No indeedy it doesn't.
But outside of WoTC site, it's probably the largest community of gamers for a specific game.

A river flows through the caverns, though it appears motionless. The river can be used to negotiate the caverns, but entry or exit by the river is impossible. The entry point of the river is a narrow rivulet, about 6 inches wide, that wends its way through the mountain, feeding the river with a small but steady stream of rain and glacial water. The river flows deeper into the mountain, but its course takes the water through miniscule cracks that allows only a trickle and no visible flow.

skeetyrbug said:I hate to do this normally, but I agree with Joe, if wotc really wanted to put out a good product, they would be looking at "large" gatherings of their terget audience to read the scuttlebut.

IMO, the part of the line you omiited is the more telling of the staement. yes, we did have to jump in, at some point. I guess I was lucky to have older players with more experience to DM us to start. We did not, ever have someone from TSR telling us the way to game, however. One of the big tag lines back in the day was run your game the way you want, dont be a slve to the rules, yadda yadda yadda. Took that to heart, played and learned, and became a DM who could run a campaign on my own.Maggan said:That's what we had to do, all those twenty odd years ago. Pick up a book and run. We didn't have the luxury of being players first, we just had to dive straight into DMing.![]()
It sure hooked me. Trial and error were the theme of them days. Mostly error, of course.
