5 is my limit. Both my D&D and SW groups have 5 players. I've had requests to expand, but I've turned them down. 4 is preferable, though. More players means less focus on each player, which I'm not a fan of.

We seemed to get less unfortunate threads like this one when the boards were segregated. I have no problem with those that like to play that way, but I understand the frustration that leads to threads like these.

Rereading that, it is a tad confusing. :) Have an amalgamation board that pulls threads from all the other boards, the general board included, instead of using the general board for that purpose.

The real story is that Russ' phone never seems to drop below 90% charge. That's awesome! :)

Is it maybe possible to have the General board be it's own "sub board"? Then if someone likes everything all in one spot, they have a place, and those of us that don't want that have a less cluttered board.

3rd edition was Rokugan, right? Maybe FFG, the new rights holders to L5R, might work with WotC for a new version? Not that odd of an idea these days as it would have been in the past.

I wouldn't take that personally. It only takes a few rotten apples to make a place start to stink, despite all the nice, shiny ones. It would be tough to read anything here were that the case. :)

The MtG demographic is relatively young, so I can imagine there's more discussion for it on Reddit and other SM sites. My guess is this is the real reason for the boards shut down. Magic is 800-lb gorilla for WotC. If talk is going on elsewhere for it, why continue to expense a message board?

Files are one thing, but web pages never really die.

I've printed and laminated world/overland maps, and they cost in the $15-20 range. I can't imagine spending that for a few encounters. But I agree, it is a bonus to playing online.

Not sure why five are needed, but there is a one important one. The site has rules for posting, and they are quickly and strictly enforced. That is a big difference, and it shows.

That reminds me of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aIfarMPmPQ

Mike is a freelancer. WotC is not asking for anything. They are being cool about leaving the rights for distribution if the maps with the artist, though. I don't know for sure, of course, but I'd imagine Mike gets paid less per piece to retain these rights, and who can blame him for selling...

I was surprised when mine showed up last week after I got an email saying I was only getting a partial shipping (my Scott Lynch book, but not OotA) on my Indigo order.

Is it possible he made a mistake? If I knew for sure (which would be pretty tough for a player that hasn't memorized the MM), I'd bring it up, in case it is a mistake, but I wouldn't be argumentative about it. Like Tony says, the monsters don't have to follow the stat block in the MM by the...

I assume this exaggeration for effect? I can, and have, played Edge of the Empire with nothing but the core book and a couple sets of dice (far less than 50). It was a complete game and lot of fun. The game's scope is no more limited than playing Call of Cthulhu (investigators) or Pendragon...

Yeah, as I've previously stated, I'm not either. Not that I'm completely uninterested in the mixed content, as I actually visited other boards. (how difficult is that anyway?) On a similar note, I did like the "All D&D" amalgamation that used to have a link at the top of the forum. Is that no...

I let our sorcerer take Magic Initiate a second time, though I told her to pick a new class. Not sure why. On the spot gut call, though on further thought, I'm not sure why you couldn't pick spells from the same class.

Crap, does that mean 4e is now OOP? Will pdfs still be for sale from OBS? I'm kind of late to the game, as I've known about Rokugan for years, but didn't really check out L5R until recently due to reading abut AEG in Designers and Dragons and hearing about L5R being played on Happy Jacks...
