Er, what's this Rooftop Garden? As someone who has purchases all the other Fabled Environment floorplans, I can't find this one? Is it not out yet? Edit: nevermind, I found it. It's gratis! http://12tomidnight.com/tag/modern-floorplans/

Asking people to name their un-favoritest-settings seems to prompt the invevitable counter reaction and invite flamewars. I think threads to the tune of "what makes a setting exciting" are generally more cordial.

I did come in swinging at the premise of the thread, but let me say this much without naming names. The two things that make settings dull to me are: 1) Lack of motivating conflicts as a fundamental feature of the setting. Some settings seem to just be playthings with "minds eye candy" that...

3.5 took a downturn for me when they started with the base class glut (and that 4e seems to be designed with this consideration out of the starting gate is a major minus for me). AFAIAC, the core, plus maybe 3-6 more to round out any specific topic the game may have (psionics, swashbuckling...

I'm finishing up our Spycraft 2.0 campaign. After that, the action will probably go back to my Mongoose Traveller campaign (set in the T20 Gateway to Destiny setting) which is currently on hiatus, or start a new Spycraft 2.0 game. I have a small urge to run a Pathfinder AP in 3.5; that may or...

What does Warhammer fantasy have to do with this. But otherwise, I do see the point. But I see your point too. :) That's not what I'd call "sticking with 3.5", but I'd say that some d20 variants like Pathfinder, Conan D20, and FantasyCraft deliver (and possibly even improve upon) the sort of...

The poll makes no sense to me, so I'll just answer here: I could say I'm so upset I'll boycott 4e, but I already don't play 4e, so no change there. I could say I'll boycott wizards PDFs, but er, what's to boycott. I could buy them before, now I can't. So it does affect me (I did buy, and...

Thanks for the gift you have given us, and Godspeed, Dave.

I have this thing about not rewarding bad corporate behavior.

The biggest single casualty as I see it doesn't affect retro-clone/homage publishers so much as would-be players. And that casualty is Rules Cyclopedia. On many circles I run it, it's the one old edition book every seems to respect, and I heard of lots of people buying it to scratch that old...

Ethics, Empathy with the author, which I think are in your edited first post. And one that's not: Enlightened self interest. I know what I like, and when I see something I like, I want the publisher/author to produce/distribute more of the same. If people get money writing for a game I like...

Companies shoot themselves in the foot all the time. That doesn't make it not a bad thing. I don't know how this affects 4e's bottom line. If 4e loses a few fans over this, I won't say I'm sad about that. But plenty of people never game using pdfs. But as for me, WotC was getting my money...

So much for that.

Hmmm... by my (admittedly brief due to dinner being on the table) reading of the internet retailer agreement, the clauses seem to be more targeted at some stuff with MTG marketing. If true, all the D&D/pdf stuff should blow over. Edit: Hrm. Looking again, it sounds like you must have a brick &...

Well, just to test, I tried to re-download a classic product, and got a "wizards has suspended all sales" message. Yet all products still seem available for sale, and the ones in my wishlist are still there.

Good to hear things are looking up. Hoping for the best.

Well, if AEG did it with L5R... ;)

Some books like Revalation Space got me in the frame of "Frontier SF". I never really got into because I felt I'd have to retool much of it... and when I start down that road, I get to the point that I'd rather make my own thing. Particularly, I found the inner system stuff in Helios Rising to...
