Or if you have seen the movie Multiplicity, "You know how when you make a copy of a copy, everything is a little bit faded?". Different clones end up with different personality quirks and/or intelligence levels.

Except for the price point, we're back at the upcoming Apple tablet again (or similar) heh. I assume they will function with finger or appropriate pen, we'll find out end of the month. Other companies have products in this market niche as well, but none of them have been done nearly so well yet.

The first part would be the rumored iSlate (or whatever Apple calls it) likely being announced at the January 26th Apple event. I would love to see what someone else mentioned about errata auto-updating your books and having them in a readable format, as well as having your Character Builder...

Firstly I do have to give some respect to Mark Rosewater. He's an excellent designer and he's been sharing his design thoughts for years now, all the way back to Duelist magazine. Always an interesting read, even if it has been years since I regularly played Magic and kept up w/all that stuff...

Pathfinder isn't a retro-clone, it is merely a d20 OGL variant. Retro-clones are looking back at much earlier gaming history and getting around copyright to make the old systems easily accessible. OD&D, BECMI, 2E clones would all classify. 3E based products are IMO never something that will...

It has always seemed to me like as you get higher level in D&D there should be fewer things you can fight that are even approaching being a challenge, so there should be less combat. In 3.x hitting Epic and suddenly finding all these epic adversaries felt very artificial. Why haven't they...

By the end of the 80s we had a 286 pc in one room as well as an ATARI2600 (got it in 1979 when I was 3), a NES and a Sega Genesis all hooked up to one TV. I played lots of games, but I still read lots of books, listened to music and played RPGs. The hours and hours of sitting around making...

Oh I know they can. They could have kept doing errata for 3E too, but they decided to release 3.5. I just don't want 4.5. That's all :)

Nope it isn't, there are lots of other factors as well. Like how many columns of the smaller print 2E had for one. If there was a smaller font it would have made much more room for things like more monsters in the 4E MM like some people want. Me, I was fine with it as is. I'm one of the only...

Red box basic Blue box Expert Keep on the Borderlands Either Companion D&D or AD&D PHB After that it was everything I could get my hands on heh. I have all 5 BECMI at home so I never felt the urge for the Rules Cyclopedia when it was released. I moved into 2E sometime not too terribly long...

Hey WotC. If you read this thread remember. Players finding holes in the math does NOT mean start working on a 4.5 "We fixed the math!!" edition. Just take notes for further correction in the eventual 5th Ed. :)

The 2 editions had entirely different layouts for one thing. I don't have a 2E PHB handy, but how many points smaller is that font than the 4E? I always disliked the Monster Ecology articles as I honestly didn't really care that much. I don't DM that often and when they would appear in Dragon...

Why do we have to know what causes a Ghoul's claw attack to paralyze people? It's magic. Or poison. Or necrotic flesh that enters the cuts and starts worming its way toward your heart. Or the DM may decide he has a great idea for what causes it. This just goes back to allowing us to flavor...

Or just any novel by Kevin J Anderson, regardless of series heh. His were some of the worst Star Wars novels too. Crystal Star and some of the New Jedi Order were the only ones worse

I don't get this die at all. How many sides is it supposed to be? What significance do all the extra numbers and shapes have? They don't total up to the number in the center of each side. Just curious :)

Maybe one of these days I'll have to give it another try. I got 100 pages into the first book and couldn't take it. My understanding is that if you mix the David Lynch version with the Sci Fi version you get most of the book of Dune covered pretty well. The 2nd mini series did feel very well...

*waves a Richard Nixon puppet around* Onward. I think what is probably the best all in one package as far as adventure and fluff etc is Ptolus. Adventures included to take you to max level and lots of other adventure hooks scattered throughout the book. Plenty of detail there for folks who...

As much as people griped about all the monsters they weren't putting in MM1 already, imagine if they had said "Because we had a huge upsurge in requests for quality lore for each monster, we have agreed to add it in. The bad news is that the book has swelled by $5, 30 pages and has 40 less...

The old model in the TSR days was to maintain 10 different campaign worlds with product at the same time, forcing increasingly smaller niches within their customers who want to keep up with everything. I believe the market research found that most DMs ran their own worlds, but they would buy...

Just finished page 1, but for me I wouldn't stop at saying all WotC D&D adventures have been poor. Most D&D adventures period have been poor, by and large. Yes there have been some excellent exceptions over the years, but mostly they were not enjoyable. I think WotC has gone the route they...
