The Black Sun trilogy was my first thought when I heard about the POL idea. I'm basing my new campaign LOOSELY on that, with some of the general ideas. I don't think this is the place, but the idea sparked others and I'm more excited about my campaign world and the layers of secrets in it that I...

I never got the hang of Excel, for the ten minutes I tried, and never really found much use in Excel based character sheets or programs. So, did that announcement in the OP imply that the program wouldn't need that kind of thing? I prefer, usually, .xml programs, though I don't have enough...

Keith, thanks for clarifying so many issues. It's nice to actually hear this stuff. :) Hopefully, with the release date creeping up on us and the books off to the printers, WotC will loosen the muzzle some more. We, as fans, really like to hear this stuff and I think a lot of us feel like we...

"Hi, I'm Ricky Bobby, and I play 4th Edition DnD because it's faster, better, and was designed by Elvis!"

What would Ricky Bobby's endorsement sound like, I wonder? We should try to come up with our own Ricky Bobby 4E Endorsement. Some examples from the film: "Hi, I'm Ricky Bobby, and if you don't chew Big Red then F*** you!" "Hey, all, I'm Ricky Bobby. Christmas is right around the corner and...

These are my thoughts on the issue: I think 4E provides a very nice system that will be fun to play (my group has completely enjoyed our playtests) and will appeal to new gamers (I have a new player in my group, a current member's cousin, who has never played RPGs but loves playing our 4E...

Paizo has said themselves that they will not support both editions, that they're not capable of it. They will have to do one or the other. This goes for .pdf as well. They don't have the time or resources to produce for both.

I tend to think the same. Which is why this seems more like a "we will not switch" thing than a "we got the GSL" thing. The GSL coming in wouldn't be something that could be looked over and agreed to after only a few hours. This feels more like something they knew about, a deadline that they...

Hopefully this is NOT a shift in strategy where they release different Classes and other such things in setting specific books and then count on people being DDI members to get access, if they don't want to buy the setting.

My group is the same. We liked a lot of what was in 3E and what it tried to do but the things we didn't like piled up and then the release of 3.5 finished us off and we went back to playing other games. I wouldn't be paying any attention to DnD at all if it wasn't for 4E. I'd just still be...

I have no idea. I would HOPE that it would be included in the Arcane Power sourcebook, or at least put up on the DDI.

You're right. I should have qualified that polls on their website, in response to a direct question from Erik Mona, show that a majority of those that responded would prefer they remain with 3E. It might not be completely accurate, but they cared about the answer enough to ask.

On the 4E forum Erik Mona asked Paizo customers (or posters, I should say) whether we were going to switch to the new edition. There are also other threads, such as whether the DnDXP has changed peoples' minds regarding the new edition. In each poll, I believe, the majority of voters and posters...

That depends. I'm as eager for Paizo to make 4E products as anyone, but the polls have shown a very clear majority of their customers want them to remain with 3.5 and this number is just getting larger the longer WotC decides to drag their feet over the GSL. They don't have an easy decision...

They did say there would be numerous message board fixes done yesterday. Could be something required more drastic measures. The boards over there have been very wonky lately.

The postmaster has a sick sense of humor. It could just be nothing and everyone is just reading too much into it. We'll see, I am sure.

Does anyone have the link to Rodney's blog post? I think I missed it because I'm reading the board in Stealth mode.

I think it does! It means I can't post to the Paizo messageboard!

Thanks!

I hope they really, really don't come out with 4.5--that would be a deal breaker for me and I don't want my deal broken. But I followed through with it when 3.5 came out and haven't played DnD since, and I'd do it again if I have to. :(
