Reddit refugee…wasting my time at kbin.social now.
There were a few interesting books published in 1985 by TSR prior to 2nd Edition. Legends and Lore, Unearthed Arcana, and Oriental Adventures.
Legends and Lore was 2e.
The 1985 2nd printing of L&L (where the name was changed and the Lovecraft items were removed) was still under 1st Edition rules. That’s the copy I have.
Was Legends & Lore really originally a 1st edition book?
Yes. Legends & Lore was originally a reprinting of Deities & Demigods with a new title and cover. It was later recast into a 2nd edition book. The 2nd edition version contains new content.
I might still have all the basic D&D rulebooks from Basic through Immortals, however they’re no longer in their boxes.
IIRC Cthulu was in there. However I have Legends & Lore, not Deities & Demigods. Basically the same book, except TSR changed the name because “the devil.”
EDIT
I did not recall correctly. The Lovecraft stuff isn’t in the 2nd printing.
I still have almost the entire first edition library of these at my brother’s house. I need to get them back.
I’m in agreement with you, however I’m going to also add that the creep to a “pay-to-win” game has pretty much been crossed. Not to forget that Bungie decided to drip feed expansion content laced throughout seasonal content this year…that has not been received well.
Destiny players are a salty bunch, but I have to say the current level of furor towards Bungie is pretty legitimate right now. They do overreact; I just feel that this in this current state of the game there is justification behind it.
Regardless, “I hate Destiny; I play every day.”
Nothing ever replaced Google+, which was really popular in my own tech circle.
Except Slack and LinkedIn already kind of fed that niche.
Regardless…the article is pretty much spot on. It’s fairly obvious that social networks are going to come and go; we’ve seen that over the past few decades. Every iteration of social media will revolve around the tech of the hour. I like ActivityPub and Federation because it brings additional options to the user base. It’s an exciting shift.
No, the orange spine books are all 1st Edition rules. They were the second printing published around 1983.
