That's essentially (no pun intended) what WotC did with 4E. It didn't work out very well for them.

The pie may grow a little, but it's not going to grow enough unless something is done about the supply side. Too much good content already available, and more coming every day.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, Jim Lowder. When I win Powerball and start my own RPG company (so I can afford to spend $2 million to make $1 million), I'm hiring you to change the industry. :) On a more practical note, Owen mentioned he wished he had solutions. Do you see any way to...

Good point. :) But then that's the rub of gaming, right? It's all emotional, and passion + unhappiness (sometimes) leads to acting poorly. Also, there is such a glut of product because everyone wants to make their own game products, and, now they can. Great talent can be overlooked and its...

So - ballpark, what's the best a full time pen-and-paper RPG designer (not a developer/publisher/owner) salary would look like from a major publishing company? And if you can share that, what about for a full time artist (as rare as that may be)? And how does that compare to a like-person in...

I have tons of things I'll never run but enjoy reading. Sometimes it's the only way a GM gets to go on an adventure themselves. :) (And, good to see you, Scott. :) )

Please don't put food on your children.

I think (as the article indicates) that pirating of content is the #1 cause/reason why it sucks to be in the industry. (Today)

It's like the old joke: Want to make a million in RPGs? Start with $2 million. Thanks for posting that, Morrus.

Why was Suleiman removed from the project?

Which one wasn't fulfilled?

Well, you do get the PDF as well. I like having both print + pdf. I agree, though, that if all I wanted was the printed copy, it's probably not going to be the best deal.

Agreed. Only one missing is James Jacobs who can write some really, really good stuff in this arena too.

One of my absolute favorites from the 3.5 3PPs. Full color too.... Nice.

That presumes a January release and last product in December end. Often the releases of the new editions have been in the summer/at Gen Con.

Minor tweak - the last 3.5 Product was Eberron's "City of Stormreach" printed in February 2008.

I mean, it's only been 4.5 months since that post on 12/31, and I hardly would expect a monthly update. That said, however, if (in person) Gen Con gets canceled (which I think is likely), we won't have a visual barometer for the game for a while. Also, the Advanced Player's Guide for PF2 is a...

My recall is fuzzy, but I was under the impression that Goblinworks (I think that's the name of the company) was run by Dancey and there was some drama between Goblinworks and Paizo when the thing collapsed.

IIRC, PF Online was managed by a different company.
