you see, to me the blumes were much worse managers! sure, they didn't drive the company into nothingness, but only because they found someone to sell their stocks to, before it was too late. TSR was in dire financial straits, thanks to them... and that was when D&D could not fail.(*) (sure, the...

that's actually a very good factual explanation. i dig it much better, than: "oh, but she sued gary!" or "she nearly killed the hobby". (*) :) (*) if the RPG scene couldn't do without D&D, even if it suddently cease to exist for whatever reason (and its game designers were free to find new...

do you mean "many of the people of this boards"? or "many people on the internet"? i would think that at least half of the fanbase moved to the 2nd edition, if not more. and many more people started playing the game with that edition. anyway, the nostalgia value has very little to do with what...

i don't want to sound patronizing, but this idea that a setting must be significantly changed to accomodate the changes in an edition is poppycock. it was poppycock when they killed all the assassins in FR to "smoothly" lead it into AD&D 2nd edition. it was poppycock when they changed the face...

:( i seriously think this last post is exciting... god, i have no life this christmas! oh, well, at least i'll graduate in may!

i've always liked them to look and act like hobbits, unless there was some strong setting reasons to change that (as there was in dark sun). lately, i've been toying with the idea of starting an homebrew campaign and have the a race (which i immaginately call: "gnomes" :P) looking like a mix...

you beated me to it! :P

you are right. in lovercraft ghouls are not undead. that caused quite a... ehm... "phylosophical" discussion at my CoC table, the first time we tried the game (many, MANY years ago). i think the original folklore in which ghouls are based is arabic... you might want to dig something about those...

BECMI: Basic, Expert, Companion, Master, Immortal is the edition of D&D in which the ruleset came into coloured boxes... the one most people are familiar with. :)

sure, but... i hate to do this, but i have to cite it: palladium. kevin siembieda seems to be at least as difficult as lorraine williams. and there have been recounts of game designers leaving the company because they couldn't cope with mr. siembieda anymore, with fans stopping buying because...

quoted for truth, unless i have a gaming group who is DYING to play with this or that new book. or unless the C&C keeper book finally comes out... :P but that's it. i also want to play more. find a group of people i can trust, or introduce friends into gaming. play like i used to, for fun, for...

maybe it's the lingering christmas spirit, but... i've always found a bit sad that lorraine williams's name is *so* reviled by the general D&D community. if there is one thing that unites D&D gamers of all editions is that lorraine williams is a hag, a bitch, an evil person. gygax said less...

about the reasons why there was a 2nd edition, i quote from the first printing of the PHB, page 8: "the AD&D game evolved over the course of 16 years. During that time, the game grew tremendously through play. Changes and improvements (and a few mistakes) were made. Thee were published in...

i would say that you should raise the issues that belbarid asks with your player. moreover, it's not your problem of how he hides his condition, but his. i think that your work, as a DM is running the adventure smoothly, resolve situations using logic, and presenting the setting to the players...
