Okay, so I used to do comics, and for a while I did Magic cards...but now apparently I collect sadly-lacking or discontinued software for D&D. My favorite was and is DMGenie, but now it's dead due to lack of interest by the creator, and the 4E "No Software" nonsense. I own Fantasy Grounds...

But isn't kind of the point that the six million statement isn't really aimed at people who can 'understand that...is one given for D&D players of ALL editions'...but at people who will likely make the assumption that 6M "fans" is 6M customers of whatever they're putting out NOW? It's part...

The last is the best, as it is likely the most true -- spread the credit/blame around.

Hmm.. First looking at that ludicrous statement about trying a physical copy before buying a PDF...nonsense. I want a real example of a person who does that because I don't know of any. Next - I'm not sure if this is true for the stores that are complaining, but if I wanted to try and employ...

I won't remain as negative as some folks (who may be justified in feeling as they do)...but I'm not sure I was ever an official "naysayer" (though I had my doubts)...I was more of a man-did-you-guys-botch-this-out-the-gate and wow-this-is-taking-a-long-time sayer....both of these for me remain...

From my limited reading of the GSL, that's exactly why I have no interest in getting involved. It can be changed any time, and your only option if you don't like any given change appears to be simply to stop publishing anything under the GSL and destroy anything you'd done to that point...

Well, to speak up for (but not speak for) Mr. Jacobs, it is hard to create an analogy in this situation, and still stay within the realm of RPGs. I won't detail all the things that I saw and didn't like in what I BELIEVE was actually the ALPHA (not even the beta) - - pretty much the day they...

That part of your post confused me...isn't this exactly what Mongoose did with the pocket guides? I don't have mine in front of me...is it missing levelling rules? For some reason I thought the 'no rules/process for levelling' was a GSL thing. I don't have any problem with you doing your own...

That's the problem with what they're doing...it doesn't give ME any reason to go to Pathfinder. It's the wrong solution to several problems, some of which people can disagree about whether they NEED fixing. People who were heavily invested (time AND $$$$$) into 3.5 were reluctant to toss that...

...which is why of course for ME (and I only speak for myself and my dog) the laptop is indispensable. Not only is everything easy to record (I can type MUCH faster than I can write, and I can actually READ the output later if I type it!), but the tools I use have logs, and so I can actually...

...well, you must remember that I do without other luxuries (like food). If I had to run a 'low tech' campaign I would agree with much of what's already written...here are some other tools I've found useful: 3x5 cards or those blank business cards - they work well for tracking...

It looks like they'll ship across the pond. Sicherman Dice If not, why not just grab a load of blank d6s (available LOTS of places) and make your own? EDIT/UPDATE: I just placed an order for various things, and they do ship to the U.S. - - shipping to the U.S. of multiple packs of dice was...

I am normally incredibly disorganized, and 3.5 while still my system of choice is so befuddling at times...so I actually ended up buying a laptop computer that is devoted SOLELY to DMing and game prep. I'm not sure if you'd want everything that's on it, and there's lots of redundancies, but here...

My original goal was to not stretch too far, so that the pun is there, but the adventure is not deliberately goofy and convoluted to justify the pun...ideally the adventure idea would be the cool part. But then I lost my mind a bit.... A Stygian Time Saves Nine - - the party attempts to...

I don't consider the ones he's mentioned as 'cheater dice' - - a cheating die would be something like these (which I have): - a d6 where the 6 is replaced with a second 1 (great for old edition secret door checks!) - a d20 where the 1 is replaced with a second 20 (criticals a poppin!) The...

Try to keep this short (and I'll fail) - - The End of the Evil Lord Westyn After having enough of his evil machinations, the party besieges the Lord's keep, using a summoned Stone Golem. The party's archer was on the roof of a building nearby, taking out guards as the rest tried to enter the...

Scott, It's like some hellish SAT question - - "Soon" is to "Months and Months and Months" as "Tomorrow" is to...? It's like there's some insane bistromathics going on, and I can't wrap my head around it enough to do the calculations. Is "Tomorrow" sooner than "Soon"? Does the modifying...

This is ignoble, with a strange grace to it. DM = me...1st edition game about twenty years back. Krastus and his party encounter a slime creature - the kind that eats and grows...touch it and .....bad thing. They manage to avoid the creature, but can't figure out how to kill it. Just down...

That would be reasonable...not sure how hard it is to delete bits and pieces of a thread, but it seems like in cases where something is reported, any mod action that deletes 100% of the BASIS for reporting should either contain a comment from the mod, or they might as well just go ahead and also...

Okay...so...um...apparently something has been reported. Forgive me for also sounding naive, but I'm not sure what the basis for any 'reporting' of this thread would be....? Because of the assertion that 'most' don't know what they're talking about (which seems a bit hyper-sensitive, unless...
