Right. I think the bigger issue is that even if it's not a spell that's denoted mechanically in a book, people assume the spaces in between must exist. Right, like, if high level clerical magic can literally reverse PC death, then one could assume that they can cure paraplegia as an example...

Oh, it's not controversial, at least to me, I just find it worth pointing out as sort of a weird diegetic inconsistency. I mean Picard is a bald French man from Yorkshire and we all love him. Lots of stuff fits in that bucket in D&D. I didn't read the middle, say, 100 pages of this thread, are...

Delta Green game, playing "Last Things, Last": Set septic tank lady ablaze.

Man, I'm glad it's working out for some of you. But the lesson I learned in varying hobby spaces is this: You'll be happier if you don't turn your hobby into a business.

This is like Picard being bald in the 24th century. This wizard can't cast cure astigmatism.

I take it you haven't seen their OGL statement in their books? They let down the side there. TLDR; we get to use previously created Open Game Content, but our mechanics? Naw, that's all product identity. They're not alone in this. Goodman, Monte Cook do it too. Becoming less relevant as they...

I agree it's a great pickup. The one thing I would recommend if you are planning on actually playing first edition would be to pick up the Star Wars Sourcebook from '87. Without it, you're missing a bunch of stuff you would expect in the game.

Content warning for, well, everything.

In this case, we're talking about the Arcana of the Ancients, which is an OGL only product. No ORC or community content involvement.

Oh yeah, agreed. I should have been more clear, I don't mean that I want to see Mythus come back just that I confused what happened with the rights between Mythus and Cyborg Commando for some reason.

Yes. You might be right here. All the DQ guys I know are into doing the Pythagorean theorem to determine their starting hit points. I think I might be thinking of of Dangerous Journeys/Mythus. So, yeah you're right.

Between this and the D&D Converse, I don't know. I kind of miss being bullied in middle school for playing D&D. Thus, the playing D&D ouroboros is complete.

That new version of Alternity is really baffling to me too. Like, it doesn't have any of the settings for the old game or share the mechanics. So...it's just a generic sci-fi RPG that uses the name? Pretty perplexing. What's the point? As to what I would like to see that they own...

No thanks. Now, an Adidas line? Man, I want to squat in an AD&D (AAD&D ?) tracksuit and smoke cigarettes. That would be really cool. Everyone would love me.

Wait, are you telling me that St. Patrick engaged in druid duels once he reached 12th level? The AD&D 2e Player's Handbook was right all along!

If you've released it publicly and then don't do anything with it for like ten years? Yeah? It would stop corporations buying stuff just to bury their competition at least. You remember the Dragonquest RPG? TSR made sure you didn't.

Apparently it's a D100 style RPG. Not directly BRP based. Beyond that I don't know much. Its page doesn't offer much in way of mechanical detail. I was hoping that when I paid for the pre-order I would get the PDF right away, so I could take a look right away. Apparently that is not the case...
