Writing Prompts & Talking Points.

[xizallian]

How about everyone add ideas to this thread so that we will all give each other ideas about what to write about, along with reading each others posts.

I would suggest everyone write about these ideas that The Semi-Retired Gamer posted in his first post.

#1

On a personal level, if you're a fan of OD&D then I would like to echo the recommendations of others to have some sort of reunion game. Some members of your old playing group still reside nearby? Send out an invitation to have a reunion session. If you have a blog, you could post some memories of OD&D game sessions or post an old character or some homebrewed OD&D material. There are a ton of possibilities.

#2

When it comes to Wizards/Hasbro I have a simple idea - make OD&D and the supplements print on demand at DriveThruRPG; even if for a limited time. I have the pdfs but I would buy pod just so I wouldn't have to print them out myself and assemble the books. I know they did the wooden box reprint set but this would allow people that missed out on that to own physical copies as well. That's not anything extravagant and it would be easy to do for the 50th anniversary.

Thanks for the shout out and I will add some recommendations in a bit...

I will do that in my next post and #2 we need to beat the drum for that one all year long.

Also note that Chainmail and Swords & Spells is available as POD, but OD&D and the Four Supplements are not.

I will do it.
