[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 7773584, member: 11760"] Released in 2006, 1997 and 2005. If you have those products and don't find this useful, rock on. Not every product is about or for you. (I have no interest in 99 percent of the big campaign books WotC has put out, although the summoning Tiamat storyline, amusingly, is the exact same one as a long running campaign I had just finished off when it was announced.) But today's new gamers shouldn't be required to hunt down a 22 year old source book so that they can run 35+ year old adventures. As mentioned in Kate Welch's video interview, vehicle rules are already in the DMG. This clarifies and expands them, with lots of sample sea vessels. It's optional content for people who want it. Based on reaction online, it seems like a lot of people think it sounds good. Because those adventures are 35+ years old, most people never subscribed to Dungeon, much less kept all the adventures handy, and to many of today's gamers, these [I]are[/I] new adventures. (I've never run any of the Dungeon adventures, for instance.) The people who have a D&D collection dating back to at least 1E are the minority and are not representative of the gaming population as a whole. WotC is producing new content for you, but not every product will be. [/QUOTE]
