    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    Sure it does. A topic was started about the offer, I tossed in my 2 cents, you did as well. If you think I have some deep emotional attachment to what I've been saying, than I'm not sure what answer you're looking for. "Well, why are you?" is not an answer, sure, but you didn't answer that...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    Why do you? Why are you defending them? I'll answer for both of us, because this is a discussion forum, and it's a topic of discussion.

    Wii - Smash Bros. Brawl

    Myself, I do not have any of these game, so this is off the wall, but... Okay, so it's a fighting game. Let's assume fighting games are all similar in basics, different in specifics. Seems reasonable enough. So, the differences in control scheme are entirely based on preference, and a lot of...

    Multiplayer Gaming: What am I missing?

    That's my main problem with it really. People talk about yelling profanity or such, but heck, there's no tactical talk on the thing anyway, so why bother listening? I could see if it was "man, I can't hear our team planning over the kid singing", but it's not. It's just background noise. The...

    WotC: Goodbye, Loren Greenwood, hello Greg Leeds

    I think the main problem, and it's easy to see why given the site's purpose, is that people want "a gamer" in charge, which assumes an RPG gamer. Why would a MtG guy want an RPGer in charge? Why does Dreamscape need a D&D guru at the helm? I could see if the company was mostly/ all D&D, but...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    As I said, we're just talking past each other. I understand what you're saying, but you won't give me the same. The PHB in most cases never reachs WW, and there is no trade value, it's just a promotion requiring a PHB be tossed in the process. The difference is motive, attitude, presentation and...

    Exalted vs D&D. The battlelines are drawn!

    I think White Wolf has underestimated the binding on a real book. The pHB might be tough to yank. Not like my Exalted book where the cover feels like it's already coming off... :p Because it's the internet, and if this wasn't a topic of discussion, it'd be something else, so why the heck not! :)

    Exalted vs D&D. The battlelines are drawn!

    It'd be interesting to see what a print run is of Exalted, but no one will ever release numbers, so ah well. My book I got a month back from Buy.com doesn't say "first printing" or anything. Again, if they were saying "give us your 3.5 books" 6 months after 3.5 released, they'd be banking on...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    Nice & dismissive post. The simple fact is, WW is offering up a deal, and as a part of that deal they're requiring the destruction of a PHB. It's all a marketing ploy, and when folks offer their opinion on this marketing ploy as being in bad taste, somehow that's "nerd logic" and worthy of...

    Last Potter Picture to be adapted into two

    I think my problem is that they're picking the worst book to stretch out into two movies. WHen I read the book the first thing I thought of was all the padding was put there to cut it out for the movie... I can't imagine a movie of that padding. It may be that they need the extra time in order...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    Right, it's all about the perception and such. The PHB doesn't matter at all in the equation, so it's not a trade for WW. It's just a marketing ploy. Otherwise, I think we're talking past each other, and there's really no point. If you send it in to White Wolf, you pay shipping for the PHB...

    Exalted vs D&D. The battlelines are drawn!

    I think that's my main laugh about it, Exalted doesn't feel like D&D, and if someone is happy with 3.5 and angry about changing to 4e... well, Exalted is so different, I just don't see that. Many of us play lots of different games. The fact that I played Shadowrun doesn't mean I did it because...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    Again, from the consumer end, you're trading one book for another, on the business end, they're just giving away a book and requiring the destruction of another. It's two separate things. I think you're looking at it only from the one side. The Customer gives up a book he no longer wants, then...

    Wii - Smash Bros. Brawl

    Lots of folks have been having problems with the game not working in their Wii. Turns out this is the first game to use the double layer of the DVD and use DirectX9 or whatnot, and dust on the laser can interfere with it's ability to read/access. The solution is to send the system to Nintendo...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    Maybe not a month or two, given that the deal doesn't HAPPEN for two months. You don't get your exalted book until May. Also, it's telling I suppose that they didn't market this to ENWorld, but to RPGnet and such.

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    I think that's really the sticking point, since they mentioned destroying them rather than doing anything useful with them. It's not really much of a "trade", from the company side. I wonder if they really think Exalted 2 will be more of a stepping stone from 3.5 though, that seems an odd thing...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    So there's no way he can actually feel anything, right? Anything he says has no meaning except as his position dictates, so why reply to it with such a question? I don't play 1e or 2e, and won't. I find it perfectly reasonable to say you won't replay an older edition, just as I don't mind if...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    We're actually doing an Exalted game to fill the time between the end of last game and the release of 4e. The promotion, IMO, is a waste since it's telling me "get a book right now!" and then saying "In May". I don't think it's a trade either, it's just a marketing ploy to give out free books to...
