Oh no. Thats not MY standard of succcessful. CasualOblivian said: "I don't see the OGL movement as having the same impact of the original D&D craze, the launch of M:tG, or even the ascension of White Wolf in the 90s. " So by his own standards, 4e didnt meet it either. Just holding up the...

I'm not sure I'd go that far withe the GSL fiasco and the digital intialive glitches at launch(I seem to recall a HUGE push over a game table and other items that didnt make release times). Its not like 3.0 launch or a few other games. Further, I'm not sure you'd get 4e as it were without OGL...

Neither did the launch of 4e, by that logic.

One can argue that 4e might not have come about the way it had without OGL.

That may very well be correct. But from a consumer POV, it was an extreme failure. Without OGL, I dont think I'd have been back and stayed back this time around. Without OGL, one could argue a bit that 4e might not have taken the road it took...

I have no questions about moderation, as they question was quoting somone else. I was just wondering as I didnt see any edition war items- simple facts were Clarks's early cheerleading(and later cheerleading) then his eventual post of "let me have it" eating crow thread when he finally realized...

Maybe I missed something, but how is it edition wars pointing out that Clark WAS cheerleading for the new edition and put alot of faith in WOTC for the new GSL/Edition and eventually got burned/found the GSL too restrictive? Because thats the reality, and it has nothing to do with 4e nor whether...

While every gamer knows who he is, he was pretty obscure during the end of TSR and before WOTC picked it up. Dangerous journey didnt exactly take off.....

The problem comes in that the good stores like Titan and others are few and far between. if you have a great one, Good for you! The problem is most of us dont, which only adds to the shopping online, discussion online, finding gamers online with less hassle and no driving...... If I had a good...

Its not a bug. Its a feature.

Epic play, definately

Ult9imately thats a symptom my biggest problem with digital content-whether its e-readers or PDF's....I dont really own anything. With the magazinem I have a physical copy that no one can take away(barring floods, fire or disaster), but you can be cut off or have it removed-wotc cut off PDF's...

Unlike a real book, in an e-reader type(say kindle) The manufacturer or provider or content can go into it and delete your content w/o permission. See Kindle debacle online. Where they went in and deleted books that they had sold, but aparantly their subsidy didnt have permission to sell(1984...

AS to your second paragraph, non-exsistant. I got into my current group via enworld actually. players looking for players. As for goodman, remember he's visited many many FLGS. So if he's seeing say 1000 of them, he's going to see things alot differently then what I see with the 3 locally...

Well as someone who use to actually buy where you play.... No selection. They claimed to be say, GW stockers when it fact they pretty much slide out of it and have no stock. And have nothing else of interest. No CCG and paintball arent my interest. Open wargaming for example, is wensdays at...

I only have bad ones. One use to eb good when the old man ran it, but it changed hands. Now they just suck ass and dont provide anything I'm interested. Everything I need for gaming over the last couple years has been gained and done by the internet. Its gotten me everything I needed from...

Yes actually it is. The campaign book itself is generic enough for anyone, but once you start delving into the fluff of various places in specific its very innovative.

Dark Heresy seems to be making headway.

I wont say WOTC had an equal hand in pathfinder, but if wotc didnt screw around and delay the GSL so mcuh......

Lets be careful now. Considering Mearles was the lead designer of 4e, it sure seems like 4e took a hint from Iron Heros which he also worked on....
