    Goodman Games to publish a 4e print magazine under the GSL

    Hmm I wasn't interested in Death Dealer before... I think I might be sold now though. That's sounds interesting.

    Virtual Tabletop help

    It's actually MapTool not MapTools if you go to look for it, but you won't have to because here's a link to the site: RPTools - Home I'm using MapTool and InitiativeTool at the game table (and both with TokenTool during prep) and I'm very happy with it. There are some issues but they can be...

    Goodman Games to publish a 4e print magazine under the GSL

    I hope there are ads. I miss the ads from Dragon. It's one of the few places where there are ads targeted at *me* not random placements, or a wild guess as to something I'll be interested in. As long as the content is at least decent I'll be subscribing (please don't be foolish and not allow a...

    Forked Thread: Preview: The Shaman, the first broken class.

    In an ideal world yes, but that's not what's going happen here, or more accurately that's not what is happening here. These previews are for what's coming whether we like it or not. Player's Handbook II is at the printer already (or already printed) if the pattern of the other releases is still...

    How much money do plan on purchasing 4E/GSL products this year?

    I wasn't going to say anything but you don't see that behavior on the 3E version of the thread. The people that say $0 seem to be pointing out that they have what they need from 3E not saying "I refuse to play 3E anymore". It's a little sad.

    How much money do plan on purchasing 4E/GSL products this year?

    I haven't done an official tally but I allow $200 a month on hobby stuff. Right now that is probably 25-50% of that on 4e/GSL stuff: - Every official 4e book, module, etc. - Every Goodman Games module (are these actually GSL yet, some of them still don't seem to be) - Most GG splats - Wraith...

    Is DDI going to be retro?

    I'm pretty sure I gave my reasons in the post above. I'll just refer you to those. Cancellation isn't the only issue, however, as long as you cannot manage your cancellation yourself via an account page there are issues to resolve. There is absolutely no excuse for the process in place now...

    Is DDI going to be retro?

    My personal reasons are: - The horrible customer service that comes along with the subscription. Particularly in regards to cancellation. - The fact that we don't know that the "web content" price will stay around. - We don't know how back issues will work at all. All of the ideas that are...

    Is DDI going to be retro?

    No matter what's been said in the past or present by WotC I honestly don't think they really know what's going to happen at this point. Plans have changed so much and portions of the system are half implemented (with regards to various plans) that they're digging a hole that they'll likely find...

    Mapping Shadowfell: Adventures in 3D Terrain Building

    I started a blog to track my progress modeling the last room of KotS here: http://3d-rift.blogspot.com/ Like I said before, I'm most likely only doing that one room due to time constraints ;)

    Goodman is clearly going to the GSL.

    It doesn't work like that, Goodman would be required to ahere to the mose recent version. The stuff coming out in August simply cannot be under the GSL. Well, unless Goodman knew that WotC was going to change that restriction prior to the August release date, but that seems like a stretch...

    Goodman is clearly going to the GSL.

    Certainly, but at that point it's no longer the GSL, it's a separate agreement between Goodman and WotC. Once you relax the one restriction it's no longer the same contract. It sounds like nit picking but it's not. It could be the case that it's a special agreement that is identical to the GSL...

    Goodman is clearly going to the GSL.

    If they have permission it's no longer the GSL. It's a separate licensing agreement.

    Death of the LGS

    Edit: Nevermind, those that misuse the term will defend it to the end ... it's not worth my time. Have a nice day.

    Death of the LGS

    No. The term originates from the logical fallacy. Nor is your parenthezied description in "1" quite correct either, though it's close. Number "2" is the colloquial usage originating from people hearing the correct version used and misunderstanding it due to the word "beg". It's not fairly...

    Death of the LGS

    Amazon has set themselves up as the middleman. It's easier than selling directly and if it makes sense down the road they can always start selling directly as well. From Amazon's standpoint the marketplace is a gold mine, they're getting sales data on a huge number of markets, data that can be...

    Goodman is clearly going to the GSL.

    I wouldn't think so either, but I wanted to be thorough :) It's certainly possible that WotC offered GG a temporary license to get them to October 1st. I'd say that was unlikely too, but Goodman may have really wanted to have product at Gencon so went to Wotc and worked something out. With the...

    Goodman is clearly going to the GSL.

    Goodman is not going with the GSL for the products they're releasing in August, it's simply not possible. Under the GSL you can't release until Oct 1. They've either: a) Brokered a separate licensing agreement with WotC. In which case the selling off of 3e properties could still be part of...

    Treasure of Talon Pass worth paying $60 for on eBay?

    I'm not sure they'll get it posted in a timely fashion even after the month is up judging from the way the web stuff is run at WotC but it is supposed to be posted. A lot of the contributions from other companies is already up. I wouldn't pay $60 for it, though if you absolutely must have the...

    Mapping Shadowfell: Adventures in 3D Terrain Building

    I posted on your site as well, but saying it again here: great job. I don't have the time to do all of the exterior locations, but as soon as I saw the last room of the keep I decided to make a 3D version. Should make for a good climax for the group when I pull out the full 3D dungeon. I've...
