JPQuinn Wrote:Maybe not "your type" (though I wouldn't consider 3e old enough to be grog-worthy yet). But if you like Blackmoor, Wilderlands, the 3e Dungeon Crawl Classics series, and anything from 3e that was "retro-styled," then you'll love Destiny.
Looks nice enough, but will the NPC files be on cards, like for 4e and WHFRPG 3e?
Because that would be a major downer for me.
JPQuinn Wrote:C) like The Final Fantasy Campaign (aka - Blackmoor 4e) and even Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition as a whole, Destiny is also a progressive and visionary masterpiece of game mechanics which would have most assuredly piqued Dave's interest

If you really called it that way, I shall introduce this character to my next adventure:

Sure, and much obliged. (Oh, you didn't mean me?! :oops: )
JPQuinn Wrote:I would say Dave had ideas and enough written information for a least another 500 to 1000 pages. And the development teams scrambled to keep up with him. So, I don't think there would have ever been an "end" to the information that he had. I'm sure Greg and Robert (both on this board and played in his first campaign) can attest to that.
Do you have any idea what happened to Dave's writings after the end of the license? - I mean, even though Blackmoor is out, there are still things like the "Adventures in Fantasy" and other games that would be worth a look for a grognard.
JPQuinn Wrote:And as for the 3e books. A great deal of info is in there, but there is a bunch missing that we weren't allowed to touch (due to licensing agreements).
Like, for example...?

I had somewhat of the same problem - creepy when you think how long ago this was...
