I'm still annoyed that they've done this without providing a generator of their own. Really though, I don't even want a generator. I want more illustrative tools for stat generation. Having to dig through the prose in the PHB for certain things is error prone for me.

Don't forget the entertainment value of everyone trying to reason with him.

My first game of D&D ever was one of your Fivie games at Dundracon this year. Since then I've been to Endgame in Oakland every week to play and have been having a great time of it. Now you've seen it.

How often was D&D unprofitable for TSR? Companies tend to "Stay the course" when losing money on product that used to be profitable for a long time. Companies big and small lose money for years on end before they lose their good credit or have to shutter operations. Look at TRS, Radio Shack...

Here's a question. Do we even know if pathfinder is profitable? It certainly has revenue and value as a brand, but do we know if it makes a profit for paizo?

So you think they should change the rules (swap out feats) and not just add to them. Yes, that would be a new edition. I say that they shouldn't do a new edition. They should do a new printing that includes any added rules. If they're changing rules, that's an edition. If they're changing...

Actually that last statement seems very interesting to me. I think that for parts, the physical books is fairly intrinsic to the game - specifically the core books. I have a theory that WoTC is applying windowing to it's books in different ways depending on the book. I think that their...

Semantics between 6th ed and 5th ed 2nd printing. I would say that folding in online eratta does not make for a new edition. It does make for a new printing or a new revision. That all said, I hope that every printing includes some editorial tweaking.

Sweet. Going to read ahead of encounters on Wednesday.

I'm sure someone will come out with another different fantasy roleplaying game in the next 5 years or so. Maybe Paizo?

I'd like to see that here. http://www.citylab.com/work/2014/12/the-world-almost-had-a-13-month-calendar/383610/

I will do so.

Thank you! I was applying the dexterity modifier and I didn't have to.

I started playing a few weeks ago at a con, and have been working on a new character for a PoTA. As a tool for understanding character creation a little better, I started trying to recreate stats for the starter set character sheets...

$150 MSRP probably is part of it.

I could see reason in shifting from Print to PDF for Tyranny of Dragons more than I could for the Core Books. 6 Months in print then format shift for any adventures or any other non-core supplements?

It would be very interesting if they retired adventures after 6mos.

Why not just spin off some of the settings as other RPGs: Dark Sun: A D&D System RPG Eberron: A D&D System RPG Planescape: A D&D System RPG Ravenloft: A D&D System RPG Any additional books for these RPGs wouldn't even mention D&D on the cover. They'd each get their own logo, and could be each...

Changes due to errata shouldn't count. I guess crunch changes vs fluff changes?

I think you're right on the money here. Make it easy for the players. They only have to buy one book, and put that book front and center. Make it flexible for the DMs. Help the DMs stay in control.
