I was introduced to D&D in the mid-80's by a friend.

Where would Warhammer Fantasy RPG fit in?

Like others I voted for Keaton although Bale did a masterful job with the role. I think Keaton is under-appreciated for his work in the role. Danny Elfman's score tied everything together so I am partial to the originals. It's a dead man's party!

Did someone say Guild Wars? :D

What? :D I've been playing Pool of Radiance since my friend had a C64. I have Teledisk versions of Wizardry 1 and 5 that I play on both my XP machine and c. 1994 DOS laptop. EDIT: Both of these are the quintessential D&D games for the computer. I should also fire up some Might and Magic 2. One...

Why have double posts been happening to me?

Magic the Gathering + Civilization = Very Interesting I am installing it on my DOS computer now. I could not get it to work on my XP machine. Damn Extended Memory BS.

The Hobbit Doc Savage Macbeth

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Is the game implying the the act of making a deal with the devil is not evil? I don't have the book in front of me.

Truth be told, I often lump Heroic fantasy and S&S together. We only played in Greyhawk for a few years, and when we did it was more Heroic than S&S. It had more Tolkien influences I think since I didn't get the hardback until long after we played 2e. Man that was the 80's. EDIT: We have...

Truthfully I don't know. It may be because they are humanoid and can represent what our society would become if true EVIL took over. They may represent us if we lost what it means to be human and reverted back to our animalistic behavior. Some people have mentioned that they use orcs as...

I am going to try and clear up this whole "working through your issues" bit people keep bringing up. I want to know why people think I am painting with a wide brush, people that want moral questions in their game by this comment. Do I really have to say "at my table", "in my experience", "your...

I'm not sure you do understand. I think I have answered your initial question several times that the orcs in my game are EVIL. I'm not talking about other human lands, nor using the orcs as an analogous culture to one you would find in the real world. Because in my games I define the orcs as...

What D&D means to me and the community at large is my issue. WOTC cannot change what D&D means to me, but it can change the brand into something that encourages a different type of play than I prefer. It will matter when I start running into replacements that have a problem when I say no to them...

Those grey areas are perfectly fine at my table. I consider Devils and Ctulhu pure EVIL, and as such anyone that willingly uses their power is tainted with that EVIL. Feylocks and starlocks would not cause a problem unless either the DM or player tries to define them differently. I don't know...

WOTC defines the brand. As an example I would guess that there are more people playing in Eberron than in Greyhawk and maybe even the Forgotten Realms reboot. That's just a guess though. Right now it doesn't matter as much, but it may five years from now when Heroic Fantasy makes way for Dark...

My bad, I didn't know that there was a Heroquest RPG. We played Heroquest like we played D&D, cooperatively.

They don't. People that make deals with the Devils or Cthulhu do not fit in as player characters in heroic fantasy. Thats like saying Conan and Thulsa Doom are sitting in a tavern... and that's a S&S example. Gandalf and Sarumon sitting at a table waiting for their next adventure is just as absurd.

Wouldn't that be considered part of the definition of evil?
