New versions of media do not render older versions non-existent. Remember them the way they were, since that's the way they were. A new version does not change the way they were.

Unless you use a character creation system that progresses a character through each stage in their lives up to now, it is what you're doing, whether you prefer to think about it that way or not. Race and class partly determine how the character interacts mechanically with the game world.

It matters just as much as any one other person's opinion. But game settings are not designed for one person. So ultimately the question "Why call it DragonLance?" means you're questioning why WotC would consider other peoples' tastes as well, rather than just yours. There's all kinds of things...

The "to me" part is the key there. That may be what makes it DL to you, but that not what makes it DL to everyone. So unless you believe everyone should agree with you about that, then you already know why it's reasonable to still call it DragonLance: the changes are not as significant to other...

Because while some of the changes can be pretty significant, there are still huge swaths that will still be there. Draconians and dragonlances to begin with, I'm sure. Surely you'd agree that if 1% of the setting were changed, it would still be reasonable to call it the same setting...

And mine. Damn you Bargle!

That's a terrible justification. Seeking a career in film acting is a choice. Don't want to face the casting couch? Don't seek a job in acting. No, it's still not okay just because it involves something people can choose not to do.

Holy cow. A veritable mind=blown moment right here.

I'm confused. You say you didn't have ANY house rules for B/X, but for the example provided of one of the many house rules you absolutely need for 5E to be playable, it's something that isn't covered by B/X rules at all. So why wouldn't you need the same or similar house rule for B/X, in order...

I'd say this is a deepity rather than actual wisdom. Even if you could measure intelligence with enough precision to allow you to determine the one person who is the median, there would be HUGE numbers of people on either side of the median that are so close to the median in intelligence that it...

You made a claim that they left out the "in space" bit, so references to space things are clearly relevant, but you left them out. That's the difference - choosing to respond to only one particular thing someone says is not at all equivalent to cutting out context from a quote when that context...

To be above board it would need the permission of any copyright holder of any material in the book.

No, the only inaccurate bit I see in this thread is your claim that because they refer to the Astral Plane, it means it has nothing to do with space, despite all of the other things they also refer to which make it very clear it is to do with space.

Clipping the sentence in order to remove additional context is very poor form. You left out the references to stars, the heavens, Widspace, a silvery void, hopping between worlds. Sounds pretty darn space-y to me.

Flashbacks from the edition wars! ("Just don't narrate it as losing a hand! Hands don't grow back from rest either, you know!")

It sounds like it was written by Ben Riggs.

TBH, I have trouble taking your comment seriously after this. What in the world are you talking about? It's even called Spelljammer: Adventures in Space. According to WotC, it "presents the Astral Plane as a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting unlike any other. Home of the stars and gateway to...

Yes exactly! When I was 13 I was playing 1E AD&D. These were a lot of work but they make my inner 13-year-old very happy.

If you have pics of those I'd love to see them.

I'm working on another intensive project inspired by this, but it will probably take a few more months work to complete. I'll make sure to post them here when they're done.
