I only elaborated as to why, because Hussar asked. I didn't and don't want to turn this thread into a simulationism versus gamism debate. Unlike you, I do like simulationist aspects in my D&D, so you "nor should D&D be a simulation game", is a value judgment on your part worded as if it were an...

Just to elaborate on the above... I voted that I would only buy 4E if it were at least somewhat open (though of course I would not necessarily buy it even then).

Because I dislike many aspects of 4e. Firstly, there is the issue of the rules. I feel that simulationism (and I like me my simulationism) has been trampled over - basically, the designers paid no attention to it whatsoever and whatever simulationism is present in the rules is there not by...

I will not buy 4e unless it is open, though I am not sure about what degree of openness would be sufficient a d20-like license would do the trick. If it is open then I don't know whether I will buy it or not. That said, I do think it will be open, so I am still undecided on 4e.

I doubt that. There has been no indication that WotC has changed its plans on the GSL. There has been a delay, yes, but so far I would be hesitant to speculate about cancellation.

I didn't even know that. I sincerely doubt it was.

Yes, I don't think Dungeon and Dragon were OGL.

It is ironic, that even though I made the poll, I did not include an option, which captures my position effectively.

Yes, you have really nailed it with this one. I am definitely sticking with the new rule and never planning to go back. I think the key is that not only is the mechanic relatively simple and consistent with how powers work in the d20 system (I would say more consistent than the previous Turn...

I would not worry. Whatever the new name of the power, it could still be referred to as Turning/Rebuking undead as one of its uses. It's just that it now has other uses too, such as healing... E.g. Channel Positive Energy This power has several effects. It heals living creatures.... and it...

It seems nice, but only playtesting would reveal whether it is balanced. I think PFRGP will not ultimately have a swashbuckler class, since I doubt it is open content, so you will probably have to stick with your own class indefinitely anyway.

One minor change to the excellent new turning mechanics, could be to require a fortitude saving throw instead of the will save to avoid the damage. I think that makes more sense, but on the other hand would probably necessitate another will save to forestall the fleeing, so I guess we might want...

What do you guys and gals thing about the Pathfinder version of Turn Undead? Personally, I adore it and have already implemented it in a game I run. So far, everybody is happy with it. At this point, though, perhaps a name change would be in order. We could call the ability something like...

This is a good point.

Is that a criticism or a compliment? ;)

I have made a poll on the issue of purchasing behavior with respect to 4E and whether it is open or closed. You can find it here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=4138993&posted=1#post4138993

Just to elaborate a little: I don't personally think that 4E is going to be closed, so it is a bit of a hypothetical question on my part. There are some people, however, who do believe that, mostly on the basis of the second to last post on the fifth page of this thread...

There has been some recent speculation on whether 4E will in fact be open and if there will be a GSL. I am wondering whether this would affect your purchasing decisions regarding 4E. So... would you buy 4E if it were not open/had no licenses for 3rd party companies or fans? Please vote on the...

The majority, though not all, of my players are also under 25. What's more, some of these people are new to the game. Just last month, I have introduced two new players (19 and 20 years old) to the game. True, they are not buyers and use my books, so WotC does not yet profit from them, but who...
