Topic: D&D 5e
Subject: ...
I suspect it'll be more recognisably D&D than 4e and an attempt to win over Pathfinder people back to the 'brand'.
I doubt I'll play it unless, as Almerin suggests, there are people I want to play with who only know that system.

An iPhone app would be funky, if very difficult to do.

I really liked it! So it'd be great if you do get it up again.

Is anyone else as excited about this as I am?
Unfortunately, not being a kid any more means I will only be able to play it next weekened at the earliest. Still, I can't wait!

I really enjoyed it. When I first saw Dason Willett, though, it did take me a while to realise he was a man!

Subject: Dungeon or Dragon Magazines Archive?
Does anyone know of a decent place to download old copies of Dungeon and/or Dragon (as in the old magazines pre-3rd ed.)?
I used to know a place but it's now defunct.

Subject: THAC0's Hammer
Does anyone listen to the THAC0's Hammer podcast? I discovered it recently and I think it's really, really good.
For the uninitiated, it's a podcast focused on everything AD&D (or '2nd Edition'), discussing weird rules, the original splat books, old Dungeon adventures, etc.

Topic: Are you ready for 5e? Do you care?
Subject: *nods*
Yep I agree with Raven. The AD&D 'Skills & Powers' and 'Combat & Tactics' were both excellent books. I've still got Combat & Tactics somewhere, but, sadly, I lost the first some time ago.

Topic: Are you ready for 5e? Do you care?
Subject: Talking about 2E
Since Grugg mentioned dear old AD&D, maybe someone should re-release physical versions of some of the old 2nd ed. books. I'm sure everyone's books have got lost, damaged or tatty over the years.

Topic: Are you ready for 5e? Do you care?
Subject: Hmm...
The problem with 4th edition is (was?) that it compared poorly to previous versions of D&D. The takeover of TSR by Hasbro resulted in D&D being a lot more wargamey, which was not always a bad thing. In the Hasbro era, the direction seems to have been to compete with MMOs, by making combat flashier etc.
The problem with the latter approach is that combat now takes forever unless you know every power intimately, and in making D&D a kind of MMO-lite, 4th edition lost what made earlier editions so special. That D&D was great because it was more grown up than a computer or war game. That the game is nothing without a focus on story, and on pointing neophyte DMs away from the cheap thrills of combat and towards the more lasting joy of an immersive narrative.
I have played 4th edition, and have enjoyed it in parts, but those parts were in spite and not because of the rules.

Topic: Are you ready for 5e? Do you care?
Subject: Don't care at all
I heard about this yesterday. I don't, frankly, care at all. After 3.5 edition (the pain of having to re-buy new versions of books that I had only bought a few years previously), and 4th edition (which was crap), I'm twice-bitten and very shy.

Topic: Where have all the Star Wars games gooooooone?
Subject: I blame Jar Jar
I wonder if it's the Phantom Menace effect? Some of the magic of the Star Wars universe had been dissipated somewhat with the crappy portrayals of Darth Vader as a snotty-nosed kid and then lovelorn teenager.
I always like to play in Star Wars games though, because the Universe is so large it gives everyone huge creative freedom.
