TBH, I'd dismiss it even if I had actual data backing it up from other sources. It's this very form of communication, or fact presentation they showed - that I'm against, because it creates awful rep to actual statistics and undermines very premise of providing information. It is something I see...

Well at least one mantra of denial comes from an avid PF fan, yours truly. "The charts are based on interviews with retailers, distributors, and manufacturers." Which I read as "we didn't bother even with pulling numbers out of :):(:), we just asked a question we won't bother to repeat, so...

First and foremost - I think about the adventure, how I'd play (not lead) it. GM and player expectations can often differ on how you "should" act in given situation. I think of things players can screw up/ make a breakthrough in/ just play out differently. It's more of a mental exercise than...

QFT, as it was posted at 3rd, and the thread already reached 8 pages. Meanwhile, some of the users actively engaged in discussion as pro-ad. And nothing reinforces opinion as restating it. Sure, some in similar way entrenched as anti-Essentials, but all effective strategies repel some customers...

While it doesn't address the problem you're raising, it should be a good temporary remedy: Book Depository - free shipping, 7-14 days to Australia. Not as good as parallel release, not as bad as 2 month delay.

Neat! I rarely visit Paizo forum, as it gives me severe archive-panic (so much traffic!), and I never actually gave the FAQ button much thought. Makes me love Paizo PR even more (FAQ's from what I've noticed too often consist of Questions We Wished People Asked :P). Alas, I gave you xp today...

In survival mode, yeah - there are various creatures that can harm you. Some are nocturnal (and killed by sun), some (spiders) are aggressive only by night, some can threaten you anywhere (damn creepers!). It's essentially a sandbox meets Lego meets Engineering toys. Gathering resources and...

I think I might be a mansplainer, because I sure as hell can't spot the difference between explaining and mansplaining. The article you link to confuses me, and the link's it provides - even more so. The Michael H. states his opinion to which he gets a response that I'd label as d-word-ish ...

Very fun to watch. Great work on scaling down the adventure to fit a panel - something that really takes work from GM. I only wished there were more NPC's - I really like Chris Perkins roleplaying. That said, this videos really made me appreciate (especially since I'm a headphones person) all...

And right you are, to be on your toes - there's a lot of small changes that could be otherwise missed, and make a huge difference(ie how class skill works, class balance). Better to ask than be sorry. I didn't see original PF play tests, but in the current one - Ultimate Magic, the wording is...

Neat thread! Alas, I have to spread XP a bit. (So if someone could cover me?) BTW, I see that you want to use this for 4e, whereas I really don't know how exactly the new mechanisms in Kingmaker work. So maybe someone who has it, could help both of us: Could you give a short description of how...

Well if you'd ask majority of EnWorlders this question, there's a rather definite answer: Kingmaker. I actually ignored it for a long time, just because I prefer less epic adventures (and I thought that's what it was, what with being kings and all). But the sheer number of times people...

I had to check myself, to believe :P I really hope that folks at Paizo know this problem. For a long 3.X player this is somewhat a given, but when someone is starting/ joining after a long time? Things can get confusing... I guess that's the problem with open play tests - people who join then...

First off - mudbunny, thanks for update - you've been a great sport about this whole situation, especially considering rather hostile responses every now and then :) So, yeah - as far as two most critical questions raised by this: 1. will this mean online-only use? 2. will this allow Linux and...

QFT. However, I have an additional thing I consider as bad. It doesn't bother me when others do it, but I try my best to avoid it, so I guess it's shows how I feel about it: - being a one trick pony. 528 thieves that differ only by name, 328 dwarven clone warriors, that kind of thing. Been...

DnD (and any other RPG's, for that matter) are first and foremost not a source of information, but an incentive to gather them. First glance at forums here, at EnWorld will show you for example how Gliese 581g got people excited, when they thought of making a tidally locked campaign setting. And...

Hehe, it's surprisingly addictive, yeah :) Back with the Indev version (because the game is still in Alpha stage of development, so new things are added all the time, although pre-purchase is possible) I'd just dig into mountains and think "Huh. Doesn't this remind me of dwarfs". I have a...

Hm... Do you know if they're planning to release it as a podcast as well?

tl:dr version: wolfs have such "official" position, it's the Beta wolf. In most tribes this role falls either to chieftain or the person who'd become chieftain next. It can be his brother, and then son in patriarchal societies, son of his sister in matriarchal ones (although there's a strong...

Whoah. If this works as intended, that would create such a great generation of players. Not that the two generations we have going are bad, but both relied heavily on either peers or Older Friends being the DM, which supposedly (didn't really encounter this problem myself) sometimes led to...
