I was emailed this link www.eyeofthebeholdermovie.com/ and I was really excited to check it out. Then when I followed the link to The Eye of The Beholder I then was disappointed to find out that it was not a movie about a beholder as the Big Bad, but a movie subtitled "The Art of Dungeons & Dragons". Now a movie about the Art of D&D is pretty cool, but it is a shame that it was deceptively named in what is a bait and switch. They should have just used the subtitle as the movie title instead of deceiving us about what the movie was about. |

My take away is that we are living in a golden age of OD&D I would call the Golden Age 1971-1977. After that (skipping the Silver Age) we had a Bronze Age, Copper Age, Tin Age, Lead Age, Clay Age, and now WotC has returned to a new Copper Age II and for OD&D fans, we are in a new Silver Age which has the potential to bloom into a new Golden Age II. If things go well, WotC might be forced to return to a new Bronze Age II when someday 6E is published where thinks from the playtests that did not make it into 5E that would have reportedly made it a better game are finally included. There are ways that WotC could go to reach a new Silver Age of their own or even a new Golden Age of their own. If WotC took OD&D and the original supplements, collected things from the Strategic Review and The Dragon, First Fantasy Campaign, Adventures in Fantasy. Then pull in the fan made clones retro games and supplements. Then wrote a new organized OD&D (otherwise very similar to the original) and about 20 supplements from all of this material and then sold it on pdf and POD. That would be a true Golden Age. The Greyhawk & Eldrich Wizardy & Gods, Demi-Gods and Heroes Supplements would not change much aside from organization and formatting, but the Blackmoor Supplement could be redone based on all of the Arneson stuff that we have now (likely even two or three or even four digest sized Blackmoor Supplements). Of course WotC should put me in charge of it.  And of course everyone gets paid. The OD&D would be in a box and for every five supplements you buy you get an additional box. |

You should write that up AND I want a copy.  |
