Who? Okay, mistakes were made. WotC dun goofed when they has notorious trolls and asshats Zak S and the RPG Pundit involved in testing the game. That was a failure of researching people and doing background checks. But after the community pointed out they were asshats, WotC didn't work with...

Ugh. I was there until the laugh. We don’t need Palpatine back. He adds nothing. His story is over. This is going to be more Abrams nostalgia-as-a-crutch BS... I’m still going to see this in theaters, but it will be on week three. Unless I get busy, then I might wait to PPV.

I'm still loving this show. It's nice to have a show unafraid to do a big two-part event story that adds a dangerous new foes and shakes the accepted status quo. And also smaller shows focusing on the personal lives of the crew. Because when everything's a crisis, when the stakes are always...

Funny thing, he DID apologize. To one of the affected people. In person. And had a long conversation. We just didn’t see it because it was a personal apology to the person called out and affected and not some boilerplate public show apology.

That tracks with several of Bulhman’s interviews on Know Direction. They favoured backwards compatibility whenever possible. The Pathfinder RPG wasn’t published so much to “fix” the rules as provide an in-print game system for their adventures. The APs were initially the priority. (But that...

This may be true now. When 5E launched and WotC has its slow release schedule, there was lots of room. And companies like Green Ronin and Kobold Press have been quick to fill the gaps. But the window might be closing.

Yeah, I wrote that summary on the playtest and then just walked away from the process, not really paying attention. Because they went pretty much in the opposite direction I wanted... Resonance was mostly to stop people dropping 750gp every adventure for a wand of cure light wounds that is...

I briefly included my thoughts in my preview of PF2: http://www.5mwd.com/archives/4964 Quoting that: Before I started reading the Pathfinder 2 rulebook, I thought about what I wanted the game to do. I mentally laid out my “deal breaking” problems that I would want addressed, which I listed at...

Thanks. I can't find an ICv2 breakdown of the RPG market at that time (2012). The best I can locate are 2013, 2014 and 2015: https://icv2.com/articles/games/view/29326/hobby-games-market-hits-700m https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/32102/hobby-games-market-climbs-880-million...

True. But.... if enough of the fans want something, then that's probably something the companies should make. That the question of conversion comes up even on non-Paizo focused forums every six months should be a gauge of interest. Right. That is true. But.... I'm arguing that the investment...

That's nice.How is my armchair management wrong? If it's wrong then how about actually pointing out the error rather than resulting to an ad hominem comment?

That didn't feel like a mildly amusing poke. That felt like I was being baited.

But don't take my word for it. Let's actually look at the numbers. Someone was converting Rise of the Runelords to 5e: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kloyX_I_8wP9WGzwzKj-tJMh-TfyGcotrIu7xuHUjF8/edit#heading=h.zdv649y4xlskThe wordcounts are 8500 and 5000 for parts 1 and 2. Now that book...

So instead of actually responding to my question and offering a counterargument, you just have condescending and insulting sarcasm? C'mon Morrus, you're better than that.Yeah, I'm not a business genius. Yeah, they probably have a lot more experience than me. But that doesn't mean I'm wrong or...

Haven’t seen the episode but seen pictures. And that bridge is amazing. That’s how you do an update of TOS. It’s sleek and modern and looks high tech, but retains the aesthetic and general layout. And by retaining the pallet and genteral presentation, it’s instantly identifiable. Which is...

I just pulled a number from my head as an example. $5 per book or $20 for everything sounds reasonable... What they could do is task people to update the APs and then compile the monsters from those into a physical monster book after a few months of updates. The PF2 core rulebook is out the...

What? That sales of their Pathfinder Core Rulebook would suffer? I don't buy that. It seems like a stretch. That implies that people are buying and playing Pathfinder rather than 5e because they want to play Pathfinder adventures but find conversion too hard. Yeah... Nope. Just running...

I have immense respect for them both as well. I can't even count the number of "Auntie Lisa Story Hour"s I've listened to. But you read the forums here. How many people have been GAGGING for more short adventures. A huge campaign setting book. Content not set in the Realms. More crunch options...

No. I’m saying they should have done limited products to take advantage of D&D having it’s best year ever (for the third year in a row) to cheaply produce some high interest books to sustain the development of their new edition and grow the audience of their Adventure Paths and campaign setting...

They're also human, and humans do silly things.Thirteen years ago, WotC almost killed their business by taking away Dragon magazine. They barely recovered but a year later WotC hit them again by announcing 4e. Then WotC cut them out of the loop by not showing them the game they were working on...
