I'm not sure the Amazon list supports the statement that PF is outselling 4e. In fact it could be interpreted to indicate the exact opposite. Just had a look at the Top 20 products and found the following: D&D 4e : 9 Products Pathfinder : 4 Products D&D 3.5 : 1 Product (!) D&D Boardgame : 1...

Johannesburg, South Africa, calling EN World... We have a couple of game-ish shops, but they're badly stocked and very expensive. Most people get their game-fixes via online retailers that import them on-demand. This means a 2-3 week turn-around but prices are reasonable (4e PHB with shipping is...

I also think that Dungeon holds little value to me. I'm just not interested in endless fights, pages and pages of stats all neatly packed into some underground complex. Yes, I know, the magazine is called "Dungeon" so I shouldn't really be expecting anything else but 15 years ago its content was...

Exactly! WotC can be the stuffy old English or Maths teacher while the 3pp's let you blow stuff up in the lab and take you on field trips to the red-light district.

Eclipse Phase is now available for ordering from BattleCorps. BattleCorps:/BattleShop I went for the Book/PDF bundle. Considering the amount of graphics the PDF loads surprisingly quick. Good job!

My experiences when I first started gaming in the early 80's was the exact opposite: Back then everyone was hardcore. Rulebooks were analysed and dissected, every new release was a cause for celebration, if your character history was less than 3 pages your DM would frown at you. Since then...

Dungeonless Adventures Easy: Adventures that (a) do not feature a single underground complex that's more than 3 rooms in size! Yes, I know the game is called Dungeons & Dragons, but I find the former to be the single most tedious aspect of the game. YMMV, of course. (b) Combat Encounters that...

I don't think that the answer to your first question requires house rules, tweaking HP's or anything drastic like that. I think it's actually pretty straight forward: Don't have the fight continue until the bitter end! If the "outcome is not in doubt" why are the PC's opponents sticking around...
