"Hey, we've got a killer half written D&D game for you"? [/B]


"No Thanks! Rather do our own game than finish someone elses!"

That's what I'd say. Maybe.

Plus JE Sawyer mentioned that Jefferson was rather dark compared to WotC's guidelines for D&D adventures. That was one of the reasons he let it go; he'd rather not do it than let WotC gut it and turn it into a saccharine sickly-sweet Famous Five adventure.

That's a pity. D&D is at its best when it's dark.

That would be why they print out dozens of fair to thickish books consisting solely of lists of creepy things that gnaw the top of your head off, yes. And why basically the entire freakin' planet is trying to kill you out of sheer spite in any given game.

They ain't Lovecraft (more's the pity, I'd actually be interested in a scary tabletopper. I think.), but it's pretty silly to say that much is "too dark" for D&D.

Hard Light Productions owners of Freespace. Better than Interplay. :D

BIS really started dying after Bioware, who developed the engines for all their games, jumped ship to Atari. It appears Bioware can survive without BIS, but BIS can't survive without Bioware....

WoTC has a bunch of guidelines for liscensed products about how good must prevail in the end or if evil wins it must be a phyrric victory, etc. etc. *sigh*

That's pretty funny!
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Oh sorry, are we still doing that whole 'sore point' thing when FS3 is mentioned? I thought everyone had gotten bored of that. My bad.
