E6 is pretty simple in concept and execution (partially because I don't use capstone feats or the other E6 specific feats). I just need to figure out what is the best level at which to stop gaining them and switch over to feats. If you had to take the below chart for 3rd edition and update it...

Perhaps I wasn't clear. Wizards of the Coast gives 3rd parties tons of consideration as part of the GSL. That half of the "contract" has consideration since it is clearly economically valuable to produce D&D products for sale. I do not believe that "WotC gains support products for it's game"...

As I understand things, contract law does not apply to the GSL. Both sides of a contract need to provide value in exchange for the contract to be valid. The GSL isn't under contract law because 3rd parties do not pay anything to Wizards of the Coast. Can any lawyers out there find any other...

4th edition was made the way I like it...just for me. Thankfully other people like it too! :D

Like "core only" players, I rarely if ever use unofficial supplements to Dungeons & Dragons. Wizards of the Coast already publishes more material than I can use in my games. If it wasn't for the high quality art, I wouldn't buy most of the roleplaying books that I do purchase. My play of 4th...

Epic Level Handbook was in print and available from Wizards of the Coast during the entire life of 3.5 but was never revised like Expanded Psionics Handbook. Wizards considered the Epic Level Handbook compatible enough with 3.5 edition that they never re-released the entire book (some rules...

Checking the U.S. Census Bureau there are 10.4 million boys between the age of 10 and 14. So that indicates around 1.9 million to 3.5 million potential customers who are fully capable of reading 4th edition rules (as of today; this number grows each year as current players age and continue...

Actually, adults find decent art attractive. Nudity, revealing attire, blood, and gore do not make you an adult though we restrict those things (generally) to adults. [Insert "all Corvettes are Cars but not all Cars are Corvettes reference here.] I would like my demons to be tastefully...

In alphabetical order here are the 34 non-adventure, non-folio books for 3rd edition: 1. Adventure Game (3rd edition box introductory set) 2. Arms & Equipment Guide 3. Book of Challenges 4. Book of Vile Darkness 5. Defenders of the Faith 6. Deities and Demigods 7. Dungeon Master's Guide 8...

It seems like the Epic Level Handbook and other books like it had a significant impact on the product strategy influencing 4th Edition game design. Also, I read somewhere that one person has a low chance of guessing the number of beans in a jar at the county fair but if you average the guess of...

This problem is easily solved. Treat all race rules presented in the PHB are for different cultures of mankind (humans). Just file the serial numbers off demihumans. Barbarians and wild men = dwarf stats High society and university men = eladrin stats Woodsmen and rural folk = elf stats...

I'd love to compare Paizo and Green Ronin. Has any one of their books sold even 100,000 units (not counting adding 1st and 2nd edition of Mutants & Masterminds together)? During the majority of time since 3rd edition, Wizards of the Coast launched two or sometimes even three roleplaying game...

True Unknown. What was the combined first and second print run of 3rd edition compared with the 1st and 2nd print run of 4th edition? What was the timing (i.e. the dates) of the 3rd and 4th edition reprints? We don't know so we can't say if 4th edition is doing better or faster. Harry Potter...

6/6 Paladin-Sorcerer +6/+1 BAB, +5/+2/+5 saves, 6d10 HD, 18 skill points, aura of good, detect evil, smite 2/day, divine grace, lay on hands, aura of courage, divine health, turn undead, special mount, remove disease 1/week, 1 1st level paladin spell per day, summon familiar, 6/6/5/3 sorcerer...

I would double check those memories. 3rd edition sold very very well but it isn't really possible for those numbers to be correct about the initial print run especially in light of the comment about 4th edition. I assume neither Jim nor Ryan came on here and lied. ;) Remember, when 3rd...

Thanks for the inspiration. I love Epic Six but one of the things I miss is prestige classes. The thing I love about E6 is staying with low level spells, lower hit dice, and lower AC/BAB with less magic trinkets. So I'm working on a new variant E6*. One where characters level as normal up to...

That is a silly statistic. To quote Mark Twain: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." The Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition Player's Handbook sold double what the v.3.5 edition of the same book sold. 4th edition is a great success story...but print runs at Wizards of...

Your income scale doesn't go high enough. Do you want combined household income for married gamers? $10k spreads are too small. Should have used $20k-$25k jumps. Probably you should rerun the poll.

See the following for an explanation of why Wizards of the Coast felt compelled to include the dragonborn species in Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition. The Secret Origin of Dragonborn "In reptilian conspiracy literature, a sunken Pacific continent (usually styled as Lemuria or Mu) is sometimes...
