He's talking about LOtR Online, not DDO.

It's very buggy (VPU reset errors) for me and I can run Fear, Doom 3, Obivion, and other new games without a problem. Also why did they chose to make the toons and monsters, sot cartoony? It's not as bad as WoW, but still they could have gone with darker, richer, and gloomy colors to better...

Hmm, grant you we have a only a seen a small bit of the overall rules, but making the mechanics simpler does not imply that they will any less powerful. Though I totally agree with you, beyond 10th it is not fun at all to run a game, as the PCs are just too powerful/overpowered; even as a...

1-10, beyond that I don't like superhero games

Fighters need nothing, if you believe the other classes are too powerful in comparison nerf them. Raising/escalating the power of one class over another is a slippery slope that many game designers have found is difficult to get off.

Because those companies have used and many still use the same molds literally for years and decades (see http://www.thortrains.net/armymen/bagtroop.html). The Tim-Mee plastic soliders I grew up with have been around with since 1969 I believe. The cost for the molds has long since been paid for...

Hmm, I imagine that the speculators that were hoarding discontinued and out-of-stock minis sets for the inevitable price increase would not be pleased. Like what happened with Magic the Gathering card sets, notably about the time Legends came out and many sets afterwards.

You may find some alternatives to WOTC's minis here: http://www.nobleknight.com/ViewManuf.asp?CategoryID=5 Though cheap pre-painted plastic (fantasy similar to D&D) minis just by browsing around I couldn't find, but I didn't check every single listing. I did notice a lot of old stock metal...

My wishes. First that it be fun to play as a player and fun to run as a DM. Right now after 10-12th level its no fun to run IMO and I see it with other DMs I play with. Even as a player my interests wanes around 12th level. We tried epic, for me no thanks! 1. Keep it more or less core D&D...

Re: Alternate or new distributor for RPGs... Ryan, What do you see lacking with the current distributors of RPG material? What business tools (new or othewise) do you feel a "new" distributor could bring to the publishers and retailers?

You can help yourself by reading Hasbro Annual Reports for the past few years. This is from memory, so I could be off a bit. They do mention that for WOTC (as others have said above) it was Magic the Gathering and Pokemon that was the true money maker for Hasbro for many years. D&D is not a...

For me, "its hell no, it cheaper and time saving buying in bulk" and as a 40 year old gamer with wife and kids, who has time to paint minis? I prefer woodcrafting over painting, especially since I spent the last six months painting my 3500sf house. I would like to spend some time building an...

Well damn I totally forgot about D20 Sidewinder, I bought it last year but no one in my group seemed interested in playing a straight western game. Thanks for the reminder.

Looking to run a Firefly D20 campaign for my next game in the coming year. I love the show, but admit I am not an uber fan and didn't take notes on all the hardware and names in the show. Also I would like to use D20 Modern and D20 Future as the base rules of the game. So some questions...

They don't, Turbine got outside investors to fund development of DDO (and MEO). They borrowed 17M-23M to acquire the D&D license from Atari and develop the game. Of course I am sure that Atari and WOTC collect a percentage off the license fees from each of the accounts. Last time I checked...

QFT Too many of the changes listed will make D&D into another game... why? Why don't people just play those games that include those elements that you are seeking to bring into D&D? Play True20/Blue Rose, Runequest (original or later versions), GURPS, Dragon Quest, Powers & Perils, Exalted...

Would love to, but alas my Fridays and Saturdays are taken. Only real time I would have is 6:00pm to 10:00pm Sundays. As I am in Leesburg a good in-between place would be the Game Palor in Chentilly. I would be willing to DM and play.
