    Roll20's Latest Report Shows Growth Everywhere!

    Let's see, PF2 debuted at Gen Con with was a month AFTER Origins. It was not ran at Origins in 2019. Hard to cancel a table that didn't exist. In my area all the game stores carry PF2. All of the Org Play lodges are seeing growth in my region and in the adjoining regions. There are some places...

    Roll20's Latest Report Shows Growth Everywhere!

    AL would increase possibly. The report is not good data. It is not gathered in any real scientific manner.

    Roll20's Latest Report Shows Growth Everywhere!

    I already stated it, but if you really want me to say it again, I will. I run and play Pathfinder Society. I organize live and online events. The online region is growing a lot of players and more of them are coming to PFS2. Also, PaizoCon GM signups are underway and PFS2 is getting the larger...

    Roll20's Latest Report Shows Growth Everywhere!

    Roll20's data is not worth much in my opinion. I already discussed this earlier in a post. I said what I based it on.

    Roll20's Latest Report Shows Growth Everywhere!

    Backward compatibility was not possible for PF2. The new edition uses different math because the 1e math did not support game expansions very well which resulted in a broken system that catered to powergaming way too much. Also, the majority of the 1e base went to 2e. There are some who outright...

    Roll20's Latest Report Shows Growth Everywhere!

    The first thing to realize is this report is trash. It is not an accurate picture of what is being played. The data collection system doesn't come close to addressing what is actually being played. It seems to use character sheets made for an account. It doesn't bring time played with those...

    Gen Con Event Registration Delayed

    I suspect they're waiting to see how things develop as states reopen prematurely. If the cases soar back up and overwhelm the healthcare system, then those states have to basically start all over again, or they can just say to hell with the people and let them get sick and die. At that point the...

    WotC Comparing EN World's Demographics to the D&D Community's

    I remember playing AD&D when I was 15 and having a blast. The old people in the game were maybe in their late twenties at the most in my area and there were few of them. Fast forward 40 years and now I'm considered one of the old geezers being overran by the hordes of young whippersnappers...

    VTTs Feel the Strain

    It is advised not to use MS Edge with Roll20, but if it works for you, great.

    The Indianapolis 500 will be August 23rd.

    VTTs Feel the Strain

    MS Edge does not work for Roll20. You need Chrome or Firefox. Be advised that Roll20 just released an updated dynamic lighting system on the 8th which uses WebGL. That works on Chrome and Firefox, but not on MS Edge.

    Origins Game Fair Postponed

    I don't see Gen Con being able to move the date very well. A lot would depend on the Indianapolis Colts schedule and what is already booked in the Convention Center on the weekends the Colts are not playing. The NFL season ends at the end of the year, so that would be a make up Gen Con in...

    VTTs Feel the Strain

    I have been using Roll20 since 2016 to play Pathfinder Society games. It works great. I just wish that it would sell Pathfinder Society scenarios ready to play. They keep focusing on 5e instead. I know 5e has a lot of players, but they're missing out on expanding their markets.

    Game Distributors Closing Down; RPG Publishers Affected

    Glad to see you are not giving up! That's always important in the neverending battle to survive and thrive in the retail world. I agree that Amazon and online shopping is the biggest competitor you will face. I also think that those who use proactive thinking and planning will have a major...

    Game Distributors Closing Down; RPG Publishers Affected

    I think some stores will survive because they're in better financial shape, but others will close down permanently. You're right, this is going to have a huge negative impact on the FLGS across the country. It's going to hit some publishers pretty hard too. Most of them have a better chance at...

    TSR TSR’s Brian Blume Has Passed

    Sorry to hear of his passing. I have been privileged to enjoy playing D&D and its offshoots for decades thanks to him and others in the early days.

    Game Distributors Closing Down; RPG Publishers Affected

    Hopefully, the stores will qualify for the loan money from the government, but I don't know how that is going to work. One major fact remains, the industry is going to go through a major period of change. A stronger focus on digital publishing is going to be essential for the companies that pull...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder Beginner Box in November

    This is going to be an outstanding Christmas gift for a lot of future Pathfinder players. I am hoping our Org Play team develops a short PFS guide as a download to go with it.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Digital Plans To Be Revealed On February 21st

    Makes you wonder if they might not try another D&D MMO. I'm not sure they are earning any revenue from DDO at this point in its life cycle. Since that one is 3.5 based, a MMO based off the 5e rules might be feasible. The real problem with that is it takes a few years to build and launch a MMO...
