Mysterious double post.

I agree with all your statements, but more with the first. However, if Expedition of Castle Greyhawk becomes a bestseller, perhaps Wizards will release a few additional adventures.

Ivid the Undying is really fantastic. However, instead of downloading the Wizards' file, get this nicely edited and formated pdf version by William Allman, available at the Acaeum.

I played for about an year and I enjoyed it greatly. However, our DM housed ruled the inclusion of a seventh ability, Power, to take care of One Power manipulation and saves (any weave against a person would be resist with the Power stat bonus, instead of the appropriated Con, Wis, or Dex...

It was the best 2ed AD&D book I read -- not that I read many, I am afraid. I think your myth of origin for Asmodeus and the Nine Hells are definitely the most interesting I read. It is really a shame it has not being supported by further releases.

From the Ashes is a great product, as many of the post-Gygaxian Greyhawk supplements (but not many adventures). However, I prefer the original box. I would love to read a complete setting developed by Carls Sargent focusing in a dark high-fantasy mood. Still, borrowing from Conan fans, From the...

Only three: Tomb of Horrors, White Plume Mountain, and Temple of Frog. All classic, but none of the better ones, IMHO.

You can also find Tonk rules here. The game was quite interesting in the novels, but I never tried the rules.

I write them to be dramatically correct, not by the book. I am always impressed how some people, such as John Cooper, care so much about the correctness of the stat block. I may admire his work but I don't think it is necessary. I don't care much about the stats as long as they sound good for my...

I let the players do whatever they want, including killing themselves. However, I hope they will not complain if some authority begins an investigation.

No offense taken. I should know better not to trust the computer's spelling checker. Now that I realize the problem was kind of funny to re-read some passages.

Sadrik is on the spot. When playing AD&D, the players have to trust their DM will reasonably use the rules or wing when necessary in order that all have fun. However, d20 D&D allow a lot of power in character building that, by the rules, take a lot of power from the DM. In my experience, to have...

It is just a change of consumer expectations. I was called crazy by my friends when I gave up buying comics and limited my purchases to TPs in 1993. Today I am a regular consumer. Fact is magazines sales in general are being eroded by the Internet and other media. Offering the same contents in...

I guess I have a strange mentality like Razz was mentioned as the last game I played was a 3.0 game with all 3.0 splatbooks and I definitely think they have a lot of broken material. Never looked at the 3.5 material. Perhaps they got better, I wouldn't know, I just don't have much hope.

Merric, In the other hand, comic book publishers have been milking money from monthly magazines compilations for years. They reach customers like me who don't buy magazines (comics or gaming ones) but purchase compilations. Even better, I know quite a few that buy monthly titles and a few...

I am writing at my old Mac laptop (iBook G3 600) and I use a PS2 for gaming. It is a very satisfying setup. Still, it is time to upgrade once more. I plan to buy a new console next month, I am tending to the X360 but I might go with a Wii, depending on the online capabilities of each system -- I...

I would suggest your friend to move from commissioned game based novels to author created novels. There are quite a many settings based on fantasy books that are quite good. I can recommend the Dying Earth, Black Company or Game of Thrones, the last two being d20 books. However, novels based on...

In the only occasion I played with a battle map, we used counters. It feels more confortable than minis if you have a background in wargaming and it is definitely the way to go if you have to carry them anywhere. Minis are nice but bulky.

Even if Dave Arneson has the rights, it would be in his best interest to have his setting promoted by WotC. Perhaps he allow them to update Temple of the Frog.
