I skip editions anyway, so I won't be buying anything til 5e. Heh. Just like the way I 'skipped' OD&D.

I'd say Zuggtmoy's a lock for the next one.

Meh. Kids these days don't know jack. I mentioned Gygax to some young know-it-all the other day and he just stared at me like I had referenced a polka band. Whomever gets their name on the books seems to warrant a reaction these days, but it's an unmeasured response, one they have little to...

111. Gygax was still a god, and any who mocked him lived out their days looking over their shoulders.

Most of my encounters tend to be large rooms, but that's why I bought a large battlemat. I suspect most other people did, too. Does Wotc somehow think people haven't already ordered battlemats from Chessex? Do they think we sit around saying, 'Gee, I wish they would print up a big map so we have...

82. Halflings were hobbits, treant were ents, and you half-expected Gandalf to show up as an NPC.

74. Trying for what felt like the 100th time to get through the Tomb of Horrors 75. XP for Gp!!!

Epic sessions lasting 12+ hours.

A snoozer selection if I ever saw one. At this rate Wizards will have us begging for 4e by midsummer next year. However, I do like psionics, so maybe I'll pick up that one, if I buy one at all.

My group currently plays our own version of 'old-school' D&D. Players can have no more than one extra class (and that includes PrCs), and there's no power-gaming or min-maxing. It's been fun and quite reminiscent of what we enjoyed in bygone days.

I have been in games where personal twelve packs are downed in a few hours time, where the bongs are passed both ways to save time, and the players can't remember their character names (or purposes) whatsoever. Full-scalle brawls have actually broken out, with the less aggressive diving for...

What Billy said.

You know, this is the first set that won't take a huge bite out of my pocketbook, and of the minis I've seen, only the large air elemental, the village priest, and the efreet jump out at me.

All too true, but I'd give it more of a month before things cool off. You can also buy them just before they go on sale since a lot of people don't know that sellers put them up for auction before the official release date. Of course, as the new ones age, the prices go down; I've bought tons...

Once upon a time there was a little bookstore on the east coast of the US. Over time it flourished and grew, finally becoming a chain of stores called Barnes and Nobles. How did it get so big? Well, it didn't cater to a niche market like some of those christian bookstores you see around, or even...

Only books I've bought in the last year have been the Complete series, Races of Stone, Libris Mortis, and Lords of Madness. For me, the environment series blows (unless they pull a generic underdark book out of their collective asses), as do the other race books.

Uh, no. I'll do what I like, thank you.

So charge me with unethical behavior. Like I give a rat's ass.

And that is precisely the reason I browse gaming books in B&N before buying them online from Amazon. One offers comfort, the other discounts. FLGS offer neither.

Disliked the rumors. Disliked the previews. Dislike the book.
