    Greg Tito Is UHURA!

    The fact that Wizards of the Coast would hire this person as their Communications Manager puts a black mark on the company.

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    What he really means is he wishes the D&D license was cheap with no expectations of quality like it was back when Interplay published D&D games.

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    My eye is on Beamdog. They already have the license to create two D&D games, at least one of them is a Baldur's Gate game, after the success of their enhanced versions of the Baldur's Gate series.

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    TSR licensed to anyone for anything at probably a very low price. That's how we ended up with the Dungeons & Dragons movies. It is only by luck that Interplay licensed the D&D games.

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    There hasn't been a whole lot of player-driven sandbox games to begin with. Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies, and EVE have all done well. Very few MMORPGs has done exceptionally well, whether it's sandbox or themepark. That said, Pathfinder Online is a rip-off. You had to not only spend a ton...

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    This is nonsense. You get almost every new release from Amazon at 40% discount. Amazon's discounts are solely done by an algorithm that is determined by the number of sales. The more sales, the higher the discount.

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    I am going to guess that it has nothing to do with licensing costs and everything to do with control. Though I am sure the cost to license it was very much a negative for Obsidian who has to Kickstart or get contracted to a publisher to produce a game. WotC probably wants control of the...

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    D&D is divided up into multiple properties. Neverwinter is held by Perfect World Entertainment. The Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale licenses are in the hands of Beamdog. Obsidian probably didn't have any experience with licensing any D&D property. The Neverwinter Nights license was held by...

    What does UbiSoft's sales figures have to do with Obsidian? They published a single game of theirs.

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    Obsidian seems to jump from one publisher and license to the next. They've probably burned a lot of bridges over the years. Every time they release a game that is incomplete, poorly thought out, or buggy, they always say it is the fault of someone else. You can only do that so many times before...

    D&D 5E (2014) The RPG or the Brand?

    They need to bring back Spellfire in some form. I got into it because it was D&D, I kept playing it because it was far superior to the competitor.

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    I hope someone at WotC will address this. Maybe they've changed the name. Adventurer's Handbook isn't the best name for something that only has elemental themed content.

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG - breaking bounded accuracy already?

    The game is specifically not balanced for magical items. If a DM adds magical items, it's up to him to cope if he breaks the system.
