Scott/Linae, appreciate the continued discourse. I keep coming back to one pertinent fact. WOTC cancelled the magazines. I'd love to see any info you'd like to share on the market data that shows your customers preferring online to print. However, I suspect the decision had little to do with...

Thanks Hussar! I'll do a little research before I generate any more questions. Off hand, I would think voice would be a good thing if it is integrated into the game-area with clear indication regarding who is talking. Text chat/side "whispers" could be supplemental. Well, OK, one question...

Hey - Hussar, thanks for the link. Looks interesting. That specific item referred to actually running a miniature/map on my computer we the players actually there at the table (and they dont all have laptops). If done right, it could be cool but, as I said, if the players don't have a PC they...

Kudos Morris. WOTC guys, thanks for the responses so far. A few points, then to some suggestions: OK - Thanks for the clarification. It helps to know that. Let's just be clear on this. I cannot imagine Paizo (Erik) would ever agree to this unless 1) You did not give him a choice or 2) You...

*ducks*

Note that a sale would come with an attendant tax burden. Also not sure who would be on a buyer list. If anything, I would think a spin-off which alleviates any tax hit and spins the company into it's own entity. It could do this in whole or in part. The only reason I would even contemplate...

The question is, which customers were CLAMORING for this new business model? I kind of thought our guys at Paizo were starting to turn a corner. How does WOTC run a successful business model? Create the best official content in the industry; Regardless of medium or channel. Why shutdown...

Yep - Taking all their lumps at once I suppose. Man, to be an employee of that company right now - if you are an actual gamer with any sense of history... They have got to know what is going on. Hopefully we get at least one person (with some form of conscience) from the company that breaks...

None. As an amoral corporate entity - None at all. In fact, the best thing for the entity is to also restrict it's small competitor from even coming out with another magazine for as long as it can. This brings about the added benefit of shutting off another avenue for other smaller...

Gotta love speculation. Lets try this one out (...in some alternate universe): 1. WOTC announces that the magazines are to move online. October will be the first issue. 2. Paizo announces two new magazines - Call them "Wyvern and Labyrinth" (See Monte's post...

An interesting line of thinking but lets examine this. If WOTC leadership were really that concerned for Paizo's well being they would have 1) Let Paizo keep the license for an "overlap" period with their "digital initiative" and/or 2) Enlisted their help in the new eWorld Neither has...

What Monte describes below seems to me closest to the mark regarding why WOTC made the change. Yeah, he could be totally wrong. But, if true, it does not strike me that the Company is simply trying to get with the e-World. This would be a rather draconian corporate move no regard about what...

I suppose I subscribe to the philosophy that "the customer comes first"; I work for a company where that is not only a principle but we also maintain a legal obligation with every customer to act in their best interests above those of the company. If the leadership at Wizards had done their...

Well, that certainly rings true. I also read the personal letters from some of the long-time staff of Wizards. To those folks: I ask you to think a bit before you post stuff like that. Do the research and understand who and what you work for. If you find that you don't agree with the...

Stormwrack p.151: Hadozee LA+0; +2 Dex, -2 Cha, Speed 30, Gliding, +4 Balance/Climb, Keep Dex while climbing, Bonus Class Skill: Prof/Sailor, Bonus Feat: Dodge, Favored Class: Rogue;

this is really what you are looking for. ~D

might check out the battledancer class in Dragon Compendium (also used in Savage Tide) ~D

No psionics here. Reasoning has more to do with confusing flavor and what we are trying to achieve with the world/campaign. Spellcasters are free to experiment and create new spells, but these fall into a common framework. Similarly, we do not use multiple "magic systems" ala Incarnum...

*high-five*

Some Food for Thought.... This is a melee build focused on saves and versatility; Use wands (shield, magic circle, fly, etc.) and scrolls to buff before combat (eg. before you open the door); cast divine favor (+3/+3); etc. Wands for ranged (ray of enfeeble, etc.) It seems that many...
