    What did TSR do wrong?

    I do miss the old 1e feel that's for sure. This new stuff just doesn't seem to have the endurance for all the rigors of gaming.

    Nothing but laughter from my end...damn...lol!

    That's it, we need a picture!

    Powerful imaginations can be entertaining and frightening. I can fantasize and terrorize myself silly! Since we're on the freak out subject...What are peoples opinions on UFO abductions in regards to vanishings, lol. Seriously.

    Why isn't our society freaking out over this?

    Word on that...Monsters are actually more appealing, lol. I see what people do to each other and themselves daily...amazing. For example EVERY FOurth of July we get dozens of burn victims! All ages, every year.

    Why isn't our society freaking out over this?

    Totally, but the spooky part is what's fun! It makes for good storytelling. I'm certain there's a lot of people that would love to drop off the face of the Earth for any number of reasons, especially now that it seems that we're all tied into this huge information grid now. My creditors...

    Why isn't our society freaking out over this?

    that's still a lot of people. I'm not freaked, mostly curious about the behavior...in regards to the predatory aspect of the disappearances. Sure sometimes people just WANT to vanish, but it's the people that are taken that gets me jittery sometimes. Which takes me back to the "things that bump...

    What did TSR do wrong?

    Just a theory I have...here on the net the information is abundant, interactive, and most importantly FREE (minus cost of monthly internet service, computers, blah blah). I would love to still have access to mags, being old school, but...it seems for us gamers the era of the two most important...

    Good points, freaky all the same. A total lack of humanity on the rise...or maybe there are things that really bump in the night out there, lol.

    Lol, maybe these people disappear from this world and end up in that dimension where missing socks and pens go!?

    Summing up 2e garbage: Monstrous Manual...the loose leaf piece-o-crap!! Talk about bad artwork!

    Why isn't our society freaking out over this?

    That's even scarier...if famous, then people care. Why? We should care about them all. Drug trade...maybe, but there's something more insidious taking place here...something evil...evil in the universal sense of the word. Who or what could take children...the innocent of the innocent?

    Why isn't our society freaking out over this?

    It's just creepy and I WILL keep politics out of this; it's a human issue and that's even creepier if one looks between the lines of reality here. The very thing that makes us a successful species is deteriorating on a massive scale. Believe it or not; it's our ability to band together and...

    What did TSR do wrong?

    Thanks for the correction...they had it in a brown box (maybe it was a deluxe edition or something, who knows, I was young) when I saw it. I wanted a copy when I was older for a collection piece. I will check out the ebay for it, lol. It should be interesting to see how much they're going for.

    What did TSR do wrong?

    D&D began as a miniatures wargame called Chainmail. I saw it once years ago...a friend's parents had it actually...it's hard to believe that little box started it all and that it has evolved into a 4rth edition of the game. Things will change and I believe we all have to remember that it is a...

    Woa, interesting...never knew that! Ah the intrigues of thee business world.

    What did TSR do wrong?

    For the most part I enjoyed the 2e material; although the QUALITY was terrible. I still have 1e books that have withstood 20 years of gaming! As far as the mags go...I was surprised they lasted as long as they did, but it was a good run for them both. A testament to a long standing loyal fan...

    What did TSR do wrong?

    Didn't TSR also play around with other genres? Buck Rogers Star Frontiers (Whatever happened to that anyway?) Gamma World They had some great ideas, but no steam to keep them going for long. Pity

    What did TSR do wrong?

    In regards to the elimination of Assassins, half-orcs, and name changing the demons/devils... TSR caught a lot of crap from the 700 club and such as well. The PC onslaught some of us faced then was in part because of the bad press/image of AD&D. I was PO that they caved to the pressure, but the...
