WHATT??!! How dare you! GrrrIoughttapoundyouone!!!! ;)

I don't understand your comment here. Are you saying Lisa doesn't think an SRD should be free? She says in her quote above that she expects several Pathfinder wikis to spring up soon after launch, and she said nothing about trying to shut them down, ergo she does NOT in fact have a problem with...

That place used to be held by Web. Maybe it is again?

No, I can see why they would be upset, just like I can see why my 2 year old gets upset when I don't let him have a popcicle instead of vegetables. The brick and mortar stores wouldn't sell many of this book anyway. At $50 a pop, most people would get it from Amazon or some other online store...

I absolutely cannot understand how this news can generate ANY negative reaction. Anyone who sees this announcement and sees bad news has to be looking for a way to spin this negatively. $10 for a PDF will be a loss-leader for Paizo and will bring in more players than otherwise. Many if not most...

On first glance, I thought this thread was about "Legendary ELVIS Spoilers", like maybe where he's currently bagging groceries, or his comeback album or something.

I'm pretty sure gamers trying to get reasonable prices on GW stuff 15 years ago invented the online discount store model in the first place.

I read his post and I certainly didn't see it as a rebuttal of Mr Peterson at all. It was extremely interesting, but it did not address the schism of the fanbase or the health of 3PP (other than his own) at all. It seemed to be a refutation of the "4e is not doing well". He didn't address the...

Having not seen the final rules for the game, there is absolutely no way you can make this claim. Even if you could, my point is not invalidated in the slightest. I said specifically "more optimized".

I don't play 4th ed, but I still might pay money for new Scarred Lands material. Depends on the crunch (which is useless to me) to fluff ratio. I fact, I was pushing for "sytem neutral" Scarred Lands before people started using the term!

Having never (yet) been to Gen Con, I had forgotten that The Wizard's Amulet was there in print and not just as a free PDF afterwards. Likewise I had forgotten Clark's name on the CC. I was under the impression (recollection?) that they were user/fan submitted critters, like the spells and items...

Not to nit-pick, but I don't think Necromancer Games did either of these. The module was Green Ronin's Death in Freeport, and the Creature Collection was Sword & Sorcery Studios/White Wolf.

We don't know how split the fanbase is, and the only people that could give us a reasonable estimate (WotC) won't. It ain't 5%, and it ain't 50%, but it lies somewhere inbetween. But it's enough to generate a huge ammount of support for the Pathfinder line. Two years after the announcement of...

Exactly. Almost none, and the top 4 or 5 from 3rd ed aren't on that list (Necromancer Games, Green Ronin, Paizo, Sword & Sorcery/WW). The pendulum swung a bit too far in the other direction, if you are anyone but the WotC authors of the GSL, IMHO.

Or C) those that don't HAVE to in order to feed their families drop sideline hobby projects and focus on their money-making careers.

You mean, like that picture in the 1st ed PHB promised all those years ago? :D

What competition? The whole point is there is almost no 3pp anymore. Other than Goodman Games, how many 4th ed specific 3rd party PRINT material is out there? The Necro guys were some of the biggest cheerleaders for the new edition, until the GSL fiasco. Even now, they want to put out some...

See, the "retro" feel was a MAJOR appeal to me back in the early days of 3rd ed ("3rd ed rules, 1st ed feel!"). You can't target some groups without alientating some others. It's hardly fair to cite their direction in regards to the flavor of their products when A) that's what they like in their...

I always figured "only out for yourself" = Chaotic Neutral "Don't care which way the wind blows" = Neutral "Balance in every aspect of life" = True Neutral

The Lay On Hands is half paladin levels + Chr mod times per day, and "Turning Undead" ("Channeling Energy") costs two uses of Lay on Hands, so it's not completely with out drawbacks. The example character also has a feat to get extra uses of Lay on Hands. But it IS a lot better than before. As...
