    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    Quoted for truth. Gary took the game and made it an international success. Without Gary, this website and debate would not exist.

    Let's Forget the Forgotten Realms

    I'm a Forgotten Realms fanboi, though I like many things about the varied settings. I'll support whatever is supported. It's D&D.

    EN World Presents (Episode 1 / Pilot Episode)

    Morrus is up to some good things. I'm sure programming for EN World TV will be great for a diverse group of gamers.

    EN World Presents (Episode 1 / Pilot Episode)

    I wish I could do more time, but production on videos like this take a lot longer than the 5 minutes they are presented as. Also, I am a 1-man shop for this so that adds a burden. A good rule of thumb is to take the length of the short and multiply it by 20. That's the usual amount of time it...

    EN World Presents (Episode 1 / Pilot Episode)

    Everyone from Paizo I've worked with has pronounced it the way I did in the video ;)

    EN World Presents (Episode 1 / Pilot Episode)

    A quick editorial clarification to the video. The Domesday Book was in fact not a book, rather a newsletter. It was published by the Castles & Crusades society in the late 1960s (1968?). I cut too much from that edit and wanted to clarify here.

    Good lord, man! I'm 30! All the same, thanks for the compliment :)

    How Many Editions of D&D Has There Really Been?

    I covered this lightly in the first EN World Presents video. 1974 - OD&D 1977 - Basic Set 1979 - AD&D Etc.... Prior to OD&D was the Chainmail supplement. That and Outdoor Survival (1972) by Avalon Hill significantly influenced the creation of D&D.

    Non-North American Gamers who want to buy the 1e reprints, sound off!

    There are legal restrictions. I don't know what they are, but I'll ask my lawyer.

    Was Thac0 really that bad?

    THAC0 was awesome when it came out, but the same could be said for disco, neon-green pants, and MC Hammer. One day, we all realized how silly it was and found better ways of entertaining ourselves. ...except MC Hammer. That dude just rocks.

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    I already own sets from the original. I want a couple of these all for myself :)

    WotC to Release 1st Edition Premium Core Rulebooks Reprints

    Some people here and around the web are questioning this move and asking just how much is going to the memorial. Does that really matter? They are donating to the Gygax memorial! C'mon now. This is great news. I can't wait to get a set or two--both as a consumer and as a completist.

    Should point buy be discouraged?

    I like how DARPG handles abilities. Even if you roll terribly, you are still not that far removed from contributing in a meaningful way.

    D&D 5E (2014) I Hope I Hate 5e

    It's mention has brought up a flood of memories of this and other little things similar. Either way, I like that an elf is able to find secret doors, but I think it should be represented in a fixed way (bonus to Perception checks, etc...)

    D&D 5E (2014) I Hope I Hate 5e

    Gimme some XP if you had an Elf character in your party that would ask every single frickin' room. We got to a point where we (as players) banned Elves from the game :lol:

    What name would you like the next iteration of D&D to bear?

    If only half the people who post here on EN world worked for WotC, it might very well be the greatest brand ever with $1b in profits. ;)

    Coming Soon!

    Unfortunately, I have no idea.

    Coming Soon!

    *gulp* I hope you guys like the series! Tough crowd, but I aim to please.

    Coming Soon!

    One of the things I wanted to do was pose a question, or put up a topic of discussion, solicit a conversation, and then cover it during EN World Presents. I think that covers what you're saying, but let me know if you were thinking of something different.
