    I will, if I hear a good review, I have learnt never to buy a game on a whim. POR:2 still haunts me

    [​IMG] Unless I hear HUGE negative reviews, I'll go for it. I miss Greyhawk :( I like new games.

    Also, doesn't it just sound like the Temple of Elemental Evil just needs a good thrashing by a Paladin / Cleric type! :good:

    PLUS ... what would I SPAM about on SP if I didn't keep up with the various games! So sign me up for Temple of Elemental Evil, the Jefferson Project, etc.

    On a side note ... I had a weird thought that this whole idea was hatched by Tal & Vermillion, just to see how excited they could get the forum about a load of nothing. ;)

    [​IMG] :hmm: that would have been a good idea, but no nothing to do with me. Why would you have thought that Mat? :confused:
    Besides, why would Tal ask me to be involved in pulling the wool over your eyes? lol :good:

    EDIT: Arrrgh the computer still thinks it's shell :bang: Nevermind, it me Vermillion posting this. DOH! :nolike:

    Vermillion ... I picked you because you are as likely a candidate as anyone else, and I'll never trust anyone from Oodersfield again! (long story) ;)

    [​IMG] I'd like to see a game based on that fantastic early dnd module: "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks!" That was a blast!!!

    If I have a job, and the box art is cool, I will act like a sucker and buy the game no matter how bad it is. I just hope the game lives up to its DnD roots

    Absolutely, unless it gets bad reviews, i.e. Pool of Radience 2.

    Same as above for me. I need a little more info on the game and on the Greyhawk setting which I know absolutly nothing about.

    But I'm sure I'll pick it up. Unless of course it gets horrid reviews.

    As with any D&D game I'm very interested, but I will wait until it's released and see what people have to say about the game in Your Friendly Neighborhood Message Boards. This wait and see what SP posters say tactic helped me avoid The Coaster With Cool Box Art that was POR.

    I already own all the other games on this board, so how could I not buy this one. I just hope it lives up to the hype.

    [​IMG] After having read the interview with Tim Cain I at this point actually know a fair deal about the game.

    Imagine reliving the "Temple"! Oh gosh! ;)
    There is no review on earth bad enough to keep me from buying this game. :love:

    Everything sounds cool, but the turn-based gameplay gives me PoR shivers.
    Pretty please be a nice game.

    I am pretty lame here. Can someone point out a link or to to some reviews on the "Jefferson Project", it's too hard to surf for it.

    Thanks in advance.

    If TOEE has turn based like POR2, that is no pause and a time limit, then I won't get it. If it is turn based without a real time limit, so I can think about my actions, then I'll get it.

    [​IMG] TJP hasn't even been officially announced yet, let alone had any previews. And anyway, this is the wrong forum for it. Use The Playground for speculation on it. Veldrin regularly posts board clips about it on the front page.

    I'll probably buy the game as long as I don't hear about any serious bugs.
    I'd also like someone to clarify the setting, the story, etc. I hear everyone talking about "the good old days of Greyhawk" and I dont understand what they're talking about.
