    WotC Doesn't (Didn't) Understand the OGL

    Possibility A: Wizards of the Coast is run by retarded monkeys who despite being the most successful company in the history of Hobby Gaming, has no idea what they're doing. Possibility B: A few very dedicated, very well meaning people here have misinterpreted a few things, misread a few...

    WOTC undecided over OGL/GSL. Why you should care

    LOL. Unless third parties had an influence over the core books, the Forgotten Realms Campaign book, and a handful of class books... I'm not wrong. Everyone here just assumed that everyone uses SOME third party book, or... I guess worst case scenario uses enough books for the official books...

    The Economics of Open Gaming - An Open Letter To WotC

    This entire thread is predicated on the idea that some person on the internet with qualifications impossible to verify knows more about the Role Playing Game sector then people who've made it their business to know about the Role Playing Game sector. You might be right. You might be smarter...

    WOTC undecided over OGL/GSL. Why you should care

    Its weird. I agree more with the logic, and ideology of the people who support the OGL, and worry 4E DnD will change that policy... possibly after they've already shipped core books. Yet... I can't help but to think that I have never personally gained any advantage from the Open Game...

    R. Thompson : D&D still a sim/gamist RPG

    So much semantics, so little time. Is the original poster really complaining that fourth edition, at the same time, is neither gamist, nor narrativist enough? Thats like walking into a green room, and bitching that while he didn't want a blue room, nor did he want a yellow room... this room...

    D&D 4E 4e Hitpoints are modelled after quantum mechanics

    Wow... that was... actually... well thought out. :) Very nice. It actually is a function of quantum mechanics.

    :cool: Touche. I probably shouldn't have said that. I apologize. Friends?

    Gertie "Xath" Barden...

    Uhhh... I wasn't talking specifically about your reply at all. It was the ten replies implying I shouldn't have given a nice comment to a pretty girl that made me think it was getting blown out of proportion. And whatever that reason is, it is most certainly not "because they would...

    LOL! :heh: If my girlfriend sees this... I swear it was nothing more then a nice comment. ;)

    Gertie "Xath" Barden...

    I'm shocked this turned into such a big deal. Noticing an attractive female is now exclusively in the realm of "stereotypical nerdy males"? WTF? The biggest non-"shock" of the thread should be that gamer girls are normal girls... and I thought Xath was prettier then the average "normal...

    Gertie "Xath" Barden...

    Holy snikees... Gertie "Xath" Barden is really really cute. I don't know what I expect out of DnD/forum girls... but she surpasses.

    D&D 4E Looks like 4e's combat is closer, and I LIKE it!!

    WTF? No. You're entirely neglecting the force of energy. With enough applied force, an arrow fired perpendicular to the ground would *never* again touch the ground (although it would eventually escape the earths gravity). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sniper#Snipers_in_warfare This link says...

    OK, I'm in ...

    And my point is that it doesn't matter what you call it ("bug" or "feature") if its a bad idea. It doesn't matter whether it was intentional or not. Who cares? What matters is whats in the final rule book. If they accidentally stumble upon a great game, everyone will be happy. If they...

    OK, I'm in ...

    Step back from what? Demonstrating in an easily understandable, metaphorical way how dwelling on semantics can be harmful? Hitler might have been poopie... but you brought him up. Not me.

    OK, I'm in ...

    Or more simply. Draw a long line, and step 30 feet back from it. If you use well measured steps to get to it, you'll probably reach it in around ten steps. If you turn at a 45 degree angle (diagonal) and then walk towards your long line, you'll arrive in around 14 steps. You're thinking...

    $o$ or not?

    You paid $240 for all three core 3.5 books... and you're only expecting to pay $100 (after crazy expensive shipping) for the 4E books? You're numbers are really really fuzzy, all over the place. Not to mention that you bought all sorts of "unnecessary" books during the 3.5 days, and you're...

    OK, I'm in ...

    I also agree thats a troubling thought, and since it doesn't have a thing to do with the specifics of numbers it isn't something too likely to seem better once we have a better feel of the game. Even 3.x had spell casters for the experienced players who wanted to get the most out of their...

    How is that a function of power escalation, and what purpose would house ruling down power escalation serve?

    OK, I'm in ...

    No insult intended here, but I genuinely don't understand whats wrong with this. If you enjoy one edition of a game, with characters that have 50 hit points (or whatever), and fireballs that do 20 damage (or whatever)... Why would you have a problem with the next edition, if the characters...
