For people who don't know, the reason Dragon Age is assumed to be destined to awesome-ness is because it's made by the same guys that made the Baldur's Gate series, which has been one of the best and most successful (if not "the") D&D-licensed video game to exist. Regardless of anybody's...

Hey, awesome. Impressive. So, hey, that countdown timer, what do you think THAT'S all about?

I am a programmer. By profession. I know all about programming schedules and development. And guess what? A year overdue is still a year overdue. You aren't intimidating anybody my friend :) Although it's funny how some people think that ambiguity and posturing can actually serve to make any...

Keefe, I'd say that would be make for an excellent and original campaign setting, But I don't see how D&D itself would need to be changed into it. It would work fine as an Eberron-type campaign book on top of the game.

I'd say the Baldur's Gate series of computer games. The whole of my group and myself are veterans of the whole series, having played and loved both 1 and 2 and both expansions through to the end. Regardless of BG being different D&D rules or any of that, we agree that playing 4e has taken us...

I can't believe noone's come up with the following angle to this yet, namely: The real "four words" are coming up.

Except he's not being quoted but loosely paraphrased. Can't be used for anything but forum melodrama. There's a reason he didn't allow the conversation to be taped or transcribed.

WOW. Even though I have no plans of getting this I have to say this is an AWESOME cover. Good to see there's someone out there who knows how to do it right. @Klaus, that strikes me as an excellent example of how two images can be similarly composed and yet not be even in the same 'league of...

It's OOTS. It will have nothing special, then at the last panel someone will say, "Hey I bet everybody was expecting us to have something special for strip 666! Ha!" Or something along those lines. (Edit -> I totally love OOTS by the way, but that's just the kind of thing Rich Burlew loves to do).

I, on the other hand, think it's a great idea to ignore gamers. Gamers are cheap. Gamers are cynical. Gamers without fail believe they are smarter than you and can one-up you at any and every turn (as if anybody who reads these or the WotC boards ever needed any of this to be spelled out). But...

I think all the Core triad - PH1, MM1, DMG1 - could sorely do with a full re-design and re-print. Something that incorporates all the advances and insights developed so far in the game from its beginning. It would improve the game and *keep it* on the road of constant improvement, which is how...

The stuff you wrote in your OP is -precisely- what you should be communicating to them. You should be telling them all this directly. So take your post, copy it into a notepad, re-write it in the second person, add in a few "I'm really sorry"s, paste it into an email and send it, and see what...

Oh, of course. My children would find it as well. And everybody's children on these boards. It wouldn't be enough, they would still die out. Sure, in a couple generations somebody somewhere would still be playing them... on the same scale that say kick-the-can or hopscotch are still played...

It depends on the length of time. If D&D were to disappear - completely disappear - then RPG's as a hobby would be dead within a generation, two at most. Of course if D&D disappeared TODAY, the industry would go on TODAY. And tomorrow. And next year. And all within my and your lifetime. Of...

Ha, you really think that what determines whether something is competition or not is one side "explicitly saying" that they have a problem with the other side?? Funny... It doesn't matter if the WotC staff and the Paizo staff have daily group hugs, picnics in the sunshine every weekend and give...

(double post) :/

Surprised no-one's yet pointed out that this is nothing more than a semantics issue. You (OP) don't feel grind because your definition of "grind" and your threshold for boredom is just different from the people who do. For example? 2 or 3 fights in 3 hours. Wow. If any session of mine needed 3...

Hate to come off as a downer (although I seem to be doing that more and more lately) But is there anybody, really, who doubts how this phone call is actually going to go? I mean, come on. Here's the call in a nutshell. "We are very happy with how 4th Edition is performing. We have reprinted...

No, you can't. This is probably the most inflaming and insulting thing in the entire communication (and that's kinda saying something)... assuming a level of intelligence for the average ENWorld reader, where they can propose to come in and go "we can"... oooooo, see cause they're this big...

Sorry, but I can tell you as a regular poster on the WotC forums that this is transparently and blatantly false. Criticism and flames against the company and its decisions live healthy and well over there. You can even go look at their own version of the "Oh no no more PDFs" thread which not...
