Your opinion is wrong. :)

I got to play my first session of Lost Mine of Phandelver, though we only got through the first combat due to limited time. We don't have enough experience to have informed opinions, but overall we had fun and there weren't any complaints in regard to the rules. Also, backgrounds have proven...

In the mid term, Paizo will do well, regardless of what happens with 5E. Their bread and butter is subscriptions, and people who are committed enough to subscribe to a product line aren't very quick to jump ship. Paizo has earned a lot of loyalty. If D&D 5E can provide modules that satisfy...

Thank you for stopping in. I think it's great that you can sell these, both for the community and for you to have a continued stream of income. They're great work, and obviously people want them. But you have to consider the price within the larger market. For example, I can buy the Kingmaker...

$1.25 per map is not cheap, particularly when half of the maps are the exact same file with some layers turned off. Add to that the knowledge that the artist was already paid for the creation of these maps, and most of them will be used only once. Now, I'm not arguing that the artist doesn't...

The problem here is that, while we are allowed to make the scans for personal use, most of those on this board don't have the right to distribute them. Hopefully WotC gets those up on their website as free PDFs.

I generally agree with this. My first instinct is that these maps should be free downloads from the WotC website. But, if it can help the artists, I'm okay with a model where the artist can sell me high res versions. But the price is too high. The entire pack should be $4.99 to $9.99. At the...

I certainly am not going to try and tell you what you should and shouldn't like, but I think portraits are valuable within the broader scope of book art. In this case, the armor is the focus, and it tells us something about the style of armor and dress in the world.

I get where Obryn is coming from. There's a rational there. Personally, I don't mind, and even like that it's just a limited list of spells. But, I tend to play casters, so I look at a spell list and, more often than not, know how each spell works. They've already taken the step of limiting...

I could certainly get behind that. The truth is, I don't have a problem with incremental revisions. 3.5 was a good idea, in concept. It was simply too early. And I suspect that we don't need a reprint of the MM and DMG all the time. But an update to the PHB every five years or so? That sounds...

Another tactic is to release more Forgotten Realms and adventure content. Then, in a few years, shelf the realms for a while, and focus on another setting. And so on every few years. This would create a form of reboot without needing a new edition.

Sure. It's not a bad model. Just not the direction I would have gone. It's worth noting that, if you consider inflation and the increased cost of printing and shipping, it's significantly cheaper than red box was. Having read through the contents, the Starter Set is essentially an adventure...

That's exactly what I was going to say. The composition is good, but it looks unfinished.

My coffee got cold while I was reading this thread. /ragequit

Bonus actions must be granted by some circumstance or ability, and you can only be granted one per round. That said, simply holding two light weapons and attacking with one grants you a bonus action to attack with the other, if you wish to take it.

I definitely think this is the best starter set I've seen in this price range. It fulfills the stated goals admirably. Even so, if I were making the decisions, I would not have targeted the $20 price point, but would instead have targeted the $50 price point and built a more complete game around...

There will be plenty of offshoots made, but there isn't another Paizo out there ready to take on the game. Pathfinder became a success because it met a strong demand, had the OGL to build upon, was created by a company with an existing fanbase of D&D 3.5 players, and had a pool of top industry...

Thank you for the praise. I think it could also use a box for Inspiration. These shouldn't be difficult to figure out. I may wait on an update until we have the PHB, though, in case there's something important that was omitted from Basic D&D. The forms are time consuming to update, so I'd...

Certainly, though I'm not sure how much updating will be needed. In addition, I'm very fond of the official sheets, which is not something I expected. I'm considering devoting some effort to making additional optional pages in the style of the official sheets for things like equipment and magic...

I'm still fond of "neovancian".
