Ummm, yes, it does, Pain.
Now if it were titled "Rewriting of Greyhawk Ruins for Mindless Teen Powergamers", that would be different. Well, no, it would still be shit.....

So your saying that all d20 is shit, and no one should buy d20 because it is shit, and people shouldnt waste money on shit?  Right?

So why this?


** expired/removed eBay auction **


Is Goodman Games stuff different?  It still has d20 on it so I would assume that by your definition that it is nothing but crap.  I am not trying to pick a fight Frank but when people like Afrika Corps make statements like this one:

If you say so... Im not going to throw 35$ away for some d20 crap just because its got the word Greyhawk in it. Have you bought this already? Ever think thats the whole point of making the item, to try and trick old gamers into the trap. A marketing tactic. Have you actually read the copy?

Of course its a marketing tactic.  A tactic that is designed to target old and new gamers alike.  Why would WoTC not want to include the older gamers in the audience they are trying to reach?  With all of the complaints over the years about the Greyhawk setting not getting any respect from WoTC you would think that more people would be open to stuff like this.

I really do wonder how some of the newer products ever recieved the funding to ever get published, a total insult to the buyers. Kinda like a low budget movie.

And this I really dont understand at all.  Not that it has anything to do with the topic at hand but some of the better movies ever made were low budget.

[/i]Halloween, Clerks, Reservoir Dogs, and El Mariachi just to name a few.  AK, if the only movies you enjoy are $100 million special effects extravaganzas then I would think that something like Expedition to Castle Greyhawk would be just the thing for you since apparently it is nothing but filler, rehashed plot, and overhyped crap.  Even though no one has any idea since it hasnt even been released yet.[/b]

King, I don't want to speak for Frank, but I am pretty sure that US only auction was bid on by him on behalf of someone else.

Well if that is the case then I wont throw any more stones his way.  But as much venom as he uses to describe d20/3E I wouldnt be surprised if he refused to bid on it even for someone else.  

Let me just reiterate something: I DON'T LIKE d20/3E rules either!  But that doesnt mean that everything that is released for said rules is a waste of money.

Ah, poor KingofPain89, you fail to see among these boards, like at Dragonsfoot, if it's not Scottish...I mean 1E, it's automatically crap.

Arguing anything other that praise on 1e on 1e/grognard boards is like debating the benefits of Western civilization to an Islamic Fundamentalist.

It will only end in flames/tears/bitching/etc.

Oh, you mean kind of like over on the WotC boards the way you get smacked down like a hooker that came up short in her "protection fees" if actually you have the temerity to try and say anything other than 3E is the greatest game ever created by mankind.....

I will buy this item and decide for myself.  All of D20 is not crap. Many items are very good. Of course I just posted the link for interest, not to have people jump up and down crying about how much of a rip-off it is.

hmmm... click... click..  wow!!!    

Ahhh, where to begin with all of the envy I'm bathed in at the moment?

Frank's wit, or his new Playstation?  Damn, my life is empty!  I'm still clunking around with my son's PS2.  Did you get a PS3, Frank?  I'm tempted to get one just for Motorstorm.  Now THERE'S a good time.

Wouldn't know, the irony is I only go there for the Mystara and Dark Sun forums, and an occasional Eberron foray.  But, given the behavior of most on these boards, I would assume the ONLY reason for typing www.wizards.com into a browser was for the explicit purpose of trolling.

And for Deadlords comments, well...he's not on ignore because he makes me laugh.  You know, like watching the Special Olympics.

Here's another mini-rant which says nothing about d20.

Was it penned by Gygax and Kuntz?  Then it isn't Castle Greyhawk.  Just another attempt to cash in on the Castle Greyhawk name by creating a castle of that name yet not involving the two men who created the castle in the first place.

Unfortunately, the real Castle Greyhawk will likely remain unseen for all eternity, as Gary prefers to let it languish in the dustbin of history, despite clamoring from all corners begging him to publish it.  He never understood why people wanted to see his campaigns, when they could create their own.  And thus, we have various "Castle Greyhawk" adventures that don't take place in THE Castle Greyhawk.

Sorry, but I think I'll pass.

What I find funny is that Mr. FilthyIke is himself doing what he claims others on this site do: going to other sites for the sole purpose of trolling.  Or am I the only one to see the irony here?

No, I am a fan of all editions, and buy and collect all.  I have just lost my patience with most 1e collectors, much like I have trouble tolerating most new breed power gamers playing 3rd ed.

I would just like to browse and collecting site without having to wade through the drivel of ass-hats trying to...ah screw it, I stopped caring while typing.

I collect it all, 1st ed, 2nd ed, 3.??  There is ,lots of good about every edition IMHO
