[QUOTE="DClingman, post: 1705111, member: 11131"] Well thanks for that opinion. I have to disagree with you though. We are not making anyone buy anything. Maybe you should just wait till you see it. If you want you laser sword, that's no problem, go get it. The campaign is relaunching pretty much from the go. At this point, nobody knows about what might have been the Temple of the Frog, Nobody knows about what might have been the Valley of the Ancients or the identity of the great and powerful Egg of Coot. There is alot of history, but most of the players we have/will have are not going to have played through those things. We have to re-explain them for all the new players. This way just made more sense. Think about the other side of the coin. We are also trying to deal with the OD&D crowd that thinks any 3e rulesets are a waste of space. They want fluff, fluff and more fluff. No book can be all things to everyone. That's a fact that my friends Ari and Colin helped me realize about a year ago. Try to evaluate Dave Arneson's Blackmoor for what it is, not what it is not in your mindset. If you must have that laser sword, I will stat it out just for you, but you have to remember that no everyone has the knowledge about Blackmoor that you think you will have about this version. :) It won't be boring, that I can promise you.
