Yes, they are. Well, WotC has to actually ship product in order for it to sell, and lately... they haven't. It's been minor accessories for months now since they've "reorganized" 4e. Their upcoming products are spread far out, and DDI keeps having delays. If they aren't putting books on the...

LordJR -> WOW that's FANTASTIC! And only $1500? Good grief! I'm already $5k into my game room right now.

Man, I keep getting tempted with Hirst Arts wherever I see it... This whole thing HAS inspired me to start work on the paper-craft one, however, and I've been at it all day.

And I use 4e accessories and minis all the time, too. Heck, I'm on record as being an ex 4e fan boy who still likes a lot of that game. As I said in my post, I just don't want the edition war to come up when I set down the GM screen with the big giant 4e logo on it. See, my players will be...

Fat Dragon Games has a similar Paper Craft GM Screen, too: The Ultimate GM Screen 2 FDG0070 @ Fat Dragon Games I'm really really on the fence about buying this from GF9... It isn't the price, its the 4e branding that's putting me off the purchase, as I'll mostly want to use it for Pathfinder...

We're working with all the data we can get. Yeah, it might not be the best data in the world, but it certainly better than working with none. People saying that Pathfinder spells the doom for WotC is a bit much at this point... but its certainly no better than ignoring every single anecdote...

No no, of course not! :) I see what you're saying, and if it was pure number vs. number here I would agree. I would have suggested that we needed to look at what ranks they placed, get more data, etc... But it isn't that Product A has 50 and Product B has 10... Product B has 0. If 4e...

Oh, I think he's using the top 100 list, which is the ones that are selling the best over the past 24 hours. Its only a 1 day snapshot, but it does represent sales data.

If they started obviously outselling the other products, then... yup! It would be a metric of the brand. Edit: /A/ metric, of course, and mostly for how well 4e products would do, etc...

I guess this really is the core of the disagreements here. Its my opinion that WotC would benifit more if 3pp picked up the areas that 1) they don't seem interested in producing and 2) players want. And that IF they want more 3pp support, they would need to make the area easier to get into...

dmccoy1693's earlier post also gave more evidence where he went over the research they did to decide to go with PF over 4e as a company. The other thing to consider is that PF already has a lot of APs coming from the main company, and they get great reviews. Conversely, 4e's adventures... not...

Ok... you got me there. But I guess the genie is already out of the bottle on this one? Steeve Jackson Games did an interview on Happy Jack's RPG Podcast recently discussing this very thing, about why they didn't have 3rd party GURPS support. And quality control as well as brand control...

Ok Matt, You are becoming ridiculously pedantic. I can most certainly quantify a generic preference for an imaginary idea to a value greater than zero in an argument that is entirely about buyer's preference. It is the entire basis for marketing! If I had two T.V. shows about Space Marines...

It may be annecdotal in my one case but the premise is generic enough to not be: If, all other things being equal, or at least the differences negligible, System A has material available for it that a potential buyer would like, and System B does not... that pushes the odds of purchase towards...

I'll give a 'why' it would be good: Even WotC can't publish everything 4e every fan would want for their product, ESPECIALLY now that they have dialed back their release schedule. 3pp can step up to fill the gaps that people feel are in the system, or cater to unique niche ideas. You're own...

Matt, The GSL is the only official option open to support D&D 4e, and while I applaud the publishers efforts to continue to support it outside of those constraints, it shouldn't be the expected course of action. Choosing to use the official channels to support the game should not be a blow...

I don't see how a suggestion to publish material outside the GSL is a fair suggestion to publishers who are wanting support from WotC. In fact, it is explicitly abandoning the support and opening yourself up to legal complications as well as an even thinner tight-rope of what you are and aren't...

I'm not interested in "damn the man." And I don't agree with every point in his article, but at the same time, I agree with the idea of it. You call it whining, and I call it justified frustration. WotC's support for 3pp is almost non-existent. And I would say what they have is ANTI support...

Looks neat, Tom!

I'm building my game room right now, and I talk about it in episode 18 of the Know Direction podcast, as well as host some pictures of the work in progress here: 3.5 Private Sanctuary :: View topic - Know Direction 18 - Psionic Holiday Basically I'm building a portable tavern to serve as my...
