    Does art matter in a publication?

    For my appreciation of a publication, art plays a major role. A good image can say more than thousand words (to use an old, tired saying). The tricky question is: Does it help sales? That's much harder to tell, because most previews don't contain art previews.

    Kindle or e-reader work for 4e pdfs?

    If you have a normal laptop, you can also read it on that one (ok, you probably already knew that ;)). I like to read the stuff by turning the laptop on its side edge, so I can use see a whole page at once in a reasonable resolution.

    Closet Update.

    Nice room. Looks very inspiring :). And don't worry about the amount of material. As long as you have more books and sets than you use, you have more than enough ;). I see you also have Tact-Tiles. It's a pity the company making those is no more.

    Why is WotC trying to kill my FLGS?

    I still buy stuff for Ars Magica, Heroquest or other fringe stuff there.

    Why is WotC trying to kill my FLGS?

    Yes, I guess that's the decision everyone has to make. I see the advantages of an LGS: Personally, I might have saved money by buying substantially less there, because I hesitate a bit more when buying in person than when I buy online. But that's a personal thing and not necessarily relevant to...

    Disappointed in 4e

    Indeed, they are. I remember them, too.

    Yup. Here you will find everything (look also in the menu on the left side of that page).

    Dwarf Mountains: Alps or Rockies?

    That's my take. Forested ranges like the Black Forest, Harz, or the Swabian Mountains are mostly connected to dwarf tales.

    White Wolf: What's the Deal!?

    Changeling: The Lost seems to have been quite a surprise success for the nWoD. They extended the line over the originally planned releases. The four Gold and two Silver ENnies for the game line seem to also hint into that direction. I quite like the game myself. As for the rest of the nWoD, the...

    White Wolf: What's the Deal!?

    It's probably a limited release, for friends of the family only ;).

    Penumbra D20

    I can imagine that they are hard to fine nowadays. With the exception of the Northern Crown books, John Nephew gave all his remaining Penumbra d20 books away for free to everyone who wanted to have some. That's one of the greatest ways to leave the d20 market that I have seen :). I just looked...

    Is D&D Your Favorite RPG?

    Good grief. This poll is more than 2 years old. What sense does it make to spoil a two year old poll with new votes? You won't be able to tell how people feel nowadays compared to two years ago. You won't even be able to tell how people feel nowadays.

    West End Games for Sale

    WEG doesn't have anything licensed. They only use their own IP. I would also think that Junta is the most valuable one, as suggested further above. One could argue that they didn't use their IP effectively. Somehow, d6 was always connected with Star Wars in people's minds. Trying to sell a...

    A jesus fish for role players

    You don't have to talk in the past about it. Some variation of that symbol is still quite popular as an avatar on rpg.net.

    Green Ronin not signing GSL (Forked Thread: Doing the GSL. Who?)

    Honestly, I don't think that WoTC care one way or the other. The wording of the GSL is such as to discourage any company from steering to near to the production plans of core D&D itself and being able to kill any product off that does so. The only GSL product I know of so far illustrates this...

    Prefix Ideas

    That's a good categorization of boardgame types. I'm not sure whether these categories are useful as prefixes, though. If anyone thinks that "Ameritrash" sounds derogatory, let me point out that this is not the case. It was a tongue-in-cheek response to some snobbery from Eurogame fans, and...

    Changeover poll

    I like your sentiment, but in my personal experience, I tend to mix up rules of games that are too similar. That's why, for purely practical reasons, I try to avoid playing several editions at the same time. Perhaps, other people have similar problems. Or, even simpler, they don't have more...

    Death of the LGS

    The prices of games you only get at FLGS have risen on amazon. Most smaller games sell for cover price there. It's only the game books that you get at Borders of Barnes&Noble where you get your discounts at amazon.
