This. People need to remember it. And if you want the direction of that game to go in a different way, get active on its forums and suggest the way you want it to go.

First edition Mutants and Masterminds was an example of a rules light version of OGL. But then second edition came along with more rules crunch than the Hero system, ending that experiment. But True20 seems fairly rules light.

Stereotypes aside, of all recognized minority groups in Police departments, Lesbians are the most professionally successful, and Gays are the most unsuccessful. Reasons for this are open to speculation, that is just the statistic based on career success in terms of hiring, retention, and upward...

I've played almost only female characters since 1985. I've gamed with people who play only their own sex, only the other, flip a coin, don't write anything down until expressly asked, make it up to suit the individual character, and so on. Never had anyone express an issue over it other than...

Take two Viagra and call me in the morning. ;)

Amazon reviews work through a reader voting system. If you find a review useful, vote it up. If not, ignore it or vote it down (I forget if you can vote down, but I know you can vote up). Over time that gives a lot of credibility to its reviews, even the badly written ones. But it takes time...

Trademark violation is serious business. What are possible damages? In a provable case they could potentially add up to any and all profits ever made with the infringing product. Depending on varying degrees of intent and / or bad faith, additional damages could come in as well. One common...

Before you can craft anything you have to go right click on the herbs and loot cloth from your foes, then go to... oh wait... wrong game. Sometimes its hard to remember this isn't WoW. Well, I guess there's one thing MMOs have that 4E doesn't - crafting and non combat skills. How strange is...

I'm going to agree with kaisoku here. Its really not proper to be reviewing that book yet. Rather, get on pathfinder's website and hit them hard about everything you want addressed in the game before it gets finished. By opening it to an Alpha they are asking for it to be analyzed while it is...

Today I went out and bought the setting book for Pathfinder's setting. Tried to order the True20 Adept guide too, but the store says it doesn't exist. Keeping my options open.

I suspect that the split has split me off from my former gaming group, but time will tell.

DnD as you have always known it is now called Pathfinder. 4E is some other game that now has the branding, but the game you knew that has evolved since 1974 is now Pathfinder.

I always thought the 'F' stood for a four letter word of great notoriety, followed by -ing. :p

Better leaks as in, rather than leak the finished PDF near the end, put up lots of online whispers and rumors over the process, have people posting snippets in forums here and there... and then coming in the next hour and saying that info was not supposed to be posted, etc... More or less, the...

You can play a video game with the monitor turned off, but it wouldn't be wise. But while 4E may feel like a video game, it isn't one. So... You can play Warhammer without minis too. I suppose. Might be a tad hard to do, but in theory it is possible. To answer the key question, I prefer...

Heavily dependent on Pathfinder getting it -right- from the fan's POV, and others joining in with them rather than competing. One risk is that every single 3rd party house will put out its own 'Pathfinder' like version of 3.5, leaving fans with a thousand different games to choose from. At...

What happens when WotC puts out a splatbook later on and adds its own version of these things, then SRD's them? Are you then forced to pull your product from shelves and burn unsold stock?

This should get split into a separate thread... But... Keep in mind that in the old days it took less than 5 minutes to make a complete new PC. You could have your toon die on your turn, and by the time the table ran back around to you be ready with Ruin Explorer the 2nd, a new toon of a...

One thing I -am- looking for is a tool that has an easy ability to find other players and games. A very small tool that I have to bring my players to would not meet that need. I need a tool with an active community and a good 'looking for game / hosting game' tool.

Just a long-winded theory, but... :P RPG players -usually- are very bad at teamwork. Too many iconoclastic personalities. I suspect that 4E 'by the numbers' is a lot easier, if 'played right' - as in, played the way they assumed it would be played. Which is a style table top RPGers are, again...
