When I speak of editing, I speak of grammar, word choice, and consistency, which consistency is what I believe the OP was focused on. He has valid points concerning how the active text is laid out. That is strictly an editorial problem, and not a game design problem.

For the record, WOTC's editing has been consistently atrocious. They have only provided "quality product" in the way of good presentation. I think their editors are too much of gamers and not enough of actual skilled and critical editors. But then, it may also be due in part to the impossible...

Certainly. Just because we're imperfect beings doesn't mean we can't do things in a perfect way from time to time or even for extended periods of time.

Yeah, while railroading can be a tool at times, I don't think a cursed item should ever be used in such a way. As Rel and Tarek brought out, it should be a way for your characters to excel in roleplaying. Like tossing a truffle before pigs or changing the paths of a mouse's maze to see how they...

I wouldn't say that it has changed so dramatically in such a short time. I believe each consecutive edition of the game has headed further and further out based on what people like to do with their characters. Chainmail was originally very medieval-centric. Original D&D added more of the LOTR...

Again, keep it on topic. This is so far off topic as not to be relevant to this thread at all. I would prefer that this thread stay open before a mod changes the status. If you wish to continue to discuss that issue, please fork it.

Great idea. There may be lots of opportunities out there through such online assistance.

There seems to be some misunderstanding going around on all sides about the point of my prediction of the internet vs. small business post and the discount cap. But that's neither here nor there. What I'm seeing all of us agreeing on is: Regardless of political and economic views, we all agree...

More space for product is not going to resolve the product cost issue. The store is still not going to be able to buy enough bulk to reduce their costs. Service is still going to need to be the focus, and without space, you can't provide service, because just answering questions is not a...

Thank you, Gandolf. Hey, can you make a beautiful willing maiden appear before me? Naked and glistening, preferably. Oh, and no STD's. :D

Hehe. Did someone say money?! :D Ah. Cool. In that case there could also be other benefits to both you and the customer by having it at your fingertips.

Updated my above post with projectors.

I just realized another problem with with FLGS vs. Internet sales. Amazon and other online retailers offset their discounts with ads. Remember the thing after Amazon first came out about how Amazon, by normal standards was completely bankrupt, but how it makes its money back on ads? They're...

The problem with using a database is that, not only are you not making a profit from it, you're essentially losing profit through time spent and program cost. However, you do maintain a small aspect of customer loyalty, which can assist in long term sales so long as your current profits remain...

If someone else brought in an example of what you want to discuss, then theirs would be a part of the discussion. Unfortunately, it seems the people speaking so far don't agree that having an unfun aspect of the game such as your item should be included in the game. Yours is the only negative to...

On the contrary. Due to circumstances beyond my own control, I have no means of purchasing anything online, and my local Barnes & Noble and Borders books carry very limited roleplaying materials at FULL PRICE (For instance, B&N only has the 4e DMG along with Exalted and a few other products I...

Hey, that's okay. It made my day! :D

The more successful of the two FLGS in my area is VERY diverse in similar ways. They have art books, manga books, comics and graphic novels, board games, huge variety of RPG's, huge variety of TCG's, minis games, walls of peuter miniatures, a table of previously owned or outdated materials, and...

FAIL! (What to do) FAIL! (Attempt) Third link removed as not-grandma friendly - PS

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!! You found something funnier than Rounser. This is the night to remember.
