I can tell you that while I've personally enjoyed them, as a retailer I find it somewhat difficult to sell games that use "funky dice". I think one of the mistakes is the NUMBER of dice used. The less dice your system uses, the funkier they can be, because the expense of getting enough for the...

Yes, that's my point. But there's only so much of rejected content that can be polished up to "prime time", so I'm inclined to think that if they came up with THREE that they felt would work, then it's going to be three. Had it been four or more, then they would have announced four or more...

Yeah, but they keep this very basic marketing strategy for themselves and leave it up to the rest of us to eat into our margins or lump it.

Why do you think that there will be a ton of "DLCs"? I think that if they announce 3, then you can expect 3. I also think that there being DLCs is just someone's idea of how to monetize material that was developed for the books, but didn't fit. Apparently, it's common that they develop a ton...

I wish that they would understand that when they do a slipcase boxed set of 3+ books, that the MSRP should be 10-20% less than the sum of its contents. The last few boxed sets, IIRC added up to exactly the sum of their contents. You get the slipcase for "free", I suppose, and I know that it...

I call it EDC or Expanded Digital Content.

Why would that be? Avatar came out in 2005.

Haven't seen any of those. Where are they 'hiding'?

Stratus held the coffin-lid down with all his weight for a moment or two before concluding that there was either no undead inside, or it was too weak to lift the lid. He let go when Max reported skeletons ahead. He spoke in hushed tones, declaring, Let us take care of them before we open any...

Seems logical to me to check out the unsecure (open) direction before opening any doors, which is why I figured north - then yeah, backtrack to doors.

"I will try to block anything that might come from that sarcophagus," offered Stratus, "While you continue forward." He then slipped around the corner and placed his shield arm down on the lid, trying to brace himself against anything that might try to break out.

I had grand plans to post some updates tonight, but I somehow left my laptop at work Sigh.

It's reasonable for it to seem strange when you're not aware that it was part of an anthology that explored micro-settings. All you need to know is that it is consistent with the vibe of its setting, and it doesn't really have a wider implication than that, other than that settings like that...

Here's the basic description of the setting: Zinda is a city of spiraling marble towers and turrets, of universities and guildhalls, and of specialty shops lining paved streets. Far below the balconies, the Court of Flowers and the pier ring with the merry laughter and the songs of laborers...

I remember putting it up on our shelves in our old location. I remember having a stack of preorders. I probably ran Sunlit Citadel to teach people to play it (once that adventure came out - looks like that was September).
