Being a fan-geek of all things British, I've actually heard of Black Shuck but I don't think I ever realized it only had one eye ;)

I love Acquisitions Incorporated (all the teams ;) ) but I am not sure if I want to spend money on a book that basically just contains "fluff" material designed for laughs. Just my opinion.

The funny thing about 4th point is that so many of these "original" ideas are in truth based on previous ideas or even historical events. Game of Thrones for example is roughly based on The War of the Roses between the Houses of Lancaster (Lannister) and York (Stark) from English history. Even...

Thank you Jim Ward for sharing your time and talent. I am one of the "old guard" as well but as a consumer. I grew up in Illinois and was a pre-teen during the beginning years of TSR. I remember getting hooked on D&D almost instantly, receiving the various books and modules over the upcoming...

Text from the actual print: "On the WORLD OFGREYHAWKª map, Saltmarsh is placed in the southernmost part of Keoland, at the western edge of hex U4/123."

Probably because the original was set in the World of Greyhawk located in southern Keoland along the coast of the Azure Sea. ;)

There has always been a soft spot in my heart for this series for several reason. 1, because it was produced by the British version of TSR (and I am an anglophile), 2, it was a cool and simple storyline and 3, I loved the original art work. I am so happy that WotC is releasing an updated 5e...

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people though. I am so happy for their success!

Very Cool. Especially the Tower of Storms. I might have to use that ;)

Well I recognize the "Teacher" from Spock's Brain episode but I am not sure about the lizard dude.

I would have to definitely agree. I always consider books with better artwork over ones with poor or no artwork. It is the art that draws me to the product in the first place and fosters my imagination. It is also art that grabs hold of my memory and evokes emotions of days gone by whenever I...

I always feel - "Bottom line- it's a GAME. It's supposed to be FUN" - is the #1 rule. Too many times it seems players and sometimes even DMs get caught up in the frenzy and loose sight of this # 1 rule. Either by being rude, blowing off sessions, making arbitrary rule changes, it wears a body...

To add to this issue, I have always been concerned with the explosion in the self-publication trend of so many new RPG products. Variety is the spice of life but there is such a thing as over-saturating the market too. I would hazard to guess that many of these products are just sub par but...

As a fellow Chicago-area native, I recognize Sue right away. You're looking great Sue! Have you lost weight?

Canada! Oh, Canada!

Love this! I have so many fond memories of playing through this adventure as a kid. A crashed spaceship on the fantasy World of Greyhawk? Ingenious! Lots of comedy bits thrown around too for added fun. What character wouldn't want to get their hands on one of the laser pistols and start...

Love this. Would love for all the classic modules to be converted/updated of course but Isle of Dread was a lot of fun. Bring on the phanatons!

'ol tentacle-lips himself, eh?

My two cents: Not really a big fan. I think adding new Sorcerer origins is very cool but only to a limited degree in my opinion. Sorcerers are supposed to gain power from the bloodline. With this concept in mind, I naturally ASSUME that means somewhere down the ancestral family tree, one of...
