I woulda guessed simply that Gnomes (like half-elves) just aren't that popular compared to the standard elves or dwarves.

I get the feeling that the jackarse on there was probably from RPG.net ;)

All the stores are being closed, probably regardless of whether individual stores were making money or not. The one in the Westminster mall seemed to do pretty well businesswise.

Man you guys have GOT to check out the comments section on the link to article that I posted. Its freaking hilarious LOL

The WotC store in my local mall wasn't too bad compared to some of the horror stories I hearing from other people. At one time they even had the entire RPG collection prominently displayed in the front of the checkout center! But then again I could find a larger and better selection at some of...

On the gamingreport website, someone is saying that WotC will close all their Wizards of the Coast stores as well as The Game Keeper stores as well. Here's the link: http://www.gamingreport.com/article.php?sid=11286&mode=thread&order=0 Thoughts? Most of the stuff they sold were family...

There is an RPG called Cartoon Action Hour along with the supplement "Metal Wars" that lets you play something very similar to Transformers called transbots. Just bought em this weekend haven't read it yet though.

There's a dwarven fighter in one of my groups and he's at least the 2nd most powerful member (the strongest one being an Ogre warrior which is pretty similar).

Hmm, I'll be optimistic and say there may be roughly 2 to 2.5 million table-top RPGers (of all games including d20, whitewolf, palladium, gurps, etc). While it sounds like a big number, but out of the (roughly) 300 million people of the US population, that is pretty much just a drop in the bucket.

Gotta agree there. Maybe perhaps make it so that the number of people required to play be more flexible (i.e. anywhere from 2 to 8 players say)

Oh and what is the 'Map Folio' about anyways?

These are the ones that interest me: D&D: Unearthed Arcana D&D: Expanded Psionics Handbook D&D: Complete Divine D&D: Eberon Campaign Setting D&D: Players Guide to the Planes Might get a minis pack mainly for collecting. Probably will buy some splats for Exalted and/or Werewolf as well as they...

Being relatively new to the hobby, I was just wondering if anyone knew what the average length for most campaigns are nowadays? One of my groups will last roughly half a year (but could continue much longer if group wants to). I remember reading in Computer Games magazine where Gary Gygax...

Excellent analysis :cool: Regardless of one's personal opinion of 3.5 or the mini's line, I do think they help bring DnD out into the public spotlight and will lead more non-gamers into becoming acquainted with the brand and therefore bringing in new blood into the hobby. White Wolf is also...

An adventure that emphasizes use of social skills, i.e. diplomacy, bluff, gather info, sense motive, disguise, bardic knowledge, etc. Something that allows quest completion through alternative means than just simply 'bashing the door down'.

Swords & Sorcery and Mongoose are pretty good I think.

You sure are right about that ...yeeeesh! They might as well rename that place to GrouchyGeezers.net or WoeisMe.net :rolleyes: Seems like nobody over there has anything positive or healthy to say about the RPG industry or hobby. Depressing place that

I haven't seen it yet. I'll definitely 'browse' it first to see if it suits me fancy hehe. :o BTW, I heard that the guy who authored it, Anthony Valterra, was fired from WotC because of this. Any truth to it?

4th Ed is coming....next year! Muwhahahahahaha :p j/k

Pretty much any consumer entertainment industy (pc/console games, music, books,etc.) is VERY hit-driven nowadays, where only the elite few "hits" generates a disproportionate number of sales and marketshare.
