You know, I only remember two pieces of 2e-bashing in the marketing. "What the heck is a 'baatezu', anyway?", out of context, and "Back to the Dungeon", in context. I mean, out of context, the first line sounds like it's insulting baatezu in the same way 4e designers talked about aasimar, but...

Did Paizo ever actually advertise its grapple rules? I have to ask this because I never actually saw any of the ad copy for Pathfinder because I didn't care. If not, then who cares? With certain exceptions (countless White Wolf products, The Window, the 4e PHB on Evil characters, etc.), games...

Tmesus is a terrible name, and it's not the one in Kingdom of the Ghouls, to boot.

Well, it's certainly possible, I'll admit! I'd still be a little surprised, because I remember my anger being based on a false statement rather than an accusation that I wasn't having fun, but still. I don't play WHFRP, but there's a fairly decent chance of this from what I understand. Or at...

See, I kept finding that one, but I'm sure that one wasn't it because I remember being really, really pissed at one when it came out, and that one sticks to facts and actually provides what 4e does. That one sure isn't offensive, though, and accurately lays out the differences. (I mean, it...

The only example of that which I really remember is one about treasure parcels which was basically completely full of nonsense. Sadly, I forget what the nonsense was, but I felt they were actively lying about the faults of 3e. (I seem to recall it was something about slimes not dropping...

This is true. But the other important issue is that no one* actually cares whether it's a good adaptation of the magic in the Dying Earth books specifically or not, since for better or for worse that's become the accepted term for the rules of Wizard spellcasting in all pre-4e D&D editions...

I imagine that for a lot of us, "D&D" always meant "whichever of 2e or the Rules Cyclopedia the group owned, plus whatever other books people had", to the point where a lot of people who I know played older editions when they were younger couldn't have actually told me what edition they were...

Weird science inventions let you make an invention that duplicates the effect of any spell or spells, and you can have X many spells in inventions at any time. For instance, at level 9, you can have 4 level 1 spells, 3 level 2 spells, and 2 level 3 spells extant at any one time. This can be 9...

It's the ":(" smiley, and GOODBYE FOREVER is sad, so...

(This might be better served on the Paizo forums, but honestly I don't really like them and don't have an account.) So, I really like the Tome of Secrets Artificer, except for how its main ability, the weird science inventions, works. (Or, uh, apparently doesn't.) While you're certainly...

It's fine as long as you're not looking up the basic details of your own abilities. If you are, you get to write all your spell effects down on your sheet, because I will quite rapidly get tired of "I cast Hail of Stone!" "OK, and that does..." "Um... lemme look it up..." happening in my game...

You know, obviously this was just a snarky response, but I find it sort of telling that you're basically accusing someone of being a Filipino because he's dumb. I mean, I used to chat with said kid from the Philippines who's being sued by WotC now on basically a daily basis and he fits...

dude, just like... stop reading this thread. there's not going to be any more information on the case for another month or three because the legal system doesn't move that fast, so when you see it again in december after it's fallen off the front page for a month and a half it'll have new stuff...

The law and morality are not always in perfect alignment. But we've probably gone a bit off-topic here.

This is actually my biggest problem with the 4e FR Campaign Guide. It seemed absolutely devoted to that idea, to the point where I think maybe two countries even acknowledged the idea that other countries existed. In other words, they swung from describing a world to describing a bunch of...

Seriously, as much as I don't think people should go around announcing that they are a pirate in public, I believe he actually did the right and proper thing here, despite it being illegal. That doesn't mean they'd have bought it. I watch fansubs of anime and value essentially all anime that I...

The new watermark was implemented in December 2008. The old one contained an invisible component as well. I would categorize this as "a successful sting operation" far more than "oh those dumbasses thinking it was that easy." Look, it's at the very least not polite to declare on a message...

Last time I asked, which was a month or so ago, he still doesn't really seem to care about it. Which just about fits what the legal document you just posted says, so...

I put down two things: Release fifth edition, because almost every series eventually ends up with one lousy game, and it's no reason to pronounce damnatio memoriae on the series. Just don't play the game you hate. (See: Final Fantasy 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 4, probably many others that...
