Yea, what finally turned me to allow monks was thinking of them as brawlers, pit fighters, and muscle people that wanted more out of life than mere strength alone. They are warrior poets and seekers of truth while still keeping their bodies in excellent physical form.

For me, I'm cool with just about everything as long as the players understand that the most common races are the core 4 races (human, elf, dwarf, halfling) and everything else is substantially less common. So nothing about a dragonborn empire (ancient or otherwise) in backstories. Sure there can...

Actually, that is factually incorrect. Pathfinder tied 4e the same quarter that Essentials launched and surpassed it in spring of 2011. Source. Wizards released a number of 4e books for the rest of 2011. In fact, a total of four books were released in 2011 following the end of the second...

When I was a teenager, I didn't need adventures because I had lots of time and no money. Heck, back then I scoffed at adventures and those that used them. I made my own campaign setting and I spent hours every week working on it. In college, I had a little more money and less time. So I used...

It could. Or it could be an unmitigated disaster. It could be that busy GMs are not finding the material they need with 5e and are not willing to wait for the "long term" for the material they need to run their games and turn back to Pathfinder that has Bestiaries, NPCs books, adventures...

Yes and that was more than a third of a year ago. Just over four months. Anything since? Like I said, I'm tired of waiting. I just want to know that it is not vaporware.

I agree. The team really hit it out of the park. But a system does not fire my imagination, settings do. And no setting books have been released for it.

Umm, no. Essentials never hit obsolescence. It was cancelled before the "core 10 books" were ever published. Essentials was suppose to be a rules update, but many stated that so much was changed that it was simply not compatible. Not releasing PDFs is not obsolescence, but not releasing a...

I don't hold it against Wizards for Morningstar's failure. I mean they tried something and it didn't work. Hey it happens, even to the best of us. What matters is: what you do next. Do you get just give up on the idea of digital tools or do you try again. Just a simple statement like "We are in...

I was at Dreamation last month and someone put it like this: We just don't know if Wizards will stick with anything long term anymore. First they go with D&D 4e and they drop that. Then comes Essentials, announcing 10+ books for it, and they drop it. Then they start Dungeon Command, and they...

I do find it funny that the one thing I am seeing over and over again is a fear of Rules Bloat. Meanwhile, I am asking for Campaign Setting material, which does not necessarily have any rules in them. I get the Rules Bloat position, but why couldn't there have been a book detailing Greenist and...

I would say you hit my feelings squarely on the head. I would agree whole-heartedly with this as well. After playing the 5e chassis for, essentially, 3 years without a single supplement, it is overdue, IMHO. I certainly don't begrudge them for trying a new business model, but at the same time...

I said several times in this thread (including the post you quoted) that I am a campaign setting guy, not an adventures guy. I want campaign setting material designed with the system in mind.

I apologize for assuming you meant your comment in a harsher light. Editing the above.

Actually, I love the system. I have the just enough crunch to be meaningful while being light enough to not get in the way. I am not a system person. My enthusiasm runs off imagination. I love campaign setting books that are twinged with the specifics of the system. FAQ (just getting it out of...

Actually no, I'm not. I stopped being excited by the base 3.5 system some time ago. Pathfinder renewed that and I stayed with it. Then Kingmaker got me excited and I ran that one. Carrion Crown was ok, but I could tell my enthusiasm had waned. Then there was a long dry spell of Paizo campaigns...

The quote you cited references a meeting in 2012. And even then, while I was excited, I was cautious in my optimism. I knew then that "2 years was a long time to wait and things could change." Well, we're at 2-1/2 years now from that meeting and 3 years from the annnouncement and I have not seen...

May I direct your attention to this adventure right here.

That's the thing ... If I leave, I won't come back. Take Star Wars for example. I was all excited when Edge of the Empire came out. I wanted to play a Jedi on the run from the Empire and the start of the Rebellion. Then I saw that Fantasy Flight wasn't releasing the rules for playing a Jedi for...
