    D&D 5E (2014) Speculating about the future of the D&D industry/community in a post-5E world

    *nods* yes. I'm not alone. I have at least two others I know of, people I actually know that have had the same problem, including one that got a time out. You are not alone in that matter. I've stopped using the forums for general gaming discussion. They are VERY VERY sensitive on that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Speculating about the future of the D&D industry/community in a post-5E world

    Exactly. Plus things to consider is the pathfinder bloat is pretty staggering right now- its why (among other reasons) I stopped buying and playing pathfinder. putting out that many items every month/year is a bit much for me now. A fresh start is a good thing..... Plus the added insular nature...

    Any fans of the Hero System on this site? or The reports of Hero's death have been greatly exaggerated!

    I I remember the basics. OCV, DCV,ECV...build points. Not sure how to build muiltipowers anymore, nor some of the more advanced powers- multiform and such. Again, its been 20 years-ish since I played, combat I don't recall.

    Any fans of the Hero System on this site? or The reports of Hero's death have been greatly exaggerated!

    Loved HERO system. played a lot of 4th. Unfortunately picked up a bunch of stuff to play again and not sure how to run it anymore.

    Edition warring is for chumps, but isn't D&D specific

    More so with the later then the former. Having to do with embezelling funds, unpaid freelancers and bad blood that stemmed from it. Less to do with rules changes unlike the 3.x vs 4e 5th looks pretty ok from a rules standpoint. Fluff stand point there are vexing retconns and other items from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is DnD next chasing a pipedream?

    The problem with that is they have lost market share, and they have lost customers. Staying afloat as profitable by continuously raising prices cant last. You have to grow your customer base, not shrink it. They aren't nearly as dominant as one thinks, too many shallow cuts. No one game will...

    Licensing, OGL and Getting D&D Compatible Publishers Involved

    Any serious publisher is going to look around in 2014 and realize the game is very fractured edition wise. Its not 2000 OGL era nor is it even 4e time. Depends on the market, but at this time I'm not seeing a ton of rah rahs for 5th. Especially coming on the heels of a bitter short run of 4e.

    Licensing, OGL and Getting D&D Compatible Publishers Involved

    The problem is many 3pp companies are going to be VERY skittish over doing products via 5th OGL or not, given how the last round of OGL discussions and methods were used in 4e, and frankly the lackluster and short run 4e had. I mean at this point would you jump onto 5th and take real chances or...

    AD&D 1E 1e The World of Greyhawk...reprint WotC

    Have it. But unless they actually reprint it, I wouldnt just settle for a PDF. The maps alone are priceless.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is DnD next chasing a pipedream?

    Define successful, because GW has its own issues If you have followed their finances for the last decade, they are selling less and less and only maintaining mostly through higher and higher prices every year. They arent selling more units, they are selling less at higher prices. And their...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook Leaves WotC - No Longer working on D&D Next [updated]

    Comparing players 2 to say complete divine or complete arcane is dishonest. 4e's business plan was different from 3.5- that edition had splate books, while the 3 main were core. 4e's plan was everything was core, so they spread the core choices out. No suprise folks bought it. So no, its not a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook Leaves WotC - No Longer working on D&D Next [updated]

    *nods* I bought then and at least half our 8 man group did. One ended up actually trying and not liking it. Everyone else sold off or traded away the books we bought. SO it wouldnt suprise me if that is the case. But again, it doesnt make it successful, despite the larger print run. (It...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook Leaves WotC - No Longer working on D&D Next [updated]

    Again, none of that contradicts what I've said: The two greatest times were a high point in the 80's, and the release of 3.0 If, as you and mearls have said, 4e has a bigger print run then 3.5(and 3.5 had a bigger run then 3.0 ), why isnt another high point 4e sales? Print run doesnt equate...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook Leaves WotC - No Longer working on D&D Next [updated]

    The problem I see with some of your thougts is the lack of information- like your thought that you heard that 4e had larger print run then 3.0 and they sold out of them.... But, the two most profitable times in D&D history was 3.0 and a time and the early 80's. If, by your information that 4e...

    Dear WotC: Be Blizzard

    The problem is I'm not sure 5th is going to HAVE time to be perfected. Considering that 4e was somewhat deemed failure, or not living up to its predictions, it just might not have time. *holds up hands* Not trying to provoke an edition wars over the failure comment, so please dont take it as...
