    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    I will just add in another voice of a subscriber (Dragon) and say that I'm not at all happy about this. Pazio has don't a great, great job with both magazines and I hate to see them have them taken away by WoC. I will not touch the web-content myself, either. If it were content that was put...

    Considering engineering a TPK

    As has been said, just talk to them and find out exactly what they want out of the game. That'll help everyone in the long run, as too many TPKs can really sink a group and make players care less about the campaign as they never last. Just my .02.

    What do we actually know about WotC's market research?

    They cast a summon geeks spell by opening up a can of soda while talking about Star Wars. Then they bind them by offering said geeks a soda and some chips. If that fails they bring out the pizza. OK I'm not awake yet, but it would work!

    Info from the WotC 2007 January to April Catalog

    Some interesting things on the horizon, thanks for the list. The Star Wars release sounds especially good to me, as I missed out on the d20 thing that came around the first time.

    Convincing DM to use new books

    I have two younger brothers, and I wholeheartedly second this recommendation! *grumbles about putting punks in their place*

    Mongoose, the RPG Industry and 2005. . .

    Interesting post Matt, being one of those early purchasers of Conan I was a bit miffed at the problems you mentioned, but once the reaction of the moment passed I have to admit I'm very pleased with the products that Mongoose releases. Very interesting read, thank you for sharing your thoughts...

    Goblin as a PC questions

    Thanks everyone for the replies, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to give me all the info you have. I was hoping there was some 'official' source, aka a WoC source, where there was more info for goblin characters. I don't think I'd pick up that .pdf, as I'm cutting back on my...

    Goblin as a PC questions

    I was considering approaching my DM about possibiliy switching to a Goblin character in the Eberron campaign we're playing in. I noticed the large Goblin population in Sharn after we started playing and thought that overall I think it would be a interesting character to play. Of course it...

    Detroit Gameday II: Dec 4th AFTERMATH!!!

    I'm one of those players that really isn't sure if I'll be in state that weekend or not. It just depends if I am going to go to visit the family in NJ before Thanksgiving or during it. I really won't know for a few weeks still I think. :(

    Simple Prestige class question ...

    Ah ok I thought so, and was going crazy because I couldn't find the answer in 3.5. Thanks a ton for the replies, I appreciate your time.

    Simple Prestige class question ...

    Ok I've never played a Prestige class, and with my allergy clouded head I can't recall the answer to this so ... Does a Prestige class count when considering EXP penalties? For example I have a Elven Rogue/Wizard that is probably headed towards the Arcane Archer template. I was thinking of...

    fed up with mini randomness...back to counters? (teeny-tiny rant)

    I'm starting to get tired of the randomness factor myself. I'm even debating skipping the next set and stopping the collecting aspect of it all together. I have enough from the first four sets to last me for a while. I skipped the Star Wars one totally once they introduced the higher level of...

    Simplifying my life...can any of you relate?

    I'm going through the same process myself, actually both my wife and I are going through this. I've already purged my PC and all the computer games that go along with it, I'm using my Mac only now for writing and the internet. I'm realizing that my comic reading has turned into comic...

    Detroit Gameday II: Dec 4th AFTERMATH!!!

    I haven't been to the Rider's in Madison Heights, I'll have to check it out when I'm up in that area. The Rider's near me really has nothing in the RPG area, the one in Taylor. Very small section. RIW on 5 mile is a nice little store as well, and seems to be run by a nice staff. You're...

    Detroit Gameday II: Dec 4th AFTERMATH!!!

    I'm just curious which do you think is the best RPG store in the area? I love Pandi, but they cater to CCG and Miniature (I do dabble in both of these as well so it works for me) players more than RPGers at the moment. Brandon mentioned he is expanding the store into the wargame room so he can...
