In the first few months after 4E was announced, many of the "selling points" the designers made in Design and Development articles and interviews were interpreted by some as "3.5E sucks!" edit: Please note that I said "interpreted by some", not that I actually believe that. I think the WotC...

I am well aware of what the OGL allows people to do. My post's topic centered on the reasons Wizards had to release its core rules in such a license. The reason, as I see it, was that Wizards wanted third parties to make supplements to D&D, since they had seen that trying to cover each and...

Companies that do this risk alienating their fan base... Specially in such a small market such as pen and paper RPGs WotC/Hasbro would be foolish to do such a thing for such a small payoff

Educate me, then <shrugs>

Not a chance.

Cirno, it was badwrong. The OGL was designed to allow third parties to make supplements for D&D, not whole new games that would compete with it. The whole thing was an example of the Tragedy of the Commons Besides, I believe that the gaming community is better served by people making new...

FINALLY!!! Gee... that took a little bit too long, don't you think?

I just want to chime in and say that, having just bought the first instalment of War of the Burning Sky 4E, I want to congratulate Morrus and everyone in ENWorld Publishing for an excellent job... It is one heck of an adventure...

Didn't Rouse say that the original print run of the 4E core rulebooks sold out faster than expected and that everybody in WotC was very happy? I mean, I can understand that having a corporate overlord like Hasbro puts a lot of pressure on WotC's management to try to maximize profit on each and...

Really? Who's doing it? When is it coming out? - Edit: Mhmm... Expeditious Retreat Press... could anyone comment if they are any good? Are we better off just using the system-neutral setting?

A little narrative of a Commander's Strike example for those who don't "get" this power.

But this is like complaining on why Superman doesn't always fly out of range of his enemy and blasts him with his heat vision (or freezes him with superbreath) all the time! I mean, he does do that on occasion, but the story is a lot more entertaining if he gets close and punches him and only...

Excellent points, and this proves that what's good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander... In the meantime, while I am a bit disappointed that I might not be able to buy a Tome of Horrors 4E, I am very happy with my Master Dungeons and Level Up purchases

Just for your info, macuahuitls were not south american, but rather north and central american. They were commonly broadsword-sized but there were a few that were two-handers (as tall as a man). As a matter of fact, we can look into Mesoamerican cultures -- Mexica, Toltec, Maya, etc. for clues...

Steve Austin, swordsman. A man barely alive. "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the alchemy. We have the capability to build the world's first alchemic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster." That sounds like a great backstory for a...

Actually the visual art style of Planescape was established by Tony DiTerlizzi

No, it instead goes like this: (At the beggining of the campaign) Gumphrey: "I want to play this character" (hands sheet) DM: "Let me take a look... Mhmm... Any reason why you have put so many resources into Intimidate?" Gumphrey: "I am very scary" DM: "Oh, ok" In game preparation: DM...

Oh God, please say it ain't so! :.-( Dragonlance 4E would be even worse than Forgotten Realms 4E whereas Dark Sun 4E, or a whole new setting would be something much better Not necessarily, remember we got Warforged way before we had 4E Eberron... And we have Grells in 4E and I don't expect...

O'Chul is the true, lawful good paladin that Miko could never be

I tended to use (C3) The Lost Island of Castanamir to teach roleplaying to newbies, but I'm weird like that...
