The disruption is that they have to wait two weeks, allowing for more early sales of the print book. I think I've quoted stats on the comparative ease of pirating hardcopy books versus digital books here before, but basically only nutters would get scans out before the digital release with this...

There's a "complete" stat on BitTorrent trackers. The one for a copy of the 4e PHB2 that I'm looking at right now reads "Target file downloads: 2340" which basically means 2340 people have completed the download of this torrent at some point or another. It also currently has...

Nonsense that doesn't work. At best you annoy some people and they look for names that they've downloaded stuff from before for a month or two while waiting for you to realize it made zero impact and cut it out. The only place where this has a chance in Hell of working is with games, because of...

Abject stupidity? ;) Or rather, not really weighing it with the same seriousness they would an actual purchase. I mean, I've certainly downloaded stuff before that I later realized I would never use in any fashion and then deleted unopened. Since the purchasing barrier for a free internet...

As I said in the other thread, it deals 10d10 fire damage per round of immersion. It also apparently inflicts 15 ongoing fire damage (save ends), which I forgot the first time. This is based on the adventure Beyond the Mottled Tower, since the corebooks are silent on the subject and it's the...

It's pretty hard to say what people's preferences for things are, yes, since they differ for everyone, but your bolded line is dangerously wrong - it sounds an awful lot like "No level of verisimilitude is necessary" as opposed to "no single level of verisimilitude is necessary", and while I'd...

The thing is, few of these questions are actually spectrums ("Can you suffocate a stone golem?" or "Can you set a meteor hammer against a charge?" are pretty binary, after all...), and the benefit of consistency is greater than either realism or cinematic/video-game reality alone, and it's...

Jack99 (I believe) has read over it and his opinion was that it very much sucks. I'd stay well clear.

You seem to be holding unquestioned that a game in which one can fight five feet above a rising column of lava is better than one in which you can't, so naturally your conclusion is that we have to have non-realistic lava. Alternatively, some people might want to treat molten rock as something...

The lava in Beyond the Mottled Tower actually deals 10d10 damage per round of immersion and none if you are not in direct contact with it, and is used in a lava trap exactly like the one he's complaining about here - it's a neat scene, but if you're bothered by being five feet or so above a...

Trying to psychoanalyze your opponents in a debate rarely results in anything except anger and hurt feelings. Because alternatively, we tend to like games that we like the abstractions involved in. You're here insisting that everyone in history who's said they hate hit point systems actually...

The Warden actually qualifies for two Paragon Paths with the same name. That's not confusing at all, guys. ;) (Horned Champion from Dragon 369 and Horned Champion from Player's Handbook 2.)

I have nothing but contempt for RPG novels that totally change significant parts of the setting (Prism Pentad) or are utter lunacy when compared with the established setting (Stardeep), but most of them aren't so bad. Or are bad, but only in that they were pretty much just phoned in - Salvatore...

http://www.enworld.org/forum/story-hour/243224-keep-shadowfell-1e-adventure.html#post4511695 So he did.

I wouldn't really say RPG.net is more pro-4e so much as anti-vitriol, because RPG.net has been dealing with system-vs-system vitriol since the dawn of recorded time and ENWorld was originally a place for 3e fans specifically. It'd take something like a month of observing the amount different...

The question here would be, well, why should I care? Regardless of what I personally do, I'm going to get gray hairs eventually. ;) Honestly, this always struck me as more of a business concern than anything, because it determines whether there are enough people to sell to. If you've got a...

Not to threadcrap, but... Well, no, I'm going to threadcrap and point out that Keep on the Shadowfell, well, sort of sucks from both a roleplaying and rollplaying standpoint, so it's unlikely anyone's bothered to convert it. The closest I've seen is a redo of it for 4e that attempts to patch up...

At least for me, Sharn were always those guys who chokeslammed the Phaerimm. Beyond that they were just basically a plot hook, because while they were mysterious and their one big act previously was a Good Guy thing, they weren't confirmed as either good or bad. Then the FR Campaign Guide came...

If it's something like hating your character's build but not making too big of a change, enough that people could reasonably not notice (and I run gestalt 3.5e games, so people are legitimately pulling out crazy new abilities all the time), I'm generally okay with it as long as you talk with me...

Sure I am, if you want to be as nitpicky as you did with the PDFs. I'm gaining the ability to watch the movie while not connected to the internet and the right to listen to the CD while playing a game which requires its CD in the drive. If I then convert the movie to play on my PSP, I've gained...
