Hi Grodog! Amazing review, man. Just got mine from FRP Games. For the moment, they have more copies ... FRP GAMES - Your Hobby Gaming Source

Nice to see you around here, Ryan. Best of luck to you.

Hopefully this will lighten your spirit a little, Darrin. Game Empire, an amazing game store in San Diego, has done so well that they opened up another one in Pasadena last year. This is probably in opposition to the trend, but hey ... one more is one more.

Paizo's customer service is amazing. I've had a handful of problems over the last few years, and each time their CS went above and beyond the call to correct the situation. There is no need for panic. Paizo will make things right for you, I'm sure.

The GSL makes 4e much less attractive to me. First, I've lost respect for WotC for taking this position. That's not to mention the way they've left 3pp hanging in the wind. Second, if WotC is going to be producing the lion's share of game materials, I forsee mostly mediocrity in this game's...

Oh! A logic lesson. I LOVE actual logic. That is a really good point, and it is easy to confuse the two as they are so closely related. Arumentum ad Verecundiam is in fact the inverse of Argumentum ad Hominem. They are two distinct logical fallacies, yet both are equally fallacious. One most...

I understand your frustration. I feel it is always better to error on the side of politeness and respect when faced with a disagreement over information not directly pertaining to your mother or her disposition.;) We can all work to make ENWorld a more polite place. Hooray!

Even though you're responding to xechnao here, I feel compelled to say something. Really evilref, it isn't necessary to make all of your points so personal and condescending. ENWorld has a reputation for being a lovely place to have a good discussion. Please try to be respectful of your fellow...

Oh, I'm hip to that, baby. That conjecture I was forming was based on the following assumption: that WotC might, in the future, manage to quash Open Gaming (as Wyrmshadows outlines below, in admittedly clearer language than my own). I think it is bad for D&D if Open Gaming dies. I think it...

I may be an "illogical" and "over-simplified" ragamuffin. I'll take that. Hell, I sometimes "exaggerate" and even think in "overly-idealistic" terms. My best quality, though, is my ability to condescend without any hint of subtlety whatever.

Preposterous!

Um ... except that is what's happening here, my friend. To summarize, Clark Peterson, 4e's "staunchest supporter," is discouraged by the GSL from publishing several adventures his company already has in the pipeline. I completely agree with this. Totally. My concern is not that WotC will hire...

Hello, evilref! Thank you for responding to my thoughts. To clarify my point, the GSL seems, in my perception (and that of several other posters in this thread), like a thinly veiled attempt to discourage any 3pp from creating content that can compete directly with the niche created by WotC's...

This is more my fear than my hope. It seems apparent that buying up the creative minds of the competition may well be WotC's strategy. Judging form the impact of their GSL, why wouldn't it be? If I was working at Wizards, that's exactly what I'd be thinking. It kind of seems like WotC is...

QFT on both points. I feel your pain, friend.

The OGL was a beautiful thing. IMHO, it wasn't the primacy of the 3E ruleset that help D&D to flourish and attract more gamers than ever. Nay, it was the openness of the system. OGL gave rise to amazing amounts creativity from the best minds in the world, as opposed to only those employed by...

Well, at least that explains all that klaxon, harp and choir music I've been hearing lately. And here I thought I had suffered a blow to the head ...
