Talk like a pirate day.

WotC won't go down, it has licenses to print money that are not RPG related. If D&D got further manhandled, the industry would survive. But it would also splinter - everyone would go and play their favorite game. Some would stay with 3.5/4E/older versions of D&D (Just because nothing more...

Hmm.. If the 10:1 is correct, that means that 11 users spent roughly 30 bucks on 11 pdfs. Sounds like the price of a cup of coffee to me.

I wish you the best of luck. Honestly, I think you've got a great passion to want to start your own business and pursue the route of the entreprenuer. Unfortunately, you seem to be trying to enter a market in which you are competing against people who do the same thing for free. That is...

Agreed, lining up WotC as some evil villian, calling a poor marketing decision unethical, or comparing their practices to child sweatshops seems a bit overboard. I'm not going to change my personal preferences simply because WotC's marketing wing is dumb. That said, the dumber they get, the...

Getting back to point: If games were free, where would I play? Local Game Stores need to sell so that they can host gaming events. Sure, one can always play at home, but home games only go so far. They are great for a group of people for a long duration. Horrid for a more casual play...

Adding fuel to flame: Unfortunately, I can't blame WotC. I know of a few fellow gamers who use PDF's of WoTC games. I can't name a single one, however, that paid for it to my knowledge. Some have even boasted about their extensive collections of illicitly acquired 3.5 and 4E books. If we...

Yea, solos absolutely need some interesting terrain to make it more interesting than an hour of using at-wills. (or the contrast, exploding in a burst of dailies).

Nice work dnddays - cought a few of us suckers :) Sometimes the best jokes are the ones with grains of truth! (though in full disclosure, my initial reaction is "Dangnabbit Paizo, what'd you do now" I guess I'm also an april fool in other ways)

Milestones/Extended Rests: Get a few characters a meliorating armor. Now, given the choice to rest or lost your +2/+3 bonus. That character is gonna be really mad at the rogue who just wasted his surges. Create weapons that are like meliorating armor (+ to damage, not hit) and suddenly the...

I've got some transparencies that I've cut out for large blasts/bursts. Sometimes visualizing the larger blasts (burst 2, blast 5, blust 3) is harder. Of course, the very large bursts (5 or larger) tend to hit everyone in the room, so they don't matter nearly as much.

They already do, hence expertise feats...

I don't see any problem with marking effects while swallowed. If i swallowed a circular saw, it wouldn't be all that healthy for me either. Note, however, depending on the intelligence of the creature, it might not swallow a creature that is capable of marking it. Or it might, once its...

That's probably the worst of all worlds. You had a relatively inflexible DM, in probably the worst timeframe (A 4-5 hour adventure in a 3 hour timeslot usually) and enought new stuff that it makes it hard to adjust, since everyone Weaknesses with RPGA: You can get an inexperienced DM...

I bought two sets from RPGShop and I love em. Yes, they are chessex, bt I don't know if there is a difference between them. Reading above says that it is oK. Slightly annoying to have to paint them and file down the one imperfection (Which you should be familiar with from the gamescience...

Are you sure about that? Every dwarf I know sure loves his spirits, especially in a large mug. I'm going to make a Dwarf Shaman and his spirit companion is going to be a barrel. :) That, or a Monkey with a rum barrel (Since I happen to have one from a warhammer empire sprue)

It is hard at first, yes. But an RPGA membership without a community of RPGA memberships is pretty worthless (except in cases like yours andd mine, when you want to get somethign started). Note, RPGA membership is now the same as DCI membership, so if you can find a Magic: The Gathering event...

There will be plenty of PHB2 Gameday action if the morning events prove only to increase your desire for dice rollin'!

I wouldn't use a misdirected rant to evaluate 4E roleplaying. In my mind 4E is as good as any other system for roleplaying, some ways better, some ways worse. It is better in the sense that you don't have to be the "face" guy to participate anymore. The 6 charisma fighter type with -2...

This is the first 4E book that has impressed me art wise so far. The black dragon rage pic is pretty cool. The infernal bard is freindish and cute all at the same time (I know, that's not necessarily a good thing in general, but I bet that hits a market segment dead on!).
