    Redefining creature types (musing)

    I've been thinking a bit about creature types and subtypes myself lately. I definately think that I'll be re-working some of those on my own. I was recently thinking about the Shadow, and how in OD&D it wasn't an undead creature. I'm debating on going back to that, since the difference between...

    On the marketing of 4E

    On the subject of breaking tradition... Not to get too off-topic: It's not the rules changes that bug me so much, its the fluff changes. Vastly different changes in fluff in 4E vs. previous changeovers. Unfortunately, sometimes those fluff changes influence the rules. Teleporting Elves...

    New D&D Survey

    I didn't think it was bad. Some of the earlier surveys felt like they had loaded questions, but this one actually allowed you to make some comments after each section, so I liked it better being able to give some explanations for my choices.

    Why I'm done with 4e

    Yes, I think its a wonderful thing that we can all play the style of game we want, with the style of rules we prefer. Everyone can be happy! By all means, if you don't like the rule set, for whatever reason, there are plenty of other options!

    Pathfinder 1E Excited About Pathfinder

    Yes, I actually felt a great deal of relief by realizing I was going to go with Pathfinder. Now I don't have to retcon or re-imagine my homebrew world. I don't have to re-work rules, concepts, or house rule large chunks of the game to fit the settings I'm familiar with. It's like a great...

    On the marketing of 4E

    I've been in marketing for 11 years now, and one thing we've learned, is that no matter how you do something, whether you are right or wrong, its ultimately the customer's perception that matters. The fact that we're still debating these same issues about the marketing after more than a year...

    DDI - 8000 subscribers and counting - When will it stop?

    Even if the 8000 number was accurate, that seems like a good amount of extra revenue coming in, especially when a lot of people pay for a year up front (or does it only bill monthly?). But I guess you then have to factor in, how many DDI subscribers are using it exclusively, and no longer...

    Tome of Secrets - Artificer Issues

    I haven't gone over the artificer very well yet either, but I remember having some the same concerns he first time I read it. I like Eric's idea of limiting the number of effects you include in a device, and a limit on "stacking" similar effects. Maybe a limit on damage based on your level...

    Pathfinder 1E Want to Work for Paizo?

    Good luck on the search! Here's hoping that's a sign of expansion due to success!

    Ampersand: Martial Rituals in Martial Power 2

    Wow, forgive my apparently totally failed attempt at humor. Trying to lighten the mood in here, not trying to threadcrap.

    Ampersand: Martial Rituals in Martial Power 2

    I keep losing healing surges trying to like 4E. :D

    DMG II Excerpt - Monsters

    That'll come in DMG III. :) Or maybe Arcane Power VII.

    Aasimar?

    I call Genasi the Gen-touched in my campaign.

    possibly not a real thread

    I disbelieve! (Is it still here?)

    Prepainted minis

    Reaper also recently announced that they're going to have an entire division: Asylum Miniatures, that will be devoted to producing the prepainted minis. Apparently it was just too much for what they had already so they're going to spin it off a bit to help with the logistics involved...

    Removing homogenity from 4e

    My wife and I have been playing in a 4E campaign for six months now. Both of us feel the sameness to a degree. There are ways of mixing things up and making them different, but we both still feel more satisfied with 3.5. I think using the identical power structure and having the 1/2 level...

    D&D Brand Dilution

    Yes. Yes. D&D is no longer bound to any particular rule-set, it is encompassed by many. A beautiful thing actually.

    Pathfinder 1E Would You Buy DDI-Pathfinder?

    Possibly. However, like others, I would prefer a stand alone program that was a character generator and monster builder. I don't really want a rules database or a subsciption based service. I don't do my gaming with a computer or laptop at the table, so it would only be used for prep.

    Hobby Game Market Strong, RPGs Deeply Troubled

    Plus this doesn't take into account the DDI subscriptions which may be raking in a good deal of dough for WoTC.

    non switchers: what can wotc do to win you back?

    Giving Paizo the rights to Pathfinder-ize the rest of 3E that's not OGL. Oh wait, that'd just increase what I buy from Paizo... Guess I'd buy something other than minis if they did their own books in support of Pathfinder. :D
