That it was, but when you have a turnover in the top leadership of WotC, coupled with a report on how the scenario actually played out, there's bound to be a change in strategy.

It's the Silver Marches for me.

To properly replay the Battle of Hoth you need four AT-ATs and one AT-ST, in addition to a Darth Vader figure and as many snowtroopers as you can field for the Imperials (and 12 snowspeeders, a Luke Skywalker On Hoth figure, and as many Rebel artillery and fighters as you can field- oh, and a...

Why not go with intelligent apes and other simians?

Only if the cleric's patron god is like that of the Abrahamic faiths. Most gods don't do that. Again, only if the cleric's religion is highly organized and stratified into an active hierarchy. This is not to be taken for granted, as there are cults where this is not true in whole or in part...

Most PCs past a certain character level are utterly unaccountable because they become too powerful for the authorities to bring them to account for their actions. (Exactly what point that is depends upon the setting.) Players don't want to answer for their actions, in general, and they are...

Sword and Sorcery works for a few fundamental reasons: Autonomy: The standard sword and sorcery character is a rootless, amoral mercenary out for himself. He wants lots of gold, personal power, and the priviledges that those two things brings to his life. This is far easier to pull off in D&D...

I've longed for it, but never experienced it in all my 20+ years because none of the other players wanted it. Much like horror gaming, dramatic gaming works only when the players become effected by the circumstances of gameplay; just as you have to scare players to make horror work, you must...

I run a Dragon-Blooded game (with one very put-upon Chosen of Serenity).

"Love is an Epic-level challenge." Now that is good gamer geek humor.

This would be better done, and more likely to be done, by a third-party publisher selling such a work as a PDF file that's optimized for printing, specifically printing only a few pages out of that whole work at a time as the user requires them. The cost would be lower, and it would keep WOTC...

It might not suck, and it seems certain to suck a lot less than the first film.

Feng Shui/Shadowfist has the Jammers. The Jammers have hyperintelligent, violent, and idiosyncratic monkeys, apes, baboons and chimpanzees that go by names like "Furious George", "Funky Monkey", "Battlechimp Potemkin", "Che Gorilla", "Koko Channel", "Orango Tank", and "Rhesus Pieces". (Their...

I think that there needs to be some conversations about this behind the scenes between the third-party publishers and the relevant powers at Wizards of the Coast. There is no action that we on the outside can do about this, other than to gather this information on our own and write those same...

I have no complaints whatsoever about the results.

WWGS annouced a few days ago that it shall no longer publish Zir'An due to sales performing well under expectations. The game's creators may continue to seek publication on their own. Pendragon v5, or an update about it, should be released at GenCon this weekend. However, their similiar...

I second the Avatar and Shaman basic classes from Green Ronin.

By default, I ban all half-races and restrict choices to dwarf, elf, halfling and man.

I've flipped through it, but none of my crew are interested in it so it's a no-go for me.

I suspect that RPGs are capital goods masquerading as consumer goods.
