I think the ideal would be something in the middle -to find the golden line among the two. The dice can be useful to drive the suspense of risky situations. And luck is something real and I guess rpgs need some dose of it. Then, Fate has some awesome method that D&D seems to lack. To me, this...

Sorry but I do not understand, you have to be more clear. Are we talking about court cases where certain laws or rules apply and need to be respected for the court case to be resolved as a court case? I hope not. But perhaps what you have in mind is about the cases where PCs meet with people...

In a combat you either lose or win. If you win you gain "combat XP" because this means that you learned what it works. It is that simple. In the social situation things are not that simple. Most of the time resolution is not about winning or losing. And one could even say that you are...

It put limits to the D20 system to try make it more focused and manageable and built around this foundation a new and solid game. But as the OP puts it fails on suspension of disbelief. I blame for this their need to cater to the D20 system while making this new and solid game. I believe, if...

I just googled "greenronin dragon age" and it seems Greenronin is getting the exposure a 9th level wish spell could grant. Interesting random comment of some poster in some site: "I've wanted to try getting into some pen and paper RPG'ing for a while now and this seems like a good...

Mike's comment is based on the fact that while Bioware made its reputation by the tabletop medium, now it's a turn where their respective roles have been inverted. Right now I see the possibility of two things. - If the "Dragon Age" line is a good video game and Greenronin makes the most out...

Assuming this is not just referring to this fan guessing game but to the actual game, it seems the game is about fantasy (or perhaps horror) than anything else. It could be about some super-hero adventure story but not a whole line. Asides from LotR is there anything else?

It has to do with the level your market is saturate and your competition. If you compete with other rules you may want to offer more comprehensive rules -you can do this to the point of glut. If you do not compete with either rules or adventures but you need to expand you build aids such as the...

You should be talking about the Death Dealer adventure module. Yeah, did not know about that but it does not seem something that deep or big to me, in the sense of something that seems to come with a long standing and somewhat guaranteed selling point as a line to rpg fans, making worthwhile an...

Go where? What company has been developing products of a valuable IP line for GSL? Perhaps even more so a licensed one. I am saying such a thing makes no good business sense -which goes beyond what one may happen to feel. Not just for Greenronin but every company out there. This is my...

I do not think it is just about personal feelings but rather business sense. Would you rather have a super hot name and try to develop its own line and build on this or rather cater to a some part of the GSL market with your line? You could do both but the price of losing freedom of design...

I doubt this (making a GSL product) is something that impressive -on par with the fireworks they are throwing. Even if it were GSL-4e the whole deal should be about the name of the line. And the power of the name of the line is independent of the system used.

Dunno really. With the quality of cinematographic and visual effects topping a high and constant standard impressing people with a hit for more than a season becomes harder and harder. IP development based on plot development seems to be more important. In other words archetypes do not seem to...

Well, what is fantasy about today? Does it have a new trope-ideology or something? Or are we talking about commercial fan tropes? These are like a pop music hits-they change all the time. Follow the hit and but in three years it will be considered demode to another, newer hit. I would say D&D...

I am not sure I understand the question of the OP. Is this about what a modern vanilla fantasy rpg should relate to or what modern fantasy sources the 4e PHB invokes on a person?

While this sounds reasonable I was thinking more about fantasy -and blacklibrary does not produce anything about this, just the parent company.

Well, they had got a license for the Warhammer rpg right? Perhaps they have managed to get a license for the other game line this company develops- hint: although this company is not the original creator and copyright owner of the IP it is based upon. But, yeah, this may be far too ambitious.

Any guesses what will this be? I have a suspicion but it is a bit far fetched.

You could also try to work around a DOOM like scenario but not necessarily with demons and stuff. It could be more realistic. For example some moon facility that goes terribly wrong, disrupts moon's orbit or even destroys moon and due to this earth feels the pain.

In fact how can you establish that he is wrong? If you could language should be what gives answers to questions: but language does not do this, people do. It is not that I am here today to be able to read the bible because it was written in the bible.
