Dudes, 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.
For every idiot who denounces Ayn Rand as "intellectualism" there is an excellent DM who creates a "Bioshock" adventure.

an 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.

I am in your camp, but I'm obviously biased.

In fact, as a vile, scheming initiate of the Cult of D&D RC, I am somewhat relieved that there's no real competition against the RC in that poll, save for GDQ and ToEE.

I mean, Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue? Really? That book made me angry merely by dint of existing, and made me hate FR almost as much as forty minutes of "who would win a fight, Drizzt or Elminster?" canon-wank from the insufferable, novel-reading AD&D 2e FR-heads back at high school. It took over 15 years for me to discover the FR 1e gray box and think that maybe FR is not as bad as I thought.

Also The Illithiad. Such a classic. :rolleyes:

I voted RC before I realized I could do none of the above and enter in my own... Which would have been B/X...

I own a copy of the Moldvey Basic box thanks to a friend, but I really would like a copy of the Expert set as well... A reprint of both together would be so awesome.

PDF's are being uploaded to DriveThruRPG as we speak. Basic series modules for $4.95. Check out ENWorld's twitter page.

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

But... I don't like the RC, and I love OD&D. Is that bad of me?
Yeah, but who gives a fuck? You? Jibba?

Well congrats. No one else gives a shit, so your arguments are a waste of breath.

Quote from: languagegeek;619176None of the above: Moldvay B/X. I'm disappointed it wasn't on the poll.

Ah, so much do I want this. The RC is nice, but I think the art and layout of the Moldvay B/X books is far superior.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Add one more vote to the "Moldvay B/X is better than RC" crowd.
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.

I didn't realize that had already been posted. I should have checked back another page.
