I stopped playing 3/.5e because of bogged down games. Everything I've seen about 4e, and having read the Player's Handbook, 4e looks like a lot more fun for the combat aspect (the other 95% of my campaigns looks to be no better or worse). Unfortunately, the Player's Handbook is incomplete - my...

This sums up my opinion better than I did. I got distracted from it by gleemax.

That's my understanding, also. I wouldn't have even mentioned it if I wasn't so annoyed with everything else they've said about the online component - my irritation spilled over into unlikely scenarios that would also be irritating. Sorry.

The online component can go hang itself. And I say this as someone who prefers PDFs (hell, I produce and sell PDFs for a living) over print for most purposes. Chief among the problems it has are DRM and being way, way, way overpriced. However, as long as 4e does not require the online...

I don't play MMOs, and D&D Insider does not appeal to me for its MMO aspects. And the social aspects, as other people have pointed out, are better on EN World. So I'm looking at it purely from an actual produced content standpoint, and it doesn't look likely to stack up . . . Two months of D&D...

I'm one of the people who didn't get an email saying that my CS account had ended. My account ended a bit over a month ago, and I don't do searches enough to notice on that short a time frame. I also noticed that the pricing scheme for accounts is, er, backwards: $19.99 for one year $87.50 for...

A little late to the discussion, I know. I use InDesign CS on my home computer, I use QuarkXPress (InDesign's main competitor) on my work computer . . . but for the few PDFs I've done (free-only, and mostly for my own amusement), I've used OpenOffice to get reasonably solid results. InDesign...

And I may be. And I apologize for saying something dumb. I do realize that what I said is no longer possible - that the ENnies I once used to help me sift through the horde of d20 products (and spot things I'd missed earlier in the year) no longer exist. Today, it's a very interesting...

Speaking as someone with a deep love for and vested interest in non-d20 systems . . . Leave the ENnies as a d20-biased award system. Seriously. The wider the range of products that are allowed in, the less and less relevant the awards as a whole will become to any given individual. Currently...

Best of luck, Joe.

Best of luck, Phil. You make good products, and I'd like to see that continue. With that said, is it okay if I cry that only the e23 link isn't active? ^_^

PDF available now. (And we still have Dubious Shards, too.)

Since this question has been asked by more than one publisher, I figured I would answer it here as well: e23 does not change the price (and thus the actual money per sale you make on a product) without you asking us to.

SJ Games owns e23. In fact, e23 was originally set up to sell SJ Games products! But we had a store front, all shiny and new, and so we went ahead and starting selling other publishers through it as well, and over the past two years, we've grown that side of the business a fair amount. The...

I fixed some math in my post above, sorry.
