Thornwatch looks neat, but I think it leads to a bigger point. When the Penny Arcade guys basically started evangelizing D&D to their audience, it was the best thing to happen to D&D in a very long time. It was finally a break from the "older cousin" model. It was a genuine in-road to a group...

The worst idea is continuing to say nothing at all. Every dollar I just spent at DriveThruRPG's "Christmas in July" sale is a dollar WotC didn't get because they never gave me a reason to wait.

I haven't bought physical books in quite a while and this price won't do much to change that. I'm more interested to see what the pdf versions or whatever D&D Insider will become cost.

If Morrus' assumptions are correct, I need to escape from the Land of the Broke quickly.

I can understand wanting to scale back, since there's really nothing new to sell in D&D. But you'd think they'd still want to do something with the board games or classic reprints. Or maybe a big push with Magic, since that's where most of the money seems to be made.

The value is still a valid question. If we could prove the adventurers were the proximate cause of loss, we'd almost surely make a subrogation claim against the adventurer (or adventuring company). The other thing to consider is "with the farmer's permission." Just about any...

It's all actually a plot to drive rpg sales. The more they mess with the core franchise products like the movies, the more disgusted you get. Eventually you'll start buying the rpg materials so you can "do Star Wars the right way". Sure, it's evil. But it's pure genius. ;)

Endemic isn't my issue. That is. You may not experience it. You may not be offended that nearly every sit-com dad after Bill Cosby has been an oafish, idiot white guy. You may not be offended that guys who look like me are always bad guys or idiots on pro-wrestling shows. Maybe I'd like to...

Being a white guy isn't always what it's cracked up to be. Once upon a time, I was told my hiring for a previous employer was delayed by six months because someone higher up the food chain couldn't understand why I'd want to do "women's work". When I was in a room with thirty women at another...

I'm not going after anyone. You were just the most recent person to say something like that. I'm just a little surprised at the general attitude that a book that doesn't exist yet simply must be awful. Okay, let's get a first impression from their website. So far, I'm not seeing...

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm accustomed to someone producing a product before I boycott it. Lets think, just for a moment, that maybe the folks at FableStreams true to their word. Maybe, just maybe, they really are after Felicia Day and Sarah Darkmagic, rather than Kim Kardashian and Paris...

For collections/collectibles, the most likely scenarios are: --A settlement based on prior appraisals --A flat dollar amount, usually listed in your policy --An exclusion for anything that wasn't specifically listed Another thing that will complicate this is there's usually a reduced limit...

I'm glad nobody was hurt. I've got too many books myself and this as always been the nightmare scenario for me. Now, to be the wet blanket... It varies state-to-state and company-to-company, but generally speaking, you need to have specific coverage for collectibles of any sort. This usually...

The thing is, those same business pressures that force a new edition are going to exist regardless of the business formation. One guy as a private sole proprietor needs to be able to make money to stay in business, just like an LLC or a partnership or a corporation. A non-profit has similar...

I think the thing that upsets me the most about this is the response the FableStream folks have gotten here. They obviously saw Morrus' original comments and those that followed here. After that, they willingly chose to walk into the lion's den and plead their case. Some of the responses...

Just imagine if someone had forgotten to pay the storage bill and the whole lot ended up on one of those Storage Wars type shows.

It'd be kind of cool if they did some kind of charity auction with it. Or maybe for that Gygax memorial.

We used MapTool for our 4e game with none of the bells and whistles and did just fine. Tabletop Forge looks very appealing, I just can't figure out how to make it work.

When your regular game group is half a dozen people with jobs, and spouses, and kids, spread across four states, no online play does present a certain unique hurdle. Does agreeing to that impact my life in some negative way? No. Does it impact my ability to playtest the rules and provide the...

Modularity I've seen a lot of discussion the last few days that boils down to "I hate rule X and they need to fix that." Hit dice have gotten a lot of that attention, along with advantage, saving throws, and others as well. What's getting lost here is one of the core design goals has been the...
