I was at a friends house when I was 11-12 and found a beat up copy of KEEP ON THE BORDERLANDS. I was enthralled by it. It belonged to his big brother. His Big Brother saw how much I liked it and told me I could have it. I took it home and read it from cover to cover more than once and tried to...

48. I started in 1982-83. I haven't played D&D in over 10 years. I've been running and playing Pathfinder 1E now running Pathfinder 2E on Roll20.

I left D&D for Pathfinder. 5E is the only edition of D&D that I haven't played. Listening to the first Critical Role campaign encouraged me to pick up the core rulebooks and 3 other Hardcovers but I haven't played. My last game was a 10-year Pathfinder campaign that ended 2 years ago. I want to...

I stand corrected. Paizo usually lists sales for thier product that they are running out of and during the most recent of those (which was sometime last year I think) I noticed copies of the Kingmaker AP on that sale list. Those probably WERE some of the later volumes as opposed to the earlier ones.

The thing is, while I disagree with that d00d on more than a few things? I dont think that he's entirely WRONG about this part. 5E WAS popular within the TTRPG community in those two years. As an alternative to both 4E and the crunchier games like Pathfinder. People who abandoned D&D during 4E...

This AP has gone out of print RECENTLY. As within the last year or so. It originally came out in...wait for it...2010. It's NINE years old. Even if some of the books went out of print last year youre still looking at it being around for EIGHT YEARS. I could excuse people OUTSIDE of...

Paizo isn’t a minuscule operation. I want to say at this point that I think that they have more people working in house for them than the RPG dept at WOTC does. WOTC is a huge company but D&D is just one small part of that whole. And I really don’t think that there are as many people working...

LOLZ. Edition War? Nah, compared to the switchover from 3.4 to 4.0 then to Pathfinder this is more like an edition skirmish. Maybe an Edition slap-fight...

5E seems like a good game. But it's lack of customization and options (relative to Pathfinder) prevents it from being a game that I want to play or run long term. Not everyone wants their Fantasy RPG to be D&D 5E. It may be the 500lb gorilla right now but it's a relatively unappealing 500lb...

True. But some of the responses in this thread display a staggering lack of empathy (which is not completely surprising but still) and that IS an indictment of character. I've said that I wouldnt use the X-card. But I didnt take that extra step and deride people who DO use it. See the...

Youre going with the assumption that people ONLY or even MOSTLY game with thier friends. Even if that were the case at the height of when I was running games with people I knew there were definitely people that were freinds of mine that I WOULDNT game with. Or people that were freinds that I...

It's my experience that a hell of a lot of gamers LACK standard social skills. And also apparently EMPATHY. Also? Basic social queues fly over their heads like a home run over the head of an outfielder. Which is why when I try to put together a group to game with i'm looking for good PEOPLE...

EXACTLY. My Warhammer 40K purchases have dwarfed my RPG purchases and I dont even really play the game. I collect and assemble and paint the mini's. I have about 7-8 different armies of various sizes. The problem with RPG's is finding a compatible group and consistency. I have a group (we're on...

Maybe next time do a little bit of research and actually know what youre talking about before you post something like this? Paizo did this exact same thing with thier original Pathfinder playtest about a DECADE AGO including making them available as FREE PDF's. They've EXPRESSLY said that...

I'm from NY and attended last year. I wasnt a D&D player at the time (technically still not?) and was there primarily for boardgames and the Starfinder Demo but I couldnt help but notices huge crowds and queues for gaming. I'd heard one or two people afterwards complaining about the lack or...

I thought we weren't supposed to be discussing real-world politics and race issues here?

I thought we weren't supposed to be discussing real-world politics and race issues here?

I think we're just going to have to disagree on this one, I mean STRONGLY disagree. RPG's are not literature. They're reference books. I reference them for rules. I dont read them for a narrative. You feel differently, that's cool. Theyre a creative product in the way a Deitel & Deitel...

Because using him using the Bible as an example of a book that people want to alter in order to destroy may not have been a great example as there are alterations and many different versions of the Bible throuought history. Me bringing up the slave bibles wasn't meant to stand in agreement...

You'd be wrong. While the alteration is problematic it wasn't done unilaterally across ALL BIBLES. It was done specifically to oppress/suppress one particular group of people while leaving everyone else unscathed. It wasn't done for inclusiveness, quite the opposite. So no I dont see removing...
