They do. As such, I've started to ignore them. EDIT: I'll still read em as "product release news" so I can find out details about a new product, but I'm now ignoring them as helpful information on which to base an opinion. MerricB's post was MUCH more balanced and believable, and he...

Yellow part is highlighted by me. If I could give this post negative xp, I would. Being buillied and then publicizing the facts about it is hardly "jerky". Someone committed a crime here, and the other party merely mentioned it publicly. Or perhaps you're accusing them of "tattling"...

I doubt this is "canon", but it'd be interesting if the snake hair required snake food, and the more human baby mouth required mother's milk. Humans can also subsist on goat's milk, along with wetnurses in place of dear old mom (and of course older babies/toddlers can eat some more basic...

I don't know much about Facebook, but what would it take to message the people who "like" Hillside Games and link them to this news story?

Fiasco, and it's other versions, is (are) excellent at exploring the tropes of each genre. You could do the "team version" you suggest, or not. Up to you. I'll also put forward "Don't Rest Your Head" and "Don't Lose Your Mind" which are good thriller style horror games. Another fun/unusual...

Van Richten's Guide to the Shadow Fey was a great resource. There's some great dark (it's for Ravenloft, as you probably guessed from the title) stuff in there. Grimm (and the older Grimm d20) does some excellent dark faerie tale stuff as well.

Look into: Fiasco - great heist style cooperative storytelling game in which everything goes wrong (think italian job)....but there are versions for other motifs than heists as well. Sorceror - the dark side of magic, dealing with demons and the lust for power. Somewhat adult, but very...

Now I'm confused. Orcs in 3e are "often chaotic evil". When were they lawful? The only lawful org/goblin race I can think of is hobgoblins.

It's got potential, but I wish it clarified a few more boundaries. -How long are the adventures going to be? -Who are these people (have they any experience with adventure writing/publishing in the past)? -Do they have at least a few weeks ahead already, or are they going to fall into the...

I greatly prefered monte cook's variant damage reduction to the official dr. One more reason I'm happy he's working on 5e. (That, his variant ranger, the book of experimental might, etc etc.) Seemed he really got some of the flaws in 3e and worked to find ways to improve em. My...

Gornok's Avalanche.

I voted no. I don't like the binary and judgemental positions put forth in the poll, frankly. (The frowny face was particularly unhelpful.) I will pledge to try my hardest not to edition war, to couch things as my opinion rather than as fact, to back up my opinions, where possible, with...

I agree that there'd be no more development, but do you think it would be costly (or otherwise resource consuming in a meaningful way) for them to keep the static product going?

This is true. If they can FORCE me to switch to 5e, that'd be great for them. But they can't. Attempting to force 3e players to switch to 4e created pathfinder (because apparently lots of people didn't want to switch). The same will be true of an unknown number of 4e players if they try to...

Well, I agree, to a point. However, it would definitely sway my decision as to whether to subscribe to a 5e subscription or not. My point, too, is that lots of 4e players only bought the core books (or not even the core books) and have come to rely upon D&DI as their source for playing 4e. If...

They darn well better do it. I'm a (bit of a) player of 4e (though I prefer 3e, 3.5, and pathfinder). I'm not terribly invested in 4e as a system, though I don't want it to "die", and I DO want 4e players to continue to be able to enjoy the game (and for my own 4e group, I also have those...

I only picked "like" for one of them, but my responses are actually pretty varied. 1. Healing scales with base hit points: LIKE!!! This is the one thing that I've always disliked about prior edition healing (where cure light wounds cures far more on a lvl 1 character %wise than on a high lvl...

I want 5e to be a game that can easily be played without healing surges present at all, ever. I voted against them. However, my longer answer would be "I don't care" in the modular sense. I'd actually like for them to be "included" in a modular way for the 4e folks who like em...I just don't...

As someone who pretty much only buys in print, I'd include that this is available in print at: The Breaking of Forstor Nagar

This seems to be inferior to maptools in every way except one, but it's a big one. Actually connecting/being able to play. My group used maptools (two of us majored in computer science in college) and routinely spent 1-2 hours at the beginning of a session getting everyone to connect (due...
