New WotC Poll: What reprint do you want to see next?

Imperator · January 17, 2013, 05:55:37 PM

Quote from: reckall;619250dudes, we have a "would you like to see a reprint of the fucking rules encyclopedia" poll out there - something i never expected to see in my earthly life. And what's the reaction? A lot of people peeing out of the cup because the cornflakes aren't red, blue and green.

You know what we will do? We all vote for a reprint of the avatar trilogy modules - so no one will bleed from the nose because fucking original d&d isn't reprinted to their exact specs.

Really, what are we whining about here? A petition against a free statue of liberty made of gold, delivered free to your house, because you wanted a platinum one? Get a grip.

Quote from: planet algol;619277but... I don't like the rc, and i love od&d. Is that bad of me?

if you do not vote for the rc then the terrorists win!!!!!!

Quote from: Sacrosanct;619285Add one more vote to the "Moldvay B/X is better than RC" crowd.

I wish it was still available as a boxed set. It was the best entry to the game for a teenager and it would help recruiting new gamers.

Quote from: Raven;619275PDF's are being uploaded to DriveThruRPG as we speak. Basic series modules for $4.95. Check out ENWorld's twitter page.

If that's true - and evidence seems to be stacking up for it - that's pretty damn exciting. I find it more exciting than the poll on further reprints. I just hope that the scan quality/DPI-level/appearance is better than some of the module pdfs that I purchased ~3 years ago.

QuoteBig Purple just deleted the discussion thread they had going about it. Classy as always.

Seriously? Were they trying to shut down rumor-mongering? What the hell kind of stupid-ass excuse would they have for stifling that discussion?

Rules Cyclopedia no contest.

Tahmoh · January 17, 2013, 06:28:21 PM

Rules Cyclopedia if only to piss off the ebay sellers who think charging £99 for a ratty as heck copy of the original is a fair deal

Kinda perplexed by Illithiad on the list myself tbh as the Sea Devils and I Tyrant books were alot better, my guess is they felt they should bung a 2e book in there and that was the only one they could find at the time.

elfandghost · January 17, 2013, 06:39:18 PM

Of course RC. Though (and I realise it isn't strictly an original product) a Gold Box Basic that included Red Box rules as printed, along with Companion and Expert rules.

Quote from: beeber;619258an RC reprint really is just :idunno: to me. moldvay b/x is "my" edition, and all i need. i eventually picked up the RC on ebay some years ago, and find it lackluster. ergo my vote.

besides, this reprint stuff is just WotC playing "appease the grogs" while they still don't re-release the pdfs.

No Moldvay/Cook made me sad too. RC is ok...but then again I can't stand the Mentzer BECMI line. I didn't like how spread out it was and HATE Elmore art.

Thankfully I have my B/X books at home and they make me happy.

Quote from: francisca;619212I'd be content if I could redownload the stuff I've already paid for.

Truth!

Jacob Marley · January 18, 2013, 12:18:31 AM

I'll be shocked if RC doesn't win.

Re: the PDFs - Is this exclusive to DriveThruRPG? I had previously made all my purchases of the PDFs from Paizo. It would be nice to have access to those downloads again.

Quote from: Libertad;619156Remember, a vote for Rules Cyclopedia is a vote for Freedom!

Aaron Allston 2013!

In other news the latest poll What best describes your DMing style? is finished. "Entertaining/Fun" got 7% of the vote.

I voted RC!

Drohem · January 18, 2013, 12:39:11 PM

Ok, out of the limited choices I voted for RC too. Also, I voted that dwelfs are dumber than a CG half-orc paladin.

Philotomy Jurament · January 18, 2013, 01:09:51 PM

Voted GDQ, although I'd want it to be a compilation of the complete originals, rather than a reprint of Queen of Spiders.

If they'd chosen the World of Greyhawk instead of Greyhawk Adventures (which sucked), that would be in the running, too.

Yes, a box set goes without saying. B/X is still, IMO, the best entry game. And it's also a fantastic we've-been-playing-for-ages-and-it-still-rules game.

I've been running B2 for the past 4 months (fortnightly) and its a great module. Granted there's a pile of stuff that got added in as we went along, but that's part of why it's great. No amount of improvising can break B2!

The other poll on the page makes me want to self-defense an orphanage in the face.

danbuter · January 19, 2013, 01:00:29 AM

I voted for RC, but I also would LOVE a hardback, combined and sorted version of Moldvay. That game is fantastic. Especially if they could keep the art.
