I see this report, but I note that it talks about shipments, not sales. As we saw with the HP Touchpad and the RIM Playbook, it's really easy to shove tons of units in the retail channel without having them actually be sold. From my perspective, here's what Android manufacturer's need to work...

I almost think Core should consist only of those rules which are needed so that modules can be compatible with each other. It shouldn't even be a complete game. There could be a set of default modules that combine with the core to make a complete game, but little of it would actually be...

I think games do better when they have some focus and do narrow things. The "feel" of D&D comes about because of the weird amalgamation of genres, limitations, and decisions that it has made. I've never been a fan of trying to get one game to do everything. People who want something different...

My wife is one of those people. But hers is a hand-me-down and she's gradually accumulating apps. But she never goes out looking for them. A small set of apps suit most of her needs. One problem many companies have on the advertising front is that they simply make too many devices. Since...

My players have always been fine with restrictions, because they are restrictions that make sense for a specific game. I have a bunch of people waiting on me to start my Wizard Academy RCD&D game, where the restriction is "you will all be magic users or elves". Similarly, I am confident that I...

Not necessarily a lot, though. I've seen enough people who take very good care of their devices, keep the box and everything, and can upgrade to the new devices when they come up for a net of under a hundred dollars. Apple devices have really good resale value.

When I saw the subject, it gave the idea for a campaign where all the events are set in motion by two lichs trying to conquer a country over a couple of hundred years, and the PCs are being used as pawns as we enter the end game.

Mass combat rules would return so that players could lead armies against their foes.

Not yet. Just the initial hands-on impressions from the announcement. We probably won't have a full writeup until they ship. Well, it's the same as they do with Macs and the iPods.

I really want to make the races more different. Right now you're right, there's not a lot of differentiation. I'd like the choice of race to be more meaningful than a few attribute bonuses and the opportunity for racial feats. I want a dwarven fighter to be substantially different than a human...

I like Race as Class. It makes perfect sense to me that different races would have a different take on stuff. A dwarven fighter should be different from a human one. Ah, but there's a lack of options? I think that should be addressed by making it easier to make classes. If I could do that, then...

Mine is very simple. I want that screen.

Everything that changes the behavior of other programs requires jail breaking. The App Store only allows apps where all functionality is within the app. This is because right now, there are no public APIs that allow programs to run within another program.

FWIW, all of these would require jail breaking.

Another possible defeat is that the PCs don't get killed or captured, but that they fail in their goal. The assassination of the king goes off successfully, the kidnapped children are lost, the dungeon's treasure goes unplundered. In an episodic campaign, this is fine. There are some...

I think management should have the vision and guide things, but should not necessarily micromanage. I think the influence Steve Jobs had on Apple shows that this can be very successful.

If you died, you could be resurrected but would have to roll system shock. Because it was hard to get ahold of a resurrection, many PCs would be reincarnated. Hope you aren't reincarnated as a blink dog.

Yes, that was it! You could only get XP from gold. Monster XP and story XP would have to go away. Spells that age you are back. Happily, so is WISH!

What would D&D Next look like if it ONLY contained things that have been dropped as the editions went by? Comeliness might be the only attribute. Many spells would cease to exist, but wizards would be able to heal (cureall, D&D Masters Set). Initiative would be rolled each round, but for the...

Sounds like the Azlanti were of pure Alphatian descent.
