Yes. When the damage is still affecting today's market, it is still a current issue. We were asked for opinions, I offered. They wanted explanations, I gave them. Heaven forbid somebody sees opinion that is not all flag-waving pro-WotC. Fine, fine, I'll just shut the fudge up about it. No...

Wow, okay. Nice way to have a civilized talk there. WotC lied. Shocking, I know. Conversion from 2e to 3e was huge ass-pain, 3.5e to 4e doable but uncomfortable. 4e to 5e is easy breezy, but a day late and a dollar short. Yes, more fans that ever are playing 5e because 5e actually works, its a...

A) WotC has a habit of "updating" their products in a way that makes previous products obsolete. This may be great for their wallets in the short-term, but it irritates the fan-base and drives many away from RPG's as a whole, damaging the wider industry. B) They are already weaning off all...

Put Heroscape back into production, or at least license it to another company that will. Sell off the licenses for all the products that WotC bought up with TSR, and put some of them into the public domain so the fans can carry on. Get out of the RPG business and focus on the MtG cash-cow.

1) Why none in farm lands? I can see why not in urban areas, but none in rural? 2) Do you include for the possibility for "dead lines" or inactive lines in "hibernation"?

Well, so far we all seem to be agreed that we all have very different ideas about what makes a good GM. At least we're in the same book, if not on the same page. I'm interested to know how. Please explain.

As I'm still learning the Fate system, there's no specifics that are causing trouble yet. But the first step will be PC&NPC conversion. Here's a example that appear in both systems. As you can see, going from True20 to Fate will be fairly straight-forward with a minimum of rationalizing and...

Okay, dude, let it go. That post was not about you, so stop trying to take it personal. I don't even know who the hell you are and wouldn't waste my time calling you anything, implied or otherwise. Don't want to play because you don't get on with some other players? Totally legit. Don't want to...

Many many moons ago, in WEG's Star Wars, there was a rule variant for target zones. A Star Destroyer was so frikking massive a fighter squadron had no chance at all against it. But by breaking it into a series of smaller zones that could be attacked individually (I think there were 8 or 9...

:ROFLMAO:I did the same blooming thing! I thought "Eureka! This is awesome!" And then, "Oh... wait..."

Okay, tablet and data transfers make more sense. But I've (briefly) been in groups that used their phones for active play like a screwed-up LAN party. Never again.

Wow, okay, didn't expect to have that much space leftover. We're thinking 2d20, 1d12, 1d10, 1d00, 4d6, 1d8, 2d4, all of them 16mm size. So they're gonna compact quite a lot. But I think the next size down, 2½" x 1½"x 1½", is gonna be too small since that one is the "Standard" dice block and 7...

Not yet familiar with WOIN mechanics. Would you need to specify it's a caplock, or either of the two calibers?

Armor proficiency is quite realistic, but the way its handled is excessive. Wearing armor IS NOT like wearing clothes, but it's not something that takes ages of study, either. And using one kind of shield (say an Irish targe) can be completely unlike using another kind (say a Roman scutum). I...

Know what? Never mind. Since you find it offensive, I will remove that part of the post. Sorry for disturbing you.
