Because time machines don’t exist, so none of them have free PDFs anymore. You might be able to get free PDFs of upcoming accessories and expansions, but not existing books.

So... supernatural gifts. Looks like they might be equal to a feat. So Theros characters might embrace the long term house rule of starting with a feat. Or other supernatural gift roughly equal to a feat... That makes them easier to balance at least...

They haven't done layoffs, no. But in 2016 through 2018 they shed a lot of staff that all chose to leave, both publicly and quietly, and often in small batches. And many were not replaced, as the teams shrank. Even at the time I commented that Paizo was encouraging people to move on amicably...

That is very true. I don't want to de-platform someone and I really believe in second chances and forgiveness after making mistakes. And as a librarian, I believe in freedom to read and not censoring opposing viewpoints. But this isn't an opposing view but a behaviour. And I also believe...

I can't imagine there's two people with that name in gaming who'd be able to score a freelance gig at WotC...

For reference, looking through the ICv2 Charts, the top games reported over the last couple years are: D&D: No PDFs. Digital copies sold on an app/website for $20, or $30 for compendium and a character builder Pathfinder: $15 PDFs sold separately on their proprietary website (unless you're a...

Ugg... looking through the credits [REDACTED] is involved. I'd hoped they'd left the industry for good. I'm a left leaning person and agree with 99.95% of their views and politics but have had nothing but negative interactions with them online. They're a really ugly, negative person that...

Kitty people!

Exactly. Something (a PDF) for nothing (a price you paid for something else). Yes, other companies give free PDFs. But by that logic, since I get a toy free with my Happy Meal at McDonalds therefore I should get a free toy at every restaurant I go to. Free PDFs are by no means an industry...

Well, you are literally asking for something for nothing... Nope. Because by playing the game you are advertising the game and encouraging others to play or buy the books. And you still need dice, which supports the industry.

Well, since you don't want to support any evil crypto-fascist corporations making money you'll want to stay away from the D&D forum. Since there's literally no way to be a "D&D fan" without buying the books and thus supporting the business of Wizards of the Coast. Or being a hypocrite by giving...

WotC makes all kinds of bad moves and silly decisions. But they're not automatically evil because they're a gasp business. WotC is company staffed by people. Awesome people. People gamers now know by name and has spent a long decade trying to work with the gaming community and build a positive...

It's also a moot point, and has been for four years and eight months, since the time to find a way to give free PDFs with purchase was August 2014. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't help the people who already purchased the PHB. So if they introduce PDFs now, it's another $20-$40 expense...

Mistwell has been hanging around ENWorld since 2002. I guarantee he knows this stuff as well as you. Funny thing... right after that Trapdoor went and partnered with Paizo. This really implies the guys at Trapdoor really know how to make a pitch and sell people. Conmen who over-promise and...

Also a factor in the whole "why do we have to buy the book twice?!" complaint, who didn't hesitate to buy the PHB as second time because it had a fancy cover? Shouldn't this be even more outrageous and cause even more threads, as it's the exact same thing and doesn't give you access on a...

I can see a Gamma World style system where light weapons do 1d6, heavier weapons do 1d8, and big weapons do 1d10, with the different types flavoured accordingly. It's fine in theory to say "it was the characters inherent attributes and ‘skill’ that determined combat effectiveness not damage...

Adding hatching as a textured outer glow or bevelling doesn't seem too hard. So less of a "brush" and more a layer with specific properties.

Looking at the numbers above with what we saw last time: Fantasy Grounds Top RPGs (Last 12 Months) The numbers look completely different. Did they change how they tracked games played?

It’s almost like the people arguing about those points on forums are a minority and non-representative of gamers as a whole. Also, free PDFs only applies to subscribers. You need to buy separately otherwise, so you might as well get it off Amazon.
