I don't.... It hurts too much to see so much that I want and not have the money for it. Anyone try not eating so you would have money for games? I think that's my next step. Does anyone want to buy my damn m:tg cards?

sad but true.  

Besides I eat too much expensive (unhealthy) food anyway - rice and beans here we come!

I missed this thread the first time around.....I have to say, I just can't figure out the binders. It's hard to believe that something as poorly constructed as these ever passed muster in R&D....

My least favourite product is NOT the dragonlance stuff....those mods were AWESOME when it came to screwing with the players!

"OK, Sturm, you die at the end of this one, you know that right?"
"What? What do you mean?"
"Well, that's what happens in the book."
"But this is the game!"
"Sorry, dude, better luck next time."
"Geez...well, can I play somebody else after this, then? How 'bout the dwarf?"
"Sorry, no man, you're dead."
"But nobody is playing the dwarf. Nobody ever plays the dwarf..."
"No."
"But!"
"That's it. You're dead. You can watch, though. And the pretzel bowl could use a refill. Thanks man. You're a sport."

DL was good for about three of those! But the best part was making the guy who played Gilthanas make out with the dragon in the stream.

I find it hard to hate any product from the good ol' days, but the RA Salvatore novels and the whole cliquey grunge stupid ass trenchcoat mafia double scimitar drow ranger thing still rots my balls.

Coming up second, everything ever created after 1st edition AD&D.

Ditto on the WSG and DSG.   Absolute crap.  

I'd go along with your second point, with the exception of Goodman Games and some of Necromancer Games' stuff (like Necropolis).

Well I meant by TSR or Wallet$ of the Co$t, but yeah, Necromancer and Goodman do some okay(ish) stuff.  Goodman sells the look and the look only, though.  There's nothing really old-school about their mods once you get past the surface (IMO).

That's EXACTLY why I love the old stuff so much. It is so bare bones and to the point. It is all about creativity and really, as kids, whether you are aware of it or not, one of the best things is to be trusted and who was more trusting than Gygax and those guys? It was all about "here's an idea, now go make it your own."

What, you don't have that one?
Well, I have a copy of the illo, at least.
No, I'm Evil, I don't share.

That's why you're the man.

No, I am currently not working (at a real job anyway) so I check probably 10-15 times a day. Maybe it's because I'm fairly new here, or maybe it's because my inner geek has finally been let free, who knows.

Worst product ever? So far, my vote goes to anything Spelljammer related. Guess by the number of books and modules I see in original shrink many others felt the same way!
