When I bought it, I had never heard about Castle Greyhawk before, but I still disliked it extremely.

I'm probably missing the context, but couldn't they just ignore those people?

I don't understand any of this. Is there an edition war among clones of the OD&D boxed set? Is that enough to retire a product? I'm puzzled.

That module (which I agree is really terrible module) has nothing to do with Gygax. It was a parody of Castle Greyhawk and it was published several years after Gary had left TSR.

I obviously have no opinion on the legal side, but I agree with you that it is a very sad story. Unfortunately this kind of episodes seem to always have been present in the RPG world, right from the start.

Nasty stuff. I didn't know anything about this story. Does this legal action look to have merit? EDIT: Never mind, I saw the actual thread.

The d3 vs 2 issue does not seem to me a burden at all. It gives a little variety while maintaining overall balance. Presumably, each player will run one character at a time and since this is something that happens every turn, I think that it will be easy to remember.

I saw Superman at one of the fanciest movie theater in Rome and it was 10 euros. Two days earlier, just €6.50 to see The Master and Margarita.

I can give a better deal. For the low, low price of 100 euros, I can send you a selfie with my ugly face blocking the view of some monument in Rome. I'll put your name in the file name.

I played for a while Ironsworn with a friend in GM-less mode, but I have to try it as a solo game.

Yes, that struck me as very weird to me as well. They want to build a factory for manufacturing their for-profit goods and they ask for a donation? In exchange you get a brick with your name on it? Very weird, but everyone is welcome to spend their money as they wish.

Just an anecdote, but that's exactly how I got into D&D. Back in 1985, I received the Mentzer "Red Box" for Christmas, I read it, ran through the solo adventures and then I began to DM for a group of friends.

Of course it depends a lot on the situation, but this set is stand-alone, while you need the DMG and the MM to play. Further, if this is well done, it will teach new players in a quick and efficient way. Learning D&D from the PHB can be challenging, IMO.

Yes, the original Starter Set was a great product and the adventure is outstanding. I was less enthused about Dragons of Stormwreck Isle and even less about the Stranger Things starter set.

Yes, very true. Personally, I feel that I'm rather out of touch with the current younger players, but I can still get enjoyment out of several recent offerings. As I mentioned previously, I don't really need a starter set for D&D at this point in time, but this product does look nice and also...

Yeah, the price seems to be fine. I don't know how it will affect its market penetration with beginners, but - luckily - that's not my problem to worry about :)

I really don't need this, but it will be hard not to buy it...

The European Commission (the executive branch) currently has five Executive Vice-Presidents. Hover, I agree that the video title is misleading, since the VP of the Parliament has far less direct power.

I would use my house-ruled AD&D 1e. I know it like the back of my hand and I can create encounters on the fly.

I don't know but I bet there's something fishy going on. I won't take the bait.
