Quote from: CalithenaCool, no need for more discussion here. My mind's made up. D&D 3, here I come! All my other games, out the door to Ebay you go!

Dude, let us know when they go up for auction will you?

If you want to make an early offer on something there's a list here:

I already sold the Erol Otus books though.

Pierce, your book got sent out, I'd anticipate it being there by the end of the week.

I can't justify spending any money on RPGs at the moment, but I'll swap you some character portraits. I'm interested in HB and DitV.

This is the only example I have online:

Droog -

Don't know that I'm giving those two up, actually.

But I like your art. Do you do monsters and stuff too?

Yes, I do. I don't draw as much as I used to, so an excuse might be good.

Aha!

Now I just have to write a module and I can hire you to do the art!

It's an ill wind that blows nobody good.

You are going to regret this later. Don't do it.

That said, keeping your 3.* game
a) core only
b) in the low levels (in 3.*, that's 1st to 7th)
is the road to painless gaming. Beyond that, the crunch starts to become so thick that it's hard to keep track anymore. Well, good luck and all, but I'm not following you there. (he said, looking over a field strewn with mangled corpses)

Quote from: CalithenaNice channeling of Gary, Melan.

Isn't it funny how an attitude that was mercilessly ridiculed in the late 70s has become standard expectations for many? Just  see the WotC boards for examples.

Well, can you really blame us?  The glut of absolute shit that has flooded the market since the release of the OGL is absolutely staggering.  We're talking Atari 2600, vidgame crash of '84 levels of shit.  

I mean fuck, look at Mongoose.  They basically got where they are by just dumping asstons of badly edited, badly written tripe, and when that stopped being profitable and their audience wised up, they jsut started buying up licenses like they were going out of style.

Wizards' stuff ain't exactly 100% quality ever time, but they make a hell of a lot more effort that any of the competition, which is why they're still the biggest producer of D&D sourcebooks, despite that being supposedly what the OGL was to prevent them from having to produce in such bulk.

Hi Melan -

With the game sale, I'm not selling everything, I will regret it, and it's not really because I'm dumping everything for 3e, it's because I'm desperately in need of cash this summer.
