mbassoc2003 wrote in POD's on eBay:I held back my post a couple of days ago for wont of not enflaming the conversation further, but here goes anyways...What happens when WotC open up their entire back catalog and give it away to everyone for free?One monthly subscription gets you access to all the new 5e content and the entire back catalog of WotC/TSR for free in digital form, and anything you want PoD at cost delivered to your door.Infinite permanent PDF availability (basically just changing the URLs and opening up Google searching to the current status quo anyways), and near infinite PoDs available at cost to the reseller market.What happens when WotC adopt the subscription model in earnest?
Skullhammer wrote in POD's on eBay:Luckily, WotC is run by cultural zealots and won’t provide any kind of mass subscription service without adding wrong-think warnings (or just outright sterilize them) to each of their “old school” products. It’ll be easy to distinguish between new and original versions.

Skullhammer wrote in POD's on eBay:I don’t know who Justin LaNasa is, but I’m clearly being hyperbolic. That said, my point stands. “Warning” labels on old-school products is fairly common, and WotC has shown that they fall squarely into that camp. So, how am I wrong?
for_the_love_of_the_stuff wrote in POD's on eBay:Oh nooo, rEEEEEE, the warning label touched me in my no-no place! DaMn LiBrUlZNewsflash, there's a lot of questionable shit in 70s & 80s modules that just isn't acceptable in modern society.

The Dragon #3NOTES ON WOMEN & MAGICby Len LakofkaThere will be four major groups in which women may enter. Theymay be FIGHTERS, MAGIC USERS, THIEVES and CLERICS. Theymay progress to the level of men in the area of magic and, in some ways,surpass men as thieves. Elven women may rise especially to high levels inclerics to the elves. Only as fighters are women clearly behind men in allcases but even they have attributes that their male counterparts do not!
