That's probably the faintest praise I've seen in quite some time. I think that its sort of funny that no one has mentioned U2 or REM in this thread. They are still, IMHO, vital bands that were alternative back in a time when that word actually meant something. If anything, I'm nostalgic for...

I could have sworn that this post was eaten when I hit enter. See below for the final version. Cheers.

I suppose if the editors keep track of the changes that are made to existing rules as they are made, and the 25% new content is vetted for the SRD as it is accepted, the SRD update could be as timely as the MSRD. In fact, the MSRD is probably a larger job because it had to be vetted in its...

Like I said, I am not entirely sure. But, the PHB was clearly marked as "2nd printing" when errata was included. The price point doesn't have much to do with the content, as far as I have heard. Even in the 2nd printing, the PHB stayed at the introductory price for quite a while. WotC is...

Generally speaking, Saves are used to avoid something and checks are used to accomplish something. So if you wanted to work Balance checks into the Grease spell you could call for one when a player is actively trying to cross (or move within) the greasy area, but if the spell has just been cast...

As far as I know the higher priced copies are the exact same as those still carrying the introductory pricing. They are both first impressions. Cheers.

I suppose if I'm going to correct you I should get my own bearings first. ;) It's on Laurier. Between Metcalfe and Elgin. If you aren't on the right side of the street cross at the lights. ;) Cheers.

By which, of course, she means south side of Metcalfe. ;) Cheers.

A quick search of the SRD turns up specific references to the Weapon Finesse feat in the description of: Spiked Chain, Dagger, Rapier, Unarmed Strike. These are weapons that are not *small* weapons, even though two of them are light for the standard PC races. The redundancy is probably just...

Hmmmn. I guess it isn't exactly the same but... ...when you return to the boards after a long absence and are left feeling a little hollow when you notice that Henry's sig. no longer exclaims. "C'mon August!" Cheers.

I think that there are a few approaches you could take: 1. Hierarchical Polytheism: There is a King (or Queen) of the Gods that unifies the pantheon and their worshipers. If it is not possible for the Divine Monarch to be usurped (and there is no cyclical death and rebirth of the monarch)...

"Forwards, good reader, to a world unlike any other most of you have ever seen before." I would use "gentle reader" as an homage to EGG. ;) Otherwise, it looks like this book is sort of caught between two worlds: 1) An advice book for gamers, and 2) a general interest book on RPGs. If you...

I think that 2e might have been too fragmented to really create the shared experience that is needed for a consensus. It seemed like everyone was playing in a different campaign setting (or at least pillaging a different setting or two for their homebrews) so the adventures/modules weren't as...

I think that you meant Vitality Points and HP are the same thing. If so, true enough. But there's not much point in trying to find some way of indicating compatibility with d20 SWRPG if the Monster Manual is just as compatible. Most people don't consider them to be truely compatible because...

Well Wound Points/Vitality Points is pretty fundamental to d20 Star Wars, and it is *not* open game content. If you can develop monsters that fit seamlessly into the d20 SWRPG without using that mechanic, you are a genius. Good luck.

This might be the reason why the mere existence of a higher-priced option significantly increases the sales of lower-priced options. It sets a higher frame of reference in which the lower-priced products can be judged to be "reasonably" priced or not. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to me that...

"The whole point of a PDF is that the electronic format makes per page printing costs irrelevant." True. But the trade off is the very small number of sales compared to a print product. What you gain on the hobby-horse (low capitol expenditure) you lose on the swings (low gross sales). Then...

Yeah, that's just the Elven Exception. Elves don't actually sleep, but they need their 8 hours of beauty meditation. The spirit of that clause is that "elves can prepare spells even though they don't actually sleep". I deliberately worded my example to show that just because you are lying in...

My group just assumes (much to my delight) that it is nearly impossible to sleep for 8 hours four hours after you've had a full night's rest. You'll only sleep for an hour or two if you go to bed at 6:00PM instead of 9:00. Unless of course you are ill or seriously sleep-deprived, in which case...

Back to the question of how to bring more customers to the shop to keep up with the increasing number of products. Off the top of my head, there are a few ways that advertising can be leveraged to do this. But what are the benefits and drawbacks of each. I'm just throwing this out for...
