But... What about all the wonderful hard ciders?! They deserve to be consumed, er, I mean, freed too!

It's worth saying again. If a company expects me to "rent" my RPG, then that company will never see a dime from me. I want hard-copy books and the ability to play without an electronic tether. This is a social hobby, not me being at work.

At first, I thought may haps the people are falling off as with the holiday season approaching, things tend to get busy for people (family, shopping, etc.). But then, I realized we still have 85 days to Christmas... So, maybe they are getting ready for Halloween - real early?

Yeah... I fully acknowledge that more tools are making their way to the table, and I am okay with that - to a point. I think some of those tools are absolutely wonderful and can make the life of a GM easier. But, as you note, the pure reliance on those tools, with no GM (or player as the case...

Given that D & D, or any RPG for that matter, is primarily a social event, the replacing of a key player (the GM) by a bit of hardware/software is rather unlikely. If it does go that way, aren't you really playing an CRPG then?

I guess it's a good thing I don't do reviews. Had a book, using this one as an example, been something that I wanted, yet the only way to acquire said book was to drive to my local game store (if there is one), I would give the book an well earned Fail. As has been said, it is one thing to...

Yay! My Pathfinder version of the book arrived yesterday too. And while I haven't had time to leaf through it yet, I did have a grin from ear to ear as I walked to the house from the post box. And yes, I too noticed that for its size, it didn't seem as heavy as I would have thought...

What's the point? It's still 4E and it still has all the elements that made me not like 4E to begin with. I tried it, and it was found sorely lacking.

From what I know of the Print-On-Demand model, it would take a little time and effort up front, but after that, it'd pretty much take care of itself. Thus, with a little time on WotC's part, they could make available the core books, and more popular other books, available from prior editions...

Just in reading through the thread, it's obvious that many have very differing opinions on what they want in the next edition of D & D. Now, amplify that by those who don't post here, and I think we have pretty much an unmanageable system... Add in that WotC alienated a lot of people with the...

As one of the apparent few that pre-ordered (Pathfinder), I have to say I'm giddy waiting for the tome to show up on my doorstep. I'd missed the original ToH, but have the last two and were immensely happy with them. While I wait, I have had a chance to go through the PDF, and while there are...

Were you thinking out loud, or looking for some particular feedback? I ask, because I can not tell... [sad face]

I'd have to go with the good old fashioned 10' pole. Ideally iron shod. [grin] I do think that whenever a puzzle is introduced into an environment, you have to be willing to be flexible. The players will think differently than their characters would think like (I know I don't think like a 19...

Are you talking about any constructs (IE: Golems), or only those that are of a planar nature? With regards to the Inevitables, I can't say for sure, but I don't recall any creation mythos for them. And as for 4E, I am pretty sure that the standard Golems are listed in the Monster Manul - so...

I haven't done that variant, but I have used the variant where Clerics can only spontaneously cast spells that come from their Domains. It definitely changed how the Clerics thought about their dieties. In so far as the variant at hand, I think it really comes down to the divine casters having...

Just a quick note, the url there for the Paizo location is malformed, so it doesn't work. Otherwise, thanks for the post. I'd not have noticed these adversaries products otherwise. Gives me more stuff to look into! Cheers.

<sigh> I don't want to turn this into a big debate over a ToS. I've had my experiances, good and bad with them, as well as with who owns what data and what rights are implied, to be skeptical and that ToS throws big red flags to me. As for the actual template as linked above... I was looking...

It doesn't matter what they say anywhere but in the terms - as that is the document you agree to. So I still wouldn't trust them (nor lawyers in general as that is who probably wrote it). But, as to your actual template, I do think it is fairly well thought out with regards to what a game...

Yeah... Upon reading section 11 of Google's Terms of Service (below), there is no way I'd ever have anything hosted through their services. Namely due to items .1 and .2. That's just rubbish. 11. Content license from you 11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in...
