An extremist minority, regarless of how vocal, does not a majority make, despite their belief to the contrary.

You might seem less uninformed if you didn't cite a hotel chain as a source. WotC is all about "re-uniting" the fan base, which means trying to bring the malcontents back in to the fold. Whether or not they should or can do this, of course, remains to be seen.

"Respect for the creator" is nonsense, though. They bought the rights because they wanted to do something with it. While it coincided with what Ed wanted, it was all fine & dandy but when those ideas diverge it's important to remember the choices he made.

I mostly agree here, but as action resolution they can work to move the story past more mundane scenarios also. If a group is on a dungeon crawl, taking time to describe teh actual search of every, single room can get rather tedious so using Search/Perception as a short cut can be good also...

This bears repeating.

Maybe the mechanics were not where the problem exists. A whole lot of people seemed to like and use them just fine.

Again, he sold the rights to TSR, nobody forced him to. He made some coin from the deal, good for him. However, selling the rights also relinquishes the ability to dictate what happens.

Not if they sell their children for a quick profit.

As soon as the new PC arrives, someone is treating himself this holiday season. :)

"50 Shades" and "Going Rogue", just sayin. ':p His post-spellplague books were also on the list. Sure, it's mostly fluff, but he's had some very good work along the way, "Homeland", "Siege of Darkess" and "Sea of Swords" come to mind. Post "Sea of Swords" though he had gotten in a rut until...

Salvatore was a malcontent about the whole thing. He supposedly had some sort of story outline but the time jump made it not work the way he wanted. He's a hired freelancer, not a creative director. It comes with the territory. He likes the checks and stability WotC contracts offer, but they...

It worked out okay, it would seem. The books sold, the very successful Living Campaign was based there and a lot of people liked it. Just because you seem to think a small group of self-selected internet yellers somehow makes a "majority" does not make it so. FTR I like some of Ed's work, but...

Of course it seems right to you, you love his edition warring garbage as it falls right in line with yours. The guy sold the rights and then expected to still have say in what happens? Talk about a ridiculous entitlement complex. If he wanted to still be the directing force he shouldn't have...

That whiny biznitch should have been excised from the Realms permanently. He's responsible for a whole lot that went wrong with the Realms post Gray Box and I was glad they blew it up as it gave me new, fun Realms material to work with instead of MarySueville. He sold the rights because he...

I was hoping Entreri would finally be dead, but Salvatore kludged him in to the post Spellplague books. Now he's kludged Cattie-Brie, Regis and Bruennor back in to the Realms. He didn't need to necessarily kill off Bruennor (nor Pwent, for that matter) but leave 'em be for cripes sake. EmoDrow...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s59W4ElcxkA Here's the panel. IMO Greenwood and Salvatore shouyld have been kept as far away from Realms design as possible. Salvatore's writing actually was starting to improve again when he had to create some new characters and Greenwood should be kept far...

Must.....spread....xp.....:mad: You did miss the ugly 1E to 2E transition though. :p

This, but beliefs are rarely changed by facts in the eyes of zealots.

Exactly. Paizo can carve out a very nice niche with numbers that are completely unacceptable to WotC/Hasbro, and they do, good for them.

Gee, I've been a customer since 1980, all but skipped buying 3E material, and bought a boatload of 4E. Maybe you just need some of this.
