If we accept Smeelbo's claim that IH is incomplete, flawed and doesn't perform as advertised, Ptolus would indeed be at the polar opposite. Man that book is so sweet :) Just for grins I popped over to IH and grabbed the product description for Iron Heroes: Product Description It is not the...

It's Dark Sun, so I'm buying all the books anyway really. I'm very glad the old artwork wasn't ditched or just relegated to a partial 2 page bit inside, but I would have loved to see it remain on the CS. It is on one of the covers tho, so I should be ok. I don't think the new art is summed...

If there was to be no magic using allowed in the game, there should have been a statement of such somewhere. Instead the Arcanist was half-finished. All of Mearls's design diaries regarding IH were removed from Monte's website, I assume from the sale of IH to its current owner. I seem to...

What if Kalak really likes SHOES and just needs a bigger closet, so he builds this huge tower. The PCs kill him, thinking he is planning to kill everyone, and discover he has 8 million pairs of sandals, short boots, calf high, knee high, darn-near-crotch-high, etc. How sheepish would they...

The amusing thing is I was hitting wikipedia and gathering the dates, then I read a bit past Erik's post and found this :) Dark Sun was Oct 91 according to wikipedia. Seems kinda odd these days, skipping GenCon for the big release. My experiences with the D&D to White Wolf changeover were...

I like the division of PG/CS, but I would have bought both books anyway. I think Silverblade went a bit far on things. There was democracy in the past on Dark Sun, even if it is now in legend only. The concept isn't developed out of nothing. Tyr being a "free city" just says to me it is free...

That crown still goes to Arcana Evolved for me.

Yeah, I still haven't gotten too into pdfs. I own some stuff that way, but I vastly prefer a physical copy. The pdf is great when I need to do a quick wordsearch to find something specific or if I had a laptop, but I don't own a laptop. Pdfs are handy for being able to stick gaming books on...

I want a giant glowing red arrow to appear over their head when I throw this debuff. Yes, I play far too much WoW and no I don't have any issues w/any similarities people find in the 2. *shrug*

It's rare to be in a raid and not see it some months :) I'm also a fan of instead of someone informing of the specifics of their needed bathroom visit, the phrase has become "AFK bio break".

One of the biggest problems with IH was the fact that Mearls admitted the book was really incomplete. The magic section was especially lacking. When the author eevn says it isn't done and apologizes, but it gets released anyway, I really don't have any interest in buying it. If IH got...

The pdf market is not the big distributors tho and a great chunk of the stuff available in pdf only isn't touched by them for various reasons.

My wife and I played in a 3.5 game and while the game lots of great character interaction, we were still only 3rd level after 9 months of playing, which was WAY slower than either of us were used to. Considering I hated anything under about 5th level in 1e/2e and begged to start at least as...

One company that I haven't seen listed yet when discussing the virtual 1 man shop is Palladium Books. Say what you will about Kevin, and I often do, but he has certainly done a crapton of the work at Palladium himself. Yes other people have written books and he has used other art, but the...

Actually in post 46 S'mon addressed that with info from the 4E DMG and no 10 months is not the timeframe for 1-30

You realize gamer that everything you said just supported the OP right? "only the most successful companies can do it. Its a matter of having successful enough product that the distribution channels will accept your product to get it into the game stores." In the 90s it was far easier to...

I wasn't aware that there was ever a debate about 3E speeding up the leveling process. I thought that was pretty generally accepted. I also could have sworn I had read WotC folks say that it was intentional

I tend not to take the Forge into account, but that's b/c I think the entire Forge theory system is stupid. The pdf system doesn't need to be taken into account in this discussions context b/c the specific point made originally was that _distributors_ will not pick you up. Print media. Not...

Ozzy was told he would be "The smartest man on the cinder" by the Comedian. Routinely referred to as the world's smartest man. In some ways he is very similar to Captain America as a perfect physical specimen, but he also has extreme intelligence. Warlock implies some form of reliance on...

Altho having Artificers around, tying bits of bone and stone together to empower them to do the things they wants helps explain how Warforged are in Athas :)
