Check out the forums on the websites of your preferred publishers, besides Wizards that is. Most of them have decent boards. Activity varies, but they are all good.

To me, the biggest draw of D&D is the social interaction. I don't think the effect of the sudden appearance of a fire-breathing woolly mammoth summoned unexpectedly by a PC can have quite the same impact without the oohs and ahhhs and people jumping out of their chairs. Or the look on a DM's...

Someone from either here or one of the other major forums created this page: http://web.fisher.cx/robert/rpg/dnd-id/ An illustrated guide to D&D editions.

I don't think Prestige Classes is the word you are looking for. In OD&D they were full character classes. Perhaps you are thinking of another edition.

How on EARTH do you come to that conclusion? Yes, there is a d20 involved. The d20 is used to resolve most conflict situations - checks, attacks, saves etc. It has almost nothing else in common with D20 - The System ®. And how in the dickens have you determined what is D20 Art, Text and Layout...

Best post of the day. :) I have roughly three 3 foot shelves worth of 3.x books. No way I'm going to list them, but of WotC, only the core books, the Complete books and the Races books are represented, plus the planar books, the nicer monster books, and the Deity book. Everything else is a...

Bull honky. As I've said elsewhere in this thread, my group has been playing C&C for over a year, and the only thing we've added are critical hit/fumble rules. Other that that, a few new spells, some new races, and those are all from AD&D sources. We've played in original AD&D modules, 3.x...

When we started playing C&C, we went completely without minis. It was a wonderful and refreshing thing, and for quite a while we kept playing that way, or at the minimum just placing our minis on the table as simple avatars. No grids. No measuring. No facing. Just describing the action while our...

I suspect he refers to RuneQuest.

4.x is simply not for me. It took me a long while to try most of the tricks and baubles associated with 3.x, but I finally did, and as strange as some of my friends might think it for me to say it, the flood of character options finally grew to weary me. I don't want a game that's all about...

No offense, but you DO realise that Erik Mona is one of the best "historians" Dragon Magazine has ever had, don't you?

The C&C art is modern classic only insofar as it tries to make the characters look like real people. What you've stated at the end there is a gross mis-characterization.

"...tale of morality and introspection featuring Drizzt of the Forgotten Realms..." Not my cup of tea at all. Not even remotely. I game for fun, and have often wondered why so many of the "iconic" fictional characters of D&D seem to be incapable of having any.

From roughly #60, give or take a few, to about the time right before 2nd Edition. Those are the issues I hold dear.

Conversions is a snap. My DM and I talk about it all the time, and it's the main reason, first and foremost, why he decided to run us in C&C. He switches quite easily between 1st and 3rd Editions, and rarely bothers to convert. Any given night, you can find us playing in an AD&D module, or a 3.5...

That is wretchedly overwrought. And I think I'm starting to sense an agenda.

My solution to the lack of a monthly magazine has been to go buy at least one old back issue of Dragon a month [sometimes more]. Should last me a while. All of the sudden I no longer regret ditching my old collection back in the mid '80s.

I'm deeply curious, in all honesty, what core system you are currently using? Re: Henry... It happens to be I agree with you. Unfortunately none of my friends will hear that, and all of them think I'm nuts for still hanging around here. I would be nuts if I still tried to read the 4th Edition...

Kill them and take their stuff. hth

Uh huh. I suppose the flip side of that is the large number of my friends who no longer post here. Matter of fact, I'm the only person in my game group that still does, in spite of the fact that most were members here long before I was. See, I still think of ENWorld as a D&D forum. The...
