For me, WotC developing a new system from the ground up is enough added to explain the price difference. Paizo had an incredible head start with 3.5, and didn't have to recoup the costs of creating Pathfinder from scratch. This should influence the cost of selling the system, as well as the...

I'd buy it for 50 dollars If that's the price, and the product is not 20 pages long or printed on toilet paper, I'd buy it to check out where D&D is going. /M

FWIW: I'll buy it Well, I'm not concerned about the price from a personal perspective. It's not cheap, and I don't need it really (I've got enough rpgs already), but I think it's fun to keep up with the development of D&D over the years. If it's cheaper I won't protest but it'd have to creep...

That's sad. When I grew up I played a lot of BECM D&D in the Mystara setting. So the name Aaron Allston was more familiar to me than Gary Gygax. /Maggan

I'll probably hate it for a week, then I'll forget how it was before that, and then I'll use it like it's been like that forever. Same as with all the other changes here over time. :D /M

Yeah, I do and I've done most of that (although I'm not familiar with the word "AIR" in this circumstance?). I was hoping for some official, "we sold 100 000 Pathfinder rulebooks every year for the last five years" and/or "our sales of D&D books have halved since the release of D&D4, from 100...

I'm very interested in how the market works, and would like to read more about these publicly available sales numbers. I seem to have missed them, unfortunately. ICv2 has a ranking, and I guess Amazon has a ranking of sorts, and we have the DDi numbers and whatnot, and Paizo is a sucess as far...

That could be the case. But there are instances in other countries where the hobby exploded from a set or rules other than D&D, where the rules didn't feature Gygax's style of writing. I'm thinking of Sweden, where "Drakar och Demoner" (a BRP translation originally) dominated in the same way...

Funny, WotC never told me that. But then again, they don't speak personally to me that much anymore, after that incident at that christmas party all those years ago. /M

Magic Item wish lists. That and treasure parcels, and the effect this had on my player group, was devestating. Some wanted to make lists and have clearly defined treasure so that they didn't stay behind the curve, and other wanted the mystery of not knowing what came ahead, treasure wise. We...

Nope. But I watched it after reading the above. :D A fun cartoon, will be awesome after you get the pacing going. Cheers! /M

Have the OotS clued in to the fact that the Linear Guild have teamed up with Elan's dad and his cleric friend? If not, then maybe that would explain the "mystery cleric" line. /M

Interesting. KenzerCo wrote in the foreword to the first Hackmaster rules that it was a parody game, and they also acknowledge that in the foreword to this Hackmaster Basic download. And the history is very much as a parody game in the comics. So the flipside to your observation for me is that...

Nice. Thank you for all the work you do with this. Cheers! /M

It's funny how things are different for people, aint it? Some things are similar, and some are not. For the gamers I have regular contact with outside the Internet (an odd 30 or so), the list looks like this: - Fans love OGL. WotC tries to kill OGL. - Fans love to buy print books. A few like...

Sure, I like to see a health game being published, and D&D is an important game to me. I don't know if I will play it continually, but I will try it to see how I like it. /Maggan

WotC is sundering D&D from it's portfolio? /M

I bought my wife an iPad to use when commuting to and from work. Now, she wants me to buy one for myself ... so she can have her iPad for herself. :D /M

Bob Bledsaw? Died 2008. /M

And Chaosium is not a very profitable company, to boot. A shame, CoC is my favourite game. Apart from WFRP that is. /M
