    Going from Rules Cyclopedia to 1st Edition?

    Rounser speaks the truth. I'm running a Rules Cyclopedia D&D campaign right now in a homebrew setting, and we're using 2e Spell Compendiums, Encyclopedia Magica, and some of the 2e monster books. They are fantastic resources. I don't even bother to "convert" to RC D&D -- it isn't really...

    Can anyone recommend any good 4e or non-old school blogs?

    I love threads like this -- they help me add to my own blogroll. I keep an occasional gaming blog (mostly D&D) at Superhero Necromancer. I usually talk about BECMI/RC when I talk D&D, but I range a bit, too.

    What's so special about Forgotten Realms?

    I'm a original gray box FR fan myself, but hardly a realms expert. Still, I've always liked this answer to a similar question (how to run a "quintissentially FR" game) from 2005. I think it still holds up. It strikes a chord with me, anyway, as far as what makes the realms special: so much so...

    Out of Print games You Miss...

    I'm not RFisher, but since I'm in a similar boat (most of our main games happen to be out-of-print), I can give my answer to this question -- nah. What's support mean? There are fan communities for just about everything. And if my local group is excited about a game, that's support. Sure, it...

    Out of Print games You Miss...

    My favorite out-of-print games right now are probably TSR's Marvel Superheroes, Basic D&D, and White Wolf's Street Fighter. I don't actually miss them because we still play them regularly :D The consensus on the internet seems to be that Street Fighter was broken, but I dunno. I actually think...

    Could this be the future format of 4th Edition D&D?

    I've heard someone else talk about basically this same idea somewhere recently, but I can't remember where. The main difference I remember was the idea of also having a core book or rules cyclopedia/compendium series to go alongside it for people who just wanted the rules, but didn't want the...

    Street Fighter RPG from Living Room Games

    I'm in the playtesting group, but the playtest files aren't quite finished yet. LRG is a small company with a real love for the license. As a ridiculous (you don't want to know) fan of Street Fighter as a video game, I have high hopes, but I have little info at the moment. I can say that work...

    Non Human Languages (was inflected languages)

    The short answer-- intonation is used to convey meaning differences in English. And English intonation (like that of other languages) is fairly complicated--complicated enough that teachers of English as a foreign language devote large chunks of time teaching it. I know I do. One of the...
