But I guess there's too many legal/copyright issues involved to make this happen on a more regular basis. <br />And it's not just the fond memory of rolling dice kids are missing out on, but gaming with their friends in-person.Ted Henklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676165583937816802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536986545417774233.post-60821747813899207512016-08-24T19:13:46.487-07:002016-08-24T19:13:46.487-07:00I have to say, and I'm pretty biased, that the...I have to say, and I'm pretty biased, that the 3rd Ed. D20 was the best move Wizard ever did, and this book is a result of that OGL process. If I recall right, and my memory of 2003 is sketchy at best (I was in Korea at the time, so out of touch with the latest and greatest in the US...), that this title was a buildup by Blizzard and WotC to the release of the MMO World of Warcrack...rrrr...craft in 2004. Events in this book take place after Warcraft III (which I spent a lot of time playing in Korea in 2003...) or during it. Being a D20 gamer, and big computer gamer (and WOW addict...), I think this is one of the great under-rated games of its time. Sadly, most pen and paper RPGs based on computer games don't seem to catch on, which is sad given the numerous spawn of D&D on the computer gaming scene. But then, kids who grew up with the luxury of computer to crunch numbers don't have the same fond memory of rolling dice with friends face to face...SudsySutherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092543709040027460noreply@blogger.com
