Quite obviously not what I said. My point was that WoTC makes WoTC products and Paizo makes Paizo products. I said nothing about giving "credit" to anyone. My argument is that if Complete Scoundrel had been published by Paizo (or Green Ronin or anyone else) it would have been a different book...

You're assuming that the "author" has complete control over what gets put into the books. At WoTC there are editors, brand managers, etc. who help to mold the content and may have as much influence on the final product as the person whose name ends up on the cover. El Skootro

Yes, but the version that the playtesters would be commenting on are probably not the current version. For example, if a playtest group were given a copy of the rules that had dwarves as 8ft tall and firebreathing, and the design team had already changed that, what good would it do to tell the...

My group hasn't been affected. Here's the breakdown by players: Player 1 has been playing DnD casually for about three years. She's only starting to explore the more esoteric options 3.5 has to offer (she's currently playing a dragon shaman), and hasn't experienced and edition shift so has a...

Hear, hear! As much as druids are a cool, iconic component of the game, in 3.x they are waaaaaaaay too much of a headache. Let's reboot and make them something that lives up to the potential without making my insides tighten up when a player says she wants to play one. El Skootro

The NYTimes and DnD are dramatically different. NYTimes readers are a great demographic: they're educated, generally wealthy, and generally urban. There are many, many advertisers who will pay to get the eyeballs of NYTimes readers. Who will pay to get the eyeballs of DnD players? WotC's...

Ain't that the truth? Digital Iniative from people who can't even get a search function working? Honestly fellas, I want to buy what you are selling, but please meet me halfway, alright?

The Dragon Compendium has a PrC called the Fleet Runner of Ehlonna. My wife once used it for a character she had. It can be pretty cool for stealthy-ish clerics. El Skootro

Well. That does trump my guy who refused to play unless he could watch television the whole time. El Skootro

I'm a big fan of Paizo. Aside from the support that comes from actual writers and designers posting, it's a small enough community that people really stand out. I also pay attention to enworld, although I rarely post. El Skootro **Still mad at Steve Greer for killing Id**

How about a frequent flyer? PST, GMT, what time zone am I in again? El Skootro

E. I only play ninjas. El Skootro

Sign me up for the overpowered extravaganza. I've never played a 20th level character, and I've never played a gestalt character. Should be fun. El Skootro

I'm ready When can we sign up? El Skootro

Money and products that don't interest me keep me from buying more than anything. Also, I don't want 4e to become a self-fulfilling prophesy -- nobody buys anything because of 4e rumors, WOTC doesn't make enough money b/c nobody's buying anything, WOTC releases 4e in order to make more money...
