D&D General Discussion: 50 years, 50 publications

I'm going to list the Gazetteers as a single product....

Please don't. Lumping together Orcs of Thar or Atruighan Clans with Glantri or Karameikos doesn't make any sense.

Fair. But that is all my spoon allocation permits today. Consider it withdrawn.

FWIW, I would be inclined to lump together the four volumes of the 2e Encyclopedia Magica as one product, since that much more is one product split into four components (they even share page numbering). Ditto the Wizard's Spell Compendium and Priest's Spell Compendiums from the era. But can see an argument for treating them as individual products just out of fairness. Thoughts?

I'd love to hear the reasoning on why this particular Gazeteer over the others. Is it considered the best of the line?

If you think other Gazetteers should be on the list to upvote, add them too!

I appreciate the spirit behind it, but the process is confusing and probably won't yield the results you hope for. I would suggest something like asking people to list their 10 TSR/WotC D&D products of all time, then compiling them in one ranked list.

It does need to be better organized.

Wizard's Compendium (4-volume set of all 2e arcane spells)

Guess that answers my earlier question!

Unfortunately, you can sort the poll thread chronologically or by votes, but no other way to organize it and also make it user-defined. That said, as I just tested, you can use the forum's search function to search the thread if you're looking for a particular product.

Someone who has me blocked put up a whole bunch of ideas, which I can neither see nor vote on.

Well, there's an issue I never considered. Sorry about that.

Still want to finish this out and see how it goes, but do seem to be enough issues with the experiment to be worth a more conventional followup. (Maybe a normal poll that includes every product suggested in the thread?)

 

[JEB]

OK, I guess the experiment is going to have to end early. There are now duplicate products being posted in the list, presumably because some posters can't see what other posters have posted. Sorry everyone!

I'd still like to see an ENWorld Top 50, though! I'll try something like @Mercurius's suggestion instead. Watch this space.
