This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I don't know about all editions, but he did say he only breaks out AD&D books once a year.  March of last year I believe
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Just make your fuckin\' guy and roll the dice, you pricks. Focus on what\'s interesting, not what gives you the biggest randomly generated virtual penis.  -- J Arcane
 
You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

90's?

It was 1986 back when Ally Sheedy was still hot. :)
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

Back when Steve Guttenberg was an A lister.  I think he had a window of what?  2 years?  Like a firecracker.  Came at once, blew up huge, and then left just as quickly

Well not quite :-) didn't specify old school, any gaming (preferably D&D related) would have been relevant to the discussion.

Nope. He's referring to No. 5 of the site's Code of Conduct - sigged by yours truly, but compiled by the gentleman you're responding to.
"Role-playing as a hobby always has been (and probably always will be) the demesne of the idle intellectual, as roleplaying requires several of the traits possesed by those with too much time and too much wasted potential."

New to the forum? Please observe our d20 Code of Conduct!

A great RPG blog (not my own)

Was going to add in   Yes this is live face to face in person, not any of that play by post or over the net bullshit.
But that would be rubbing it in.

Bottom line is. So far Pundit was right. Yes. Miracles do occur! Praise Gygax!

Despite Mearls and WOTCs best efforts to make things appear totally off kilter at first. Yes. Miracles do occur! Praise Loraine!

Points to WOTC and Mearls for previewing pages as they go.
