Way OT - 5th edition of D&D on the way

[raketenjagdpanzer]

I'm on the list of playtesters and will hopefully get a crack at it.

I feel like Paul LeMat as John Milner in American Graffiti when Erin Moran wanted to listen to the Beach Boys in his car. He angrily turns the radio off and growls "Rock and Roll has been goin' downhill since Buddy Holly died!" - I feel the same about D&D - it's been goin' downhill since AD&D 1e died.

Still, Wizards of the Coast is winning at least some of my dollars back by reprinting - for a limited time, anyway - the three big AD&D books (Dungeon Masters Guide, Monster Manual, Players Handbook) and donating some of the money to Gail Gygax for a memorial for Gary. Hey! There's my on-topicness; he worked with GDW for a while

I'd love to see some crazy billionaire buy up the GDW IP and reprint Twilight:2000 1.0 boxed sets and supplements, but it isn't gonna happen.

Inasmuch as I'll probably never get to play a proper T2k game, though, one of the things I do love about this place is the relative lack of any sort of forum drama at all. 1.0? 2.0? 2.2? T2k13? Whatevs, it's all good.

Okay except for Twilight:2013 that one is just junk.
