@ViralVideoCriticBeta They are putting out the core rule books for 1st edition by Gygax. They will be hard back with an old school look. They come out this year, and money will go to a Gygax memorial statue for each sale.

I'm sure it's been asked, but: what is the song on this video? I want to hear more!

@capie44 Hogwash. It's liberals who seek to impose their way of thinking on everyone and to control them.

[ViralVideoCriticBeta]

@capie44 I know what you mean. I mean, the DM's word IS law, right? So, why wouldn't you want to put your imagination to work. I agree, a DM with his nosed buried in his various rulebooks trying to look up how the wind velocity and direction affects the fart of a player character in regards to his enemies around the bend detecting his party makes for a very boring game. I"d just wing it...rules be damned...lol

@ViralVideoCriticBeta I agree. I think there are two schools of thought on the game- Conservative (3-4e) and Liberal (1-2e). The game-lawyers who needed black and white thinking, and strict rules enjoy 3-4e, and the liberals who enjoy imagination, creativity, and impulsivness enjoy D&D and AD&D. May you never sneeze on a githyanki (FF).

@ViralVideoCriticBeta  I agree, but I still have all my modules and books. I kept them down to half-a-dozen because I noticed when DM's I playe with had more, they spent most of the game-time with their nose in their different pedia's trying to impress me with their ability to have the information. I just left it up to the individual group when their wasn't a rule listed. It made for more fun, variety, and imagination. Thumb-up

@capie44 Oh ok.....that makes sence....thanks!

@tangentslayer Village of Hommlet was a great series! I still use it to introduce new gamers to AD&D. I am of the old school who thinks the game died when it went to Wizard's. I loathe it after that sell off.

[capie44]

@MegaVergan Not exactly. There were three boxed sets of different colors back in the late '70's named D&D. By '79, the boxes were combined into books called AD&D. After that, 2nd edition occurred and expanded until the late '90's. This is where Dungeon's and Dragons ended. Gygax (original founder(s)) sold his rights. Then there happened a new game that took the old D&D name and applied it. This allowed the game lawyers open season on the game at the expense of creativity, imagination,&impulse
