One of my former gamestores up north does the 1/2 food 1/4 gamestore 1/4 table thing that was mentioned above. (Or used to, I don't know if they're still around.) Something to note about that.. If you do that, depending on what you serve and how you serve it, you run a chance of having to be...

The Free Shipping is using USPS Book Rate. That's right above pack-mule. I'd wager if you don't see them tomorrow, you won't see them on the third or fourth, and so they'll show up on the fifth. You might see them on the fourth, but I've found the days before federal holidays, the USPS...

Having grown up in Arkansas, I know a great deal about Wal-mart. Walmart is successful because Sam Walton decided long ago that if you sell more stuff, you can lower your mark-up and present lower prices. He also said that if you sell stuff at higher markups, someone will come in and sell...

I've seen the argument made before that if we don't support LGS's, they'll die. But, on the flip side, I think the LGSs have been a bit lax in how they handle things. I have two LGS's here. One is VERY clean, contains current stuff, with a dress code on the employees. They have no gaming...

I hated playing a Rouge for what you describe. It was like, nope, no real use for you. The wizard can actually turn COMPLETELY invisible. The best you can do is hide. *sighs* It's like your job getting sent overseas. And then being asked to protect the guy who took it.

Don't you know? The job of the DM is to punish the players for every time they were called a nerd in school. Why would you want your DM to be.. friendly? That's.. that's crazy.

Let me ask you a question. If he came up with a way to research it, and found a wizard who knew of such a thing, and went on a long quest to a dank dungeon to find the components and the base shield.. would you have let him have his shield? Because I don't think 4e is saying "Take wishlist...

Well, there are some secrets in the Keep. It generally is a "stop bad guy or everyone is in biiig trouble" type thing. Once the BBEG is taken care of , then the dungeon empties out. I suppose it can be restocked, but it generally feels like it's been custom made for just this one purpose...

I suppose the maps and the creatures could be useful. Everything else doesn't really seem like it'd be helpful for repeat visits.

Why do people think everyone can cast rituals? The section on Rituals says outright that you MUST have the ritual caster feat to cast it.. and if you don't, you must have the scroll/etc. It also says some rituals are not available in some worlds. And more rituals will be published which you...

My problem isn't with trading beans for the cow. My problem is walking into a walmart like store and saying to the clerk: "Oh, yes. I'll have one +3 armor.. a +3 flaming sword, can I get that flaming sword in a +4 variety, actually? Oh, an order of ritual scrolls, let's see.. enchant magic...

You know, when I was a young lad, I would dutifully make my list out every christmas to Santa for the things I wished for. I'd send this off in the mail (or so my parents said), and then on Christmas day, I'd open the presents. Sometimes I would get what I want. Sometimes I got more of what I...

And now people are starting to finally realize that all you really get when you license is the right to put that logo on your stuff. You don't really need it if you stay clear of the copyright / trademark items.

I love how it seems to be every time I see this argument, the main complaint is that players now "know" about magical items. As if, before hand ,they had no idea that the term "magical item" existed, or that they didn't know that the DMG actually had a list of these things. Like most players...

Accusations like that are not unnecessary. As a free software developer and a linux professional, I've seen similar type things occur when KDE released, when Debian introduced KDE, and the list goes on and on and on. I've personally run a server when something has "drawn the ire" of the...

I'm beginning to wonder if this 4e "Nerdrage" is resulting in someone or some groups of people DDoSing the WOTC forums.

In fact, given that it looks like it was a mistake and can be shown to be so in court.. and that it was taken down in hours upon notification.. it's likely that if Smiteworks DID sue them, then it would likely be dismissed in contempt for bad faith.

No, but it was indicated by the distributors that had purchased their own 50 copies of Philately D20 that PD20 was selling better than indicated, since they had to get rid of their copies. There was a lot of grandstanding in those days about how wonderful this was, and how great the products...

Guys, you're missing a core tenant of the Open Source movement. It's one of the reasons why most , if not all Open Source projects are FREE as in beer and free as in money. "Release Early, Release Often" is a best practice in the Open Source software world. If you cannot do that, you will be...

Good god, if I had a $1 for every time marketing took our mockups and showed them to the end customers, I'd be a billionaire. It's why I tend to make our mockups very, very vague and non-presentable outside the focus group I use them for. Never make your prototype look good, folks. They'll...
