:p I agree. Thanks.

Oh, i get it. If you could get all the group on the same page, that could help out both the gamers and the LGS some. If you had one dm that everyone trusted to keep the books, that could work out. Probably not well for most groups though. But if you had the right group, that could be a cool...

Whats the name of the company? do they have a website?

Well, i hope i am wrong about the future of LGSs, in regards to rpg business. (at least for you good ones out there). My LGS owner has definitely latched onto the wonders of selling and catering to the minature and card gamers. To the detriment of his RPG business, unfortunately. But thats the...

So whats the deal with Burning Wheel? Is it a gaming engine or game world? Or both?

Interesting theory. But how does it translate into more books sold for the FLGS? Instead of buying a PHB, they buy another book. Sometimes i think the FLGS of the future won't even be a gamer's prime source for game books (if a source at all!). Like others have said it could be more of an...

Thats my point, though. It will change how a lot of publishers craft their business model, but it isn't going to kill the paper and pencil industry. Evolution of society is the only thing thats going kill the P&P industry and thats somewhere in the future. I think small publishers have either...

I've always loved the idea of a percentage system, but i have never really played a percentage-based game i thought was very tight or used the % format well for all aspects of their game. I toy with my own % systems often because i like the challenge. I agree that it is very intuitive.

Me too. Its one my favorite systems because it was the first Task/difficulty systems i ever used. STAT (roughly 2-10) + Skill (0-10) + 1D10. I like that a bit better than D&D's resolution (for combat and skills) simply because the D20 (at least in D&D/D20 games) roll supercedes the importance of...

I don't think anyone is gainsaying that are they? I sure am not. If anyone has a FLGS that is great, i think they do have an obligation to shop there. Not because of the health of the industry, since i don't at all believe that LGSs and industry health are inexorably linked, but because having...

No it won't. You can order print books from a lot (or most) of publishers directly. If LGSs went out of business the industry would change, not die. Its up to the LGS's to change and evolve with the industry. I'm not saying thats wrong or right, bad or good, fair or unfair. But i do think its...

Only if they revise their Jedi power mechanics. :D

Having worked at a game store, i do. I must say that i think your are totally wrong here, my friend. There always will be a business to serve their gaming needs. It just may not be a LGS, or it won't be one that fits the stereotype of your typical LGS. But the eventual evolution of the LGS is...

Well, no. RPGNOW has its own print service that their publishers can use so that their customers can get a pdf, CD, or print book of the product in question. I haven't gotten any print books with that service, but the people who use that service seem to be quite happy with it.

Currently i play/about to play two games a week (yay!). Both are MEGS (old DC heroes/Blood of heroes) with me as GM. The list of games that i have played over the years would be ridiculously long, so i'll skip it. It would be easier to list what i haven't played, but would like to: New WOD -...

Well the PDFs has LGS beat on fast for getting the supplement. You can go To Rpgnow and buy a file and be reading it before the other gamer gets to the LGS to buy that print book. As for print speed of Rpgnow's (and others) print service vs the LGS...no contest. LGS wins. IF your LGS has the...

My current "D&D" group just switched to DC Heroes/Blood of Heroes (or just MEGS, if you please) last week with me as GM. They seemed to like it and took to a point based system with relative ease. me so happy. :) I also got some of them to make warhammer characters last month and they had fun...

Then there is the flip side to that. There are slews of people who don't differentiate between the editions. To them 3.x still has hit points, classes, vancian magic, xp based on killing stuff, thaco/ac, and phat loot collection. They don't see the difference between the AD&D, 2E, or D&D...

:p I thought exactly the same thing! Man. White Wolf. They are making Palladium look good. :eek: There, but for the grace of god, go i............ ;)

Some do that. Some don't. If you have one near you that does what you say, then i am happy for you. Truly! However, your experience is not my experience. Apparently, its not the experience of quite a few others.
