I'm a little surprised at this. But it is a good plan, should generate some support. Always helps to give away stuff for free to rouse interest. I'm surprised but I wholeheartedly approve. In fact I'll certainly use the free pdf as my litmus test for whether it is worth picking up more. The...

I agree with DMZ2112. I think they should definitely keep that kind of thing out of the core books. Succubi are excellent creatures to put in a Monster Manual, they really are. WotC can also probably get away with making them "Any Evil" by whatever system they're using to define this. But it is...

I know that for the longest time (and still default back to it to this day) that I thought Bel was female. It does make me wonder though, thinking back to the 3.5 image of the Pit Fiend and Balor, how would we know if the picture depicted a male or a female one? Unless a picture has anatomical...

To someone already going to buy the game, a 50 dollar price tag may be perceived as steep but they're still more likely to get the product. To someone who was never going to buy it, it doesn't matter what the price is. WotC isn't going to get these people no matter what. But to someone on the...

Feeling better in general as in more likely to buy that product? Yes. Like I said last time, even 40 bucks per book is more reasonable so 60 dollars less is certainly a good selling point. The problem with everyone jumping aboard this ray of sunshine is that it doesn't change WotC's prices one...

First, regardless whether or not it is personally affordable to me is irrelevant. If you read my post you would know 120 is more affordable than 150 by the sheer metric of being 30 dollars less. Also by way of gifts (a method I received most of my books of late) 120 is less of a price point for...

For art for its own sake: They're not bad. For art for a cover: Not my cup of tea. Though to answer the question, I like the Tiamat one best for some reason. I'm not a huge fan of random poses. I like context and story. I also like a bit of realistic looking (don't care how practical) art. I...

When I looked at the listing I priced it at 170 bucks (Canadian) which is already more than I think I spent during my whole 3e days and probably as much as I've spent total on my Pathfinder books. I spent around 100 fore the core 3 for 3.5 and I also bought a new copy of Deities and Demigods and...

I really can't comment on how the rules work or should work or are intended to work here. All I can say is that I see one bit of text that seems significant. To me that seems like it is saying that the skeleton (pieces?) are dead, inactive and generally not going to radiate anything except...

DISCLAIMER WARNING: I HAVE ONLY SECOND HAND KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE SUBJECT I AM ABOUT TO SPEAK. As far as I know, most outsider and elemental races are FAR older than any humanoids of the material plane. Or at least they are talked about more. Based on certain readings the eldest outsiders are...

I am working on my own OGL game (still in late alpha) and so I'm mostly here mining for ideas. I do think that most "revised" versions of the game are going to fall into two categories - not enough revision or too much revision. With that said.. I absolutely love these revisions for a...

What? False. I was in a store today looking at the books. There were roughly as many Pathfinder books as 4e books on the shelf and they were equally visible and displayed without one being more representative of the "D&D game" than the other. That said, I know that the word of mouth lately has...

More than a year I think. Thread started 2002.

I can't answer because there is no option for "No idea, I don't run a typical game."

Random thoughts (after looking at Spock) I don't mind something longer than Tolkien or Star Trek (for D&D universe elves and drow), but the WoW model bugs the heck out of me. In fact, thinking back I can think of very few depictions (let alone ones I preferred) where the ears DID look like the...

I honestly have no idea when a level happens in terms of hours. I'm guessing its 10-20 for my game but who knows. I don't use XP and don't budget encounters. When I run a fight it is as big or small as I think it should be based on narrative and situation. I tell them to level up after a...

I just quoted to say that I think this bears repeating. My major issue, the reason I voted for #4, is one of throwing people off when playing the game. When I'm running games or looking at settings or anything for GAMING then I absolutely try to keep scifi out of my fantasy. I've learned over my...

[Devil's Advocate]So.. a snake then? Snakes generally lack hair, so men-hair is like saying Human but elephantshaped-scales... Humans don't have scales.[/advocate]

I just want to start by saying the random item tables can be a really cool thing. I don't know that I necessarily need every single one of my players having a random item - but having it as a default option won't really stifle my options either and so I kind of like it. I have a problem with...

For me its not a huge deal. It doesn't take up as much real estate and its a little annoying - so I'm going to see if I can alter it in some way. But the real issue that bugs me is that it lops off the beginning of a reply when I go to first unread or last post. I do this rather a lot and I...
