I wish they would, but some of their lack of transparency is due to being part of a publicly held corporation, so information is often kept close to the vest - whether that's a wise strategy or not (sometimes it's a legal issue).

Yeah, this feat won't make it into my game... Talk about a show-stopper. Yikes.

Ok, everyone - as a public service, I offer you this: Click here. You're welcome.

But this is where the OGL shines for Paizo. Frog God Games makes fantastic sandbox adventures for Pathfinder. The one I'm running now - Slumbering Tsar, may be the best sandbox adventure of all time. It's certainly the best I've run or played in.

I do certainly prefer the "no mocking" marketing this time around. They are much more inclusive.

OK - I hated 4E - but not THAT much...geez.

:) Cheers!

Mistwell?

Yep. However, D&D is shifting it's emphasis from the D&D RPG to the D&D brand, so there won't be as much pressure on direct RPG competition. Pathfinder, of course, is also expanding it's brand (MMO, card game), so the two companies will continue compete, but not necessarily as focused on the...

Since the ICV2 numbers are based on polling game stores, distributors, etc., it depends on if everything with the D&D name is lumped together (RPG, board games, card games, etc.). If it *is* all lumped together (even for the #1 RPG), then I expect D&D to remain #1 for a long while (presuming...

True. However, the entire discussion is rather pointless since we're talking about a 40-year old brand vs. a brand in its early stages whose company is *growing* that brand in a very careful and deliberate way. And, whatever they're doing has apparently worked as they vaulted to be the #1 RPG...

I would expect some Pathfinder/5E fan will do it for those who want it. There are some sharp folks out there who do fantastic conversions.

What D&D games are you referring to? As to your other point, are we still reflecting on D&D's popularity vs. Pathfinder in the 5E era or are we comparing Pathfinder to every RPG ever? Paizo must be doing something right or Pathfinder would not have been the #1 game for the last year. It's...

Yeah, I think you're right. I looked at one of the WizKids gargantuans I have and I think it is Gargantuan. However, next to the DDM gargantuans (like the black dragon), it will be smaller.

You do realize that Pathfinder is 5 years old, and D&D is 40, right? You also realize that D&D didn't have it's first video game until it was 14 years old, right? Seems like you just don't like Paizo/Pathfinder - which is fine, but don't compare apples and oranges and say oranges failed...

I already have DDM's huge "Aspects" of both Tiamat and Bahamut so if these are just "huge", I think I just saved myself $120.

Man, if WotC had handled the 4E rollout like they are doing with 5E, there'd have been a lot less angst in 2008. Finally, there's leadership that respects those that play (or heavily bought into) other editions. Kudos to WotC!

No - for two reasons. #1 - D&D PnP RPG staff has diminished significantly; and #2 - Mearls said so. :)

That could be, but if you want the heavier rules, you'd probably just play Pathfinder (or 3E or 4E).

Darn. I was hoping for Colossal size, not gargantuan. Also, with WizKids poor track record with these things, I sadly expect that those bases will separate from the dragons painfully often. (I have several Pathfinder minis like that where they've arrived in a broken condition.) I wish they...
