Wow. While I'm not totally surprised at reading that from Clark, I'm definitely somewhat surprised. Clark has been the staunchest public supporter of the GSL and WotC (of the major 3PPs) and to see him publicly declare he won't use it in its current form (at least, without some major...

Savage Worlds is my game of choice. Does what I want it to do incredibly well, ignores or minimizes the stuff I think is unimportant. Can adapt to nearly any genre easily, is easy to learn and lots of fun (focus on fun). Bonus for gamemasters: little prep and less bookkeeping. I've played Hero...

Listening to it right now. The GSL questions are at the beginning of the cast. Joe says that the early modules will be published under the OGL ("its a very flexible document") and the later ones will be published under the GSL. "Goodman Games will be onboard with the GSL". The main reason he's...

Interesting reads. Thanks for posting them.

Which means, of course, Wizards will probably do it.

My players typically only buy the rulebook, if even that. (I have five extra copies of the rulebook, so they don't have to if they don't want to.) They are supposed to supply their own dice, and some bring over their own drinks. Other than that, I usually supply rulebooks, setting books...

Ari, that sucks. Truly. :( As for Gleemax, meh. Good riddance to bad trash. If I was someone who was looking forward to the DDI, I would be worried that the same resources that made Gleemax so, uh, cancelable will be transitioned to the DDI. Not encouraging. (But hey, all your dungeons can be...

You have a few crappy products, and mainly the easy ones, mind you - a basic CMS and a searchable database, and the least easy one (Gleemax) is highly buggy, and feature-lite. In fact, it reminds me a whole lot of the little CD that came in the 3x PHB. You wanna use that as the capstone of your...

This for me, where current version(s) == 3x or 4x.

Really? The visualizer is out? And the cost structure has been formally published? Or is this just speculation, based on something WotC has said about their latest vaporware?

I don't play D&D at all these days. Haven't played 3e in years, and haven't played 4e yet. Not likely to unless someone I know and trust runs a game of it (which, I suppose, is possible). Actually, I have played B/X D&D in the last year or two, and just got the old white boxed set, and I'm...

Most of the time they make it available via their site after Gencon (if they have extras) or you can find copies of them on ebay, or elsewhere. Thats where I got my few 1E GG modules.

I was looking for the "yes, is this a trick question?" answer, but had to settle for just "yes". :) If I used all of my gaming material, I'd probably do nothing but game. Heck, if I did nothing but read all the gaming material I've accumulated, I wouldn't even have time for gaming. Sigh. I...

I like both the Adventure Begins and the Adventure Continues a great deal. They have a lot of really good mini-adventures, and the good adventures far outweigh the few clinkers. I've found them to be very adaptable, and have used pieces in various games. I also have #35, and thought to use it...

And note that the single biggest voting group voted a 2 - suboptimal.

I voted a '2'. I haven't read the replies yet (although I will when I'm done posting) to not cloud my initial thoughts: I really like their dungeon tiles. I liked their prepainted minis line (up until recently). Those are my favorite of their product lines. (And that right there oughtta tell...

Joey, the God of Basketweaving. :)

I'm in the "I'll use errata if I like it" - but the errata I like gets dumped in my houserules. That is more out of laziness than anything else - I like there to be two and only two places to look for rules: the book, or my houserules doc. (Okay, well three are really three - there is also "in...

I'm sorry, but the idea that this "glut" business being a problem with the OGL is total nonsense, regardless of the credentials of those promoting it. And even if there is a grain of truth in the assertion, the GSL simply doesn't solve that problem. My observation is that there are two primary...

You could do a line of low cost non-random miniatures (see: Confrontation, Reaper, etc), and those seem to have a direct correlation between price and quality. To me, it appears that random collectibility is more about increasing selection than decreasing price, or that is to say, it allows a...
