Call it however you want. WotC has always had a presence on these boards, because this is one of the best places to get the word out about their products. They get the word out by answering questions about the products (when NDA's will allow) not by planting people to act like Joe Schmoe who...

Why is that funny? Because it's patently absurd, maybe? Think about it. D&D is the biggest name in RPG's. They don't have to spew forth propoganda about a book to do well on it. They certainly aren't coming to websites and filling them with moles to sell their books. Even if they were, why...

LOL!!! That may just be the funniest thing I've read in a while!

Thanks. *Wayne's* story hour has got my gears turning as well. With Britian controlled by elves, it's not like I can just tweak history a little. Good stuff. Heap, thanks for that comic. Ideas flowing all over now! Edit: Forgot who posted the GURPS story hour. Are you going to post any...

Pretty much what I was thinking. As for the rights of non-humans, I was thinking most races would take the place of certain nations (but not really the history of those nations). For instance, Elves inhabit the isle of Britian. They once ruled over many of the other races, but have struck an...

Cool! I'll check it out Wayne.

I'm just happy I wasn't the only one that thought that!

Yep, and while I enjoy the system and the setting, I don't want a really dark and depressing feel and I want to use D20. There are a few ideas in there that I will likely use however. That reminds me. I need to pick up the new edition of Deadlands...

Heh. I counter with: if you old grognards would just enjoy buying toys again, then maybe we wouldn't see so much talk about rehashing! :D

This looks interesting. I doubt that it will come close to my favorite monster tome, but it does sound like it's going to be extremely useful. As for the statted NPC's, well if they are just re-hashes of minis game units, then that's not of much use to me. It won't keep me from picking up the...

I'm a big fan of westerns. Some of my favorite all-time movies are westerns from movies like Tombstone to The Sons of Katie Elder. I also like Sidewinder: recoiled. However, I haven't had much chance to use it yet as my group likes to play primarily fantasy games. I got to thinking about an...

Big time seconded. We need more aliens. Well, we need more well-fleshed out aliens. Sure there's the Ultimate ALien Anthology, but some of those aliens are pretty weak. Plus I'd like to see aliens that are less like anthropomorphic beasties and more alien. A modern-day horror (ala Buffy...

I use minis from just about every fantasy line out there. Most of my plastic figs are either Mageknight or DDM (rebased MK figures that is), with some Citadel plastic figs worked in as I get them painted. I also have a large collection of metal figs from Reaper (primarily), Citadel, WarCrow...

I own a boatload of monster books both print and pdf. A rough estimate of usage would be maybe 20% total. From the MM though, I've used 100% of them in some form from previous editions to now.

Seeing as how I've spent a small fortune on pdf's, my answer was yes.

hmmmm. I play on a wireless router, and while there is a little bit of lag, I'm still able to play CoH/CoV with no problems. I just haven't had the major lag issues that I lot of people seem to have had. :shrug:

You're likely right. However, if 4E does end up being a closed system, it won't matter much. I would expect many, if not most, of the 3rd party publishers to move to other venues or use the OGL to make their own games (ala GR with M&M), but I don't doubt that there will be a few that will...

I've grown to like the random minis. While, I'd like to be able to just buy a pack of whatever I need I enjoy the excitement of ripping into a new pack just to see what I've got. Plus, Reaper and other metal minis makers usually do a pretty good job of giving me options that either aren't...

The more I think about it, the better I feel about 4E. With 4E coming out, I can focus on M&M releases, minis, and well, just having more money. Plus, I'm sure that the PDF market for 3.5 will continue at least for a while, so it's not like I'd totally be without new 3E material.

I still enjoy D&D, put not as much as I used to. That likely has more to do with the fact that I don't have as much time to play as I used to than anything else.
