This is a really, really good point. Deciding to slash prices on dead stock isn't just about profit or cashflow--it's about PR. When word gets around the local gaming cliques that the FLGS just put all 3.5 books on discount, it will drive traffic to the store. And once customers are picking up...

"Complete Obsoleteness" is coming out in December, I heard.

The thing is, she's not saying that one act would have shifted his alignment. She's saying that if he were the person he would need to be in order to commit that act, then he would have been True Neutral all along and his paperwork would have only ended up on her desk by mistake. She would throw...

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0486.html I like the cameo by the cleric from the "Ultimate Cleric Showdown".

I have to disagree about the Topiary Guardians and Crawling Hands; I'm pretty sure they were created specifically so that people could recreate the scenes from The Shining or Evil Dead in their game. I mean, a flesh golem or a mummy isn't very original, either, but originality isn't the point...

My god, I want to play a character with this name. Axeaxe Flintflint, dwarven stutterer! Although it is still trumped by a character I once heard tell of, the dwarven eunuch warlock Duncan Nonuts.

It's not a raging fire, it's yellow magic. Dorukan's magic is yellow, so when Xykon uses his headband to cast that spell, it creates a yellow effect. Xykon's own magic is normally black. I have no idea what the spell does, though, but blocking it from scrying/sending/teleporting sounds about...

What if by "core" they mean "released into the SRD"? Every year, WOTC puts out a PHB, DMG, and MM that is released (minus product identity) into the SRD, along with 4-10 other supplements that are not. This allows WOTC to keep some of their material proprietary, while allowing third party...

What I love about this last post is how bluntly it gets to the real point: "If you understood what I was saying, you would agree with me. Since you do not agree, therefore you must not be able to even imagine what I'm talking about." Here's what you "seem unable to even imagine": That some of...

Huh. Well, I guess I'm even more screwed. As it stands, I am far more committed to my choice of computer platform than my choice of roleplaying game system. So unless more news comes out, I guess I'll be either continuing with 3.5, or switching to something else. I did always want to try a...

Well, gee, thanks, that solves all my problems. Seriously, your response amounts to, "Sucks to be you!". Yes, yes, I know that. But what now? I'm a WOTC customer who wants to support them, but I can't. I am not financially equipped to buy a PC right now AND pay the $120 a year subscription, so...

I posted this in a new thread, but was shepherded over here: Now, since I've already seen the responses here, let me add: 1.) I don't want a PC. I don't care how much better it will supposedly make my life, I have limited room in my apartment for a second computer set-up and even more limited...

A similar conversation to start, but one that has been entirely derailed into, "Then you should buy a PC, because Macs are dumb. Sucks to be you." I don't want a PC, I don't have room in my studio apartment for a second computer (much less the money to buy one), and I don't have an Intel-based...

DnD Insider* (*Not available on Macintosh) So, according to the news on the front page regarding the 4E Q&A seminar, when asked point blank about what platforms would be able to access the DnD Insider content, the panel members responded, "Starting with PC, because there are more." Sadly, this...

Yesterday, my answer would have been "Yes". But the front page news regarding the Q&A indicates that the online component will be PC-only. I only own a Mac, and I only use a Mac at work. Therefore, I literally cannot subscribe to DnD Insider. Or rather, I could, if I don't mind getting only a...

What NEEDS to be done and what IS done are not necessarily the same thing. If Hasbro thinks it can make MORE money by selling the D&D brand to someone than WOTC is bringing in, then they might go to WOTC and say, "Hey, you better triple your profits next year or you're all out of a job." Then...

What I'd like to see is that every monster in the book is created with the assumption that someone, somewhere, will want to play one as a PC. Make each monster type like a class that gains a special ability every level, and then just build the monsters from a giant menu of special abilities that...

Nope. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=204255

(EDIT: Never mind, no need to belabor the point.) At any rate, if memory serves, my black box Basic D&D "Master" set (coincidentally ALSO released in 1984) went up to level 36, so I don't see how 30 levels is some sort of new-fangled heresy.

Yeah, I was thinking this. Now* might be the time to finally unveil Rich Burlew's setting and publish it; he's a big enough quasi-celebrity in the industry that it would actually increase sales of the book to have his name on the cover. * By "now" I mean, "Sometime during 4th Edition's first 3...
