It's no wonder WotC doesn't take message boards seriously. When posts continue to show an appalling lack of business knowledge, these boards make themselves irrelevant. Calling for a boycott ends ANY influence you may have on their product. It doesn't matter what you do when you aren't a...

The History Channel is showing the first of a two part special this evening on barbarians. What it and let me know if your barbarian matches up.

I would say the rock cannot move through the antimagic field. The magic moving it would be suppressed. The magic can move the rock OVER the field though. The AMF would not be able to suppress the Telekinesis. The person moving the rock could then end the Telekinesis. Even though the spell that...

My group is having a debate about the anti-magic field. A 12th level PC cast the anti-magic field. An 18th level cleric then cast Storm of Vengeance. In the 2nd round, acid rain starts falling. I ruled that the acid becomes real and is not stopped by the field. I reasoned that the field could...

So this is the obligatory bash-WotC-before-they-release-the-product thread. According to this thread, the product is already bad. This is why producers should largely ignore the Internet. Continuing these kinds of meaningless comments only weakens this community's credibility.

I think you play a samurai almost exactly the same way you would play a stand up bass.

This thread is funny compared to posts going around on the Internet during the WotC acquisition of TSR. At the time too many were complaining the would never play D&D again if WotC released a M:tG campaign world. Somehow they perceived it to be a sign of unrestrained greed. I didn't really...

For those interested in the business end of gaming, WotC's parent company Hasbro declared earnings today. Good news for the company. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=580&ncid=580&e=8&u=/nm/20031020/bs_nm/manufacturing_hasbro_earns_dc NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hasbro Inc. (NYSE:HAS -...

Now that is funny. The evil d20 license that rejuvinated an industry and allowed the creation of how many publishers? True, publisher's can sell their material based only on the good will of WotC. That isn't Nazi-ism. The d20 license is not community property. A company that does what it can...

Life is good...and changing I'm happy with my life. I'm not satisfied with my situation. I have a wonderful wife (for over 5 1/2 years now) . I have a job that pays most of the bills and some health insurance. There are 10 employees who report to me, most of who seem to think I'm the best...

Mel Gibson has released a trailer for "The Passion". A number of people who have previewed the movie say it is very moving and powerful. The trailer certainly seems to verify that claim. Beware, it's graphic. At the same time, the movie promises to be artistically well done. Thoughts...

That is disappointing to hear. I acutally admire AV for his ability to combine business with his love of RPG's. I hope that Valar is able to put out better products in the future. Let's hope their entire product line does not confine themselves to niche markets (in an already niche market).

Re: Re: [ENnies] WotC on the outs The message boards are what I most dislike about his site. That is because the message boards are not actually part of MonteCook.com. They are on EZBoards.com. I hate them with a passion. Thanks to them I get huge amounts of spam everyday. At the time I...

So what is the deal with WotC's poor showing in the ENnies? Only three nominations and one "silver" win in a minor category. Is WotC that bad or isit just in vogue to discount them? It seems there is a growing anti-WotC bias in this community. The ENnies seem to indicate that perception is...

Good health is something we take for granted until it is taken from us, isn't it? I long for the days I took mine for granted. Best wishes. Jason

I don't have the new PHB yet. I was wondering if they fixed the organization. In 3.0 the chapters were not in the order of the process for creating a character. For example, the chapter on skills came before the chapter on feats. Did WotC fix that?

Good point. I would say the published 3e and 3.5e for the same reason that car manufacturers modify their designs every year. People don't need new cars, but when they see something they perceive as improved, they are more likely to go buy a new one. The car industry would go under if...

I think I agree with your assesment of Monte's "review". It was some bad judgement to publish it. Monte himself admitted his dependence on D&D. His own company essentially depends on WotC's success in his current business plan. Until and unless Monte publishes his own successful stand alone...

Why did WotC publish a D&D 3.5? To make as much money as they can. That's a good thing for them....and for ENWorld. The main purpose of a business is to stay in business. To do that, they need to make a profit. The D&D brand makes a profit by selling as many books as possible. Notice I say...

I'm not really worried about it. The thing I like about this place is its general civility thanks to the mods. I just want people to know that I'm willing to talk with anyone. I find it strange that people seem to invest so much time in hating someone they don't even know. Really, why even...
