Although I've brought several games, I only keep those I believe I might play in the future (lucky friends get the discarded books for free if they are fast enough to get them before I trash them). Also, I'm not much in settings anymore. As such, my current collection is pretty small: 1 OD&D 1...

I waiting for a really crunch guy come around and say that stat blocks are actually fluff. :)

I have the impression that they are the same thing. I recall that broadsword is a much latter term given by fencers and sword historians to refer the old swords, as they were much broader than the rapiers. During the medieval times, they were called just swords. However, the bastard sword was a...

I tried to like Planescape and, for a certain amount, I like it. However, it was very hard to read that stupid cant. Another one was Forgotten Realms. A friend of mine brought most of the first products and asked me to do a game in the world. It wasn't that bad, but I couldn't stand NPCs such...

Good job! Not only is a pretty good sheet but also it does remind me of the old AD&D ones. I might use it in the future.

Actually, Greenwood claims he created Forgotten Realms as a setting to his short stories. The gaming component came much later, whereas Gygax created Greyhawk simultaneously with D&D. Perhaps you're thinking of how Arneson created Blackmoor, as he actually adapted a minuature game to evolve in...

That's not surprising, as TSR transfered several neat Greyhawk ideas, such as the Vault of Drow, to Forgotten Realms. As such, most of the uniqueness of Greyhawk was copied over to the Realms. Not surprisingly, many D&D veterans consider Forgotten Realms to be highly unoriginal. However, most...

You'll do fine with the core books and I wouldn't recommend you anything else at this point. Perhaps, if you explain better your preferences I can make some additional sugestions.

I like Monday nights, but I have a hard time convincing any of my friends about it. I argue that most people don't do anything remarkable on Mondays, which, for that reason, is a great time to play!

Considering only the settings published by TSR and Wizards of the Coast, I would pick Forgotten Realms as the one I actually dislike, for the usual reasons. I consider SpellJammer to be a silly concept and, as such, I never got the trouble of reading it and I don't attach any strong feeling for...

The CD was released during the 2nd edition tenure. As such, it was trivial to adapt material from previous editions. Still, I didn't found much material of interest to my game. I agree with you about the historical interest. It was, for sure, what kept me reading from time to time. I can...

We often played at a friend's house who was a subscriber in the middle 80s. I read a lot of those issues and, at that time, they appear to be nice. I was about 18 and I wanted to digest everything I could find about D&D. I was in my middle 30s when I brought the CD and, quite frankly, I think...

A LGJ compilation would be very cool! I would definetly buy one.

Dead, check out Paizo website, as I believe they have some of the early Living Greyhawk Journals for sale.

I brought the Dragon Archive CD at the time it was released and it was a great disapointment. There were historically interesting things here and there but, in the end, I figured out I don't appreciate Dragon that much. Still, there are some very good pieces: The Voyage of the Princess Ark is...

Usually, my players don't care much about the details. They want just a short description of what their characters know, which is usually limited to their country and a little bit of the recent history. Nevertherless, you have to prepare a little more to be consistent, but I don't take the...

I am currently running a game to a clericless party. It is pretty good, as they have to be much more careful regarding combat and it take days before they tried to fight again. In the end, the game became much more believeable.

1) Flight -- I hate it, as it as low level spell that changes the game from pseudomedieval to superheroic. 2) ESP -- Until d20 (which I don't play), it was a low level spell that denied investigative adventures 3) Raise Dead and similars -- Nuff said. All others such as teleport and several...

Portuguese: Archer - Arqueiro Spell - Feitiço ou Encanto Fireball - Bola de Fogo Mount - Montaria Dwarf - Anão Halfling - Pequenino? (little one) I've to see how the official edition translated it Orc - Orc Armor - Armadura Dungeon - Masmorra (underground prison) or Catacumba (catacomb) Dragon...

Me too, I look forward to see how this will end. I can afford US$250 but I serious doubt this will sell for less than US$1,500.
