What he said !

I think it's too late for WOTC to license older editions. Smaller guys have already moved in, and have acted way too fast for the behemoth to follow. They'd have to compete with established names on the niche market, since their own IP is already committed to the current brand of D&D. It would...

Yeah you are right, that's what I should have said, and what I meant truly. To each his own.

(double post)

I believe ANY system can be fun in the hands of a good DM, even when the rules are an awful bug-ridden mess, and the adventure is a senseless bloodbath of hack and slash. (I am not particularly targeting 4e here, as I have seen this elsewhere). Now it requires the players and GM to be in a...

I remember that some of my friends started drinking towards the end of high school, and it really polluted some of our games. Caused a group breakup really. However, now that we are a bunch of 30 something gamers, we do occasionnally drink during the game. But never too much. And not that...

Honestly, I don't believe that would work. Some people want their Edition War like some others want the next episode of their favourite show. That would not stop them from posting negatively if they want to.

I am really sad to read this, as I thought that even if some people derailed the thread that probably prompted this, there was promising exchange, and I wished I could have talked further with some of the posters. Besides, IMHO, it feels like any criticism of the current edition is also...

I have received my copy from Lulu ! (the second one, not the original). It looks .... well, impressive !! I hope the first one arrives someday, but hey ... let's rejoice when we can.

I'll add something else : I have the suspicion to have played several video games looking like this, but video games have other assets, like cool graphics, background music, and then some ... And in a Video game, non-randomness can be camouflaged. Not so in face to face tabletop

Are they really ? I know them, and played them some, but they seem more to me like "skill contests". Because you have on cold strategy facing an another one, and the brightest guy of the moment wins. And are they really such fun, honestly ? While I appreciate the mental challenge now and...

At which point is it a game any longer ? My reaction is : I would not want to play that on tabletop. Maybe in a bad videogame, that might work. Or not.

This matter is highly subjective, and depends mainly on your tastes, as I have very rarely been disappointed by an OGL product. So to me the OGL bloat does not mean much. The only problem I can see with the OGL is that there were too many player guides to so and so, and not enough adventures...

I have not received the email either. But for me, the answer would be "try again".

Done buying ? DONE BUYING ????? :devil: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!:D I have still plenty of Paizo in the upcoming years, exotic .pdfs from small time publishers, and if all else fails ... other RPGs. Warhamster, anyone ? Otherwise, I get your point, and still...

Well, I still haven't mine, and since I can afford it ... I re-ordered it through the Lulu link. At that point I made an interesting discovery : WOTBS : 125 € + delivery 130 € = 255 €.... I stopped. Came back a few days later to order something from 0one games, and my book was still in the...

That looks just as bad as it was in 3e time. i guess no matter the edition, SOME things don't change.

Most of the time it depends on the skill of the DM. Otherwise, I am very wary when someone gets out a low print experimental indy game from the garage. And no 4e for me.

I would agree a lot with the last sentence, it should be story-played. However, count me in as a very frustrated 1e player, since I could never use the castle I had lovingly built and designed out of my hard earned gold, due to a nasty DM throwing a "save the world from a horde of demons"...

I used to be a FR completist. I ran a weekly campaign with a difficult bunch of players. Whenever I dangled a plot hook in front of them, they would choose to ignore it and take some other tangent. Luckliy for me, between all the detail in the books and DUNGEON (the excellent print magazine) I...
