You're right, I shoulda linked. I plan on buying it, but I've learned not to preorder unless I really trust the source. I guess it's already in print now, though, so I can do just that!

Wait...what? Did this happen? What module? Anyone have a link to a news story? Fascinating.

For free RPG day I got the Arcanis RPG adventure/quickrules. It was a small (32? 16?) page booklet that had enough rules to play a short, but interesting, adventure. It seems like your system might be a very good system, but the selling points are rather dry. I wonder, especially since...

How about "praise an element of game that is not one of your favorites, but you're aware of"? OWoD was fun, but not a favorite. While I sorta agree with those who have said "there aren't really games I don't like" I also think that there's room to find some positivity about a game I might...

Another (hopefully helpful) comment from a nonpublisher. I really like Trailblazer by Badaxe. I own it, but don't own any supplements (and don't even know if there ARE supplements). I haven't followed Goodman Games Dungeon revision closely (which I can't even really name). I think I'll...

I love steampunk, but have little exposure to it (as my groups don't love it, sadly...so what I do is exploration on my own). I was recently exposed to Abney Park's music, and have been observing the banner ads (even clicked on it!)...and I have to say that I'm excited. But I'm also ill...

I game with 2 groups. One plays 4e (and I've never DMed it), the other plays Pathfinder (we have 2 campaigns, one of which I DM). I like them both. I agree with Malkav that they scratch different itches...but also admit that part of that might be the different people and different styles in...

I thought it might (probably) have been you, but I wasn't 100% sure. I also didn't want to call you out specifically to this community. I figured if it was you, then you'd know and could choose to mention if it was you or not. The way you're coloring the post now adds more data than was there...

So it'd be ok for me to go onto the WotC forums and find a thread that is "the most overrated RPGs of all time" and name 4e, saying that it's an ok game, but I think it's the most overrated for some other reason? Heck, even I wouldn't even say that here, on more neutral ground. Yet someone...

Unless you can point to these many others who agree with you, maybe you just want to speak for yourself. Because I (and many others) felt the reaction to be appropriate to the actions of WotC at the time. I spent far, far more than thirty seconds thinking about this. I was a news guide on the...

I make a few edits to the OP below. *Currnies is a term I just made up as the polar opposite to grognards. (Hopefully this little edit points out how insulting the OP could be to "grognards"). EDIT to add: Taking away specific terms, this is what a lot of this thread has read like...

I'm not a publisher, but I've worked with Open Design enough to have seen a small bit of "behind the scenes" discussion regarding publishing. One thing you might consider is "free art". If you search for public domain art, you might be able to use that. Also, I don't know that a pdf would...

This is true. Also true, however, is that if "Happy Days" somehow became old and "Joni loves Chachi" (sp) became the "bees knees"...then something has gone awry. I'm attempting to point out that it's one thing for Lost to supersede The Tonight Show, and a very different thing for Angel...

This post made my heart sing. (I am not being sarcastic, if that's not clear on messageboards). It really did. On the one hand, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the great wheel. I like the idea of balance and extremeism (sp), and I love that it's done on multiple levels (inner versus outer planes, astral...

I play 4e but prefer pathfinder, to give context. That said, I don't know if the rant in the OP is totally correct, totally off, or somewhere in between (I expect that the latter is likely closest). Here's what I have to contribute: I would love to see more 4e adventures with depth. I...

To people like this I usually just say "Baaaaaaaa(h)". More seriously, I wonder about the Fundamental Attribution Error, FAE, as some have mentioned without the social psychology terminology. Fundamental Attribution Error Description In more lay terms...if I'm late for work and I'm...

My apologies. I read: as Again, my apologies.

You don't roll 9d6 and add modifiers. You roll 3d6, add modifiers, then multiply that by 3 (or more correctly roll 3d6 three times, adding modifiers three times). You don't multiply anything that is added as dice (like if it were a frost lance or sneak attack damage) but you do multiply...

Holy crap, how could I have forgotten Frog God?!? I'm even a subscriber to Slumbering Tsar (but I haven't downloaded the chapters for a few months...waiting for their printed book). I need to go check them out again. Thanks.

I'll agree with those dissapointed by Necromancer not producing product for 4e. That was a major dissapointment for me. They're in my top three favorite 3pps (Necro, Paizo-when they were 3pp rather 1pp, Open Design in no particular order), and to see them fizzle rather than produce for either...
