OK, they sent me another email with a proper link. All is good. Thanks.

That's not snark. That's pure wit, my friend, and I would recommend savoring it. How many one-act plays have you ever gotten?

The Rezound is a nice phone. As for the Nook, I noticed that even with the tablet, if I went to the Amazon Android app store, it would immediately close the browser. That's obnoxious. Root the sucker, I say.

Well, I can either be profoundly disappointed or grateful for providing a great example of exactly what I was talking about above. Even though I explained the reality clearly, I immediately got a response that speaks as if the removal of ability scores would leave an unfillable void. Q.E.D...

Ok, so that's the broken business model. What's the fix?

Yes, I'm aware of all that.

What's surprsing is expecting the selling points from seven years ago to guide business practices today. Life is unpredictable, and requires flexibility. The past is for learning lessons going forward, not tying your hands. THE PS4 COMETH: A ONE-ACT PLAY CEO: "OK, gentleman, we have every...

Man, that's some pandering there. I think Erik Mona put it a lot more straightforward when he just came out and said that 4e OGL was flat-out unacceptable. You cannot run a business that produces print goods if doing so is dependent on agreeing to a license that allows another party to order...

Seems to me that if you only apply ability scores to skills, you may as well just make the ability scores into skills. For instance, the FATE RPG doesn't have ability scores. It has a "Might" skill for feats of strength. I think ability score elimination is a good example of why involving the...

In government, when someone campaigns to get rid of an inefficient, obsolete system, you'll run into opponents who insist it still has a place because of all the little subsystems that are dependent on it. The obvious response is that an efficient, up-to-date system will either interact better...

D&D's 3d6-based ability score array is probably the holiest cow in the game--even moreso than character classes. The decision to ditch or retain them speaks volumes. Ability scores really serve no mechanical function that isn't better served through more selective character resources, like...

Thanks for the reply. So, are you supposed to get an email with a URL to a download area?

Meh. Lots of folks post with unwavering certainty that they won't buy into a new edition, and lo and behold when the actual game comes out, their position changes. Time tells. 4e had a lot of great ideas, and a lot of not-so-great execution. If 5e builds on the strengths of its previous...

I purchased the Bulldogs Fate RPG from IPR. I concluded the purchase using PayPal. I figured I would get an email with a link to a secure download, but instead I got an email that contains...well, nothing much really. See for yourself: Something defiinitely seems to be missing. There's some...

As an owner of both consoles (and that damn Wii), I'd say both consoles are good. The PS3 has the advantage of having many exclusive titles (Uncharted, Infamous, Killzone, Resistance, Twisted Metal, Little Big Planet), built-in wfii, subscription-free Playstation Network membership, and let's...

Definitely looks like you've put a lot of thought into this. Do you play video games? Check out a game like GTA or Saints Row. You can explore the map at your leisure.

Well, living in here in Atlanta, I would say that the part of the city that could be classified as metropoitan is not that large. Of course, this is part of the illusion of the comic book world, where the downtown canyon of skyscrapers seem to sprawl endlessly, and everyone lives uptown in a...

I flew up to visit the family for Christmas. I gave my sister a Nook tablet. She loves the thing. As I mentioned in a previous post, my mother wasn't able to get the Kindle Fire to work on wifi, so we ultimately returned it. The same problem was true of the Nook. Taking a look at the router, I...

Yeah, think about fallout new Vegas and the effort it takes to get into new Vegas to see Mr. House or to get into the fort to meet Caesar.

I remember this starting while I was in college a long time ago. Could never get over how the episode with Agness Moorhead fighting the tiny astronauts was rated by fans as the second or third favorite episode. Then again, the mediocre episodes outweight the amazing ones. I actually enjoyed...
