As you can see, my avatar is stuck on something kind of awful, which I assume is the default system avatar. I did not change or delete my original avatar, and after attempting to contact two admins regarding the issue (to no effect--one was on holiday, and the other simply did not respond), I...

My unarmed fighter class is called the Bruiser.

I like everything about this except the price. I know why it's increasing, but we'll see if they can retain me as a customer. The key factor is, I think, whether the minis are useful enough to warrant purchasing. I.e. no weird ones that never see play.

It's the reason why I'm here reading this...

Anyone who bases a purchase on the number of stars a product has after 1 or 2 reviews deserves to wind up with much worse products than The Le Games has to offer. I might condemn this sort of action if it were anything worth worrying about. But it's not, so I can't work up any kind of...

Yeah, I seriously like Golarian (or whatever it's called), but my group is going 4E and so I don't see a future there. It's a shame, really. They make the best adventures.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions. I think that the most likely explanation proposed so far is that the lack of 3PP support, and announcements that major 3rd-party players are actually totally out of the game, has probably given more traction to the elements in WotC (read: Linae & The Rouse) who...

Ah, psychology experiments. Informative, entertaining, and--if you participate in them--potentially lucrative.

I am so in on this when it happens. This is fantastic news. I've been looking forward to this book since it was announced, and I love the Mouse's work. Kudos to Clark for this move, and I hope that this whole GSL fiasco gets sensibly resolved quickly enough for NG to publish it after all.

Well, it is a simplification, but the fact of the matter is that no matter what the various parties involved at WotC feel about the subject, or what they're doing about it, the official position of the company at the moment is "GSL: like it or lump it." If there were a release (or even a...

It's all bad until WotC state that they want to work with the 3PP to fix the GSL so that there will actually be some 4E 3PP. Until then, it's a fiasco. All of Clark's optimism isn't worth much if WotC are happy with the situation as it stands.

I'm planning to convert my ongoing Age of Worms game to 4th edition when I get back from research this August. I'm currently partway through Hall of Harsh Reflections, so I'll be starting by converting that adventure from Sodden Hold on. If I can't find this thread once I've got something...

This isn't an error, just something that needs clarifying. Also, I've been out of the loop, so forgive me if this has been done to death already. Invisibility and greater invisibility last until the end of your next turn or until the target attacks. They also have "Sustain:" entries (standard...

Quick question: If a power is blast 3, doesn't that encompass significantly more than 9 squares? I may be reading the DDM rules wrongly, but I thought that a blast 1 hits 9 squares, blast 2 hits 16, and blast 3 hits 27 squares. Have I missed a definition? Perhaps in 4E it refers to the...

It's not even the anthropomorphism. It's the prurient application of same. They could have done a lot of things to differentiate male and female dragonborn, but what do they do? Slap some boobs on 'em so they'll sex up the art. The boobs are only there to make the books more attractive to...

I don't want to post at Gleemax. They'd own my words if I did. Hey wait, if they claim copyright of anything I post there, are they liable for anything I post there? Hmm...

Well, let's say that Paizo can make a go of it with their Pathfinder line. They have enough support from the 3.5-grognard crowd that they can exist for at least until 5th edition on it. Now, let's say that Necromancer goes to 4th edition wholesale. They make enough money at it that they can...

Yeah, they won't be hurting. However, I expect that if anyone does get ground under as a result of this policy, it'll turn into a bit of a bruise on their public image, at least among the online community.

What is the difference between the two bolded sentences? In other words, what's the difference between licensing the Source Engine and making Dark Messiah Might and Magic, and making an entirely new game? They have two income streams: their own product and licensed uses of the engine. WotC has...

You're overlooking the only people in this situation who are entitled to act like spoiled kids: the consumers. If we want to play both 3E and 4E, and have those lines both supported by our favourite companies, we're SOL. But we're the ones who pay for this stuff, and we're getting screwed by...
