New Front Page They've updated some things. Any new word on the license? Strike the above. I guess it's only the countdown, besides the silly April Fool's Joke.

I'm hardly a game designer, but folks on this thread have said that they believe they could get close to 4e under the OGL and give it a different name. I had more in mind current players not switching to 4e, but sticking with OGL material. Back in 1e days when I first started playing, we all...

My 2 Cents I would not have seen this thread if it had not appeared in the main forum. I believe that this topic is very relevant to 4e. This is the best thread on this particular subject. I have a teenage son and have inducted him into geekdom, he plays in my group. We were at the local...

I too have training in Biology. I changed majors after an internship, I wanted to feed future children, and not be in school for eight years. Back on topic. I mentioned an academy in my setting, because the PC races would have to be at the top of the food chain. The talent necessary to attend...

First of all this is a fantasy game you will have to suspend reality a little. For the sake of immersion the setting will have to be believable. The dragon isn't going to be concerned with the village, she will be concerned with the group of giants that you mentioned. Look at it as an...

My POL I have already started designing my setting for 4e. I always try to have a picture as my inspiration for design. One of the methods for writing novels is to get a picture of someone you want to use as an inspiration for your protagonist. When I design a setting, I use a landscape for...

You seem to be making a lot of assumptions about 4e, without seeing any of the rules. I'm not pro 4e. I'm pro wait and see the rules instead of pro 4e will kill my game.

I've been saying this all along and totally agree with you. Are we the only two members on this board that have a degree in economics and management that can see this and know the science. We aren't puling this out of where the sun doesn't shine, it is science and it's fact. If I had the...

RPG Suvival All the reactions I see are very similar to the 3e change. They are based on fear and judgment based on a very, very tiny portion of the rules. From what I have seen of the rules it seems like a Descent rip off. I'm going to guess that it isn't. I will hold off on making a judgment...

The spiky armor and dungeonpunk argument was one of my favorites. I didn't post here. I was over at TSR or was it WoTC or both? :D Pretty much the same "fears", just replace 4e with 3e. The evil WoTC fears were great also. Adkinson spent a lot of time on the boards back then. Now it's evil...

You have to wear the sock from now until your release. :D

What do you have planned? Inquiring minds want to know?

Economic Realities They would sell a lot more by dividing the book up into three parts at a lower price. There might be a niche for a fifty dollar book, but TSR stumbled upon marketing magic with the three book model. In theory five players only have to buy one book at half of the fifty dollar...

Interesting I see two camps here. Those who dislike WoTC, fan boys and girls of 4e and those who just want to play D&D. I saw the same sort of thing during the switch to 3e. Some of the haters switched over to 3e due to the pressure of acceptance of the new rule system, others didn't and still...

I hope that WoTC is doing something like this to eliminate some competition? Another company publishing 4e material could only help them to sell 4e stuff. This competition between two biggies could be good for us, as consumers though. This is probably short term for Paizo.

It's War Baby I love this move. I've already ordered 4e, but still like 3.5. I believe this is a very gutsy move and will due by best to support them. I hope they aren't basing this off of posters on their boards and more off of an open license. Those who are upset with the change always have...

War Baby It's a war baby, yeah! WoTC vs Paizo & friends. Win Win for us. Competition is always good. :cool:

I ran this for my group yesterday. It was a pretty easy for them up till Nightscale that is. The dragon made short work of them. I rolled a recharge four times and they rolled three fumbles. The wizard rolled two fumbles with magic missle, so I ruled that he hit a melee character each time. The...

Rip I've played since I was 10, in 1979. To say that Mr. Gygax had an impact on my life would be an understatement. I met him at GenCon a couple of times in the '80's and even played in one of his games. Thank you for giving me many hours of fun with family and friends and thank :( you for...

My Take I've been playing since '79 and the above quote just hit the nail on the head. I've played and ran every version of D&D, Basic and the rest of it's family have always been my favorite versions. Part of this is that I played the game when I was ten and part of it is that it was simple...
