Fair point. So what you do is let the mage recover some spells while resting in the wilderness, like blasting spells that do damage to one target. So magic missile would be easily recovered, while fireball would require a trip back to civilisation and looking up the books to recover, for example.

I'd say that the five minute work day is the biggest problem. Resting and recharging all your spells is far too easy in 3.5, often at no penalty whatsoever to the party. Remove the spells that give wizards safe extradimensional spaces they can sleep in, and lower the number of spells recharged...

1. Do the Star Wars thing of different ages, and treat them as mostly separate entities. So you can release books for the Grey Box era, the 2nd/3rd Edition era (which are mostly similar) and the Spellplague era, as well as going even further back into history. It would be interesting to see...

How would recording some of the seminars at the convention, for streaming purposes or later uploading to YouTube go down?

Great review. Might I ask a few questions about the physical book? How heavy is it, and how easily does it lay open at the table?

Eh, the package is already being shared on certain popular imageboards. That was inevitable.

And then you've got someone like me, who's introduction to gaming was through firstly Baldur's Gate, then through the 3rd Edition FRCS. I'd hate to see the Realms forgotten to bring back another fairly generic setting of which I have little interest in, or fond memories of. Anyway, it's not...

Exactly. The level of detail is, for me, a lifesaver. I can consult huge amounts of material for inspiration as to what sort of game I want to run. If I need an NPC, there's thousands. If I need a city, there's hundreds. If I need a plot hook, there's dozens. But somehow this doesn't stop me...

So, Empress of Blood sidequest till August, anyone?

Anything she blooming well wants! Gold, while a boring option, is always useful for day to day needs. Political influence with her various noble clients. One adventuring service rendered if an adventuring party crosses her path. Anything really. I doubt there would be a set price for her...

One book campaign settings that are quite different from what's available in Golarion. Maybe even do a campaign setting contest to see what good ideas people have out there.

So, if you killed the god of murder, that would eliminate murder from the game world? If you killed the god of death, that would eliminate death from the game world? Heck, if you kill the god of evil, that would eliminate all evil from the game world? This does rather amuse me, as such an idea...

Well, that's pretty much the end of me giving money to WoTC. I'll be picking up these last few books for a truly awesome system, and that'll be that. Shame really. Saga rocked.

Large Countries/Organisations to run. That usually works well. The high level NPC's solution would be to level the city. It works, it's quick.. and it's probably not what the PC's would want. High level NPC's like the Symbul would like this solution. Bringing in high level NPC's would bring...

So, now that WoTC have ended the piracy of their products with these settlements, we are going to see the PDF's restored, so I can download the ones I paid for again, as well as buy new ones? Or did this whole exercise just disadvantage customers and WoTC for no gain on either side?

I didn't mean to be snarky in my original post. My point was more along the lines that it's from a video game, which is no bad thing at all. I've done it plenty of times in my own games, be it interesting quest ideas, dialogue, puzzles or ideas for NPC's. I said I liked the set up, and wished I...

Looks cool, but it's ripped from, at the very least, Resident Evil 5, which had a puzzle just like that. Nice set up though. I'd like to have the money and time to make something approaching that. :D

It'd get me buying the PDF's again, rather then acquiring them by other means. Other products I'd judge on their merits. So I suppose it depends if you'd say a purchase of WoTC PDF's 'brings you back'

Except it did. Not only will the term WFRP be associated with the 3rd Edition of it, but players of 2E are denied continuing support for the game, which impacts directly on the number of players they can find. Now, if companies want to innovate, they can. Just with new games. If the third...

I'm surprised no one mentioned that this ruleset sounds like it'd be perfect for running games in the Culture for. So looking forward to this book getting released to stores generally.
