So, will "Expedition To ... [Wherever]" become a regular WotC feature? Has anyone heard anything?

Demonweb Pits with some 3.5 flava

Love 3.5E or hate it, it has to be said that WOTC seem to be doing their homework when it comes to releases like this. Lets face it anything with the words 'Demonweb Pits' in the title pushes a lot of buttons in the memories of old gamers everywhere. (I genuiunely believe that this is the sort of thing that will get brought at the bookstore by non gamers just 'revisiting' the old days, and buying it just to read).

Which kind of dovetails nicely into a forum like this, because a few of those purchasers are soon going to be seeking out the real old school stuff, and discovering this site on the way. (And expect a bump in Q1 prices in 2007 when this is released )

Looks pretty cool. I just picked up the Ravenloft HC last week or so; nicely put together and very complicated.

I just finish reading the Ravenloft HC - its alright, but I think the setting is gonna be dead again for a while if not forever.  And sucks they offer places in other settings where this could be placed, oh well.

It has been ressurected as a mega adventure (in hardcover) by wizards.  The setting is dead but the adventure lives on in the d20 3.5 world.

Sometimes I wonder if "the next best thing" in computer/video games is really such a big deal.  No, this is not another "back in the day" rant about how much better things were!!  Yes, the games were simpler then, but the graphics and realism on many of the sports games (for example) is far better than "back then".

My only beef is that a company that makes a new game console should make it compatible with old games from previous consoles sold by the same company--i.e. it's already out that PS3's can't play certain PS2 and PS1 games; and not just old games but games that came out fairly recently! (Not a good sign if you are trying to convince people to buy a $500-$600 new console with $50-$60 games.)  Why should I trade in or get rid of the PS2 console, accessories, and games that I spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on for a new system with few, very expensive games and is incompatible with the games I have?

Like when Microsoft went from MS-DOS to Windows; it was difficult to impossible to use some DOS-based programs in Windows operating environment.  That forced me to have to buy Windows-compatible versions of the software I had (not cheap) or give up some of the programs entirely (no Win-compatible version made).  I fear something like that may happen with the new OS that Microsoft is going to come out with (the name of which escapes me).  

King, I agree--it was two and a half years before I got a PS2 (I thought $200.00 was too high a price to pay, and I did NOT have the original PS1) and I got it as a present for my 40th         birthday.
To me, a game that is above $40.00 is expensive; above $50.00 better have a lot of things on it; beyond that, I'll wait, thank you very much!

There will be a heck of a lot more Nintendo Wii's for Sunday (a company that seems to know what its doing unlike Sony). I've been debating getting one since you'll be able to download the old 8-bit games.

One year since Xbox360 launch and you can now pick up the system easily.

The buyer "Mom of 4 psycho kids" must have money to burn . . . who knows?  To some people $6,700 might be like spending $200 to the rest of us.  If money doesn't matter, then she probably just wants to get her psycho kids to shut up and zone out in front of the TV.
