I will say that that's one thing that a lot of publishers do not do well. I'll ask "why should I play X?" , the response is kinda like "do you know that food that you love? well we ALSO serve that food but with slightly different seasoning.

Yeah that 600 page book....

Again, my neck of the woods doesn't necessarily equal the sales at broad. There was surprisingly PF2 books on the shelf at my LGS right after release. Talking to some gamers in this area seemed to garner a "why?" about PF2 (a reaction not unlike D&D 4e). Then again there is a strong D&D 5e...

My group and I may be making a return to D&D 5e, and I feel like the default setting is a little boring (forgotten realms) as we have played this setting quite a bit. I've not been paying a ton of attention to products and setting for D&D for sometime, but want to know what are some 5e...

Really sadden by the passing of WOC. I really loved a lot of his 4e art. Especially his work on female dwarves

I really enjoy it actually

I get that this isn't a big issue with you, and I do hear what you're saying. I think the idea is that watching people play increases the likelihood that they'll play themselves, which according to the article seems to be what's happening. I know personally speaking watching streams of a variety...

Actually, there are psychological studies out there that make inferences about the population with smaller samples sizes. I think that the mistake that the OP is making is maybe thinking that forum posters have different gaming tastes from non forum posters. While it may be true...there is no...

That and AoW was terrible...from a design standpoint anyways

I'm under the impression that the APs are always in print it does seem weird to update this I didn't think that PF and 3.5 were THAT different .

D&D sold out this past Christmas at my LGS (they had lots of stock). I've NEVER seen D&D sell out a year after release. This is not a store that promotes RPGs at all either, people are playing and buying books. WotC strategy is quite smart, you support the reasons people get together and play...

Ah. I imagined that it would have been talked about at leangth by now. Thanks!

Apologies if this has been posted and/or discussed at length. I poked around looking for it here and did not see it. ICv2 interviewed the CEO of WotC here http://icv2.com/articles/news/view/33104/icv2-interview-wizards-coast-ceo-greg-leeds-part-1 . What was interesting was some comments he made...

In fairness the word "hype" was used with Pathfinder when it first came out too. Paizo had a good game and products to support that game and the sales trend continued. In that same vein 5e is great game and WotC has been supporting it with great products. I suspect we won't see a big decrease in...

Pathfinder has only seen a slight decline compared to the massive jump in 5e. I'm guessing that because the other games are remaining stable-ish means that people playing 5e AND other games (PF, SW, etc). I'm thinking that people are a lot less "dogmatic" about their games than we think they are.

3 out of 5 rating for Age of Worms Adventure Path This AP is a meat grinder no doubt about it, the only time that my group ever had a party wipe (several...several PC deaths). The story starts out good, but never really gets great, in fact it's always surprised me that this AP was so popular at...

The D&D ampersand is EXACTLY the tattoo I'd get were I to get one. Mine would be smaller and on the shoulder.

"Omph" of course meaning degree of brand recognition

What this boils down to is the power of branding. While Paizo and Pathfinder are household names in the rpg world, they are relatively unknowns in the gaming world as a whole. I imagine that most investors might have been like "Path-who?", thus people who were uncertain of the project. If...

Agreed!!
