Goodman Games solicits input

Hence the sarcasm.

Yes, but the unfortunate truth is that plain text statements typically lack the cues that allow one to clearly tell the difference between sarcasm, straight talk, and someone trying to get you to do something you oughtn't.

Neither here nor there, as far as the topic at hand is concerned, though.

and someone trying to get you to do something you oughtn't.

I'm outraged you would even consider this to be my intent.

(And I think emoticons detract from any post.)

This is the part where I humbly request we bring back the *rolls eyes* smiley.

Back to the OP's topic, please.

I would give Goodman DCC's a shot if they were written for 3.x or pathfinder. My group had played through a couple when they were being made for 3.x and found them to be enjoyable. we never tried any of the 4e ones as we were finished with the system based on its own merits and flaws before we really got a chance to start exploring 3pp material.

I would suggest to Goodman to try and release a new single module for 3.x Pathfinder (or whatever system you are thinking of trying) and see how well it sells. If it meets the needs of your company financially then do more of them, if not then stick with whats working now.

But thats just my own opinion, and it is the opinion of a gamer, as opposed to some of the other opinions posted by other members of the industry in this thread.

Will you be translating this one, too?

Well I guess Mr. Goodman said it best.

You don't find it interesting?

Did the Obsidian Portal figures match your expectations?

It's interesting, but unreliable, and I have no expectations of Obsidian Portal, so that's not really relevant.

It's established that the vast majority of gamers don't take their gaming online, so Obsidian Portal only represents a particular demographic, and we don't know what other features correlate with that which would skew the representation of games on the site.

For all we know, playing 4E may have a strong positive correlation with online activity (or knowing OP even exists), in which case Obsidian Portal is actively selective of 4E over other systems. And how many of those campaigns are inactive or duplicates?

Frankly, I'd be surprised if 4E isn't the single most popular game system at the moment, but even at Obsidian Portal, others D&Ds make up over 40% of the D&D campaigns, which means the true numbers could well be much, much closer.

Obsidian Portal was also active before 4e came out, which is another wrinkle.

That said, it is very interesting to see that list.

Wait, what's Obsidian Portal? Do you mean Obsidian Twilight?

Crazy rants aside (because "why should non-publisher gamers be the only ones allowed to let loose every once in awhile with the nerd rage?" is my philosophy) Obsidian Twilight has been looking kind of cool...

Edit: Nevermind - figured it out.
