Losing half your audience isn't somewhat alarming. It's really bad. I can't think of any business that loses so much of their audience to a competitor and thinks they should stay the course. I still don't think D&D 5e will be around before 2013, but really if publishing 4e books was really...

Yes, WOTC is a big company and can survive and make long term plans. The people running the D&D division can't. How many great D&D designers who worked at WoTC have been canned? Yeah, LOTS. Nearly every year they lay people off. Whether times are good or not. A few, like Rich Baker have been...

There's a portion of the pathfinder audience who are fanatical, but it's not some overwhelming percentage. Their last two supplements (Ultimate Combat and Ultimate Magic) have gotten meh reviews by many Pathfinder players. Hell, one of the biggest boosts Pathfinder got was Monte Cook's...

"I've spent the past several months talking about D&D's past and how that relates to its future. It's now time to focus much more on the future of the game. Monte has an unmatched design pedigree in the RPG field, and for that reason we've brought him on board to work with R&D in making D&D the...

I doubt 5e would be out sooner then 2013, unless it's based almost entirely on 3e. And I doubt it will be. So it's going to be awhile still. Seems pretty clear though, either there's a big 4e revamp in the future, or 5e is definitely in development at this point.

I think more than anything, by the time 5e comes around in a few years, if the next edition is more like older editions and has a decent license for third parties, that Paizo would likely support it. I don't think either Wizards nor Paizo see the splintering of the D&D audience as something to...

It really does sound like Development of 5th edition is now underway. Three years into the 4th Edition. I'm sure it could be read another way, but I think most people will read it as 5E development. I wondering exactly what they plan to keep from 4e. The fixed math is a likely candidate. I...

He had nothing to do with 3.5. He had already been gone from wizards for awhile before that came out. 3.0 is his baby though.

I didn't see this anywhere else yet. But it's exciting news for me. He's working in R&D and will be writing the Legends & Lore articles. Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (DM Rules and Exciting News) EDIT: Derp. Rex beat me by a minute announcing the great...

Beta code for me To play with Neverwinter And a thanks to you

Funny, I had just come across those videos the other day. He has some good points. Especially if you're like him and desire more "realistic" combat as opposed to D&D Armor Class set-up. He does mention a better DM would have let him do what he wanted while playing fourth edition, but also felt...

From the context of the seminar, I'm pretty sure they were talking about their backlog of novels being sold on kindle, nook, etc... and not actual RPG products.

They've also recently stated they've been looking at print on Demand. In fact, this news would be a pretty big flop if they were just going to push out nothing but PDFs again. So I'm willing to bet Print on demand, PDF(or other electronic formats) and compatible online gaming apps will most...

Sounds like okay news for Paizo. I'm glad to hear Wizards is improving on the monthly DDI themes. Hmm... pretty dull as far as GenCon announcements goes. Of course, not every convention can have huge surprises, but I was hoping for some news on a new setting for next year, or what other...

True, even people on WoW RP servers who actually do role-play have already done some kind of table-top rpg gaming, so it's not like it's creating a new customer for Wizards or Paizo to sell to. The rest, as you said, just don't care and were never going to be table-top customers anyways.

It would be a nice product to have. I think the closest I've ever seen to a "campaign in a box" was Ptolus. Sans the minis, cd, and cards of course.

I do like the idea of the modular rules. Kinda reminds me of the optional rules built into 2E, just seriously beefed up. Actually, the optional rules built into the PH and DMG were one of my favourite things about Second Edition. So I hope something comes of all this. It does sound like a good...

Actually, if I was to try and bring back players who fell to the wayside in 4E, (and keep 4E players) I think I would do a couples of different things: 1. Bring back the classic Jack Vance magic system. 2. Boil dailies, at wills, etc.. powers for classes down to a consolidated "Power's List"...

Yeah, it's too pricy for what they are. It's too bad because I would like the pre painted miniature market to return. Ah well, I hope WOTC will take another chance on the minis market. I miss em. :.-(

Consoles used to be the hub of gaming for most of the market in 95 (around 15 years in game industry's history, well not if you count arcade games). At this point consoles only have 40 percent of the total game market. None of those consoles separately have more then 20 percent of the...
