison. A couple...

Would hate it, as it wouldn't be D&D anymore. Might as well just play RQ at that point.

I know about 20 people who currently play 1e AD&D. And by know, I mean, have sat at a table and gamed with them, not some poster on a message board. About 15 of them only play AD&D 1e and have no desire or intention to ever even bother with 3e. AD&D is working fine for them, they are having a...

Old school: Toss-up between GameLord's Haven and Chaosium's Thieve's World 3.x: I think I prefer Bard's Gate over CSIO. Freeport is a close 3rd. Nothing else is even close IMO.

Yeah, I'm running out of stuff to check, too.

I recall that too, but I'll be damned if I can find it. (Just did a search of the DMG, PHB, and MM pdfs). Are you sure it's not Jeff Perren you're looking for?

Unless it is an old out of print book, you don't even have to do that. Just print the pdf directly from what ever publishing tool is being used.

Gary, in case you come back and check this thread out: On monday, I sent an e-mail to the guy I gave the ticket to, and asked how the game was. Here is part of what I got back: I'm extremely sorry for giving the ticket to such an idiot. Please accept my apologies. --Rich
