    WotC's Annual Xmas Layoffs

    So they can use poor sales as a reason to lay off more of them? Did you not read my post?

    WotC's Annual Xmas Layoffs

    Actually, I just had the thought that Hasbro CAN'T let Cook take it back to something like v3.5, so they'll have to do something new and different. Which makes me fear something like a Monte Cook's World of Darkness for D&D, which will be as far removed from D&D as that book was from the World...

    WotC's Annual Xmas Layoffs

    I firmly believe that Cook was brought back just to make a last ditch attempt to regain ground in the edition wars, by taking 5th Edition back to the rules-laywer mess that was v3.5. If they do that, I will not be buying it, and I will do my fantasy games with Savage Worlds and BRP. I also...

    Then I assume the spam posts are gone already, cause I don't see them. Ok.

    Top 5 Sales - Q3 2011 Analysis

    I'm glad to see Shadowrun in the top 5. I love that game. Now if I could just find people to play it with.

    Review: Pathfinder Beginner Box

    Yeah, I tried to give them evidence that they were wrong on the date, and so they decided thy were, but rather than move it up, they pushed it back from Novemeber 8th to November 15th. I decided to cancel the pre-order (having cash flow issues now anyway) and stick it in my wish list to keep...

    D&D 4E I have Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan 4e

    I noticed at the end that they are hinting at a 4e revision of Isle of Dread. Weather for a DM reward or the general consumer, I don't know. Hopefully, the consumer, because that is too cool an iconic adventure to be limited to DM Rewards and eBay prices...

    Review: Pathfinder Beginner Box

    Pathfinder is about a steep a learning curve as D&D v3.5 was, as it is in essence the same system with some really good fan-input house rules. The problem is, v3.5 was pretty hard to learn the basics of running... This does seem to bridge the gap (and also gives people ideas of what rules they...

    NEWS: Pathfinder Beginner Box -- UNBOXED

    I so, so agree. One issue I really have with level based games over more organic character creation (White Wolf, Savage Worlds, Shadowrun) is that they sell you levels that many gamers never see. I have had ONE game go to level 10 (d20 Modern), and one to level 9 (Saga Star Wars). All my other...

    Spells you want them to bring back

    You know... sometimes I think the internet has no sense of humor. I know that about Prestidigitation. But it's a joke about needing emergency pants after a fight with... oh never mind. I'm gonna go drink.

    Heard a ridiculous thing at encounters tonight

    No. I am pretty sure that I have the misfortune of running at the very worst store for RPGs in Michigan. If you want Magic or Clix, though, THOSE HE CAN GET YA! Just don't order a book. Apparently, paper is only for cards.

    Spells you want them to bring back

    You know what I miss? Bleach. Level 0 (or 1, depending on game edtion) spell that turns the item WHITE. That's it. Just makes it pure, clean, WHITE. So handy a spell to use after the fight with the dragon ON MY LOIN-SHORTS!

    Heard a ridiculous thing at encounters tonight

    I wish I had to work to figure out how to deal with that many... my STUPID store only seems to draw 4 if I drag some in by their arm...

    Getting tired of hearing "Grognard" and "Nostalgia"

    EN World Rules on this are clear: if you have a question about or wish to talk about individual acts of moderation, please take it out of the thread, as I asked you to above. Thank you. ~Umbran

    Getting tired of hearing "Grognard" and "Nostalgia"

    It's not your fault. ForeverSlayer used to follow to my threads at WotC and do her/her/it's damned to get those locked too. And can do it here too I see. It's getting to the point where I think I will only discuss my hobby with people at the table, cause when they act STPUID then I can hit...

    Time for the Character Builder to be free?

    You know, ForeverSlayer was the FIRST person here I put on my ignore list. Was on the (very long) list I had at the WotC forums before I began the war to delete my account. You know what I learned here? On ignore, they don't even get a placeholder. You are not even aware they posted unless...

    Time for the Character Builder to be free?

    While not what I was originally thinking, this would be an option that worked for both sides of the fence, and would work for me. My point is, all the Pathfinder freaks are going on about 'Pathfinder is selling more books' completely ignoring the DDI side of it, but they ARE right, in that D&D...

    Time for the Character Builder to be free?

    Actually, I think the character builder should be free. It's designed to get players into the game, right? Make it free. However, it only makes you a character sheet. No power cards. No explanations of each feat. It just does the math for your feats, class features, and what you have equipped...

    Should D&D (or any other RPG) actually attempt to be "All Things to All People"?

    I think it did. Look at the number of d20 games that were out there, and the number of Genres they covered. Some worked okay while others were pretty good actually (I think d20 Modern worked better than regular D&D cause the game breaking magic was out), and others were a travesty (the d20...
