    Re-booting D&D with a new edition - how necessary is it?

    I think considering how niche of a market it is to begin with, it might be more realistic to realize that your revenue stream will only ever reach a certain level. Maybe a smaller, leaner brand is the solution. Constant re-invention only erodes your base over time.

    Pathfinder 1E If Paizo can, why can't Wizards of the Coast?

    I believe, that if Paizo came to Gencon next year and announced Pathfinder 2.0, and that it was going to be incompatible with current Pathfinder rules, and all 3E material, there would be just as much outrage. On top of that, if they announced that they were re-concepting Golarian, and...

    No Character Builder Update

    ...and so it begins. Hope this doesn't become a trend.

    Clutter

    For me, that's the thing with the CB. It's a great tool for crafting your characters...if you already know what you want to build, and are familiar with the options. But set a player in front of it who hasn't kept up with all the splats and articles, and let them wade through all the...

    What religious pantheon do you use?

    In my homebrew, I started long ago with the classic mythological pantheons and modified and altered them until I was comfortable with the end result. Each major group of races has their own pantheon, but the largest group (for humans) is based somewhat on the Norse gods. A second continent...

    What happened to Gygax's Lejendary Adventures?

    Wait, wait, wait. You mean Lejendary Adventures had a set/collection called Essentials?

    Ravenloft Board Game Delayed Again?

    Miniature Market has it for $45 plus shipping. Buy.com has it for $40 plus shipping, but like Amazon, is showing Sept. 21 for release.

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    I can't help but feel if WoTC really cared about the FLGS, they'd offer them free boosters to use in the demos. Like they do the adventure packs and tokens. Although it used to be minis. The danger in the current plan is for the poor FLGS that adds the extra staff and orders the extra...

    Ravenloft Board Game Delayed Again?

    That just looks like normal Amazon shenanigans to me. Their distribution has really suffered in recent years. Especially when it comes to gaming products. It might be other products too, but those seem to be the types of products that I had problems with when I still ordered from them. :erm...

    So Amazon is calling it a revised edition?

    Do You Write In Or Modify Your Game Manuals?

    I have put post it note tabs in some of my books so I can quickly flip to certain sections, but I would never write in the books themselves. Except, I do put my own personal mark on the inside covers of all my gaming books to indicate ownership.

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    Heh, the double down is a monster of a sandwich that doesn't have bread...the "bread" was 2 chicken patties, with cheese and bacon (?) in between.

    At What Point Does PF Become Its Own System?

    Nope. Just trying to state that it doesn't have to be completely new to be its own system. The second part of what I was saying was in response to the implication some make that Paizo doesn't deserve any credit for Pathfinder's success because they didn't do all the work themselves. A...

    At What Point Does PF Become Its Own System?

    I think its definately "its own system" now. Some might say that it doesn't count because they're building on a framework that someone else created, but I say horsefeathers to that! Many of the folks at Paizo worked at WoTC during 3E, and some worked for good ole TSR. It's their game as much...

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    Not to derail, but on the subject of "paying to demo", some buddies of mine tried to demo 4E at Gencon after being told it wasn't time for the Ravenloft Boardgame demos, but that they'd have to come back about an hour later when someone would be there to run the demo for them...and then told...

    [real life] Cash versus convenience... help!

    Go with your friend's suggestion. Try the new place, and if it doesn't work out you can still move in with him. I agree that the commute will really eat at you.

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    I can't help but feel that, with the introduction of these cards + the Gamma World setting (which will also include a randomized card set) + the Ravenloft and Wrath of Ashadarlon board games... That we are seeing the beginnings of some testing for the future...
