Oh c'mon, somebody had to do it. ;) On topic: Like Mustrum, I don't believe in Karma as a Force of Nature. If you step on a kitten, rocks will not fall on your head. Hmm, and after trying to find a way to further explaine my beliefs, I find it impossible to do so without breaking the...

A gamers cookbook? Interesting. Will recipies by seperated by genre? :p

I concur. You're all crazy. :p

:erm: What is this tag team spam?

And that I will stand by, c'mon tell me that you didn't tend to do exactly what your parents told you not to. Stereotype? Yes it is, but a fairly accurate one. I can only comment on what did work for me... and pretty much all of my friends. Which is, at least in part a product of the...

Yeah, you don't like guns. I think we all get that. I could list any number of problems with that statment, but will not because they would mostly just get me friendly PMs from folks with nice official titles.

'General Policy'? I thought we were talking about when/how to teach our own kids about guns. Which, as I said before is something that has to be judged differently for each child. I am absolutly not saying "At 6 yrs you hand every child a BB gun, at 7 upgrade to a .22, then at 9 give them a...

Yeah, I get that a lot. I suppose TDMs numbers work well for a game. (There, I said it. :p) I still think Survival would be a more appropriate skill check though.

I think I'd make an argument for Survival. Craft (trapmaking) IMHO is intended for mechanical type traps more than makeshift ones. Besides, who would expect your average Ranger to have Craft (trapmaking). As for the movement of earth, having dug a roughly 5x5x10 foot hole before, I think...

Good point, and also another reason that the core books aren't really a good benchmark for the topic. Direct comparisons are difficult at best.

Yes, I was one of the 'orphins' who waited several weeks to get my Amazon preorder, I know. But again, the topic is specifically about comparing 4e supplement sales to 3.5 supplement sales. Fun Fact that has nothing to do with topic since it is about 'core' books: Your database also shows some...

I'm sure they do. I however, am more discretionary about whom I give my subscription money too. ;) (I'll also add, you have one of the few screen names of which I am jealous. :D)

1) The problem with the Amazon angle is that 3.5 books were also being sold online, it's not as if 4e created this side effect of the virtual market place. There very well could be 'more' folks buying online, but I doubt if it is more by a signifigant amount. OTOH 2) Not as well as expected...

Hehehehe... HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! That's awesome. ;)

Appearantly Ampersand is a subscription worthy article? Yeah, whatever. Too bad, I would have liked to read it.

My advice is don't try to force it. Out of all our campaigns only the highest currently has a 'company' name; The Portal Walkers. Long story, but basically our world has been cut off from all other planes for several hundered years, one of the side effects was that the ability to use the large...

Yes, but a large part of the coolness factor is that guns are verboten. Take that away and your kid is not as fasinated by them, so less likely to go against the rules. Plus, they would know by experience exactly what kind of damage guns can do. Obviously that doesn't mean you give them...

Source? Or are you just blowing smoke? Yeah, you don't need to answer that. I am not saying that 4e is tanking, I don't think Pramas was really saying that either, I'm just commenting that his sources and my anecdotal experience (givin up-thread) happen to agree.

Pramas' sources were specifically talking about supplements, not the core books.

Online sales really don't matter to the topic. Yes, 4e books are sold online, but so were the same 3.5 books that they are being compared to.
