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.

Quote from: danskmacabre;1128092Yeah my copy of UA fell to bits after a while.  It was a real mess and I looked after my books too.

It's very notable that 1e UA was badly printed and prone to falling apart, just like the 1e DMG is famously sturdy.

Quote from: sureshot;1127619In my gaming circles we enjoyed it and though did not use it too much. We were mostly happy with using the 1E core. As we began gaming at the end of 1E run and switched over to 2E.

Nor did we call it the imaginary names other posters are trying to say they did at the time of release. I like many of the posters at the time was between 12 and 14 and was not a pretentious edgelord at that age. Or trying to pretend they were. Like everyone else they called it by the proper name. Everything else is bullshit.

Rock on, man!

For me it was like any of the other D&D books: Some parts I liked and used in my games, other parts I didn't like and didn't use. And a few seemed worth trying, but turned out to be unsuitable.
Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace
