I don't think I would ever trust Gary's thoughts on business. I don't think he had much effect on the market after he displayed his expert business judgement while running TSR, so by 2006 and this quote, I think it might all be sour grapes. Now truth be told, Gary (et all) ran the fad pretty...

Sorry. I made my saving throw(TM) so I won't make an offensive comment about how I pronounce naughty word with a W instead of ann...

And this is what I kinda expected from EFF. I'm glad someone came out and said what impact WOTC/Hasbro's attack on Open Gaming could have.

I was hoping it would have been a more shot across to bow to WOTC, but I got more of the, 'You'all should have understood what you've gotten yourself into' vibe from it. It doesn't seem like they care if it gets to the courts and then there's a precedent against openness.

Rhetorical question for the board as a whole, if my wordpress.com blog is monetized (it isn't), do I have to submit a legal document to them if I want to post a custom class for any version of D&D using the NOGL? Asking for a friend. If I do, then I would much rather have someone else's OGL...

Brother, I'm firmly in the OSR at this point. I brought my young children to the game with B/X. I'm not talking about us--those that create on their own, those that don't really want a bite of the larger market. I (and the many others here who) don't need WOTC's game, but we still want to...

Roll d20 and add modifiers, specific type of action economy, specific type of magic system, the most basic of chassis. I think something needs to be done for the future. D&D was dead before WOTC revived it and brought everyone along with the OGL. WOTC and Hasbro are killing the openness of the...

I think the thought is to create a chassis of a basic rule system under which a true open gaming licence that everyone can work from to produce their material, since WOTC seems to want to pull everything that exists within the OGL now under their absolute control with the new NOGL. Would CR...

I haven't been here in years and log on to see this. You and anyone else I've helped is welcome.

I don't know if my vote has been mentioned yet; can a thread be TL;DR? From what little info I have seen, I think it's most appropriate title might be D&D WOTC. Maybe have a subtitle like: All the best 3e and 4e mechanics with an Old School Point of View.

"For any fans awaiting future "Star Wars" films from George Lucas, it's going to be a long wait. The creator of the famed series says he's not going to make any more of these movies and that he's essentially retiring. And for that he blames the harsh feedback from certain fans." All I can say...

While you are welcome to debate, name calling is not civil and won't be tolerated. -Stalker0

Yes. If the Dungeon Master's Guide suggests what will be fun in the game, and those suggestions do not match with what I find fun, then I would expect to be much less likely to enjoy the game. Hypotheticals aside, I played 4e for around three months when it first came out. His definition of...

If anyone knows, where is Wyatt's quote referenced from? EDIT: nevermind, answered above, but does lead me to a new question. Is there a central repository one can find all of these quotes and links to videos for someone that wants to study WOTC's marketing campaign for the 4th edition rollout...

I read the OP's question as pertaining to 4e's goals as a game and how the designers built those rules for a specific style of play. Since Mearl's dials of complexity don't seem to deal with throwing out healing surges, throwing out treasure parcels, throwing out the balance idea of every...

Doesn't work for storm troopers though. :p

I'd be interested to know why people don't like the black. I find this site is easier to read than most others.

I might consider POD for some items that I don't have, or that I do have but are in bad condition. I am still kicking myself that I didn't buy the 25th-silver anniversary box set years ago. Would not make that mistake again.

I think 4e would have had me if it were marketed as DDMv3 or advanced DDM

I keep making my saving throw. I wonder if this is all it has. :yawn: Weak.
