    4 Hours w/ RSD - Escapist Bonus Column

    Except that obviously to a fair amount of gamers it is different. I'll say this and it's not just limited to gamers, people in general dont appreciate or value the work that gets put into any endeavor unless IT'S THIER WORK or ENDEAVOR. It's not just artists and writers either. Look how easy...

    4 Hours w/ RSD - Escapist Bonus Column

    Wow a lot of venom in that post right above mine. I especially love how he basically calls Dancy and Lisa Stevens both liars for failing to produce research that's probably over 10 years old. If the research DID still exist it probably would be in the hands of their competitors WOTC. But let's...

    If Hasbro Pulls the Plug....

    It wouldnt affect me at all. I've pretty much stopped supporting D&D since 2008 so if it went away? Meh. I'd still have Pathfinder and Hero System and M&M so...

    The Escapist on D&D Past, Present, and Future

    Which is something that I'm kinda fine with as someone who doesn't play 4E. While I dont and wont play the RPG, the boardgames are things that I've actually spent money on and have enjoyed playing with my 9 year old. And there's no danger of them really being obsolete in a way where people wont...

    What is your view of EN Publishing?

    I think that I have the first 2 or three adventures of the WOTBS AP (3.5). I remember them being interesting but not really my cup of tea. Then 4E came and it seemed that EN Publishing hitched their wagon to WOTC and 4E. My dollars went to Paizo because they were supporting the game that I...

    The Escapist on D&D Past, Present, and Future

    Man either people in this thread we'rent around here for the 4E transition or they have really short memories. I could have sworn there was a contingent of folks around here who were applauding the fact that the D&D 4E were going after the younger, MMORPG crowd (citing that getting new blood in...

    The Escapist on D&D Past, Present, and Future

    For the record I've actually run a few games for the author more than a few years ago he was part of a short lived D&D 3.5 game I ran in midtown manhattan. I saw him again a few years ago at a few of the NY D&D Meetups and he was deep into 4E. In fact I'm pretty certain that his name is on the...

    The Escapist on D&D Past, Present, and Future

    I suppose the all of the people who are STILL playing 3.5 in some form or fashion (including Pathfinder) are playing a broken game? Way to edition war there buddy.

    Mission Impossible: 4 - Ghost Protocol. Anyone seen it?

    The IMF had a "name" for the big baddie, not an identity. The name was "Cobolt". That was the whole point of them breaking into the Kremlin at the beginning of the movie (to pull the file on Cobolt) and the set up for everything that happens afterwards. By the time they have an identity to go...

    Mission Impossible: 4 - Ghost Protocol. Anyone seen it?

    I saw it the day that it opened in IMAX and loved it. To me it's the best movie in the series and the only one that feels like a team movie. Tom Cruise is still definitely the star but Paula Patton, Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner arent just window dressing. Each of the team members have a...

    [Trailer] Promethus

    People who doubt that this movie is connected to ALIEN in anyway need to watch the original trailer for ALIEN then watch the PROMETHEUS trailer right after it. Not only is the formation of the title credits the same but several of the audio queues are pretty much identical to the ALIEN...

    Do you want/are you ready for a D&D 5th edition?

    But it's as far from the mark as much as it is you implying that NO ONE switched out of pure brand loyalty because we know that that's not true. There are people who are blindly going to follow WOTC / D&D no matter what they do. There have been people here on this board during the switch to 4E...

    FLGS and DnD?

    Exactly, my group is 5 players and I've had to modify some of the encounters anyway and have STILL lost two PC's during the first two parts of the AP. Would have lost more if not for a *house ruled action point mechanic that I have in place. Without that rule we would have lost at least two more...

    FLGS and DnD?

    Yeah, everything else that you said I was fine with up until this statement. I've been running Pathfinder since it's release. The AP I'm running now is actually an 3.5 AP (Curse of the Crimson Throne). I'm using resources from 3.5 pretty much with little modification with my game and have been...

    FLGS and DnD?

    Yeah the whole " You people dont like change!!" thing by some of the 4E proponents rings about as hollow and the whole "4E isnt D&D" thing. It's not that it's different or that people are afraid of change. It's just that we tried 4E and DIDNT LIKE IT. If we were so afraid of change would some...

    D&D 5E (2014) Art direction and 5th edition

    Unless you like the way Todd McFarlane action figures look... I dont get this, I dont play 4E but I do have the 3 core rulebooks which have Wayne R. art on the covers and inside them. I DO play Pathfinder and have a metric butt load of their products as well which also have Wayne R. art on...

    FLGS and DnD?

    Which is why I like CASTLE RAVENLOFT and WRATH OF ASHRALDOLON(?) as boardgames (They are kind fun) but I'm not a fan of 4E as an FRPG.

    Monster Stand-Ins vs. other products

    The more the merrier may be right, but right now your product is roughly $30 for 150 pawns and Paizo's is $35 for over 300. The Paizo pawns are a proven product, in demand based on their appearance in the Beginner Box. They are releasing almost the entirety of their Bestiary in that pawn box...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo's box of beasts

    Yeah I'm also trying to figure out how $35 for over 300 pawns is expensive. Especially if you were going to buy these as mini's either through random packaging or through the singles market. I do not have a huge collections of plastic preprinted miniatures so this? At this price point is like...

    WotC's Annual Xmas Layoffs

    I'm pretty sure they have been laying people off like clockwork since before the edition wars started. I think they've been doing it since shortly after 3.0 was released, so I don't think that the edition wars or Pathfinder, or the poor reception of Essentials can be blamed for it. They may be...
