Yes, my buying descisions would be affected by things like that. Heck I stopped using a barber because of it before. When it comes to money, I don't want to support 'x' so I won't shop at a store that predominately displays for 'x'. Now if its a case of a clerk with a button for 'x'. It's less...

In strickly home-brew worlds, I tend to stick to seasonal, planting, harvest festivities mainly. Though in certain circumstances, a King's Birthday is a reason to celebrate, along with Royal (Noble) Marriages and Funerals as well. I had one DM center a plot around a King's Funeral. It was a...

I think you could like the Grey Box era of the Realms. Many of us use that for our Realms and just ignore all the cannon after that as it didn't fit our worlds, or how we wanted to play. The books weren't so bad until the Avatar Trilogy which really shook up the world when they made the...

I've been in and have given benefits to buy downs. You could buy down to a 3 if you really wanted to. 7 = 1; 6 = 2; 5 = 4; 4 = 6; 3 = 9 points in your normal point buy generation. Other times maybe that low Dex was a product of extra tough skin giving a +1 Nat Armor bonus or something similar...

Mixed bag of tricks really. I've found enjoyment from choosing, rolling, point buy and a combinations of all the above. One of my favorite characters was a Deep Gnome Fighter. 15 Str 17 Dex 14 Con 11 Int 8 Wis 6 Cha All rolled. I played him as a shorter than average Deep Gnome with a complex...

Friend of mine made this one. It's a very long detailed one.

1. I'll leave Copyright stuff to Danny, he's better suited for arguing the points out. 2. Gaining a player who isn't a customer isn't useless in all cases. I still pick up the new book and check it out at the local store to see if something really catches my attention with it. In cases like...

shidaku, Thanks for proving my point of the Terms of Service. The quoted portion ot the ToS is what I was talking about if you post on WotC or 'save in their online CB' it belongs to them. Not many ever really read it, just simple click and move on. Far as the Copyright's: Have you ever wonder...

Actually a better explanation of it is the old CB format allowed me to partake in a 4E game, where I otherwised shunned it. The ruleset isn't for me overall. Your right they lose no money on myself over this, they lost it a couple years ago in my case. In my case it is an example of how...

Game rules aren't copyrightable. ;) Wizard's doesn't create the backstory's for any of my characters, I do. I generally store that information on the character sheet I use. I've created things from 'me Ugh the Barbarian' to 6 page family histories on characters I've created. Nor do they own...

Much in the same boat as you. I've got plenty of dead tree material to last me years. Have yet to buy any 4e product for myself as of yet (unless you count minis on occassion). I would fall into that casual gamer for 4e in your group. I'm all about 3.5e. But the DM for the 4e game let me...

Just one more reason, I'm glad I never subscribed to it. You all do recall WotC's policy of anything on their site belongs to them right. Remember that in the forums, and how many of us went through and scrubbed our house rules and all from there. Same thing applies to your characters...

:D Welcome to prepping. :D It's actually an aspect of prepping that most never really consider. What to do during downtime. For myself I've actually thought about it some. Now sticking with D&D non-electronic only. 1. 3.5E PHB 2. 3.5E DMG 3. 3.5E MMI From those you can build everything...

Its a matter of flavor per individual world. None of us is more right than another on it. I've played in magic poor worlds where a +1 item was a blessing to get. I've played in magic rich worlds where a +1 item was a farmer's plow. My personal favorite is the approach of simplicity. Villages...

A Yeti's Advice. Never marry with the expecting of someone to change. Honestly knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have said I do 11 years ago.

Communication didn't fall into the realm of my core complaints on them. Many of us are spoiled by the openiness of their 3rd Party contributors so it skews the view some. But you are right, they have been noticeably absent from boards posting openingly about questions. I think many of them got...

Yeah it's bit hyperbolic, but you get where I'm going with it. Actually on a Employee side, yes. It's more beneficial benefit's wise. Company side it's a maybe situation. There are some projects that would be longer or much shorter than a normal contract length. Also with contracts you don't...

Your right there is a few other options. Contractors. Simple contract, 9 months. No layoff needed. Contactor only works for 9 months. As it's a contact position, no need to have unemployment/health benefits, etc. Heck if it's a complete 1099, the company just has it as an expense no payroll...

That would be a correct assumption in my experience. Many parent companies dictate the FY's of the child companies as to spread the work out on the parent company. It also has the effect of keeping the profit/costs spread through out the year. ----------- Yeah a perfect world would have no...

The hypothesis has merit, though it can be defeated easily with a few examples. ;) Me for example. ;) Where it has merit though is those new players who started in 3E(3.0) and progressed through 3.5E. Many hated the revision so close to the original release. Errata fix would have been one...
