Hi everyone. It's been awhile. :) Normally I wouldn't talk about new releases here in the main forum. But I'm going to. Why? Because many of you were right and I was wrong. Yep. I said it. I was wrong. What are you talking about you crazy demon lord, you might say. Back when 3.5...

That's right. Three, count 'em, three! Long awaited 3.5 adventures from Necromancer Games are now available. You might have seen it on the main news page: D&D 3.5/OGL/Pathfinder News Three brand new Necromancer Games modules available in PDF! The Eamonvale Incursion, Demonheart, and...

I'm sure there are some that feel that way. There were some who felt that way when Ryan was championing the OGL too. But Wizards isnt one voice with one intent. So you cant really cast Scott as a lone voice against one monolithic other view. The GSL is proof of this problem--the GSL was a horse...

Jeez, Dave, dont rub it in :) Clark

Truer words were never spoken (or typed and posted on the inter-web thingy). :) Though, in fairness, the problem isnt necessarily 4E gamers and product buyers. The issue is distributors.

I agree with that. Sales in the waning days of 3.5 were not good at all.

Good question. Right now Pathfinder is an unknown quantity, but Paizo isnt. They get a lot of love and people are enthusiastic about it. I think the distributor support is there more for that than for 3P 4E stuff. Its hard to say. It may be that the same exact problems will exist there too...

I dont think so. We havent before. Frankly, I'm a D&D fan. It was initially hard for me to even consider supporting Pathfinder. But I have so much respect for Paizo and Erik Mona and James Jacobs and company and I know that their game really contains the heart of 3E D&D I came around. But my...

I dont think so, and that's not a swipe at Hackmaster at all which is cool.

Thats a good question. The main reason is because I am not Wizards. I dont have the choice to do that. I dont believe I can legally support 1E or 2E (I dont want to start taht discussion again, but people know I believe OSRIC is problematic). So that gives me the only choice of supporting 3E...

I dont know about a year before, but definately the year after :)

Not sure that is the biggest obstacle, but it is the one most focused on new 3P classes or powers. I told Scott I thought the Character Builder was great. In a perfect world (which we dont live in) I'd love to see an open plug in for people to create homebrew content (or 3P content) that they...

I'd say that I agree with most of that. I'm happy for Joe that he's doing good with his DCCs. I think they are cool. That just wasnt what I was interested in doing. I'm glad the OGL system neutral move helped him transition. But as you say, the need for me to do Necro is much different. It...

Also appreciated. :) And you're both right.

You and me both. :) My quote about eating crow, though (as I recall) had to do with those who said there would never be a revised GSL. I got that part right :) Unfortunately, it was too late.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. And for those laughing at the irony, I'm right there with you. I agree. It is ironic. Of course, it just so happens that I also wish it wasnt me that happened to be the brunt of that irony :) but it sure is. Dont fret about the hard words, though. I'm a big...

As you probably know, Wizards has a terrible record of actually using the OGL. Their main attempt at the end of the MM2 to include a few monsters from the Creature Collection was hillarious. They totally botched complying with their own license. It was the source of some humor at the time. If...

Gonna have to respectfully disagree with you on that one. Whether or not PI is OGC is not little license minutia. Which, of course, is why "many of the top businessmen" were debating it. Because it matters.

Just trying to help :)

Please have at least a tiny inkling of a clue before you post here. I'm glad though that you felt comfortable doing all those things not knowing at all what you are talking about and being so out of the loop that you didnt even know there was a revised GSL. Did you stay at a Holiday Inn last...
